A lot of these dating sites have height filters that make men below whatever height a woman checks in her search get filtered out (funny how they don't add the same option for men to filter out weight, amirite?) so you're invisible to them. Do you think it's okay to lie about your height in your dating profile so you don't get filtered out and just show up to the date anyway?
Or would you not do that b/c you think it's unethical or something?
-
Do it. But dont add more than one inch or it will be noticeable when she meets you.
-
it depends on your height, and the girl's height too, the taller you are the easier you can get away lwith ying about your height.
For instance if you and the girl are 5'7", and you claim 5'8" she is likely to notice it, but if the girl is 5'4", maybe you could add one inch
-
I'm 5'6' and I usually say I'm 5'7". I met a girl recently who is 5'. She said height was really important to her and asked several times before we met if I was really 5'7". She didn't say anything about height until the night I met her, after I slept with her. She said we would have short children. ;) You can lie about an inch but not much beyond that because that pisses them off and they wonder what else you are lying about.

I was thinking of posting an old picture of me on Tinder and listing myself as 6'0, then showing up to the date in my wheelchair. :D

I'm thinking of understating my height by 10 inches to filter out all the shallow sluts. Bitch thinks she's filtering me, but in reality I'm filtering HER. Check-fking-mate.
Seriously though these sites are made for imbeciles I don't use them.
She said we would have short children.
Bitches don't know about HGH and AIs. I'd beat the out of her for such ignorance.

Unfortunately, tall men (6' and up) are gods in online dating because a lot of girls/women who don't think things through, filter to "6' and above", instantly excluding 75% of the population (height is usually one of, if not the only quantifiable criteria on many sites, so the mechanics of the sites favor tall guys, although many 5' 11" guys list as 6')
Because so many girls filter to 6' and up, and even those who don't filter probably prefer 6' and up, there are probably 3-1 girls/guys for 6 footers in online dating.
Don't sweat it though. As I said, that's the way online dating is set up. If it asked, "small boobs or big boobs?", most guys would select big.
Don't lie about your height and further feed into the superficiality of online dating. After all, don't you want to filter out hightest women?
-
You can add up to 5 inches like this guy https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/68/eb/fc/68ebfcdf5f1bec60f1b19f089aa311b5.jpg

Short women are the WORST when it comes to this. I kinda understand sometimes why they do it...they're insecure about their own height, and if THEY don't like being short...they must know how horrible it is for a guy to be short. They don't want to pass this on to their future kids, so they shoot for tall men. I had a short ex who used to say a lot "we'd have short children." I couldn't get upset or she'd know my height insecurity, so I usually laughed it off, or tried to gently reassure her that I had tall uncles/cousins (as did she), so there was hope.
I used to add an inch when I did online dating. I only got caught when I went out with four women who were between 5'7 and 5'8. One definitely cared, one I screwed up, one I hated when I met her in person (horrible personality) and one I ended up dating for a while (and she was hot, too). They all messaged/winked at me. So the risk with lying is that when you get up to the taller-ish girls who don't care as much about height, if they reach out to you and you want to date them, they will be able to tell you were lying.
-
This is my experience as a girl, I'm just over 5.1, if I go the m atrimonial sites I normally put 5.3 however if there a guy that I really like and he's requirement is 5.4 than I will go back and change it to 5.4 which I know is wrong, the thing is I'm a model, obviously not a catwalk , but for makeup artists, or for photographers who just want to build their portfolio just for the face, or for college students who are doing photography etc and what has happened is when I have met these guys from the matrimonial sites after they've met me and seen my face they don't care about the fact that I added 2.5 inches to my height, so for those have who are really handsome has it ever happened to you that when you lied about your height but the girls think you're really handsome they have overlooked your height
-

No.

Lie by about two inches. Bitches don't know.

I think you mean "bishes." After all, LL Forum = Misc part 2.
I remember when you said "just say you're 10ft tall," I almost died laughing when I read that for some reason.
Also, again, be careful with lying. Because taller/tall-ish girls (5'5/5'6 and up, depending on how tall you are) will be able to tell. I used to say 5'7", even in person when not dating...and one 5'5" girl called me on it (I was like 5'5.3" or a little under at night before LL). That bish.

Men lies about their height as women lies about their weight ;D
-

Weight is easier to hide and lie about whereas height is not. You can't compare the two.

Yes. Countless men lie about their height in real life, let alone on online dating sites.
Just don't make it too unbelievable of course.

