to report every man who lies about his height on hinge

[PoliteEagle]

i've really had enough of it. Had another hinge date this week where the guy claimed to be 5'8. He was 5'5 at most, more towards 5'4. I reported his profile to hinge for lying about the height. How they expect to build a relationship on lie, I dont get it

I wouldn’t report it personally no but I agree It’s bizarre!

i dated one guy who claimed he was 5ft 7, met him and he was eye level. At most there’s an inch between us. I’m 5ft 1.5

I don’t actually mind short guys but it’s the fact he lied and also the fact before we met he made comments about men who get lied to and catfished. Talk about double standards.

He turned out to be a complete idiot with some narc tendencies anyway.

Life's hard. Stay strong.

You reported him for a few less inches.
Mined you ive met a few women that when they arrive i didnt know who they were without the filters.
Just to add im a bi woman.
Its become a game of mine now called who the hell am i meeting.
Got to see the funny side to things.

i' ve just reported it because they waste people time. I am just not physically attracted to someone shorter and/or smaller than me. I work in a demanding role and i would rather spend the evening relaxing at home than go out with person who i had zero chance to be attracted to.
Just feel if enough women reported for this there would be height-fishing

God almighty, all the women whose photos don’t reflect their actual faces or weight 🤨

Most people on these apps lie to get their foot in the door.

Reporting his profile is ridiculous.

Yeah a guy said he was 6’1 on his profile and when I met him he was about an inch taller than me. I’m 5’2. I don’t really care about height but he had a note on his profile saying he can’t stand filtered photos or liars. Bit rich really.

Would you also report all the ancient photos and heavily filtered pics?

There are plenty of men and women who are unrecognisable off screen.

Haha I wouldn't report but im sick of the ive got a dad bod and a 10 year old photo then a morbidly obese man walks in. Oh the height too. One guy said he was 5ft 11. Im 5ft 5 and he was the same height. How do they think people wont notice.

My boyfriend of 18 months lied in his. I wanted someone who wasn't going to get snippy if I was taller than them in heels. As it is I'm taller than him in heels, but he knows not to complain, if he was as advertised we wouldn't have a problem.

Yep! I arrived on a date a few years ago with one guy and looked down on the top of his head. He must have been 5’4” and not the 5’11” he said. Total waste of my time. They should be reported. And also everyone who uses filters.

Yes, if I meet them and they are nothing like their photo I will report their profile as a catfish.

Where do you stop though - men lie about age too. And women lie too.

Just remember you are doing this to find someone, not to police the internet.

These sites know people use old photos and filters, you don't want them suspending your profile because you report every other date and complaints aren't upheld

Yeah it’s the hypocrisy for me. Men demanding women not to catfish them or wear too much makeup /filters in pics while lying about their height by 5+ inches.

I don’t understand people who have pictures that are unrecognisable to their present self either. Like what is the purpose of it - surely they realise the person will notice when they meet them?

Luckily all the men I’ve met have more or less looked like themselves facially and even height wise have been accurate on their profile except that one man.

I have full body pictures that show me as slightly heavier than I am now, just because I haven’t taken any recent full body pics that I like and I’ve lost weight this year .

So if anything I’ve had a couple of men say my pics are nice but that I look “even better” irl. I suspect it’s because I’m a bit slimmer than they expected. So yeah the trick is to look worse in your pics 😂

Lying about anything like that is weird, but I wouldn't say warrants being reported. To me it isn't much different to people using old photos, filters, angles that hide how big they are etc

You didn't fancy someone you went on a date with. It isn't that big a deal.

The last man I met lied about his age, then "corrected" it to another lie. He also lied about what he was looking for. He didn't lie about his height, probably only because he was quite tall.

I spotted someone I'd met at a party on a website and he'd added a good three or four inches.

So what about when women lie about weight, hair colour, wear heaps of make up so they can try and lie about their age, don't mention they have children

If the intention is to meet the person that you are messaging, what is the point of lying? Such blatant lies will reveal themselves very quickly upon first date.

Ive met a few of them.

WTF. What is this obsession with height? It really doesn't reflect well on women

the same dishonesty; should be reported as well. re not mentioning children = when this section in profile is not filled - I would ask. But if they have kids and put on their profile that they dont - it is outright lie and I would report for that as well.
The reason why people get burnt out from dating it because of the volume of ppl they need to meet. I would have met probably half of guys had they been truthful... I ghosted them straight after date. If a guy was a truthful i never ghost, just say no match etc but if they misrepresented it is straight ghost. Started reporting them on top of that as well. Especially when it happens on Breeze app, where I need to pay 10 quid for each date. But even on Hinge, my time is also valuable i (or other women) should not waste it on liars.

It is not obsession. I am not physically attracted to a guy shorted than me. In a same way as I am not attracted to a guy who weighs less than me. Biology.

Whether it’s height or anything else - weight, general looks, job, whatever - I automatically not interested in someone who has lied.

I don’t really mind someone who is fairly short, but the lying would then put me off.

I did meet someone who was both much shorter than they said (which was unfortunate as we’d have been the same height at the height he stated) and also his job. He’d basically put his hobby down as his job to make him sound more interesting. Where’s the future in that? He was also tighter than a duck’s arse - I was happy to buy the first drink, but I do expect one bought back, not for someone to nurse a single drink forever to get out of buying one.

The problem with mentioning you have children, is that it can make you vulnerable to attracting a wrong ‘un.

Im not on online dating any more but this is a concern - you’d like to think you could weed these types out at the messaging stage but you may not be able to.

Someone said they were 6ft and actually 5.5 when I met them. And they also omitted to say they had a partner until we were on a date.
