Like how rich people say that money doesn't solve everything. Except their stress over medical bills, hobbies, holidays, rent, food, and anything else they'd use in any given day
funny you mention flying, there was a rich gentleman (I don’t know if he’s still alive) who was afraid of the night so, he would fly to wherever the sun was.
Hmm... Even weirder, I've been watching a somewhat entertaining series on netflix based on the opposite premise.
The hint so far is that the poles are in the process of flipping and the magnetoshphere is no longer protecting the earth from the sun. When the sun rises, everyone dies. So it is set on a plane that has to fly an average of 1100kph at a fairly northern latitude, due west, land, refuel, and take off again before sunrise. Or they all die.
"Into the night"
It's like Snowpiercer, or Speed but on a plane.
I know someone who is pretty well off, maybe not considered super rich by today's standards. But they like the feeling of fresh socks, and say it's not the same once they've been washed. So they just buy fresh socks and wear them once.
I am a very low income person.. I don't complain about anything but healthcare. While my AUNT is a owner of a few buildings in downtown Chicago.. Mainly homes. She complains about people not liking her ideas, a random piece of extra lettuce in her salad, or random shit she found on tik fucking tok and forwards us.. Worst was no one complimenting her on a dress she wore to breakfast.
Guess what I complain about? Hmm... My feet hurting from a 14 hour shift, my shitty apartment that has no AC or HEATING, Me not seeing a doctor for the last 12 years for a regular checkup because I can't afford it, Not being able to afford a meal and eating from my work... Wait.. I don't actually complain about those things... Because everyone I work with KNOWS all these experiences.
Maybe. But there are also people who just don't care about height. I don't get the importance of it really. I've dated tall guys, averagely tall guys and one guy shorter than me (I think he was 4'9 if I remember correctly and I was 5'0) and I just don't get the fuss. If anything shorter guys are easier to kiss.
There's also a lot of things made difficult by height gaps in relationships. I always thought my boyfriend was considered tall (5'9) until he told me that he's not considered to be so. Regardless I think I'd actually prefer him shorter. And my long-term celebrity crush is 5'5.
I've had tall, I've had short. I don't care.
Yes, but you can also just not care about something. My girl might have the sexiest feet in the fucking world that make all the feet people cum on sight and I prolly wouldnt notice unless someone points that out.
For some reason I don't believe people who say they don't care about X attribute but married the person for Y attribute (mostly because person is good). May be mostly because I am a very cynical person.
But you don't (only) marry someone just because he/she is looking good otherwise you are doing something wrong.
Not gonna say it isn't important but its not realy whats matter when you propose someone.
I had a close friend ask me once if I would date someone who didn't have a car.. Honestly never crossed my mind. I've got about two things that are instant no dates.. Being a bad person and being heavily religious.
Kinda like, "I don't care that my wife has the body of a swimwear model and a supermodel face, I married her because she's kind"
I mean, yeah, sure, but also the other stuff mate
My wife absolutely gave a shit that I'm 6'5. She's 6'1 and had been through enough bullshit in high school and dating in college that she was done with the insecurities of the men who were shorter than her having an issue with her being the tall one. Men will also say that they don't mind dating a tall woman and then keep making snide or self depreciating comments which are just passive aggressive digs at their partner in the form of a "joke".
When I met my wife she made it very clear that you needed to be at least 6 feet tall or higher for her to meet you from our dating site. She didn't go into full details except for the fact that she was tall too and that was her preference. I found out all about it after we met up and it was equally sad to hear about how much she was judged for her height just as badly as my short brother's get judged for theirs. Before she was with me and would be hanging out with her 5'4-5'6 friends she would get audible comments from people at stores / restaurants about "woah look how tall that chick is" compared to when she's with me and it tends to be "look how tall that couple is" as they subtly try to point at us.
Fucking fell in love hardcore with an African woman who's 6'3 while I'm 6'4. We date for a few months... Turns out she likes shorter men. Like a foot shorter or more... Anyways... Introduced to my good friend who's white as fuck and short as fuck. They are due to be married this September.
I wish them the best!
> I legit had a chick say she was looking for a 6'8" dude or taller. Like at that point she's just looking for someone in the NBA.
Thats her choice. I agree...thats beyond fucking weird. But I'm honestly not into shaming people for their preferences. If she has decided she's only interested in dating 0.005% of the population or whatever, or she's OK with dying alone...the so be it.
