It's over for 6'cels

https://old.reddit.com/r/datingoverthirty/comments/1b6j9pb/how_many_women_assume_men_are_lying_about_height/

IME the height inflation happens more in the (real) 5'8-5'11 height range, bumping themselves up to 5'10-6'.

Be honest about your height. A lot of us care so much more about dishonesty than we do height.

Source: a very tall woman.

As a woman almost every date I've ever had over the last 2 years has lied about their height. Please don't.

I am convinced that nearly every man who claims to be 6 feet tall is lying.

Those who are 5'10 or 5'11 round up to 6 feet. Guys who are actually 6 feet (to the extent they really exist, I'm not convinced) say that they are 6'1 in order to avoid people thinking they're lying.

Honestly, I've seen guys lie about their height up to 4 inches.

I'm starting to think height inflation also includes guys who have lied to themselves for SO LONG that they forgot it was a lie, and a few relationships, apps, and profiles later add an additional two inches to the original lie. There's absolutely no other plausible explanation for how I, a 5'8” woman, am the same height as nearly every 6'0” guy I go on a date with.

It's hysterical at this point

Now think logical how come those women that saying don't lie about height ended up going on date with all those “6'” guys :surejan:

I'm 5'6”. I've had men who say they're 6' be my height.

I get that they're trying to get higher numbers by putting the 6' number, but I find it to be so cringy I just can't move forward, it's hilarious so I can't take them seriously.

I block them on my way home lol

Bro women care about personality

After I posted I realized my statement came from a self selecting group. Guys willing to shoot their shot with a super tall lady. The height inflating shorter guys may have just been not on my radar at all because they didn't send me likes. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah guys lying about their height to be with tall woman

Short hole: I need a tall guy because then shildren won't be short

Tall hole (they consider them self tall when they are 5'6+): I am tall I need tall guy

Medium hole: I need tall guy so I can wear high heels

I'm a 5'6 guy and I never lie about my height. Even though I'm considered short now, I figure I'll have to meet someone in real life one day, so there's no reason to lie. Plus, I'm awesome! 😏😎

One day…

Dude is bad learner

So here moral is, if you 6' say you are 6'2 or foid will assume u 5'6

We need to swap height to the metric system to take pity on manlets because women set some psychotic arbitrary cutoff at 13% of the population. 5'11" is barely any different, especially considering they're still vastly taller than the average woman, but as soon as you give them a filter, they immediately lock into their mind that it can't be below 6' tall.

The metric system is much more granular in its presentation which makes it less obvious to women setting arbitrary cutoffs. The average male height being 5'9" is unacceptable in a woman's mind, but 175 cm barely sounds any different than 180 cm. Even if they set 180 cm as the new cutoff, you would be saving 5'11" manlets which increases the dating pool from 13% of the population to 23%. Its also easier for a 178 cm guy to fudge the numbers as 180 cm which could round the dating market out to 36% of the population falling within a "viable" spectrum.

Local landwhale asking for 185cm guys because the foid is tall (170cm)

Also I think in reality less than 13% men are taller than 6' as you see most height is self reposted and often when it's measured it's in shit way.

For example locally average height of men is 6'1 and my mom is 5'10,5 so that will mean most men are taller than my mom but in reality most are shorter.

Foids also lying about height like I matched with one girl she was 165 (my cut off is 165cm because I don't feel comfy with shorter girls) talking with her her height went from 165 cm to 162cm then to 160cm and ended in 155cm. She added to her self 10cm
