I’m on basically every dating site out there & height really never crossed my mind as something someone would lie about, especially that you can, for the most part, tell if someone is short. On Friday, Tinder tweeted an announcement on Friday about a new height verification feature.  Quote, "It's come to our attention that most of you 5-foot-10ers out there are actually 5-foot-6. The charade must stop."   They say you need to submit a picture of yourself standing next to, quote, "any commercial building." Then they'll verify how tall you are based on that building's measurements. And if they find you really are as tall as you say you are, you'll get a "height verified" badge on your account.  The lying stops here, people!