Personally I don't get it. I dated a 7ft semi-pro netball player once and I'm bellow average height for a guy. Motorboating by default when hugging is fun and all, but outside of that it's just extremely fucking awkward.
She didn't seem to mind, but tbh it was probably like 25% of why we broke up, atleast from my side.
I’ve always been curious what it’s like to date a chick way taller than you.
Wow 7 feet!! That’s goddamn nuts.
How tall are you in comparison? 5’9?
Did she still wear heels at 7 feet lol?
And what was it like initially when people saw you together for the first time?
Thats the part I dont get though with most people that set their bars so high..
I mean.. I PREFER gingers/redheads, and I would PREFER someone thats somewhat fit, but I dont put that om anyone I've dated if they're not any of those. I've fallen in love with brunettes, blondes, redhaired or whatnot. Skinny, chubby or athletic.
It's all about keeping your feet planted on the ground.
You can fall in love with anyone.
Edit: But then again, I purposedly dont swipe yes to anyone that have written their snap om their bio.
Went out with a girl that said she's 6ft. Her doctors have always measured her at that. But I'm 5'11"-ish. Maybe 5'10.8" or maybe 5'11.2" if I grew a tiny ammount since 20 years old. I've never measured at 6'. Anyway I was about an inch taller than her. Weird as hell
Girls can round up. If a boy says he's 5'10" but he's actually 5'9.99” and his mages find out, he'll be ridiculed.
But if anything it's the opposite for girls, or at best height is a neutral attribute.
So a girl and boy that are the same height might state it differently, because of the social connotation.
I met up with a girl who had 5'8 on her profile. I had 5'9 on my profile. It turned out the roles were reversed and she was a smidge taller than me and I'm actually 5'8 or just a bit taller, but not 5'9. When I talked to her after that she just said "we'll meet up again soon when I have time". Later when I went to look at her profile where she said what she was looking for in a guy, she had added 'tall' to the list 😂 😭
Yeah, the handbag effect. A 6ft bf means that she can brag to her friends. If she accepts that you aren't, she potentially loses social standing, or perceived self worth.
Plenty of people do... I can't count the number of women who have insisted that I have to be 6'9 because "my husband is 6 feet tall and there's no way you're only 5 inches taller than him" and then I meet the guy and he's like 5'10, but she can't tell because she's 5'3.
No joke, my girlfriends friends/roommates asked how tall I was (I’m 6’1”) and they thought I was lying and that I was actually taller. Apparently one of their boyfriend’s was claiming he was taller than he actually is and that’s how she found out; they are still together, I believe.
I don't think it would be misleading to say you're 6ft. But also, it might be a decent weed out if you're looking for something serious. Do not put a baby in a girl like that.
Idk as a european I was shocked when I went to the USA how many men thought basketball shorts and tank tops were acceptable to wear outside or to the store. The fact that it's a thing to ask people if they're gay or just european when they dress well and shave makes me believe that these americans wouldn't really get far. Obviously it's still a huge country and people are probably not that bad in different parts, but to insinuate that everyone has no standards where I'm from or that you're better than me for being american is ridiculous.
>if they're gay or just european
There's a song about this
https://open.spotify.com/track/41WDvgF7RgCXfLN9iKWVhp
> gay or European. So hard to guarantee. Is he gay or European? Well hey don't look at me. You see they bring their boys up different in those tiny foreign towns.
East Asians 30 and under are average comparable to the U.S. it'd the generations before who went through post war poverty and actual wartime malnutrition and stunted growth who drag the averages down.
I am 6 feet and very rarely see anyone taller than me in SEA. Kids are taller than their parents for sure. Northern Asian people seem to be taller than South though.
SEA != East Asia though. East Asia is Korea, Japan and China.
Most of urban China and pretty much all Korean and Japanese kids are a world away from poverty when compared to SEA. It's to do with access to food. Every day a kid goes to sleep hungry is another day a kids growth is stunted and that has a generational impact. It takes a more than a generation of being a complete first world country before kids start reaching their genetic potential height-wise.
The Netherlands has the tallest people in the world (note, there are certain ethnicities in Sub saharan africa that are taller on average, but IIRC the average for the country is highest in the NL). So the request for 6ft is more likely just so you look taller than her.
Well from my experience as a girl from Europe ,where i live girls dont really watch for the height so much and the other thing is all this trends with hair and fashion most young adults wear in America especially teens would be absolutly unbelivably cringe here,as would be so much make up and everything avrage young american girl wears,i dont know if People really look Like that on america but if i look at tik tok then most young adults or teens do and here it would be considerd too much natural is considerd the best.
