So, a girl, asked me how tall I am..

[tesla8520]

Hi everyone.
It's not the first time a girl has asked me how tall I am.

And I always answer confidently, "172cm."

A friend of mine, however, told me that they do it simply to test me, not to find out my height, and that I should answer things like, "I'm 1 meter tall, and that's enough," or "the last time they measured me, the tape measure broke," or something like that.

Actually, it seems very insecure to me that I have to make up jokes every time rather than simply tell the truth, answering the question.

I'm just like that.


This height thing is just one example, but to give you an idea: I always respond fairly confidently to women, whether it's logical or humorous.
If women read the "undertone" rather than the words themselves, then what's said to them doesn't matter.


Btw, later, the girl shortly said, "You look very comfortable, you seem very relaxed," to which I replied, "You think so? Well, I think it's normal, we're all like that, right?!" To which she replies, "Yes, we're all like that."

If a woman comes straight out of the blocks asking about your height its likely she's been single for a long time and is using the height requirement as a dealbreaker.

the height thing became a bit of an obsession for women around 2018 it was mainly born from female influencers and reality tv stars , women have a very strong herd mentality and this one took off really quickly

can remember being in a relationship and my GF's single friend who was about 5ft 3 was demanding a 6ft + guy at a minimum

Neither of us could work out why a woman that small need to date someone with such a massive difference in height.

I believe it has now become some somewhat of a status symbol for insecure women to be partnered with a man who is much much taller than her

The problem is men at 183CM + are outliers and tend to be in very very short supply within local dating markets and theres just not enough of them to go around

Your average frumpy HB 6 swipe app woman cannot in any way compete with a HB 8 gym bunny for these types of guys

But we live in a world where every woman who's single has been convinced by social media she has the right to a man thats substantially taller than her

Ask her how big her t!ts are or how much she weighs.

I agree with most of things you said except this. It was obsession way way before that.

I'm not young and I remember it was important when I was 6 years old. I knew that I didn't get at least 6'1, my dating life would be over. I knew this at 6 years old. I did everything I could to get tall and it didn't work.

This.

If she's that rude double down and do as Duke suggests, lol.

SMH.

Or does ask "Does it really matter?" like you do not give a flying fvck.

And yes my husband is tall, but my first husband is 5' 10" and I dated men around 5'8" or 5'9" in the past. Its a nice to have, and means I can wear tall sexy platforms & not feel I'm towering over him, but I've never had height as end all be all. Too much other stuff is more important.

At the end of a first date I walked a girl to her car and she asked me how tall I was. I told her I was the exact same height I put on my dating profile and she went on to tell me how she preferred taller guys. I couldn't resist telling her "that's fine, I completely understand as I prefer women with C or D cups." Her sagging flap jacks might have made B-cups in a push up bra while standing on her head.

She told me how rude that was, I just smiled and told her good night.

Usually I try to reply with something funny and tease them, but when there is no point then throw their schitt back at them.

Always been a thing yea but I can't remember it being as. much of big of a deal during my teen years and early 20's

In my teens I can recall several times pulling chicks that were fairly taller than me

I don't even remember Height being listed as criteria on tinder in the early years of the app

Somewhere in the 2010's it started going viral and getting some real cultural attention all over the world mainly from reality tv and social media

It went ridiculous for a few years bit I think the obsession is starting to cool slightly now

Mainly because men are long past the point of caring and some women have began accepting they cannot find unlimited sources of " tall " men so theres no point constantly going on about it.

Most people end up dating what they can get rather than what they actually want.

"Ten inches lying down" and she can interpret that however she wants

 

[Mike32ct]

I would say, “My ex dumped me when she found out I was only 5 foot 12.”

 

[plumber]

just filter out any woman that wants a guy taller than you are. they are going to get that one way or another.....

ok for short time, no LTR.

in fact filter out any that really want anything that is not you.

otherwise just lie or avoid to get to the next step for short time....

if your less than 6' and she ask if your 6' in a way that shows she wants that. you immediately uncheck the LTR potential and chuckle about. it. she will be someone else's pain in the a...

@tesla8520 She couldn't discern such a thing with her own eyeballs, first time she spied you?

 

[BackInTheGame78]

"Tall enough to see the top of your head", said with a smirk.

 

[BillyPilgrim]

If you happen to be 5 foot 9, you can always say "69" (as in 69 inches). If she still tries to say you're short, remind her it's "a lot of inches". Lolz

The point is, he asked, and I simply answered confidently.
I didn't show any insecurity or nervousness.

I think it was just a test to gauge the emotionality of my response, which was actually very calm.

I'll think of some jokes for next time.
