Provider height (how much padding is ok?)

[polysome]

I´m a vers bottom with a height of 175-178cm and, as one might expect, when looking for a top - I typically go for someone my height or taller. It comes with the expectation of wanting to be "dominated" although for a hotter guy (height is not the exclusive factor to "top energy"), I may go as low as 170cm - but I find that 167cm is already too short for me, for a top.

I´m hiring mostly in Europe and I´ve been observing that most providers list themselves as taller than they are (at least 1-2 inches). It just becomes obvious when you meet in person and suddenly I have to lower my head to kiss Mr. 180cm. And on at least one occasion, I definitely met a 180cm who was way shorter than me (maybe hitting my 170cm mark) and more effeminate than his photos would lead you to believe - at which point you just say, fine let´s see if I can top and he can bottom.

Curious what your stats are on this? How much number padding do you see? And how much number padding is ok?

I actually don’t worry about height too much.  To me it’s only noticeable if we’re standing, perhaps kissing, and when we’re blowing one another.

Interesting perspective from Europe. My experience in the US is that height descriptions on RM are mostly accurate.

I’ve seen other measures exaggerated but never height
