I bet you have. Many men lie about their height. Take it from a barefoot 6'1 who has met men claiming to be 6'1, 6'2 and even 6'3.
Ain't that the truth... I'm solidly 6'1, bordering 6'2 at this point (hooray posture!) and when I did online dating I met up with plenty of guys who swore up and down they were 6'4 or taller but were shorter than me when they met. I really don't care (and I had an addendum at the end of my profile stating that I DON'T CARE HOW TALL A GUY IS) but the lying was irritating. I mean, did they really think they could lie and add an extra 5" to their height and nobody would be the wiser?
The OP is 5'7, and he's complaining??! 5'7" isn't short. It's close to average. 5'7" is a perfect height for guys, imo. I can't believe someone's getting all bent out of shape about being "short" at 5'7"! I call foul, the OP is trolling.
People are crazy. They just look for things to feel sorry for themselves about. Weird.

I don't think he is trolling about being single though. Pity.

Sounds like trolling. I'm 5'6" and past elementary school antics I've never encountered a situation where it was held against me. Then again I never tried out for the Globetrotters. Just something that I've never really focused on. But I can imagine myself in another persons shoe's who may have faced it.
I appreciate the sentiment, but having a person on the internet say they would date me isn't quite the same as being perpetually single for most of my adult life. And I do get positive attention, but it's from guys who say rude things about my chest or offer to 'take me home'. I do ignore the ones that I'm not attracted to though...but they're usually homeless, FAR older than me or just generally undesirable (drug dealers, thugs, ex cons etc.).
You may not mind a larger woman but most of the men I've met prefer short women, and the taller a woman is the thinner she has to be to compensate for it.
Fair enough. Just take it as a compliment from a real person (despite just being a person on the internet).
I only read the first and last pages of responses. I'm 5'4", late hubby was 5'5". I just want someone who can reach the top shelf in the cupboard for me but not be too tall either. 5'8", 5'9" would probably be the upper end of my preference scale.