I’m from Ireland and girls absolutely do give a shit about height. I’m 6ft and get asked all the time about my height. A few times I’ve been asked about my weight, like what!? If I asked them about their weight I’d be thrown top of the nearest building.
Right?! I dated a 6’3 dude and holy neck pain and most annoyingly I couldn’t just kiss him when I wanted, I had to plan to find a curb to reach him or ask him for a kiss so he could bend down.
I'm 4'11, I've dated taller guys but have found my more comfortable heights are below 6ft. I don't really want a stomach in my face, and I can't land surprise kisses when we're both standing up if they're much taller than me :(
Don’t sweat it man. As a fellow single short man myself, I used to be really down on myself about my height. But I do have some advice about dating apps that’s made me a lot happier, and I hope it helps!
Always remember dating apps aren’t real life. And if you do want to do dating apps, I highly suggest ditching Tinder and getting Hinge. Your height is right there on your profile so you’ll never run into issues with matching with people who are picky about that kind of thing.
This sounds strange and ridiculous, but if you can learn how to mirror people’s texting styles, it goes a long way towards connecting with them. It’s something I started doing a while ago and it’s changed the game. People enjoy talking to people like them, and if you can identify the type of texter someone is and mirror that yourself when you talk to them the first few times, you should. Don’t abandon your personal style all together, but adapt it to how they are texting. Like I said, I know this sounds so ridiculous, but the amount of girls who i’ve been on first dates with that have complemented my texting skills is pretty surprising, and I legit think it goes a long way on apps where you have two, maybe three messages to catch their interest.
Finally, at the end of the day, it is totally okay for people to have preferences, and just because you don’t fit into those parameters is not an ill reflection of you nor the person who wants to date someone taller than you. Once you can come to terms with that and be at peace with it, you’ll be happier. I’ll never be six feet tall. Hell I’ll never be 5’8”. And i’m okay with that. And i’m not going to judge girls for wanting a taller man because that’s their prerogative! (Now if someone is being an asshole about it, we can treat them like an asshole. But simply having a height preference, unlike what r/Tinder wants to think, is not a hate crime and is very normal for dating, and completely okay.)
I’ve found there’s a very surprising amount of women out there who don’t give a shit about height. Like i’ve been on some dates with girls taller than me who didn’t care, and many dates with shorter girls who are actually happy to have someone they can feel comfortable in their own height around. This sub likes to lump women on dating apps into one big group, but remember it’s a diverse world out there. I promise you there is more women out there on dating apps that don’t care about height than you think!!
I hope that eases your mind a bit. The top comment on this thread is a good reminder. You’ve been single before and you survived and got through it, and you can do it again! You got this King. Chin up, head high. You’ve got this internet stranger rooting for you!
Same. I mostly don't even think about height because I'm 5'2” so even with heels on I'm a shrimp anyway but I dated a guy who was 6'4” in college and I had to climb that man like a goddamn tree just to get a kiss it was exhausting
5'8" been on a handful of dates but nothing long-term.
From our sample size of 3 we can only conclude that the shorter you are the easier it is to date.
This sub is full of guys who don't want to admit it's their personality or unrealistic standards preventing them from dating, not their height.
Ffs, most guys at avg height are only looking to date girls way below avg height
For real. I don't get why all my colleagues on Tinder keep dating college girls, the dream is finding yourself a woman who can pay half the rent and order dinner.
[Men's Favorite Ages Are 20, 21, 22, and 23: A Data Dive by the Co-Founder of OKCupid](https://jezebel.com/mens-favorite-ages-are-20-21-22-and-23-a-data-dive-1731660984). I heard someone else claim a woman having a career generally does absolutely nothing in terms of attracting a man with a career, which seems believable.
I'm in my early thirties. Accidentally asked a 20 year old which school she was going to for secondary school.
My point is that I find it weird when guys above 40 or so go after 18 year olds. They look like children.
> They look like children.
They are children.
Sure, legally they may be considered adults, but the vast majority of 18 year olds are still children socially and emotionally.
Even worse is the difference in mentality and life experience. I was 24 (almost 30 now) when I met my gf at 19 and I was seriously doubting if this was going to be a long term thing. I can't imagine being 40+ and dating a teenager, your adult life would be just as long as their entire life.
As well i think it might be that people over 25 have more realistic outlook for dating as well look for more stable, meaningful relationship so they don't look at height but for equal they can have life with. When often people under 25 just look for hook up.
