Gaslighting: Table for 3

take her swimming on the first date? nah, bring a measuring tape on the first date🤦🏻‍♀️

Idk why they keep insisting women can't tell the difference between 5'10 and 6'? If we can differentiate periwinkle from lavender, and eggshell from ivory, we can notice when something is 2 inches off lmao.

I know what a 6' guy is supposed to feel like compared to my height.

I am tall, and this in no way would work, bc I’m used to men lying about their height. And 5’10 is basically the height guys use at 5’8 😂😂, but I always know bc of their height relative to mine. 🙄😆

Cross post from r/Tinder - I’m 6’ - ask me how many times I’ve met guys from OLD and it turns out they’re shorter than they say in their profile... it’s hard to gaslight a female, who is herself 6’. I remember multiple conversations of “i don’t believe you’re 6’” —> “wow, you really ARE 6’+!” I’ve even, unfortunately, dated men who spent the entire relationship telling me I wasn’t, in fact, as tall as I said I was, despite government identification telling them so. Also- it shouldn’t really matter that I’m 6’.

Edit: Why the fuck do they think any woman would fall for this? The only ones that let guys get away with this BS are already choosing to ignore other red flags (as I used to be a pickme, I’m also speaking from personal experience.)

I’m also happy to include another piece of the pie: the men who told me that they prefer I DON’T wear heels... even though I personally love how confident they make me feel & I stopped wearing uncomfortable shoes years ago- so the ones I do wear are comfortable, I’m not wearing them standing or walking for hours, and I still don’t give a fuck what men think when it comes to them. Can you imagine if men suddenly decided to get their pickme girls/wives to shave their heads because they were insecure about going bald, and then trying to gaslight the rest of society? (Might sound extreme, and yet... )

LVM really think we're this dumb.

Elegant-Stop · 2020-07-29T14:53:55+00:00

I may not be tall, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to distinguish between 5’10 and 6’. I’ve had a guy lie on their profile and I wish I had called him out

Just goes to show men will put in unceasing effort for girls they actually are into.

Also gross at the straight up disrespect of her boundaries.

denverkris · 2020-07-29T16:27:30+00:00

"she won't date anyone below 6'"

that sounds like some shit i would say when I'm just not interested in your stupid ass, and I'm trying to come up with some bs that you won't try to waste my time arguing with. Just no motherfucka. No.

I am 5'10 and guys are constantly telling me they are 6 foot PLUS. If I go on a first date and they turn out to be lying, which they often are, I simply pretend I am in the wrong place and walk off in the opposite direction. I walked into a cafe once (back in my pickmesha days) and saw this tiny dude sat behind a table, vaguely resembling the pictures I saw of him on bumble. Even sat down, you could tell he was miniature. Like literally child sized. I imagine his tiny little legs to not be touching the floor, when on his profile he said he was 5'11. I know because as I queued for my coffee, I checked his profile again, to make sure I wasn't insane. Anyway, I ordered my drink to take away and left, while smiling at him as I walked out.

Do.not.waste.my.time.bro.

What? If you keep going down an inch with every dude that's around her, she's going to notice.

button-up · 2020-07-30T02:12:53+00:00

I thought I was 5’8”-5’10 because guys literally commented on my height so often and told me how tall I was. I was in my 20’s when I got my driver’s licence and they actually measured my height, surprise surprise, I am 5’6”.

Dudes my height and shorter were telling me I must be 5’10” until I was measured and could confidently tell them, nope, 5’6”. And it wasn’t just the short ones inflating my height. Amazing how many guys will try to convince you they’re 6’ before you have a frame of reference.

didumakethetea · 2020-07-29T14:27:17+00:00

This wouldn't work on me because I'm only 5ft7 but all the rest of my family are tall. My mum is 5ft10 so if you're shorter than my mum you're out lmao

certifiedcatfish · 2020-07-29T18:13:00+00:00

Please tell me Edith is 5'9", that would be priceless. 😂

PmMeYourFountainPens · 2020-07-29T19:22:08+00:00

Back when I still used the garbage dump that is OLD, I put my height in my profile. I did this so that weak manlets would pass on me if they were intimidated by my height. I have no problem with shorter men. I have a problem with liars though.

This LVM had his profile say he was 6’1 and when I walked into the restaurant to meet him, I instantly knew he wasn’t 6’1. My mother is 5’6 and I’m familiar enough with her height to know HE was 5’6. I felt awkward about confronting such a bold lie so I finished the dinner date with him. But later I made up an excuse about having to move away and I blocked him. Even in rejecting men I feel the need to be careful. He saw my car and who knows if he’s crazy enough to stalk and kill me.

In the future if I see someone lie right off the bat, I will RUN out of there and speed off in my car. There is no reason for him to lie like that. LOL as if I wouldn’t recognize 7 inches...

sheuvvie · 2020-07-29T21:53:50+00:00

this is hysterical

redfarmmmmm · 2020-07-29T18:23:02+00:00

Its always 100% north American guys that slyly about their height.

advicethrowawayyys · 2020-07-29T18:20:47+00:00

They think we can’t tell lmfao.

Unable_Caterpillar · 2020-07-29T18:21:46+00:00

Well I know I’m 5’5” and my heels are 6”. You’re not fooling anyone dude 🙄

potaytotomahto · 2020-07-29T18:57:12+00:00

The guy obviously has more problem than desperately trying to gaslight his way into being 6FT.

Genuinely curious how that worked out for him...

kalidestroy · 2020-07-31T07:43:30+00:00

I'm 5'10, and so many guys have told me there's no way I'm that tall, I must be 5'8 or something. I'm fucking 5'10 and I know you're not 6' like you claim, cause you're shorter than me, dumb fuck.

sisterofnarcissus · 2020-07-29T14:53:28+00:00

It’s not gaslighting. Please let’s not abuse a fucking important and serious term. What you see here is just plain scheming and lying
