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 consider a man who had a cup size preference to be worth dating personally.

If that’s all they are interested in, why not. Again, it saves everybody’s time.

Although they might be disappointed. I’m a FF which sounds huge, but a 28FF really isn’t that big at all.

Key Countries for Tallest Men
Netherlands: Dutch men have the highest average height in the world and in Europe.
Montenegro: Men from Montenegro are also among the tallest in Europe.
Estonia: Estonian men are another country with exceptionally tall average male heights.
Nordic and Baltic Regions: Countries in these regions have tall populations.
Central Europe and former Yugoslavia: These regions also have men among the tallest in the world and Europe.

So, then it is in both your best interests that he stated he did have a preference.

Is it okay to have a preference not to date men if they have preference for big or small boobs?

Everyone has some sort of preference though. It's not in itself wrong to be picky, it's how you go about it. Can't force attraction.

oh gosh how many times i need to repeat i dont need 6' guy. Just someone my height 5'6 or taller.
Do women really need to emigrate from this country for men to stop misrepresenting themselves on dating apps?

But are you genuinely saying if you met someone who was handsome, funny, attractive, good job, rich, nice person with the same values as you, who was perfect in every way but was 5'5 you would turn him down in favour of someone 5'8 who was less attractive, poor, horrible etc?

I mean, if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. Seems very strange to me though, and a way to minimise your own happiness

I just remember back in the days before online dating was a thing, you’d hear people in long term relationships saying “I didn’t think he was my type to start with, but he grew on me”. Those relationships would never have got off the ground these days. Online dating is like booking a holiday cottage, you tick all the features you want. So romantic.

I would turn him down because it is not fair to settle on anyone. If I am not sexually attracted to a man but keep seeing him for his other qualities it is settling. Not fair neither on me nor on him.
i would nt turned him down in favour of 2nd imaginary guy. Would turn down that one as well. Thankfully this world has more than 2 single men

would you be geniuly happy with someone you are not sexually attracted? Where going to a bed with him would be a chore?

I wouldn't want to be with someone I wasn't attracted too, but I'm not sure a 1 inch difference in height would make much difference if everything else was good, same with 5kg overweight etc.

there are lots of single men in the world. Lots of single women too, some of whom will be taller and attractive than you 🤷‍♀️

It is sad true. You don’t have opportunity to grow on someone while OLD.

this is also driven by men behaviour who are trying to escalate physical stuff as soon as first date. I had men kept touching me on a first date, trying to kiss when I showed them no sign of interest in escalating physical stuff. For me it is like dude I know you like for 30 minutes you are stranger, I don’t want strangers to touch me even in a non sexual way. Leave my arm alone

1 inch makes only difference if it makes a guy shorter than you. 5’8 or 5’7 I don’t care.

i think it is you who said who married a guy over 6’3 not 5’3. Of course totally accidentally. I mean come on

of course there are. Except that I am truthful about my height and all my pics are within last year. If they are not attracted thats absolutely fine with me. I am not gonna pretend to be a model to attract a guy who is into models only

This is a pointless anecdote but the most attractive man Ive ever met is a 5' 6" engineer who comes to our workplace a few times a year. every time, all the women just gaze at him in awe. He looks like a cross between Brad Pit and Charlie Hunnam. He's quite well built and muscular too without being OTT. The added bonus is that he's charming and intelligent too. So I think short men can be favoured in the dating pool IF they have other desirable attributes to offer.

Tom Hardy is 5'9, Cillian Murphy is 5'7!

My husband is 6'1, yes. My first boyfriend who I loved was 5'8 though (I'm 5'9)

i found that as a taller woman taller men seemed to go for me more, and short men seemed less interested for whatever presumably wanting a partner shorter than them. And most of the tall men I know want taller partners, that's why I was saying it's ridiculous all women going for the over 6 foot men.

You are attracted to who you are attracted to, not trying to for e you into anything g. Just make sure it actually is attraction, bot you wanting to meet society expectations on having a partner who is tall or x taller than you, as you might miss out on something really special

I don’t think internet dating is for you OP - you are taking it far too seriously

So basically they have to be twice as good looking, and even an average looking tall man will do better?

But you still began a relationship with him?

It’s a blatant lie, men do it all the time and it’s just ridiculous.How would you feel, if you’d arranged a date, the man who was supposedly 5ft 10, but was actually 5ft 5! I’d wonder what else are they embellishing! For goodness sake.

Some do personally I’d dont mind short men but as I’ve said but the issue is lying. I am 5ft 2 then the man turned up more or less the same height as me when be claimed he was 5ft 7. Again the issue is lying - it’s quite simple!

Also shorter men may look for shorter women but also tall men do too. My ex who was 6ft 2 said he didn’t go for tall women. And no I don’t think we looked ridiculous together.

I even know taller women with shorter men and they don’t look ridiculous to me either although it’s more unusual so may catch my eye for a second or two.

Yes but the issue seems to be that short women are setting their filters to tey and get men who are at least 5'8, despite being 5'1 themselves

No, not necessarily! I don’t and have never used tinder but on the other dating apps I used if there was a height filter I wasn’t aware and certainly didn’t use it.

I did not filter for height but once matched with someone and before we met of course I’d look over their profile again and see their details. If a man says he’s 170cm I am expecting him to be a few inches taller than me.

And in my situation this particular man had the nerve to say if a woman was completely different from what she represented he would leave the date because it was “gained by deception”. His words - so he needs to live up to his own standards.

And I’ll add that I’ve also dated two men under 5ft 4. One was my height (5ft 2), one slightly taller.

I met both pre-online dating apps.

I saw them as they were and found them attractive.

However had I met them online and they lied they were 5ft 7+ it would’ve annoyed me.

So to ram it home one more time in case it isn’t clear then (for many of us) THE ISSUE IS THE LYING.

The concept itself isn't so new though. Matchmakers, dating agencies, consensually arranged marriages (not forced marriages, more in terms of introductions with a view to finding a life partner)... That's hardly "romantic" but it can be very practical. Online dating is different because of the "shopping" mentality and misrepresentation, but the idea of a service where you can go to say "I'm looking to find a partner, do you know anyone who seems compatible?" isn’t new at all.

I presume you are not wearing make up in any of your pictures?