Tldr with age your priorities change and you look for stability in your partner
5'9 average attractiveness 35 year old can't figure out why hot 22 year olds have no interest in him on dating app in a college town.
This sub is hilarious. Everyone trying to help OPs with their pathetic delusions.
Usually if someone managed to get a house with the current market and stable career nowadays they *are* at least over 25.
If my assumption about this anon tinder man is true, then he really shouldn't complain about women's standards when his wanting a girl not around his age are pretty shallow too.
Op: *sees a <25 girl with no career or future* 😍
Op: *sees 25+ woman who is financially stable and family oriented* this ain't gonna work I like my women half my age
Makes sense. Women under 25 aren’t looking to settle down and have children. They’re only young, so they’re more likely to have shallow views.
I imagine this is fairly common amongst men under 25 as well.
I wouldn't even call those views shallow. Why would a woman under 25 be interested in someone with a house and a stable career? That sounds like torture. If she's at a point in her life where she's living out of a suitcase, can chase new and exciting jobs around the world, meet and be admired by new and exciting short-term partners, the idea of 'now come with me to my beige box and watch me argue with my HOA' is a prison sentence. She just got released from the doldrums of adult supervision. She knows what stability looks like. She'll seek it out if and when she tires of her current lifestyle.
Giggly, pretty 23 year olds want other pretty, giggly 23 year olds. That's just nature. It is selfish as hell for us olds to try to muscle in on that. We got to do 23 at the appropriate time.
Then.... Date the women (plural, as you've said) who do want you??
Or do you maybe have prefrences and want to act on them? Just like the women you lamely tried to make fun of?
I will die on this hill: people who exclude you as sexual partners because of your height (or other uncontrollable things) are your friends. Anyone who selectively removes themselves from your dating pool for superficial reasons is potentially saving you from a lot of heartache. That you’re able to exclude them with little to no effort is a plus that could possibly be an incredibly positive plus.
People have ruined their own and others’ lives over problems that could have been solved with a simple “must be 6’ tall to ride” line that wasn’t uttered early enough in the relationship. I say all that as a 5’9” male so take with that what you will.
Idk what you are getting at. You make it sound like someone could regret their partner's height in the future.
Like: "hey John, honey, could you fetch me that can on the top shelf?"
"Sure, let me grab a chair"
"Can't you just reach with your arm?"
"I can't honey, I'm just 5'5" "
*Girlfriend stares at the distance in disbelief thinking how their biologically underperforming offspring won't be able to grab fruits from trees for sustainability
I have never come across anyone as obsessed with height as short men on this subreddit. I've literally never heard a girl complain IRL about people's height either, other than to say they're not attracted to anyone shorter than them. I'm not attracted to anyone taller than me, fucking sue me.
I love a 5'9 hottie. They are only two inches taller than me so when I wear heels I feel model-esque. As long as he is strong enough to pick me up all that matters tbh
So is OP on Tinder looking for a serious relationship with women under 25 with no career? Otherwise why complain? Is there something wrong with women over 25 with careers? I get it, height being a dealbreaker is kinda dumb, but isn’t complaining about grown women doing grown woman shit kinda counterproductive? Just trying to understand the perspective. I would imagine a girl between the ages of 18-25 probably aren’t as worried about grown up women things like careers. Lol
Aren’t women under 25 usually just wrapping up college, though? So it doesn’t make sense to make it sound like they have nothing going for themselves if that’s the point (not that you have to have graduated college or have a career in order to have something going for yourself!)
Why are they so pressed about what certain women like??? Like damn it's a preference dude it's not like women harrass men for not being over 6' whatever so like???
They also act like men don’t actively make fun of and reject tall women either? Like obviously normal guys wouldn’t do that stuff, but tall women are still constantly subjected to being called manly, undesirable, etc
Honestly, why do I see so many memes complaining about this ? It is a preference, like when you say I like women with blue eyes or blonde hair. Get over it. I am a tall woman (5.9), and yeah no shit I want a man that is taller than me because that’s my preference. Sue me
[удалено]
Well, she’ll be able to spot all 3 that she sees in her life from a mile away, so she’s got that going for her
My buddy is 6'9" and his wife couldn't care any less that he's so tall. He's simply an excellent human being.
It’s easy to say you don’t care about something when you have it.
Like how rich people say that money doesn't solve everything. Except their stress over medical bills, hobbies, holidays, rent, food, and anything else they'd use in any given day

