Thoughts On Frauding Your Height?

[EmperorKinyagi]

Nah they just always get suspicious after seeing my bed:

This is a good litmus test though if she accepts the LeBron blanket she’s a keeper


Now if only I could show a woman my Akainu blanket and have them not run away @Elder Lee Hung @SakazOuki @Kurozumi Wiwi @MarineHQ

If a girl who was 5’3 lied about being 5’4 and revealed it after your relationship became positive, would you really care though ?

Alright, it's not a world-ending lie, it's "inocuous" per se, but there are 2 buts.

- I might think she's more open to lying than I am (lying gets easier and bigger the more you do it), why would she lie about a petty thing?
- I'd actually really think she's an insecure bitch, who even cares about a woman's height?

Fair enough I guess the height standards for women are more relaxed in general.

Do you consider wearing makeup lying though?

Probably not unless it's some magic over the top shit like those ugly asian women on tiktok that suddenly look like idols.

Then again, I think all of my ex-girlfriends barely wore makeup, so it's either by chance or a subconscious choice. But in any case I'm not against women trying to be easier on the eyes, I'd only care if the change is actually big because I'd have to see her without makeup at home. lol

I am quite happy with my height, because the best part about being 1.83m is that you can neither be considered short nor too tall.

And the best part is when I put on my shoes, I am 1.85m, which is in my opinion the perfect height.

For the date I wore some height boosting insoles that made my walk around height a little bit over 6 foot and was worried that if I was in a situation where I had to take off my shoes I would get fraud checked.

you made that part up lol.

No I’m dead serious I have a set of 1.5 inch insoles that I use for any professional or dating interactions lmao

I mean I think it’s a bit hypocritical to be okay with women spending hundreds of dollars on makeup to alter their appearance and then say it’s insecure/bad faith for guys to spend like $10 on shoe insoles.

For context.

I am 5'10.5" (179 cm). Last week I went on a date with a girl I matched with on hinge. I lied in my profile that I was 6' (183 cm). For the date I wore some height boosting insoles that made my walk around height a little bit over 6 foot and was worried that if I was in a situation where I had to take off my shoes I would get fraud checked.

Fortunately, when I actually did take off the shoes, she could not tell (or at the very least didn't say anything - she was like 5'3).

The difference between 70.5 and 72 is 1.5 inches or about a 2% height difference. I firmly believe that unless the person you're talking to is close to your height, they literally will not be able to tell if you're an inch or two taller than you say.

What's more, putting aside my own anecdotal experience, and you look at the data on this, basically every guy between 5'8 (172 cm) and 6' (183 cm) is already lying about their height.

It's really bad at 5'11 (180 cm), at that height there are so many guys lying that it actually appears that there are more 6 foot men than 5'10 and 5'11 men in the data.


My takeaway from this is that any guy should probably add about 1 or 2 inches to their heights, especially on online dating platforms.

Why would you post this on an anime forum lmfao, what type of information do you think awaits you here

OT: Guys usually lie about being taller, I think it’s dumb to say guys “should” do it especially if you’re already 6’3 without needing to lie lol.

The girls you see on Tik Toks online saying they don’t date guys below 6’ are grifting pickme’s, actual human women would judge you more for lying about your height than they would judge you for being 5’10

I disagree here.

I don’t know your age relative to mine, but I think a lot of millennials/older gen z don’t really have a concept for just how bad heightism in dating has gotten for younger people that have had near constant social media exposure since they were in elementary school. Everyone’s standards are off the charts.

I’ll admit it’s nowhere near as bad as those tik toks would make you think, but it’s genuinely brutal out here lol

You tell girls you’re into LeBron?

Works like a charm

Eh, you've got a point. I think I just gauge differently actually telling a lie than using beauty products. We were speaking about outright lying about it and not just wearing the insoles (even though yes, technically it could also be considered deceitful in a way).

It's not like I think you're 'evil' for doing that, even though I consider small lies do set a bad precedent if I were interested in dating you (I don't swing that way, I'm just big on hypotheticals), but it does come off as insecure, which could be off-putting for some women.

I also wouldn't call you names for that outside of the context of this thread that you know it's asking for it.

I really haven't dated a woman who spends that kind of money on makeup but I do appreciate if my woman dolls up a little for a truly special occasion. I don't think it's the same as a woman who as a norm goes through life wearing a lot of makeup.

The thing is some of those women who do wear a lot of makeup actually are also beautiful under it, so I'm unsure I could say all of them are also insecure bitches, but most of them probably are.

You might be younger than I thought.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

You might be younger than I thought.

Early 20s 🫡

But I’m also an oldest sibling out of three and have a good relationship with my siblings so I interact with a lot of people who are recent 18-19

And anecdotally this checks out, general life expectations in my generation are bonkers

 

[Jailer]

I say to those people find a job, do manual labor, you wont have time or braincells to care for such things

I don't even remember my height or weight half the time

Holy shit.

Nah, I'm a millennial, the women I've met probably are a lot different than what's out there now.

I have only dated a lady your age and she was a nerd so she's probably not the best example.

 

[ZenZu]

@EmperorKinyagi Yea I completely agree with the OP, men fucked up the game. Since dudes who are 5'7" lie about being 5'10", if you are 5'10" or 5'11" and not calling yourself 6 foot, then you're basically nerfing yourself, the perception is completely skewed. You did nothing wrong, you were 6 foot to her according to the rest of the field.

This even starts for us millennials. Another reason for me not to further try.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Lmfao

I'm basically the same height as Zoro you should be nicer to me

Holy shit.

Yeah this is something I've noticed generally when talking to a lot of older people like 28+, social and cultural stuff has advanced so rapidly that I find it kind of hard to explain to them what it's like on the ground lol

If it were a small amount of guys doing it then I agree it would be cringe, but the fact that self reported data implies that 5'10/5'11 guys are rarer than 6' guys you know things are too cooked to be honorable
