Really? That happened to me, too -- the system messed up by a couple of years.

Once I dated a guy I met professionally (he was one of my referral docs) and he was taller than me (5'7"). But I was curious, so I asked him how tall he was. "Tall enough," he said.

I had better hopes, and I ignored his appearance as I wasn't so attracted to the photos, but figured what the hey, and he tore me to shreds! Oh, well hey, back to the drawing board. thanks all
That's the best when you make a conscious effort to overlook several superficial things about the other person which you don't necessarily care for, but they nitpick at you.

same reason women lie about their weight- they are insecure, and people can be judgemental.
Darn it, scarlet13, I was gonna say that!

I don't understand why people lie about things that can easily be discovered. That's pretty disturbing. I can understand fudging weight by 5 pounds, or height by an inch...people usually tell these blatant lies out of insecurity, or they just haven't weighed or measured themselves lately and have no idea.

You know, I think if I were a guy and saw your pic like the one here, I might lie about my height as well just to get a date with you
