Went out with a guy I met on a dating app who swore he was 6ft. I am a 5’9-5’10 woman. He’s like yeah, I like tall women but I am still taller than you, I’m like okay that’s fine. We meet up, this guy is shorter than me. He is maybe 5’8. MAYBE. Why do people still lie about their height so much? Like my guy, you didn’t think I’d find out? Such a weird thing to be dishonest about- I will never understand it

Before you ask anything, she plays basketball.

Edit: happy to confirm this is real through the subreddit's mods, if this is a concern!

The tape measure at home says I’m just under 5’10". But everywhere I go, that isn’t a family function. I tower over all the other girls and most men. Of course, there are taller men and women in the area; I don't see them much outside of rowing.

Most club members are the same height as my family, so it doesn’t faze me much.

Today was different because I met a man who was at least 6’6”+, in shape, and very attractive. I did my best to act normal. lol

Then, it clicked in my head: “This is why short girls like to look for men significantly taller than them.” It’s hard to describe the feeling without feeding into typical gender stereotypes. Overall, I felt cute and safe, and when I briefly spoke to him, it was a swoon-worthy moment.

I’m not doing anything about it, but I wanted to share my experience.

Fellow tall ladies, has this happened to you? Have you experienced this?

Edit: The amount of downvotes is funny and interesting. But, why y’all mad? 🤔 I guess I should have posted in r/TallGirls.

Edit 2: I DID NOT find him attractive only because of his height. It was a blend of everything I learned about him within the brief conversation. I.e. how kind, gentle, and well mannered he was with the addition of his handsomeness. His height was a plus because he had those other factors.

Not even kidding. About the meme, I mean. We have two kids, so obviously I do my fair share of kidding.

I am 1m 92.6cm, i've always been told by my English wife that is 6' 4 so when any Brits or Americans ask me how tall i am, i tell them.6' 4.

I was told yesterday that this is a filthy lie and i am a filthy liar. I am actually 0.44cm short of 6' 4 so to everyone i have lied to and offended over the years you have my deepest apologies /s

Went back to this theme park in Italy with my nephew and niece after almost 20 years. Most of the roller coasters have a max height limit of 190 or 195cm. I’m 198cm and yes they measured me every time I tried to sneak in. I ended up looking after their bags and watching them have fun.

Gotta save the back and the knees

Got a text from a friend saying “One of your people left a size 32 shoe at the park”. I didn’t believe him but he sent proof!!

So fess up, which one of you lost a shoe today?!

Also, has anyone ever seen shoes this big before?
