Dating app question: i’m 5’10.5, currently i put 5’11, will it be wrong if i put 6’0? I dont feel like im 6ft, but because dudes are know to add 2inches, 5’11 became that gray zone that noone believes, or it seems that way to me. What do ladies think? 5’11 in my case or 6’0?

It would be lying. Just keep it at 5’11

Why do you want to put 6’0? To beat the filters? Do you want to meet up with a woman shallow enough to put her filter min at 6’0? Most women can kinda tell 5’10 vs 6’0. But most women wouldn’t have an issue dating a guy that’s 5’10. That’s above average US height. What’s more attractive than height though, is confidence.

You’re right. I thought maybe my profile was just getting glossed over because of 5’11. Now thinking about, not that many women have those filters since its paid subscription.

Lying is an instant turn-off. I went on a date with a girl whose profile said she was 5'-7", but she was probably 5'-10" or 5'-11". I don't care that she's tall, but it's off-putting that she lied. Granted, that's a much bigger discrepancy than what you're talking about, but still. Just be honest.

I think you should stick with 5’11 especially because you are closer to 5’10 than to 6’, so if you lie it will be more obvious and some women will be turned off by that immediately.

Are you not having luck with your actual height so far?

It would be super obvious you’re lying if she has siblings and friends that are actually 6 feet and then you just look like a liar/insecure and the attraction will decrease if not be gone

I’m 5’10.66” according to my last doctor visit but my driver’s license says 5’10” so I go with 5’10” on dating apps.

Mine says 5’11, so i guess im not lying, legally speaking.

How would you feel about women posting old photos of themselves on the app and then showing up to the date 10-15 lbs heavier? Same concept.

I like this analogy, tho 10-15 weight wouldnt surprise me, its within the margin of error with online dating. If i got catfished, say with 40lb or with age, then yes itd be weird, thankfully it never happened.

Personally, I wouldn’t go another date with you solely based on the fact that you were dishonest, even if the first date were to go well.

I’m 5’11” and never had a problem on the apps. Met my wife on Hinge and now we have 3 kids. I’d look at the rest of your profile, and also look at yourself in the mirror to make sure there isn’t anything you can change about yourself.

Keep it at 5’11

I would say keep it at your actual height to rule out the women who must day someone who is 6ft. I feel like that is so stupid. Girls be like 5’2 and need someone 6 ft lol. And I’m a girl 🤣 I feel like women like that are generally high maintenance so save yourself the trouble.

Definitely just say 5’11”

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??
