Is it okay to lie about your height in online dating?

Edit Post

Unfortunately, tall men (6' and up) are gods in online dating  because a lot of girls/women who don't think things through, filter to "6' and above",  instantly excluding 75% of the population  (height is usually one of, if not the only quantifiable criteria on many sites, so the mechanics of the sites favor tall guys, although many 5' 11" guys list as 6')

 Because so many girls filter to 6' and up, and even those who don't filter probably prefer 6' and up, there are probably 3-1 girls/guys for 6 footers in online dating.

Don't sweat it though. As I said, that's the way online dating is set up. If it asked, "small boobs or big boobs?", most guys would select big.

Don't lie about your height and further feed into the superficiality of online dating. After all, don't you want to filter out hightest women?

You can add up to 5 inches like this guy https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/68/eb/fc/68ebfcdf5f1bec60f1b19f089aa311b5.jpg

I'm 5'6' and I usually say I'm 5'7".  I met a girl recently who is 5'.  She said height was really important to her and asked several times before we met if I was really 5'7".  She didn't say anything about height until the night I met her, after I slept with her.  She said we would have short children.   You can lie about an inch but not much beyond that because that pisses them off and they wonder what else you are lying about.

Short women are the WORST when it comes to this. I kinda understand sometimes why they do it...they're insecure about their own height, and if THEY don't like being short...they must know how horrible it is for a guy to be short. They don't want to pass this on to their future kids, so they shoot for tall men. I had a short ex who used to say a lot "we'd have short children." I couldn't get upset or she'd know my height insecurity, so I usually laughed it off, or tried to gently reassure her that I had tall uncles/cousins (as did she), so there was hope.

I used to add an inch when I did online dating. I only got caught when I went out with four women who were between 5'7 and 5'8. One definitely cared, one I screwed up, one I hated when I met her in person (horrible personality) and one I ended up dating for a while (and she was hot, too). They all messaged/winked at me. So the risk with lying is that when you get up to the taller-ish girls who don't care as much about height, if they reach out to you and you want to date them, they will be able to tell you were lying.

This is my experience as a girl, I'm just over 5.1, if I go the m atrimonial sites I normally put 5.3 however if there a guy that I really like and he's requirement is 5.4 than I will go back and change it to 5.4 which I know is wrong, the thing is I'm a model, obviously not a catwalk , but for makeup artists, or for photographers who just want to build their portfolio  just for the face, or for college students who are doing photography etc and what has happened is when I  have met these guys from the matrimonial sites after they've met me and seen my face they don't care about the fact that I added  2.5 inches to my height, so for those have who are really handsome has it ever happened to you that when you lied about your height but the girls think you're really handsome they have overlooked your height
