How to answer if a girl mentions or asks your height?
1 Post (+1), 4 Cmts (+0)
Hi guys, so I am not the tallest tree in the woods - standing 5"8.
I've had occasions where girls would comment things like "We are the same height" "Why am I taller than you?" or "what is your height?" Or even on their bio say things like "I'm 5"11 so approach accordingly"
What would be your advise on a response to these?
Would be curious to hear some feedback. Thanks

Be honest, but confident. If they’re taller than you they’ll eventually meet you then realize you were lying now the possibility of a relationship blossoming is completely out the window bc of deceit

If you give a joke answer she'll think u dont want to say. If you change the subject she'll think you dont want to say. If you give a non answer like "you'll have to find out" she'll think you dont want to say. And if you tell the truth she might lose interest.
So what do you do? You fucking lie!! Tell her ur 6'1". If she brings it up on ur date just say u dont remember saying that. Or be honest n say u were afraid she wouldnt give u a chance.

Show you care and don’t be reactive
just make a joke, say "midget" or something. I am 5'10" and have dated girls 5'11" and one who said she was 6'
I dont put my height on my profile, also, IRL gaming it is like a non-issue pretty much, only on the apps it matters because she has more options. I've approached tall girls in high heels and they didn't seem to care as long as you dont
Some people exaggerate their height but it might back fire if girl is same height as you and shoes are off. At the end of the day, if she pushes I'd just tell real height. As if she is asking chances are she is tall like 5'10+ and her first impression may fall after meeting you. Thats why I like the joke "midget" and then move on as when she meets up she wont be let down, maybe even surprised and positive you're not 5' midget lol

Tell her, what you lack you in height, you make up in girth.

I'm 5'8 as well

Has specific examples of handling height shit tests.
Through text, I always respond with "5'0 hbu?" after she asks then wait for her to respond and say "I'm fucking with you I'm 5'9".
In person, I had one date with a girl who was 5'10 and she was wearing air forces so she was damn near 6'. Still smashed though. She even whispered while we were walking to me "you're shorter than me" to which I looked at her and said "yea".
I play college basketball and have been short my whole life, especially when the average person I'm used to being around is 6'+ so I guess I've finally gotten to a point where I just don't give a fuck, and you shouldn't either.
My ex-girlfriend was an inch taller than me and 4 years older (18 and 22). I've slept with another 4 girls who were 5'7, 5'7, 5'9, 5'10. I'm not trying to brag, just pointing out that it doesn't matter if you're shorter or younger or anything. If there is a will there is a way.
"We are the same height"
You: "We are."
"Why am I taller than you?"
You: "Genetics I suppose"
"What is your height"
You: "5'0, you" ... "I'm fucking with you, I'm 5'9"
As for girls who put shit in their bio about it, it's the same principle as a girl who puts "No hookups" in her bio. Doesn't mean jack shit.
Hopefully this helped, best of luck.