I've had a 5'3 girl(at best) call me short before and I had 8 inches on her.. I said that's a bit rich coming from u.. And she said ur not that much taller than me.. I thought how the fck can someone be so delusional especially when they come up to your shoulders. The only thing I could think was that some short girls try to make themselves feel better by convincing themselves that they are taller than they really are by downgrading other people.. It's funny how girls say guys are shallow when girls put some much emphasis on a quality that guys have no control over..

Yeah but those kind of girls are terrible to be with, they are uncomfortable with themselves and get comfort by criticising others that are actually better (like the Europeans are with Americans! haha). They are the type when even if you make 2-3x more than them they'll still say that "you don't make crap". There is something about being a very short woman that makes them super judgemental while completely ignoring themselves in the mirror.
-
has it ever happened to you that when you lied about your height but the girls think you're really handsome they have overlooked your height
Every single time. I say I'm 5'8", I've never had a problem with the lie. I've dated a girl that was the same as my actually height and she never noticed, I think when they meet you most of them don't even remember what you listed your height as on your profile.

I used to say 5'7" and I only got caught with a few girls who were actually 5'7" and up (they were a tad taller than I was). but for the most part it wasn't a problem!
-
I always say 6'5. Then, when we meet each other in person, I just tell her that I accidentally entered my height in backwards.

Lol thanks man
I might make an okcupid profile just to do that.
-
nooooo... what if she find out?
-
Once I added 2 inches to my d1ck size on a "caliente" phone dating site. I suddenly became very popular ;)
I picked one girl up, she didn't say nothing about "the lie" but I still got to bang her that nite! :) Funny thing is that she was pissed that I'd never called her back! ;D
-
Well, I think the expectation is that every man will add 1-2 inches to his height. If you don't exaggerate to keep caught up, women will assume you're shorter than you actually are. I typically would list myself as 5'8, but I looked at a bunch of other guys profiles and it seems like a common height, its what the slightly short guys round up to, so now I say 5'9. I feel like I'm pretty accepted at that height. Interestingly, its always women around my height I attract (except for a 4'10 one once!)
-
add insoles to the shoes ( in case you get a date), the date will go ok and no worries ti'l you have to take them off but by then you'll be safe.
-
im around 5'9
i should say taller, as when you say 5'9, they think youre 5'8 or maybe 5'7
all these guys lie on dating sites, so no choice but to lie too
-
I actually wondered this morning if I'd get more likes and massages by saying 5' 10" instead of 5' 9", but that would be going against my current dating philosophy.
If a girl rejects 40-45% of men by her "5' 10" height filter, I would not be interested in that person. If she sets the filter to "6' " I would never want to associate with that person.
Even if I woke up at 6' 1" tomorrow, I would always resent girls who discriminate against average height men because of the mental struggles with height neurosis I've been going through.
The one benefit of not exaggerating your height is that you filter out superficial women.
Seriously guys. we can't get every girl in online dating. I'd rather catch the right fish than any fish.
-
Not actually, 5'10"s are more likely to lie so they can climb to the category of 6 footers let's be honest to the women a 5'9" guy is just as useless as a 5'5" I didn't make this up there's lots of forums where decent looking men with solid incomes complain about this. Lying is not bad in this case.
In respond to the fish comment. Women choose you not the other way around, you can only hope you get chosen by someone special someday.
( I've participated a lot in this site so I am not gonna reply much but I will try to return tonight.)

I have extensive experience with online dating, and have many female friends/former girls I hooked up with that all say they assume men below 5'10" add on like two inches of height. One girl is 5'7" and told me she dated a guy that claimed 5'10 but was more like 5'5"!
When I was 5'5 and some change, I used to say 5'7" and got away with it unless girls who were 5'6 and up dated me. Even then, it was mostly ok. I think lying by more than an inch could get you in trouble, because they'd probably notice it, especially if they're close to your height. Now that I'm 5'8", I just say 5'9" (since they probably think 5'8 = 5'6").
In my opinion, Tinder can be rough for short guys because even you got a lot matches (I got a lot of matches), the subject of height typically comes up, because Tinder is a height lottery if it's not discussed. So, you're put on the spot, and they will remember it more if you meet in person and you're shorter than what you said (this applies more if the girl in question is close to your height).

