She Left A Date With A Guy Early Because He Lied About His Height And She’s Asking The Internet If That Was Too Dramatic
A 27-year-old woman recently went out on a date with a guy she met on Tinder. Now, she’s 5 feet 2 inches, and that’s important for this story because her date told her when they were talking that he’s 5 feet 6 inches.
She and this guy were talking for a while before they decided to meet up and go on a date.
“I was really excited for this date because to be honest, I could see a potential even though we’ve only been chatting through text,” she explained.
“Imagine my disappointment when I had arrived for the dinner and movie date to find out that he was in fact a bit shorter than me?”
“I was literally standing over him and I am 5’2″ and I am only wearing short boot wedges. I was kind of freaking out a little bit by the fact that he had lied about his actual height.”
She knows he was lying about his height because she has a few friends that actually are 5’6″ that are taller than her and this guy just was not.
She really doesn’t care about how tall a guy is, how much he weighs, or about other physical things like that; but she does care when people lie to her.
She wound up leaving her date early and decided to discuss what had happened with her friends, who thought she should confront him over text about lying about how tall he is.
“Time and time again, he would still insist that he is 5’6″ even though that is not the case,” she said.

“I eventually just stopped talking to him and just blocked him from everything because I cannot stand a liar and I would’ve hoped that he would just admit that he had lied.”
Several of her friends think that she is being overly dramatic, and also are of the opinion this shouldn’t have been a dealbreaker for her.
She truly is left wondering if she is being dramatic when the real issue here for her is the initial lying and the fact that this guy kept on going with the lie.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“If he’s perfectly okay with lying about something so simple, then he’s probably also okay with lying in general. You cannot trust a liar, you cannot build a relationship without trust.”
“Perhaps he is really 5’6” when he is also wearing his boots with wedges?”
“Not saying I agree with the short guy, but at the same time, I guess I can kinda see why he’d be embarrassed to reveal their height.”
“Same happened to me. Guy told me he was over 6’ but was actually about 5’2. But I’m almost 6’. Bad times. I looked like I’d brought my child to a bar. What’s the point in lying about it?”
“If he would lie about something so obvious, what else would he lie about?”
“That stated, he can’t help the height and it’s probably a sensitive topic for him. He might even get pretty defensive about it. If he confronts you – stress it is the lie, not the height that upset you.”
“There is a social stigma around men’s height…”
“You’re nicer than I am, I went on a date from a dating app I’m a 5’3 fuller-figured curvy woman. His profile said 5’10 he was in fact 4’11 and I looked like a mom taking their kid out to eat.”
“I said I could do drinks but something came up so I couldn’t do dinner.”
“I deleted him from the app and was happy I stuck to my rule of not giving my number out before the first date.”
“If it was because he was shorter than you, I’d probably say you were a bit shallow – but not wanting to date someone who lied to you, and then doubled down on the lie when confronted is a sensible, intelligent move.”
“Might be unpopular, but it was your first date, a lot of people would say you should be able to end it for whatever reason.”
“The fact that he kept insisting afterward and didn’t even admit anything stands out, too.”
“I was going to meet a guy off tinder years ago and he said he was 6’ when I said I’m 5’9, but he got weird and creepy so I canceled.”
“Ran into him on the road one day and he came up to my shoulder. I get being a little off the measurement but I just don’t get such an extreme go at it.”
“Possibly they tried being honest and it got them nowhere, so they figured they’d risk reactions like this one in the hope that once they’d got a date they’d be able to charm their way out of the lie.”
“Obviously not a wise or moral strategy but one driven by desperation. Sad really.”
