This is how I imagine Rob expected the conversation to go:

Rob: "you seem like you're more into partying than relationships"

Her: "That used to be true, until I had a look at you 5'7-in-heels hunk of a man"

Rob: "wanna come over to my parent's house? 😉😉 I'm living with them but only for practical purposes"

/nEdit: to the comments criticizing her for attacking rob's height, I don't think she's being malicious about male height in general. I imagine the point of her response is to show Rob how shitty it feels to be judged entirely by your looks.

Also (imo), she's moreso mocking how he is insecure about himself so he lies about his height. Not an actual criticism of his height

And I'm sorry to anyone offended who lives with their parents. I live with my parents too. It really is the practical decision!

Nothing wrong with 5’7 height, it’s the 5’7” attitude, I’m sure you don’t have a 5’7” attitude x

What's the 5'7 attitude? Asking for a friend.

In guys, it’s the attitude that they have to be extra masculine to “make up” for being less than average height. This usually comes off as gratingly cocky and insecure at the same time.

I always knew this is as short man syndrome.

And your comment seems devoid of whiskey syntax.

I dunno. Proper capitalization AND punctuation in a reddit post? They have to be drunk.
