Do people ever say they are shorter than they really are? You only ever hear about people lying about being taller!
Being fairly tall myself, I've never felt the need to exaggerate |

In my case it's because you can't specify half inches, so I rounded up. Our relative height came up on one of our first dates, and having been independently verified as the taller, I refused to put us down at being the same height when we joined here.

They did a study of online dating sites and it found most women lie about their age and most men lie about their height. Obviously that mush carry over to here. Never really understood it though, what exactly do they expect to happen on a meet, it's a bit hard to hide lol |

"Next you will be saying they lie about their age too  "
Yes, that too.
For security reasons obviously we didn't put our *actual* birthdays on here. So shortly I will be visible for 7 days longer than I otherwise should be...

See most women have the whole 'if it don't start in 6, don't bother'. I'm the other way. If it starts in a 6 I have a wee freak out. There's many a looker on tinder been swiped no as they are 6'4.

I'm tall dark and handsome. ....If your under 5ft 2".
I'm not intimidated by meeting a taller woman, infant i think it's weird that woman like to be next to a tall woman but men mostly prefer the opposite??
Getting knocked back because of my height isn't an issue, I can't grow. Simple as that. I would never lie about it.  |

I like a guy taller than me. So mainly look for 5 10 and above. Even at 5 10 they seem barely taller than me. It's a big disappointment. If a guy says he's 5 8 and telling truth then that's fine. Just hate liars

I don't know how much I weigh, I don't know what my waist measurement is. My shoe size seems to fluctuate and by height... I'm not entirely sure about that either.
I do know that my dad is 6ft tall and I'm a couple inches shorter than him.

I am 8 foot tall and have a metre long cock
;) no lie
But with no precenceptions or expectations people generally take me as they find me or they don't.
Had plenty of half truths / outright lies heard on here too.
Bottom line is the actual meet face to face.
All good? Then lets take it to the next level.. Not to your expectations? Lets leave it there, thank you. Simples.
Yes it can be a pain, but remember, Fab IS blind date till you confirm for yourself that the words on the screen are actually coming from a person who has painted a picture.
Make sure that picture matches.

Op. expect people to lie on a profile. That should be a given. Untill you get to know them and have some sort of trust, Expect them to lie.
I don't lie, that's the truth.

I've met one guy who stated he was 5'10 on his profile, the reality was he was shorter than me when he stood up to say goodbye!
I was debating whether to pat him on the head goodbye |

Some lass actually verified me as tall. Apparently they expected me to be shorter despite displaying my height in my profile.
What cynical people there are out there! |

I think I've shrunk, I used to be 5' 10", I've been measured again recently for varying reasons and I'm now 5' 8" wtf
Am I shrinking or are these rulers broken?? Maybe those 2" have made their way somewhere else  |

I try not to get hung up on it. I'm 5'10 and I wear heels. If I get all "oh you must be taller than me when I'm in heels" then I'd miss out on a huge amount of people and fun! I tend not to check that in their profile out of anything other than interest.
Although I still haven't had a meet where they're in my cleavage when we're both stood up.... |

No.. apparently they received many grant applications that year and do you know what won? "Forum sarcasm and low wit: attractive or not?"

There are a lot of men who are genuinely deluded about their height as well. I've met plenty who've sworn blind everyone has always told them they're 6', or 6'2 but I make them stand back to back with me and they clearly aren't. I think it's men who have really short mams who tell them they're really tall, but actually they're not. |
