Okay, so what happens after when they meet for the first time?

"No wait, I REALLY was 6' 2"! But that's only when I wear high punk boots."

And when a woman finds out... then what?

---

I lie about my height because everyone does. I say I'm 5'9 when I'm actually 6'2 because everyone is claiming to be taller so I just want to fuck with perspectives.

---

lol guys i didn't say lying about it is a smart move

---

A lifetime of atrocious posture has me about an inch shorter than I was when I was in my late teens. It sucked adjusting to telling people I'm only 5'9". I've tried to do correction exercises but I think it might be permanent at this point. Have some real Mr. Burns shit going smh.

I just think people include their shoes or something when talking about height. Like I'm 5'11 and I haven't seen a woman or anyone else for that matter ever say anything about me being short like ever in my life. (Because apparently being 5'11 is a manlet according to the internet or something and I will never have a chance with woman due to my height. lol) Actually the opposite often happens to me where people call me tall instead. And honestly at 5'11, if I had to estimate out of my own ass I'm probably taller than around 80% of the other males I see. Not rare for someone to be taller than me but not exactly common.

I've seen people slightly taller than me say how they're 6'2/6'3 and shit and then get bothered or something when I say I'm only 5'11. "No way bro, you're fucking 6'1" like idk what to say, for the past 4 years, every time I go and see a doctor my height always come back as 5'11. I've even checked it myself and the results came back as 5'11

I ask these people if they include shoes in their calculations and they always say no. so idk anymore \_()_/

Used to call myself 5'10" and a half, now I just say 5'10"

---

I lie about my height all the time.
I'm 6'3.
I tell folks I'm shorter.

---

Idk man but being 66 with a million in the bank is still tough

Because a lot of people think there's a huge difference between being 5'11 & 6'0.

I'm like 6'0 and a half and people lie like FUCK about their height. 6 feet is actually pretty tall and there's all these guys that want to claim they're 6 feet but they're not. Guys have told me I must be 6'3 or something. Uh, no. With no shoes, I'm barely 6'1. That's it. I've checked. Guys just want to be 6 feet tall so bad.

My friend who is noticeably shorter than me is two inches taller than me on his driver's license.

To be fair, my dear boy, the people who lie about their height are usually rather insignificant

my dear boy

If you actually were as intelligent as you want everybody to believe you are then you would know how much of a tool you look like when you keep saying this.

Never known anyone really care outside the internet

yeah, it's crazy how nine out of any ten dudes you ask will just blatantly add 2~3 inches and not think anything of it

nobody believes that i'm only 5'8 cause i'm really actually 5'10+

Imagine not understanding why it's considered significant, which post #2 accurately detailed for you.

It's not predominately men who consider it significant on their own.
It's overwhelmingly and admittedly women who treat it as a potential dealbreaker if a man doesn't reach a certain height quota...

The number of women casually fussing over a man's height is why many men pay attention to the longstanding trend and get concerned about it when desiring to date women.

There's only really a few heights that a man can be. If they're under 6 feet tall, but close(within a couple inches), they're 6 feet tall.

If they can't pass for 6 feet tall, they're 5'10. Unless they're literally shorter than the average woman, they'll say 5'10.

Over 6 feet tall, they'll just say their actual height.

---

Nearly everyone else height frauds, so if you don't, you sound like a midget lol.

For example my just barely 5'9 brother claims to be 5'11. It's on his cards and everything.

And when a woman finds out... then what?

Onto the next one? It's not like listing your real height if you're short is going to help you any more.

I put 6'2 online even though I'm 6'4, because 6'4 is actually a deal breaker for a lot of chicks. They think it's a little too tall.

In person the reaction is always "wow, you're taller than I thought" but then they don't care after that. Sometimes they'll compare to other dudes in their life and I'll just be thinking "yeah, I subtracted 2 inches and he probably added 2"

Yeah, sadly. You're gay right? Sorry, just asking because I get you confused with another poster. I always like your takes on the dating game.
