View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
THIS. My roommate is exactly 6ft tall, and isn’t attracted to shorter men. The sheer number of men she’s been out with who SAID they were 6ft and turned out to be 5’10 or less is APPALLING!! They ALLLLLL lead with a lie, and worse? Truly believed their personalities would win her over!! CLOWNS!!!

My theory is that this is akin to people posting photos of their younger selves in dating apps: they try to create a chance to go through a first date with the hope that they will charm the other person despite the discrepancy.

Yeah, I've never understood the lying myself. It makes us look bad! I'm straightforward about being 5'11" and think it's hilarious that I missed the cut by like a quarter inch 😆
