datingnoob93 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I read somewhere that the average guy inflates his height by 2 inches. So 5'10 becomes 6'0, and consequently most listed 6 footers are fake. But if you are a legit 6'0 or taller, shouldn't you also add 2 inches to differentiate yourself from the fake 6'0's ?? So 6'0 becomes 6'2. What do you guys think ??
shet Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 What? I'm 6 foot and say 6 foot. What the **** are you meant to do when you turn up shorter than you said? Like, in 3 seconds of the first time you meet they know not only that you're shorter than you said, but that you're insecure, a liar, and stupid to boot. 6
mysteryscape Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I'm 6 feet and some extra inches. I list my height exactly as what it is. Why shouldn't I? Any taller than I really am and I'm taller than most women want. And when they see that I'm exactly as tall as I say, they might get the idea that I can be trusted. And they better be too!
Andy_K Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I list my height as 5'11, but barefoot I'm really only 5'10 and 3/4. Do you think anyone notices?
SomeDude16 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 6'4 and I say I'm 6'4. Don't really expect anyone to verify my height with a tape measure. 1
sillyanswer Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I list my actual barefoot height. I'll stand out head and shoulders above the liars on the first date, so no need to embellish this in my profile. 1
Tonic Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Id suggest you list your correct height incase she is a crazy b#tch and brings a tape measure. Would be in a bit of a pickle then 1
PogoStick Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I'm 6'2, but that might be including my shoes. Am I supposed to list my height with or without my shoes? I'm so fked! Should I stand up straighter and try to elongate my spine to look taller? /sarcasm
Gloria25 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Look, in my experiences with OLD, it's usually the guys "under" 6' that lie about their actual height. So, yeah, 5'7" will become 5'10".... Look, I prefer you don't lie. Besides, after you take a look at their pics, you can probably figure out they're lying.
Andy_K Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 6'4 and I say I'm 6'4. Don't really expect anyone to verify my height with a tape measure. If you're 6'4", they probably can't reach with the tape measure anyway 2
losangelena Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 DON'T add two inches. I dated a guy for a few weeks who did that (add two) and it was pretty obvious. I'm 5'7", and if you're a guy who says he's 5'10" but really 5'8", I'm going to be able to tell pretty quickly. Who cares about differentiating yourself from everyone else OLD. Just be honest about who you are. C'mon, noob, don't be such a noob! 2

kolleamm Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 One thing that pisses me off about my height is that I'm about 5' 7" 0.9 I seriously took the time one day to measure myself to that accuracy, but to this day I won't cheat and put 5' 8"
