Today, I had a date with a guy from the Internet. I'm 6ft1, which tends to put potential dates off, so I'd slyly knocked a few inches off my description. Turns out he'd done the same. He'd added a whole foot to his height. I had to crouch to talk to him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met the guy I've been talking to online for two years in real life. He tried to convince me to have his children because they would be average height. He's a midget and I'm 6'2". This is the most romantic thing anybody has ever said to me. FML
Today, as a 6 ft 8 woman, I never get much attention from men, until today when a guy who was 7 ft 1 approached me at the bar with the chat up line, "Hey little lady, you look about my size, can I buy you a drink?" It worked. I'm such a stereotype, we’re going on a date tomorrow. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop to meet an online date. I couldn't spot him, so he eventually came up and introduced himself. It seems his on-line picture must have been taken before I was born. I spluttered "This isn't going to work," and promptly scuttled out. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, someone thought I was my boyfriend's daughter, instead of his girlfriend. I'm 4'11", he's 6'2", and this has happened four times already. FML
Today, I told my date she'd look hot as a blonde. She replied saying I'd be hot with a few extra inches. Furious, I yelled at her that I couldn't control my height. She replied that she "wasn't referring to my height." FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, my 6'8" russian friend picked me up, a 5'0" petite girl. This would be fine if he hadn't been startled by a moth and dropped me down the stairs. FML
Today, I finally met the guy I've been getting to know online in person for a date. When we saw each other, we both realized that we had heavily Facetuned our profile pictures. The awkward silence that followed was the longest five minutes of my life. FML
Today, I was on a first date. I asked her what she brought to the table since I’m a pretty well established guy. A voice in the booth behind me yelled out, “How bout a booster seat, Smurf!” Everyone laughed so hard I got up and left. I’m 5ft3 and bitches always make it about my height. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ahh the beauty of Internet dating. Well OP, at least you can share the guilt of lying now.

Speaking as a tall guy, I sympathize with girls who are annoyed with short girls that date tall guys. Leave me for a lady with legs!

Well Im in Phoenix and I got a thing for tall girls. I'm 6ft. :-)
klutzyduck1 24
It's your choice whether to date a short girl or a tall girl...so not really a sympathy inducing comment. I'll be nice and not say what it does induce.

Wow! That made me sound like a creep! I was just saying I like tall girls and I noticed you are in AZ. Sorry for sounding like a whackjob.

Sounds like a creeper.

If only people could feel confident enough as to not lie. Unfortunately society has drawn us a picture of what a beautiful man and woman look like, so people try to conform to this.
gc327072 31
Don't get short with him, OP, he was just trying to rise ti the occasion. But don't stoop to his level, either.
spazz666 18
I see what you did there sir!

21 - If runway models are any indication, society says beautiful women should be tall.
CustardAndPie 13
#62, I'm 5'9", and you wouldn't believe how many guys have told me I'm "pretty, but it's a shame you're so tall." or that "I would have dated you if you were shorter". :/ It's one rule for models and another for the rest of us, I'm afraid. OP should look into modelling, though, at 6'1" I bet they'd ******* love her.
mduffy08 8
95 - I think it's more of the fact it's kind of weird for a guy dating a girl taller then him. ...Luckily, god blessed me with height... Bitches...
Mister_Triangle 21
OP got the short end of the stick
taran6 3
I am a 5"5 girl but I've always wished I was taller by a few inches. Id love to have those long legs but #95s comment has made me wonder is it really not so great being tall?
aawweessoommee 9
155- I'm 5'11 and it's really not great being tall. All my friends are shorter than me which makes me feel like a giant. And not being able to wear heels is the worst part. And finding long jeans -_- the hardest. So be thankful for your height. Cause I'd do anything to be your height.
kathuzada 6
That was low
tjv3 10
People should feel that they gotta lie. And what was the guy thinking adding a foot ? Like you aren't going to notice he is 12inches shorter than he is supposed to be. I don't see why you being 6'1" is a bad thing i love tall women!
syley 5
It's online dating, what do you expect?
143dav 8
Obviously not a truthful relationship anymore.
onlychildFTW 34
Can't expect the truth from online.
brittanyayu 1
My husband and I are happily married and met online, so I wouldn't quite knock it yet
syley 5
84) well it does work sometimes but complaining about it is senseless, it's the Internet there are more lies than truth on most dating sites nowadays and complaining wont do a thing about it, next time be honest too op.
eatdemcupcakes 4
Do you wonder if the date got cut short?
patrickalamo 48
I dated a girl 10" teller than me, it was a great time. It is about who you are with...

