Integrity in Dating: Internet Dating Bios – All the Single Men Online Are Tall
Studies demonstrate that taller men sell better than men of shorter stature. However, unless you are sales man, whatever your height is as single man, you can find the perfect mate for you and lasting love, whatever your proportions.
So that means, in your online dating profile, for goodness sakes, just like you are not to lie about your age, not even fudge it by a year or so, also with your height, tell the truth about how tall you are in your Internet Dating Personals Ads.
An interesting and revealing study conducted by OkCupid shows that in reality, the majority of single men will fib about their real height in their internet dating profiles. OKCupid’s study predicts that the halo effect is about 2 inches of his height. So, single ladies, be a bit forewarned to read and react to his cited height stature with a little bit of a grain of salt. If he saying he is 6 feet 4 inches tall, perhaps he is 6 feet 1 inch tall or only 5 feet 11 inches.
Single gals? Just do not fall in love with him and his reported height and the complete package of him imagined in your mind until after you have actually had the chance to meet him offline in person face to face in the real world (ITRW) for that first date meeting date. Once the two of you have met in person, then you know at least all of the physical truth.
Well, pretty much you will know the physical reality and the truth. Because perhaps you thought that it was only ladies who wore wore high heels, yes? Nope. You would be incorrect and mistaken. Because in reality, some men will wear shoes which have lifts in them. Just like ladies who were very high heels will after a few hours start to walk with a slight limp or change to her walking gait, so men who were lifts in their shoes will demonstrate the truth of the situation by starting to limp a touch after wearing lifts for a whole evening.
Why are men lying about their height in their online dating profiles? Single women still have a romantic dream that their ideal life partner man will be over 6 feet tall. When in reality, perchance the man who is just perfect for her might be just 5 feet 8 inches tall. However, if she sets her Internet Dating Site Search criteria to only search and select very tall men as her potential mate matches, then she will completely miss out of meeting the very man who could be the man of her dreams.
Still, lying in your dating profile is a core and fundamental problem when what you are searching for is a serious long last love relationship. Rounding up or down 1/2 of an inch is one thing. Adding inches to your height is another. When you show up being a different height than what your dating profile ad purported you to be, she will know completely that you were lying to her and prompt her mind to just start to wonder and contemplate where else did you lie and fib about who and what you. Clearly you are the not the man you advertised yourself to be online.
When you are seeking a serious romantic relationship online, it is best to tell the truth about yourself in your Internet Dating Profile.

October 24, 2011 at 6:36 PMUnless a man is prepared to remain seated throughout the date, and in fact the entire relationship, this is going to be pretty noticeale. I mean, a woman usually knows her own height, and if a guy says in his profile he is the same when in fact he is two inches shorter, do you think she will notice????I guess the guys big question is “will she care?”She might not have cared about the height, but she will care about the….lie.

October 24, 2011 at 7:07 PMHi April ~
I had to chuckle a bit … guys wearing lifts, almost to vainfully funny! It’s kinda sad that people would base a relationship on such a shallow criteria such as height, but hey, to each his/her own. I recall articles you’ve written previously and wonder if this is just another sign of someone to immature for a real relationship or just dating immaturity?

October 24, 2011 at 7:40 PMAs your other posts have so beautifully pointed out, honesty is definitely the best policy. If things work out, the other person is going to meet you at some point in time and the truth will then be revealed.
If you lie about little things, what in the world are you going to do with the big things. To me, a solid relationship is built on trust. If honesty is absent, so too will trust be.

October 24, 2011 at 8:52 PMIt’s so funny that guys would lie about their height! It’s also kind of sad that some women would filter out guys that are a couple of inches shorter than their “perfect” man.

October 24, 2011 at 8:56 PMThat is really bizarre that people would lie about their height even when they know they’ll be caught in their lie as soon as they meet someone. Are they counting on spontaneous amnesia at every first date?

October 24, 2011 at 11:02 PMI hadn’t realised height was perceived to be so important!
In my experience, my short girlfriends always ended up with the really tall guys, and us tall girls got the shorter guys – that used to really annoy me, but as with everything else, as you get older, you realise there are more important things to worry about!

October 25, 2011 at 1:49 PMPeople lie a lot about other physical aspects, why do you think they do that if they know that they will meet in real anyway?

October 25, 2011 at 5:34 PMYou know as I read these post about how people fudge the truth (and some out right deceive) on their profiles I realize how superficial we are and how many lonely people are out there – thank goodness there are experts like you, April, who can guide them on the correct way to find romance.

October 28, 2011 at 2:15 AMIt would make things a lot easier for singles out there if people just told the truth… but, we know that won’t happen anytime soon.
