Thoughts On Frauding Your Height?

[EmperorKinyagi]

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.

You shouldn't lie about your height

 

[Kōri no kokyū]

Never really understand guys or even girls obsession behind height.
I'm 6'3💀.

Also , there's barely any girl reaching 5'10 my blud. I mean most are below it.

And if a girl leaves for height , bruh you dodged a solid bullet. They will single mother by the time it's their 30s.

Lying about your hight -> no.
Wishing to be a few centimeters taler -> legit.

But theres no need to cry about it.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

You shouldn't lie about your height

I really don’t think you’ll ever get caught unless you’re adding like 3 or more inches

Again I don’t think people in real life actually know how small the difference is between like 5’11 and 6’

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

I'm 6'3.

Bitch stfu

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

But if there’s some social standard height metric, and you’re literally a few centimeters within it, isn’t it like objectively in your best interest to exaggerate?

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

You're not the only listing their height with shoes on, you can relax

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

All men lie about their height. I do to for a variety of purposes

If you want to find a shallow female partner, you can do so. I for myself gave up uppon this topic and enjoy my incel days of peace and quiet.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

If we go off of what people say 5’10 and 5’11 men are much rarer than 6’

Don’t hate the player hate the game

He gets it

I mean respect and more power to you if you’re comfortable

Lying to who? A girl you just want to bang?
Sure why not, if you don't give a shit about her, she'll most likely lie to you as well about other shit.

Everybody lies most of the time on these dating apps anyway.

Why bother using dating apps 😭.
Try interacting with women irl.

It’s not just a dating app thing.

I grew up my entire life thinking my dad was 6’3

When I told my uncle my dad was 6’3 last year he literally burst out laughing 😭

I’ll never forget lmao, my dad was like 6’1.5 this whole ass time

Lying is the key to a successful relationship

"Yes babe, I think you're more attractive than LeBron"

This is a bit harsh, I think the right phrasing is “exaggerating a little bit helps get your foot in the door.”

It’s the same with job applications funnily enough.

"Yes babe, I think you're more attractive than LeBron"

You tell girls you’re into LeBron?

 

[Moegara]

I don't think whether lying is good or bad should be decided based on whether you get caught or not, so as a norm I just don't lie at all unless I'm forced to, and a date doesn't force me to (a job might).

I also do not like going for casual flings even if I'm open to them when I'm single, so I find it's all the more reason not to lie to a woman I'm interested in.

There's also that I would probably lose interest in pursuing something serious with a woman who would reject me over being a couple cm shorter than their idealized man, and I agree they wouldn't even notice the lie unless they're close to it themselves. It's different if you're a smurf, I guess.

I'm 182 cm so I'm probably just above what those kinds of women set the bar at.

Anyway, arrête d'être une salope complexée.

Edit: Corrected the unit of measurement lmao

Telling the truth and being honest is important to a healthy relationship but a few white lies can really help. It's unfortunate but just how things are. Though I always differentiate the average and healthy relationship because in an average, people lie all the time

Nah they just always get suspicious after seeing my bed:

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 ?
