jimbeck Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I've had another meet from old. I've been talking to her for about two weeks. During on online chats I explicitly asked how tall she is and she said 5' 2. Then while talking on the phone she asked my height and I said 5'10 and she said that was good because she like taller guys. I said I said that I didn't consider myself to be tall and she said that because she only 5'2, I was tall. I met her last night and we had a good meet and we are planning on meeting up again soon. The only thing she completely lied about her height. She was at least 5'8. I would've met up with her even she was 6'. What does concern me is that she lied about her height, what else could she have lied about? Why would a female lie about their height? Should that be consider a red flag?

Yeah, this sounds really sketchy. I'd say it's a red flag and something to keep in the back of your mind, but don't automatically disqualify her because of it.

That's bonkers that she would lie about her height, and a six inch difference too. I'm only 5'6, and if I go on a date with a girl expecting her to be 5'2, and she turns out to be 5'8, that's a huge difference.
mightycpa Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Maybe because she's dumb as a post, and doesn't know her own height. Maybe she was wearing elevator shoes, or **** me pumps, and you didn't notice. Maybe she is from a metric country, and got the conversion wrong. You should just ask, without being accusing about it.
Fondue Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 That would be off-putting. Was she wearing heels? Maybe that was it?
oberkeat Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 If you don't care how tall she is, why'd you "explicitly ask"? She probably has no idea how tall she is and just took a guess. If she said she weighed 100 pounds, and showed up weighing 225, I could see that being a problem. This, however, sounds like a non-issue to me.
MissBee Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Just like men do....they think tall is what women want so lie towards the end of having a woman believe they are tall/taller than what they are. Similarly, she may feel like men prefer short, petite women so lied because she felt she would seem more attractive to you by saying so. Both are silly because unless it's only by an inch or 2, it will be pretty obvious that someone 5'8 is in no way 5'2. 1
ja123 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I understand why guys lie about their height, but a woman? That doesn't make sense to me. Did you ask her outright? If not, you should and see what she says.

This, however, sounds like a non-issue to me. The first time I asked is when I was chatting with her and I was asking her trivial questions. The second time when we were on the phone and planning to meet. I wanted a good idea of what she looked like because we were meeting in a crowded area.
SELdeMER Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I'm tall 5'8" and I am a woman. I have been told by men before that I am too tall for them. A few of these men were my height, one guy was over 6' but preferred really short women I guess... Maybe she has been rejected before for being taller than average for a women. Same reason that men lie about height on a profile, because they have been rejected because they were shorter than average for a man. Personally, I find it stupid that people lie like this. I would wonder what else they have lied about.
ComingInHot Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I don't get it. Seems lime a silly thing to lie about when there's the possibility of meeting to find out the person is a liar. Wonder what else that person will lie about?*? Not Cool.
Tayken Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 @OP....You should know by now that a *most* women are hung up on height, and contrary to popular belief, they do indeed spend time thinking about it. The signs are all there, just look at the amount of people that wear high heels that clearly shows discomfort / safety issues. Some have been known to give their height in heels as their official height...ludicrous I know. Funnier, is when a woman who is short is asking for a taller 6ft plus man ?????? There are more important things to worry about in life, and personally it doesn't bother me. I have dated women who slightly towered over me in heels. The relationship wasn't based on height, and once you are horizontal anyway....it's irrelevant
BlueIris Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 That is so strange, I'd ask her. Not in a mean way, but in a "I'm puzzled, why did you?" kind of way. I wonder if she's being rejected for being too tall, or thinks she is. There are men who like very small women, including some very tall men, but I wouldn't think that it was a huge majority. Ask her.

I have no problem with my height EXCEPT when other people judge me by it. (Then actually my problem is with them...)*
heartshaped Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Idk. Men lie about their height all the time. I guess she felt the need to lie because she's a taller woman.
veggirl Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I would have to dump/never date again someone who was so stupid they think they can get away with lying about 6 inches in height. What a weirdo. 1