In your experience with online dating, were you often contacted by women when you put 5' 7" or did you always have to reach out to them?
-

As much as people on here aren't going to believe me...most of the women that I dated from OLD starting in 2007 (before I got a 5 year girlfriend) actually contacted me first. My ex-gf of 5 years (she was 5'3"), and even a model. The model was like 5'8", but she asked me if height was a concern when she emailed me, I told her I didn't care, so she already knew I was shorter. In person, she never questioned what I said 5'7" when I was closer to 5'5". Yeah, I got a lot of fatties and ugly chicks that I ignored, but had my fair share of good looking women when I was saying 5'7". A few girls I reached out, but even now, my rule is I only message a girl when her profile absolutely blows me away AND I think I have a reasonable chance of a response based on her profile and what I think she's looking for (women have it much easier online, so I usually just wait to be message).
Now that I'm saying 5'9", I do seem to be getting more good looking women reaching out to me first (including many women 5'6-5'8, which is cool, and proves that it's really the very short women who are the b*tchiest about height)
I also was lucky to have written great profiles and have fantastic photos and am very photogenic (two people on here know what I look like).
It's weird - I actually just NOW got an email from a very cute 5'3" woman on POF, brown hair/green eyes. She's definitely getting a response :)
-
I say go for it. Women lie about their weight online all the time. Anyone who's seen a profile listed bodytype: curvy knows what I'm talking about.
Off topic, but one thing that takes some getting used to is that I see breasts from a higher angle than I could before. So many women I've known all look like new acquaintances to me now.

Let's call it what it is. Curvy = a nice way of saying morbidly obese.

Hey, hey, hey. She's not fat. She's just cultivating mass.

I wouldn't lie, feels like you're cultivating your own insecurity. Even if I got rejected by some women -it's like Newheights says, I wouldn't want them anyways if they were shallow like that.

Agreed, but it's almost a must with online dating unless you're already 5'10+. Because women set their filters extra high in order to not only weed out short men, but also men who are lying about their height (when in actuality, they'd be ok with men 5'8" and up, but they say 5'10" and up to account for height inflation). Plus, lying by an inch you're not likely to get caught, and you can also just say it's your height in regular shoes.
Lying by more than an inch, you're more likely to get caught, and then they'll wonder what else you've lied about.

One online date I had said she was 5'6".
When I saw her I went: euhh you are not 5'6"
She: I'm 5'3" but I'm always on heels...

i put on my tinder profile 6'1 just a couple of weeks before starting my lengthening journey.. so i was basically adding 2inches to my height at the time.. i wanted to experiment and see if women would make comments about being that height.. i wasnt actually expecting to meet up with anyone as i had a fake height on my profile.. however i ended up hitting it off with a very fit older cougar.(about 10 years on me). but i thought, sh*t i dont know if i want to meet her as ive lied about my height.. the funny thing is she told me she was 5'10 so i was extra worried shed notice that i was only 1 inch taller.. i went and met her and she was in heels and i was still a bit taller than her.. so she obviously lied about her height aswell.. she was more like 5'8..which i was very relieved about.. but goes to show even taller women lie about their height.. thats kinda equivelent to a 6'2 guy saying hes 6'4.. seems kinda pointless really..
-
I saw my ex-gf's online profile (OKC said were a 95% match - go figure). She claims 5'5" when she's 5'2-5'3 at best.
-
My bro is 5'9" and wrote 5'10'', she gave him even tho she lied as well on her height, apparently it was ok for her to do so... :P
-
5' 5" to 6' 2" is only an increase in likelihood of being contacted of 3 percentage points. Seem right to you guys?

I would be very surprised to learn if that were true. 5'5" to 6'2" is a HUGE difference. That's like, 3-4 different "leagues" of height in that range. A 5'5" guy may as well live on a different planet than a 6'2" guy lol
The most common height thresholds I see online are 5'8"+/5'10+/and 6'0+. In my opinion, once you've cleared 5'10" it really doesn't matter anymore to almost all women (except for the really tall ones like 5'9"+).
-
I have been doing online dating for some time and almost every woman i meet lied about their height by about 2 inches
-
For whatever it's worth, I just started doing online dating and the girls who've liked me are from 5' 1" to 6' 2" (yea, I know). The majority of girls are 5' 5" to 5' 9", so the theory that short girls are the worst height queens might be accurate.

