I don't really see the point in this... if you were really short and said you were really tall wouldn't it be kind of obvious if you then met face to face. In fact if you were having that conversation face to face I'd kind of hope that it would be obvious too.

This is another one of those where there has been a culture of making people self-concious about their size. If you're really really tall or really really short, what difference does it make to who you are?

I'm 5'6"-- never lied about this.

Nope, I'm 5'10 1/2" lmao!

I'm sure more people then you think are probably off by an inch or two when they tell someone their height. Thats no big deal. Not sure why you would lie purposely about your height tho. Thats just stupid lol.

5' 7"

Its plainly obv i'm tall. I dont lie to the best of my knowledge.

You can't hide 5 feet....

5'4"

Well I'm five feet four and a three quarters inches tall. For a girl this is a typical hight. I really don't care how tall I am.

A clothing catelogue I saw once, from what I can recall, listed 5'3" to 5'6" as "average".  I am on the lowest end of that.  If you want, you can do the math. :-)

I am just a hair under 5'6. I always wanted to be taller, but I've never felt the need to lie about my height.

I'm 5 foot 5 and a half. And I'm ok with it. It's not too tall and not too short.

UPDATE: The first time I rated this item I must not have paid close attention to the rating system. I don't lie about my height, but plenty of people do.

From my experience, it's easy for talll people to lie about their height in person. If you are 6'2" and you say you are 6'5" to someone who is under, 5'6", they will probably believe you. I knew a girl who was about 5'0" who thought that I was close to 7'0" (I'm only about 6'4", maybe 6'5" at most), because some guy who was about 6'1" told her that he was 6'4". I find that I'm taller than a significant amount of people who claim to be 6'6". 

Why would anyone lie about that?

lol umm 5'11'' i think i still am? lol

5'8"

Nope, 5'4 1/2" and proud of it

why would anyone lie about that? i don't get it.

no need to

I think that's more of a guy thing.

That is a really stupid thing to lie about...I hate being short but I am who I am.

I was measured to be 5'7 so thats what I tell people I am.Why would I lie about my height anyways..I like my height.Im as tall as the average man and I can reach alot more than woman of average height or short men!lol

who cares?

I don't know how tall I am so I can't lie about it.

I don't know about this one. I have never heard anyone lie about their height unless they truly did not know and they were just guessing

Height is more of a guy thing...just like weight is usually of more concern to women.  I started out at 5' 6.5" and have shrunk about an inch over the years (they tell me it starts in your 30's).  I don't really care that much and see no reason to lie about it.  I figure if I live to be really old I'll be able to socialize with Leprechans - and I here they're quite the partiers.

I'm anywhere between 6' and 6'8", depending on which convenient store I'm in.

Why lie?  You are what you are. I'm 6'2", dark hair, tanned, blue eyes, and 205 lbs of solid muscle. I do not know why people must lie all the time. I'm extremely wealthy, drive a nice car, live in a beach front home and own my own multi billion-dollar business. I’m just me!

(OK, maybe I haven’t been totally honest here)

I know I'm 5'8", but why is everybody my height claiming 5'9" or 5'10"? Hmm...

UPDATE: Women are allowed the "In heels" exception. The same exception may soon be applied to drag queens.

I can honestly say I'm 6'4" and it can be a real drag. I hate hitting my head on overheads and having been in the forces a marker for drill is NO fun!!! Height on the other hand is very helpful when it comes to reaching things and seeing things over a crowd!!! I guess I'm happy with my height, I wouldnt be me, if I was not this height!!!

I started out at 6' 2" but as you get older, you start to shrink. That is no joke. My dad is in his 90's. He once was about 5' 11" but is considerably shorter now. That is not much to look forward to, is it?

My buddy's wife, Denise, who is about 5' 2" and very selfconscious about her height, once told my wife and I that her doctor told her "She was tall for her height". Huh??

If you want to impress people, it only works on the web. I'm 6'5," with afro 6'9" ...

How can you lie about your height if you are standing next to the person???? I'm 5'6". (I think....last time I checked.)

I'm 5'8 ,i don't lie and that is sufficent for me.

I totally agree with JR1, I am also 5'10" and never lie about it, this is a great height, not too short and not too tall, funnily I am taller than most of peoples I meet on the street and when I meet someone over the internet half of the time he (even she) will be taller than me lol, weird isn't it? they don't know their height they only presume and since 80% of peoples lie well it gives a half right answer... like 5'6" becomes 5'10". Many peoples lie about it and I don't know why either, weight matters MUCH more than height.

Well I don't lie about my height, I'm 5'10" and I am really happy to be (just a bit taller than the average), but 80% of peoples DO lie over the internet, if we were believing them the average height wouldn't be 5'9" (which is a fact since 2001) it would be 6'2" lol, in real life it is impossible to lie about it unless you wear elevator shoes and good luck when a girl or boy sees you barefoot... What I find funny is when I walk outside in public (US and Canada) I am usually taller than 80% of the boys and girls and on the internet I am below 50%... a lot of height liars in this world you say? and I will never understand them.

it would be hard to lie if you knew that person would see you in person. I guess in cyberspace there could be people who may lie about their height. I do not care how tall people think I am 5'5".I suppose if someone wished they could be a different height and knew someone would never see them, they could fib about their height.

I'm 4'11". As embarassing as that is, do you honestly think I'm making it up?

When I played HS basketball I was listed as 6'5". . .my wife is laughing, really. . .

To be honest I don't know my exact height so if I lie about it, its not intentional. I know Im in the vicinity of 5'4"

6' 7..(5'5)

I didn't do it on purpose! I honestly thought I was almost 5'2; it's not my fault I'm barely 5'0! :-)
