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?

That's too bad I can't believe people tell tall tales like that

I can relate, I'm only 5'8 but I'm in heels all the time which can bring me up to 6'2. I like Latinos and they tend to be on the short side soooo. Yeah.

Me and my boyfriend are quite short too, ha. My bf is 5'7" and I'm 5'6". At least we feel short with our friends, who are all about 6'.

I once met a guy online who was 5 feet tall, and bitched about how no one would date him because he was 5 feet tall. I chose not to meet him in person, and it had nothing to do with his height. It had EVERYTHING to do with the fact that he didn't stop bitching about how no one would love him because of it. Guess what turned me off? NOT the height.

I'm 5'4 and my husband is 6'5. I think most tall guys like dating short girls, unfortunately. Being tall has made them "special" their entire life and with a short girl that feature is made more obvious.

I don't feel so awkward now about dating a guy who's 6'3" when I'm 5'4".

I wish I was a little taller.... I've stopped growing, and I'm barely 5ft2. :/

I feel your pain...I'm 6'0"! sucks that you both lied :/ be honest and I'm sure tall guys will find you!

If your 6'1" and you say your 5'9" or something, that's one thing thing, but say your 5'3" and you claim to be 6'3",that's entirely different. I'd be more put off that he made such an obvious lie.
