to think if that woman in the Volkswagon ad was so conscious about her height

[HollyMiamiFLA]

She should have checked the height of her dates before hand. Rather than facing the disappointment of smaller dates.

Assuming they don't lie.

[HollyMiamiFLA]

Exactly. Carry the umbrella. Don't let the man do everything for you. Wear flats. I can just see the advert pitch now. We've got a tall woman who can't find a date. She also is incapable of carrying umbrellas or checking heights. A lone female voice is heard complaining but the advertising executives ignore her.

(but I know it's an advert.)

Men are all 5'10" or over 6 foot. There's quite a range in where I come up to on these 5'10" men though...

[MymbleBaratheonBendsTheKnee]

I like it (am 5ft 10). Men lie about their height. I am self conscious about my height sometimes - but I find flat shoes frumpy (on a date anyway)!

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

Haven't seen commercial but IME all men lie about their height. (except the actually tall ones...who never know how tall they are They're 5'8 or 5'9...so tell me I must be OVER 6 ft...because they are 6ft. No you really aren;t

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

I don't lie about my height. But then again I'm sensibly sized.

pigsDOfly - thank you so much!

[LaGuardia]

The thing is, if you are paying attention, you will see when she is sitting in the car, it is a later date. Different hairstyle, different clothes. The ending is they obviously got on and are sharing time together in the car. Jeez, it ain't that difficult

[velvetspoon]

Men ALL lie about their height.

I'm 5ft 6, so not that tall, although I do have a thing for 4-5inch heels . Most dates I've had have ended up being shorter than me in heels, some shorter than me WITHOUT heels!

The only bloke I've ever been on a date with who didn't lie about his height was 6ft 5. In fact, he's the only man I've ever dated over 6ft. I attract the short ones.

[WitchWay]

I like the advert! I get the impression men lie about their height a lot, which is daft really - bound to be found out in the end.

Do women do this? Try to appear taller? Or smaller & more petite?

[HollyMiamiFLA]

Didn't Tom Cruise use steps in some of his films?

[DoJo]

Well, RegTheMonkey, according to IMDB, Brendan Gibson is 6'3 so if you do ever meet him we will expect to find out whether that is true or not!

[thedogwakesuptoodamnearly]

My ex claimed to be 5 foot 8 and a half. No chance. 5 foot 6, tops.

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

I'd be surprised witch, probably more likely to lie about weight.

[Backonthefence]

Witch in my experience women tend to lie about weight rather than height.

[pigsDOfly]

Your more than welcome RegTheMonkey and Iklboo. I thought I was the only one.

[pigsDOfly]

Ooops. You're not your.

[RegTheMonkey]

PigsDOfly - I'm 5' 3", so a date with Brendan would be interesting! (I'm too old for him anyway

[DadfromUncle]

As a man who has done some online dating I'd like to confirm I lied about my height. I am 6'4" and lopped a couple of inches off as my sister demonstrated that in spite of having no maximum, she had specified 6' 2" as a max. in her search.

[pigsDOfly]

RegTheMonkey - The height difference need not be a problem, my daughter is the same height as you and her partner is 6' 5".

How old is too old? Some men like an older woman:)
