Should you lie about your height?
post #1

I read that men should lie about their height on dating sites to increase odds because 75% of women are 5'6 or shorter on these sites. They will likely cancel out a lot of possible meeting or matching because most dating sites do 2inches + taller men than the woman. I am not sure about this and I would like to know if anyone else heard this?

That doesn't seem wise to me and I can't believe ALL dating sites do this. Where did you hear this?

I think most women on these dating sites are on the taller side to begin with because most men prefer shorter women. Does that make sense? Maybe I am wrong but I brosed a few in the past and only like 20% of them are under 5'6.

I am a firm believer that any relationship that starts on a lie is not worth continuing. I would hate to be lied to in the beginning even if it is about height so I wont do it to someone else.

These stories are so obviously fabricated for attention.

How long was your longest relationship and why did you break up?

We talk a lot about the trashy content that rage-baiters put out because it's pitifuly entertaining at this point, but I know a lot of you date. Hell, I date. I may not get as much play as my taller friends, but I've had a few girlfriends and generally do okay meeting women organically. Dating apps are game over however.

On that note, as the title says, how long was your longest relationship, and why did you break up?

Mine was two years and we broke up because our lifestyles were too different. I was into the gym and she lacked ambition. The breakup was amicable.

5'7 man talks about how he had few problems in life

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTBkkJSkgy7/

I think his message is spot on. He's being a bit smug, but essentially, you can tell that his life's focuses helped him come to this mindset. Whether his epiphany at 18 was self-reached or influened by positive members in his circle, this is the way to go.