Yup. I claim 5'9" now, and I seem to get the most love from girls who are 5'5" to 5'8". A few taller by like an inch, and some that are like 5'3", but never lower than 5'3" lol those really short girls want giants to give them tall kids (or so they hope - dumb broads).
-
If you are lying about your height that's means you don't know how to get girls. Rejection is a normal thing and it can help you to learn how you can get the success next time. I have seen like lots of people with no great heights and have models with them as a girlfriend. Here is a website you should read confident up website. This will help you to get girlfriends even your height is not that good.

We are talking about online dating. If you are under a certain height, your profile won't even get many views from good looking women. Women are upping their height filters because they know men lie about their height by on average 2 inches. I don't mind saying 5'8" but I feel pressured to say 5'9" simply so my profile can be seen by a decent amount of women.
I was contacted on Match last night by a 5'10" model...we'll see where this goes...lol. Her height minimum is 5'8" (taller girls are always nicer about this), I just made it lol

The irony to this? This model you are talking about wouldn't even talk to you if you were your height before LL. Lets be honest here...

Well, yeah, I mean, that's partially the idea behind LL dude. To make us more confident and more attractive to women. I didn't do it for women per se, this was more for me, but that's an added bonus.
Just the way if a fat girl loses a ton of weight, I might find her attractive. Same thing, only with us, surgery is required.

I think there are some women who would actually be really impressed my a short guy who didn't give two you-know-what's about his height.
-
There are surely a good number of tall women out there who'd be impressed by that. Sadly, they are not the norm, and women as a whole (no matter what their height is) strongly prefer tall (or at least average) men.
To quote something that Sweden once said to me: "We all know taller is better. That's why we do this surgery."
-
Hey yellow. I really think your height is ok now. You are 174 at morning. But if you are going to do your tibias . Just do it for a little amount. Like 4cm as you said and dont go for more.
-

Appreciate it buddy. I'm actually as high as 175 on some mornings when really well rested, but usually more like 174.7...but at the end of the day, I'm right at about 5'8"/173 (late evening). Sometimes a bit over, sometimes a bit under.
Yeah if and when I do tibias in a few years, I'm not going over 4cm...want to keep the risks as low as possible. Tibias terrify me, but I got over my fear of this sh*t once before. My main concern is a slow consolidation and the fact that my calf muscles are very large...I'm scared I might get bad ballerina, but we shall see.

I think you are generally collect, however, I would argue that "taller is better" is an oversimplification. It's more, make in into the 5' 11" to 6' 2" club and you're golden. That 3 inch range is the holy grail of height for a man.
If someone could magically make me 6' 5" or 5' 11", I'd take 5' 11" any day
-
I agree with you...but if I could be a proportionate, muscular 6'5" man...geez...talk about life on easy mode! Men will be intimidated by you ,and there are a lot of size queens out there.
But as I've said before, once you've cleared 5'10"...it really doesn't matter anymore.
-
I´d say your fine once your are 180 rather than 5´10. Soo many girls out there are 175+ so it´s kinda annyoing if they are taller than you as soon as they wear some kind of heels.
A problem I face pretty regulary is that I prefere girls who are around 180 so I´m always a little too short for them at 5´10.
-
Yeah but even so, at 5'10" even tall women will typically be ok with your height.
I personally prefer women 5'3-5'7" anyway. I don't mind if they're a bit taller than me with heels, even if it's not preferable. I'm 5'9" in shoes/sneakers, so I really only have to worry about that if they're 5'5"/5'6" and up and wear heels that give more than 3 inches.
-
Mate everyone care about them-self only. How am i looking howz my clothes, howz my shoes?? So it doesn't matter don't worry play it cool.
-
While I would love to be properly tall what I'm really aiming for is a height (or size) that is just comfortably never short.
I wanna drop all these thoughts on height so something unremarkable but still respectable would be very good for me.
-
If you're 5'10 and in shape, I think height should never be a problem. Even in Hollywood, the most shallow of all places on Earth, the 5'10 actors are never derided as short by the media.

Agreed on all fronts. At 5'10" you're more or less safe. 5'8-5'9 is a grey, though 5'8" is more borderline and trending to short.

I also agree. Urgh, why couldn't I just be 1 teenie tiny CM taller so I can say 5' 10" instead of 5' 9"?
("Hey, NewHeights....weren't you into the whole inversion/gluco thing to squeeze out a CM?" "Yes, but it's too much work I think. Maybe, we'll see....")
I would say 5' 9" to 5' 10" is the most significant 1 inch difference in the psychological perception of height. 5' 7" and 5' 8" is still considered short, and 5' 9" can go either way. 5' 10" is normal. Probably not logical for most men to be worried about height at 5' 10".

