Hahaha! Welcome to the faked reality. Please allow me to recount my story.
I contacted this person who described herself to have the look of a beautiful
actress. She listed herself as 5'2" and having a very cute figure [I don't
remember]. She however demanded a SWM with the measurements of an athelete
[5'10" - 6'2" "the taller the better", quote]. I was stunned; that's a foot
difference in height! So I wrote her to tell her that I really dig her figure
I'm very athletic (marathon, etc) but I fail in 2 of her demands [height
and race (btw she's an Asian like me]. I asked her why she's so short and
wants a man so tall and wished her good luck. I never expected her to
respond [I failed in 2 categories!]. But she did! She tried to explain to
me that she *used to be* 5'2" and now she's upto 5'4" [a 2" growth over
a couple of months!!] and she also said height doesn't matter as long
as I'm taller than her. Of course I'm taller than her. But I couldn't take
that kind of BS misrepresentation. So I hinted that in my reply and got
my smart ass chewed off!

That was my very first time trying to get a date via the cyber medium
and I'm still licking that wound hoping it heals soon. :-(

Can people be more up-front?
