I met with a guy whose profile said he was 5’10. I’m 5’5. When I approached the table at the bar, he barely gets up and gives me an awkward sorority-squatting half side hug. I was wearing thin soled shoes and could immediately tell he’s my height or maybe an inch taller.
Conversation was also mediocre at best so after grabbing a drink each, we got our bill, which we split, and said our goodbyes.
I get maybe adding an inch or two, but to say you’re 5’10 when you’re maybe 5’6 at best.. what’s the point? It’s not even the height that’s at issue, but I don’t really want to date someone that’s started on a lie and it’s a waste of both our time and money.