imperialtl 12
Yes I'm the first post! Well that's what happens when you date online.
greenie213 23
It's like your talking to a little kid!
emeraldisle 30
*you're
greenie213 23
Apostrophes are too much work.
greenie213 23
"youre" looks stupid.
ManInTheMachine 20
You just made yourself look stupid.
greenie213 23
I know. I'm just fooling around cause school is boring as hell.
gc327072 31
Bro same here. Office aide... *snores*
ohSNAPyall 27
"Your talking" can be correct when "talking" is used as a gerund (noun) rather than a verb. In short, quit correcting grammar in instances where the point got across. Even those who understand grammar think that you're annoying when you do this.
walmartpaysme 15
The grammar nazis are starting to annoy me I mean really who cares that I left all the appropriate punctuation marks out of this comment get over it uh oh the ocd is kicking in must resist urge to punctuate
saksxalmo 20
#63 - But that use of talking doesn't really make sense in this context, so it's either incorrect or illogical. To be honest, I'd rather have to deal with people repeatedly correcting others than deal with people repeatedly making the same basic mistakes...

55- Maybe if you paid attention in school, you wouldn't be looking like an idiot right now. Just a thought.
greenie213 23
Dude. I'm a straight A student. That doesn't make it any less boring.

76 - The fact that you work at Wal-mart makes your comment even funnier.
loloalltheway 23
That is the a huge problem for us tall girls.
AKPILOT 3
Problem? Us tall guys love it!
spazz666 18
Some tall guys like really short girls. My ex was 6'3 and only liked short girls. I'm 5'1 in case you're wondering how short
oceanbeauty 17
Tall guys love tall girls but there aren't many tall guys out there. And like spazz said, some like short girls. So it leaves us tall girls looking for a while :-/
Mauskau 36
My bf is short. Well, 5"6 so quite short for a guy his age. I'm 4"11.
ComTlancy 12
I actually prefer taller ladies because at least I don't have to bend down all the time. Being 6" 2 is great!
Grimmerie 31
I'm 5'1" and my girlfriend is half a foot taller than me. Life is very strange sometimes.
BeautyOfGrac3 6
Amen!

I know how you feel, man. I'm 6'2". And my GF is about 6'-6'1".

Congratulations for posting useless opinions. Here's a waffle (>-_-)>(#)

I didn't think he dated women anymore.
sux4u121 10
I never found tall girls to be a turnoff.
Kn0wledge123 21
Me & you both bruh. Im only 5'5 and I stay snatchin up girls taller than me. My current gf is about 5'6 or 5'7. This other chick I use to **** with was 5'8. I even had a chick that was 5'11 get at me. #MidgetMack.
sux4u121 10
Kn0wledge, please get of my comment you Sound like an intolerable douche.
Kn0wledge123 21
I'm actually not. But perhaps I did go overboard. Mia culpa. Failed joke, but I'll probably still get thumbed down for this comment as well.
TurtleSmile 14
Have you considered maybe tall girls find shorter guys a turn-off?
SeedlessMe 13
86- I can attest to that. (sorry guys, but it's true) Maybe it's a little different for me, because I'm only 5'2". but I dated a guy that was shorter than me once and it just didn't feel right. ..He was wearing boots when we met. Lol
syraxthered 5
Normally when faced with this dilemma, dating a tall girl can be a turn off, especially at 5'6" and with a 6'1" it's hard to walk around holding hands. However, with the height difference eye level is roughly right around breast area and thats always a good thing.
HooyoMacaan 7
I never understood why people lie about their description but then go out and meet someone offline....
HooyoMacaan 7
YDI Op. Regardless of how overused/obvious it is, honesty is the best policy. And unless you are trying to lure in innocent victims there is no reason to lie. The guy you meet is going to see how you really look anyways. 6ft1 is very tall for a girl, but one of my friends is 6ft3 and with her confidence she never has trouble finding guys. You don't need someone to validate that you're beautiful or fine the way you are.
walmartpaysme 15
So, what I got out of that comment was that it is okay to lie if you are trying to lure in a victim.
FKJVMMP 17
I'm a bit short on time so I may not be thinking it through, but this looks like a tall story to me. Also, aren't you kind of a hypocrite? I get that a whole foot is a pretty outrageous lie, but you seem to be put off by his small stature, just as many men are with your height.
A7XCamaro 19
It can reach a point when when the difference is just to great, for instance if she needs to crouch down just to talk to him.
