When you get catfished

Height-fishing is a common phenomenon.

Men assume we're too stupid to notice or don't know what 6 feet tall looks like. It's been happening to short women too.

Men also begrudgingly add "6ft 2 because apparently it's important" to their OLD profiles (it should be enough to just add their true height), but clearly too many lie about it and women are noticing.

I don't know why men do this. I once matched with a former NBA player. His profile said he was 6'7" Google and all of the the player stat sites listed him at 6'6" Even the tall ones lie, even when they don't have to. He also proved himself to be a total perv during our second phone call. Needless to say there was no date. Scrotes.

I got arrested once (I was a stupid teenager, don't ask 😄) and the male officer next to me was writing down my info. We were the same height and he goes, "She's the same height as me, so that's 5'9"." Um, I was definitely NOT 5'9". 5'7" maybe.

So I think sometimes they just have some sort of block where they can't read numbers correctly when it comes to their height.

I've met way too many height-fishes. Everyone I meet always says they're 6ft tall. Listen, why am I always taller than them? I'm 5'11 and 1/2. Just about 6 ft tall with flat ass shoes on and I'm always taller than them lmao!

They always add 2 inches

This was my Saturday! I was like who’s this eeny meeny miney moe silhouette approaching me? 👀 He said he was “5’11” when he was probably 5’5. I didn’t know this level of height-fishing existed. 😭

He also looked different from his pictures, in real life he had a scraggly beard, smaller build, meh face overall 😒 I would like to simply forget this memory 😌
