Brutal HeightPill: 6ft4 dude changes his height from 6ft4 to an average 5ft9 and go's from getting a constant 70 matches to 0.

Women would say: "Its not your height sweetie, its your personality why you're not getting any matches."

 

[itouchyou]

people need to realize that this is only relevant to online dating.

if you're a woman you likely have thousands of matches to choose from, and if you could filter out what you don't want then of course you'll filter it out.

imagine you're a guy that can have sex with any woman you want, of course you're going to filter out the ones with no tits or ass, ones of a specific race, ones with short hair, etc etc.

nothing about this is surprising.

Very well, but why does a 5ft4 > 5ft5 > 5ft6 girl need a 6ft4 guy?

Maybe I can understand a 5ft10 > 5ft11 girl who is in the 99th percentile height for her gender wanting a 6ft3>6ft4 guy who is in the 99th % for his gender, but some 5ft4 girl writing off a 5ft9 guy is being absurd.

And you can't compare it to slim/normal weight guys filtering out fatties and wanting a slim/normal weight girl in their league. Normies often compare this.

because they're delusional and women don't operate in the real world

This works similarly in reverse:

If prime Lucy Hale were on OLD, and all one had to go on was a written description of her(Small of stature. Not especially chesty), she wouldn't have too many mouths watering. Photographic evidence is required

in order to comprehend her charms

Most of us men, even when conventionally handsome, aren't dead ringers for Jacob Elordi. Only way around that = Going out into the wild and pursuing our desires

I put 5' 10" on my profile and had zero issues with matches or dates or lays or whatever I wanted from it.

I put 5'8" on my Tinder profile & did great. I have a good face, but poor height.

Everyone lies so much that when women see five nine, they think you are probably five six. If it says six four, you're at least not short. It's like if dating profiles made a woman list her weight. Are you going to believe what she says, or add 20+ pounds?

 

[BadBoy89]

The kicker to that's guy experiment is the word apps. "Height matters on dating APPS"

Of course its going to matter on dating apps, because woman use their LOGICAL brain. "This is what my brain and society tells me I should want; "6'4, dark, handsome, rich, 6 pack, etc." so I'm going with it. Now if the same woman met a man at a Starbucks or something, and they connected, his height wouldn't matter as long as he is taller than her.

I hate to say this, but men, if you are not at least 6'0, wouldn't go online, you'd be better off meeting women in natural settings. I've gone out with hot women meeting them naturally and I'm not 6'0 at all.

@radiohead

Just be taller bro.

Ps - are you WW?

 

[Gamisch]

It is what it is.

Imagine a woman saying " men like women with double Ds" . It's the same thing. Because yes, men do like that but it doesn't mean that if yiu ding have double D you won't be able to get a man. You can be less tall and still get p00sy.

Some men are nepo baby's. Ofcourse they'll have an advantage. Deal with it.

People are always be acting like everyone is superficial for only caring about external qualities. Women complain about men doing this too.

You CAN'T know someone's personality right away, so what else can you go off of other than things like looks, height, ethnicity, etc. This is just how it works even in person, but a dating app it kind of forces it.

People are going to just write off certain traits in people even though they know that there are probably exceptions they'd make, it's not worth the effort to sift through all the others.

I mean I'm sure a lot of women would date a 5'6 man if he had enough qualities she was looking for. Likewise some men would probably be willing to date a chubby girl if she was exceptional in other areas.

All that said, I resent how dating apps don't make woman put in their weight or body type, in fact as far as I know, it's usually not even an option in the first place! They just HAVE to make the apps completely one sided and gynocentric, as if women don't have enough leverage in the dating market as it is. You have to basically be a PI to be able to tell if they're fat or not. One of my friends is so good at it he can tell just from a face pic.

Its simple. Because if women listed their weight these dating apps would lose most of their female and male audience/ user base. They put the needs of women first. Its a business incentive to make you 'pay up' to see more profiles of normal-weighted or slim average looking women... or hot women (though hot women are rare on most apps).

There used to be a weight-filter on POF i remember it (around 2006?), but most women abused it. Fat women listed their bodytype as "average" (which means healthy BMI), which annoyed the guys.

Virtually all men who are healthy and average looking, thin/skinny etc would select women under 150/140lbs. Same with the Chads and tall handsome guys. Hardly any man wants a fatty (lets be honest) but most American/British/Anglosphere are fat (70% of them!) and online its probably higher.

Another reason is that slim/healthy weight average men get a LOW ELO score (swiped on less), where as slim healthy weight average women get a HIGH ELO score (swiped on a lot/tons). What this means is that healthy weight men -- due to their low ELO -- get shown profiles of women with LOW ELO scores, which is always the fat/obese/ugly chicks. Likewise, the slim average looking women get a HIGH ELO so are shown the guys with HIGH ELO scores whom are the Chads/tall attractive men/top 10%. Its a form of digital eugenics when you think about it. These apps are trying to get average healthy weight men to go on dates with disgusting pigs.

If there was a weight filter, Fat women would only be matched to the bottom % of men or their looksmatches (fat/ugly dudes) - which would make them frustrated/angry (hypergamy), even though that's their dating cohort.

My earliest spell on tinder.. which IIRC was 2017 ish, I dont think i listed my height (5'4) but..I remember making a slight reference to it playfully. But matches..I did alright numbers wise and quality wise. or sure didn't feel like it wad a big thing.. last few times on there and Bumble, I've been pretty much invisible.. gone full circle in a few years. And thats with the height listed.. its ****, and does test your resolve and confidence receptors..
But apps will be apps.. water is wet.

Because she knows that her son needs to be 6' to have any decent chance in having children.

I get 4-5 matches per day on Hinge.

When I was active, I was getting 4-5 matches per YEAR.

I agree with your worldview. Women don't care about height as much as being turned off by the insecurity of it bothering the guy so much. I'm six two and a long time ago my wife left me for a series of short Indian guys named Raj. She said they were all good dancers.
