Jackets Over Puddles
Her: If I may be so bold, may I ask how tall you are?
Him: May I be so bold as to ask how much you weigh?
That actually happened. While clever, it wasn't funny and it didn't get him anywhere with me but deleted.
His height is important to her. Why? Because when she dances with you, she may not want to be looking down. When she's bigger, she feel less feminine and we all want to feel feminine around a man.
However, some women like short men. I actually met one. Three-inch difference. But, no judgment. Height differentials in either direction may not be a factor for some, but it is to me.
More importantly, no matter how much a woman annoys you, no matter how much she makes you tilt your head in bewilderment, no matter how much she irritates you, it's more important to be nice than anything else. Chivalry is not dead. I've been around men who exercise kindness in all situations and they're sexy beyond belief, not to mention respect-worthy.
Asking a man his height when he deliberately omits it from his profile isn't an unreasonable thing to do. For all he knows, I might prefer men under my height. In this scenario, he not only showed his insecurity, but his rudeness and inability to communicate. Three strikes all in one sentence.
At least he's efficient.
When faced with an uncomfortable inquiry, don't answer! You're not obligated to give any answer unless she's a cop. But you might consider practicing asking the question, "Why do you want to know?" It'll help you avoid lashing out.
I used to require 6'1", but now I"m down to 5'11". I'm lowering my standards. lol
What I'm not into is lying. If he lies about his height, it's over before it began.
