I don't lie about my height..

People think I'm taller than I claim to be....

Oh, that's another one They tend to measure themselves while wearing boots with thick soles. I'm a tad over 6'1 barefoot, add even a pair of flip flops and I'm around 6'2 or so.

Misleading pics = MySpace angles.

I'm not photogenic at all (my designer pals are terribly frustrated by this when they take photos of me for work - they keep going "but you looked great when we took the picture!"), so most guys are pretty happy when they meet me in person. Something to be said for keeping expectations low!

A photo adds 10 lbs. so when they see you, people will say oh she's not as fat as I thought. Lol

See, I think it's the opposite with me.... I don't think many men quite realize how big I am. It doesn't quite come across in pictures.

Any real man will tell you it's just more to squeeze and bite and kiss :-)

Most men don't want a woman bigger than they are, and statistically I'm bigger than most men.

Wait - I'm a little over 179cm, which works out to be 5ft 10.5. What should I put down?
