A cautionary tale - The one time I tried to date a woman who clearly stated on her profile that she wasn't interested in men like me
A long time ago, back in the days when I still did online dating, I saw a lovely lady on a dating site. There was just one problem, she was 5'10", and she stated in her profile that would be suitors must be 6'2'' or more.
Having seen the most common complaints from ladies about online dating experiences, I was well aware that many men were reportedly lying online about their height, by adding 2'' to the height that they really were. Armed with this knowledge I thought, no problem, I may be only 6', but it's a genuine 6', so I'll still be taller than her.
So I sent her a message, telling her that I really was 6', and that I hadn't added 2'' to my online height. Her response was that she couldn't date anyone under 6'2'', or she wouldn't be able to wear high heels.
I didn't ask her why a woman who was already 5'10'' needed high heels. Or point out that even in ballet pumps she already towered over most women and a small proportion of men. Instead, I tried to be helpful, and sent her the URL for a website that showed the height distribution curve for UK men and women. From this URL, it was clearly evident that the 6'2''+ pond she was fishing in was extremely small.
Boom! My response went down like a cup of cold sick! She was not a happy online dater! I didn't get a date with her, and she got fed some unwelcome statistics! The moral of the story is, don't message, don't argue, don't waste time, don't look back, just move on to the next.
