    Font - r/dating_advice. Posted by u/True_Nobody_8902 2 days ago He (28m) lied about his height 4 We met through an app, his profile said he was 6'1", and I'm 5′ 7″. If a guy is 5'8" I truly don't care about height beyond that, and he was clearly my exact same height. Regardless, we had an awesome date and had he approached me in a bar I absolutely would have said yes. It's the lying though, I understand the frustration guys feel with the height thing, but I just feel like he already lied off the

    Font - SnooWords2672 - 2 days ago I feel similarly, height is not a big deal to me, I'm only 5'3". But I've met several men who claim to be 6 ft, and at best are 5′7″. The height doesn't bother me but the lying does. 4930 Share

    Font - Enjoy Your_Blunders 2 days ago Honestly, you'd have to be pretty dim to think that you can get away with fudging your height so significantly so if I were to base the viability of your relationship on that factor alone, I'd say dump him for being such an insecure moron. ↑ 207 Share

    Font - cbeme 1 day ago That's too big a difference. It's a lie. If he'd added an inch or two, no big deal. He added 6 inches. I don't care about height. I date someone my height easily. 210 Share

    Font - Cobalt_blue_dreamer 1 day ago I don't pay attention to height really... until I got a date with someone that was way too tall. Now I pay attention. Honestly the lying would be a issue for me like what else is he lying about. He might be lying about some thing more important just to say what he thinks I want to hear. 427 Share

    Font - MissM82 2 days ago So for a long period of time I really thought some of the average height guys lied in their profile about their height. However, after discussing it with several of them, they mentioned to me I might be a bit taller than I thought. And I was like, hmm when was the last time an actual doctor measured my height? Yeah, I was like 15 when a doc measured me and after that age I thought I stopped growing. Turns out I am actually taller than I thought I was. I was like... why

    Font - AmbitiousValuable424 2 days ago Dating apps should just get rid of the height specification. They never ask your specific weight either. Would be enough to have categories like "on the taller side, average, shorter side" or similar. Just like the body shape/weight categories are treated. Not that this has much to do with this post. Just realized that this exact specification is ridiculous. Nobody does that with any other body dimension. 494 Share

    Font - shadowlarvitar 2 days ago He put 6'1 to get more responses lol Dating apps shouldn't have height in all honesty, only super shallow people care about height Definitely a red flag though, if he lied about that then you can't really trust him not to lie. I'd understand if he was a bit off and simply didn't notice, I accidentally had the wrong year on an app once but that was only off by one 25 Share
