My dating life predates online apps, but when I met my wife, I told her I was 5'8" (in-person, so it's not like I could really lie). Anyways, I might just be 5'8" with cowboy boots and perfect posture (and these days, I'm secure enough to admit I'm just 5'7"). She wasted no time in calling me on it. She's 5'4", so average height for a woman. We still joke about it today (20 years after that first date). But, wow, the audacity to claim a 3"+ difference? That's ballsy.