Where I live and people use the metric system, 180CM is a very important milestone. It is implicitly agreed that men are 180 or taller and women are almost always shorter. Then there is 185CM where some people start to consider you tall and 190CM where everyone considers you tall.

I think there are some women who would actually be really impressed my a short guy who didn't give two you-know-what's about his height.
The only ones who don't care about height are men. Some do but most don't. They see how attractive I am and how nice of a body I have, my height is the last thing on their minds. I even asked them and they really don't care. I'm not saying I cannot attract women, it's just that they will judge my height and it really pisses me off which can make me treat them very badly. I'm the type of guy who is not easy going at all. You say something bad about me and insult me, I will treat you like sh*t. I already have too many things on my mind...

This is exactly why I'm still not satisfied at 5'8". The only question is how to squeeze out that extra inch. Tibias take forever and I'm on the verge of getting a new and very lucrative job in my field. I could pull off another inch on femurs and be back to normal pretty quickly, but then I worry about proportions. I don't know what to do.
Honestly, you're what, a weak 5'10? Dude...you are fine.

yellowspike. stop making excuses and get tibia done.
instead of answering with an excuse on why this or why that(for why you cant do it). if you have an excuse then just simply say you will accept your height (instead of giving me the excuse).
see where im going with this. you have 2 options only. you only ever did.
either 1: get tibia surgery.
or 2: don't get tibia surgery and stop dreaming.
and before you say you have a third option for 1 more inch on femur............... let me tell you a secret. you are addicted mate, you will never be happy with 2.5cm, and you might not even have 2.5cm left on your nail, it might really be 2. after all you gained more than you expected.
I mean this post in a constructive sense, but you have made 100 swip swaps on your decision, so I beseech you, man up and make a decision. either be happy and don't do it, or decide to do tibia.

u use to 5'5 and arent happy with 5'8... well 5'9 u wont be happy with either as ull still feel shortish.. i think u need to get to atleast 5'10 to be happy by the sounds of it.. so u need to either get tibias done or accept ur new height..

With all due respect for what you've gone through to reach 5'8, I do agree with the last two comments, being 5'10 and having spoken to lots of 5'8 and 5'9 people about height.

Guys, yellowspike has been through a lot about his height. He has every right to want to be taller. You shouldn't blame him. I understand what he is going through. He disliked his height so much that he wants to be satisfied with it at least once in his life. After all, he only has one life.
Let him do what will make him happy...

I want to do tibias, I honest to God just don't know when I will have the time. I don't run my own business, I'm not in college and not exactly rich like some people on here (not speaking directly to anyone on this thread). I cannot afford to f*ck up my career, as much as I want to do tibias. That is why I've been wondering about doing another inch on femurs and be done with it...get a little more height while not ruining my career. And it's not that I'm entirely unhappy, I'm significantly happier with my height, just not totally satisfied. I'm ambitious, what can I say? I feel short still but not ridiculously short.
In a perfect world, if I had the time, I'd totally do tibias as much as I'd rather not.

Appreciate it. LOL at least someone gets it. People think I'm "making excuses." I have a life and career to attend to, and just landed a really lucrative opportunity. I'd love to be 5'10"..but what's the point in being 5'10" if I'm broke and have no job. Women won't care, and I certainly wouldn't be happy with that kind of life.

Now you can see why being 1-2 CM shy of 5' 10" makes me mad.
Seems like 5' 10" is the new 6'. Those are the two most important height benchmarks IMO.

Why don't you try a 1 inch lift, and see if you feel any different at 5' 9"+? Might as well test that height before you consider anything.

No problem man. Not everyone can understand how we feel sadly.

I was a weak 5'10 prior to LL. 5'9.5 throughout the day. If I were an inch more naturally, I don't think I would've done LL. Being stuck between 5'9-5'10 is like purgatory. You're always on the periphery of being short and called small.

I wasn't targetting you guys at the forum. I was speaking about people in general. People rarely can understand what height dysphoria is and how much it can affect a person.

Yeah there isn’t any issue about lying for your height for online dating but if you are serious about dating the person on other end then you must tell truth. I am also in relation with a gay man whom I met on one of the best Gay Apps Grindr (http://www.grindr.com). We both told everything true to each other and that is a reason our relation turned into a real time affair.
