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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

WHY do people lie about their height ??? the moment you come face to face ( or NOT) you're going to know and it is just awkward .... like HEY I wish I had kNOWN you were only 5'4 I wouldn't have worn the heels !

Everyone lies a little bit. I tried online dating, most girls were 20-40 lbs heavier than their pictures. Or they have only face pics (Myspace angles), and claim their body type to be "normal", or even "athletic". It's annoying when the girl is 7 inches shorter than me and 50 pounds heavier. I like how easy online dating is, but almost everyone who is on there is on there for a reason. Me it's because I don't get to meet many girls, and am too nervous to approach girls. But it seems most girls are on there because they weigh too much for a canoe to support. I'm not that shallow, but when meeting you I find you misrepresented your weight by that much and that's the first thing I find out about you, it's a little annoying. I've never gone on a second date with any of the girls I've met on a dating site. I don't meet many girls in my life (most are either my friends or girlfriends of my friends), but when I do they go much better.

About a year ago I was arranging a date with this really tall girl I met on a dating website. She told me that she lied about her height to make her an inch shorter to be less intimidating. I told her that I'd lied making me an inch taller. So I went from two inches taller to her to the same height as her. Not a big deal, but I found it hilarious how we both lied by an inch.