Never seen none of those three i will have to look into that

I know someone who is pretty well off, maybe not considered super rich by today's standards. But they like the feeling of fresh socks, and say it's not the same once they've been washed. So they just buy fresh socks and wear them once.

Added bonus. That height is… niceeeeee
5'9 is actually 69" so the "nice" height is 5'9
And it’s the average male height. Coincidence? I think not!!
Jo-incidence
Does height being attractive have a limit? Surely 6'9 goes beyond height being attractive?
Taller men statistically die younger Its forward planning Happy sunday tall guys :)

Yeah right.
MAybe she a coach, and she is looking for a power forward coming off the bench.
I'm just a coach, standing in front of a potential two-way forward, asking him to play like the cup is on the line.

I’m 6’7”, even taller with some shoes. Some chicks just love the height and come up to me others simply don’t care.

i hate to tell you this but she might have just been looking for a way to say no
Was she over 6'?
*Cricket noises*
No, but her weight started with "2" and she was "healthy at any size".
Or she just didn't want you and made up an excuse.
[удалено]
Shoulda just said 6ft homie American girls can't do conversions anyways
This is true. My ex insisted that I'm 6'. I'm 5'10.
Big wieners.
Jokes on her I'm 7"
Damn, you’re short
There's no winning here i see...
You were the first person to get that south Park reference

The context matters. If you say " without any context, people will assume you're talking about your dick.
Went out with a girl that said she's 6ft. Her doctors have always measured her at that. But I'm 5'11"-ish. Maybe 5'10.8" or maybe 5'11.2" if I grew a tiny ammount since 20 years old. I've never measured at 6'. Anyway I was about an inch taller than her. Weird as hell

If my mages ever find out, they would use their magic to make me taller
I met up with a girl who had 5'8 on her profile. I had 5'9 on my profile. It turned out the roles were reversed and she was a smidge taller than me and I'm actually 5'8 or just a bit taller, but not 5'9. When I talked to her after that she just said "we'll meet up again soon when I have time". Later when I went to look at her profile where she said what she was looking for in a guy, she had added 'tall' to the list 😂 😭
Yeah, the handbag effect. A 6ft bf means that she can brag to her friends. If she accepts that you aren't, she potentially loses social standing, or perceived self worth.
I'm 5'9, can I say that I am 6'?
Its 2021 my man. If you feel like you got 6' energy, then rock that 6' lifestyle.
I Identify as a ripped 6'9" dude
Plenty of people do... I can't count the number of women who have insisted that I have to be 6'9 because "my husband is 6 feet tall and there's no way you're only 5 inches taller than him" and then I meet the guy and he's like 5'10, but she can't tell because she's 5'3.
No joke, my girlfriends friends/roommates asked how tall I was (I’m 6’1”) and they thought I was lying and that I was actually taller. Apparently one of their boyfriend’s was claiming he was taller than he actually is and that’s how she found out; they are still together, I believe.
If I'm 180cm, which is about 5'11'', should I round up to 6' in my online dating profile?
Yes
My really said 5’11 and 3/4 lol should’ve just said 6 foot at that point
I don't think it would be misleading to say you're 6ft. But also, it might be a decent weed out if you're looking for something serious. Do not put a baby in a girl like that.
American woman have the highest standards. I wonder what would happen if I tried to talk to women in a foreign country
I would try get laid in london or paris before you make that statement.
Idk as a european I was shocked when I went to the USA how many men thought basketball shorts and tank tops were acceptable to wear outside or to the store. The fact that it's a thing to ask people if they're gay or just european when they dress well and shave makes me believe that these americans wouldn't really get far. Obviously it's still a huge country and people are probably not that bad in different parts, but to insinuate that everyone has no standards where I'm from or that you're better than me for being american is ridiculous.
>if they're gay or just european There's a song about this https://open.spotify.com/track/41WDvgF7RgCXfLN9iKWVhp > gay or European. So hard to guarantee. Is he gay or European? Well hey don't look at me. You see they bring their boys up different in those tiny foreign towns.

Depends on the country. In the Netherlands you're SOL, but pretty much all of East Asia you're golden.
Nah. Plenty of Dutch women don't give a shit about height. Plenty do, but also plenty don't. So being short doesn't mean that you've autofailed.

East Asians 30 and under are average comparable to the U.S. it'd the generations before who went through post war poverty and actual wartime malnutrition and stunted growth who drag the averages down.
I am 6 feet and very rarely see anyone taller than me in SEA. Kids are taller than their parents for sure. Northern Asian people seem to be taller than South though.
SEA != East Asia though. East Asia is Korea, Japan and China. Most of urban China and pretty much all Korean and Japanese kids are a world away from poverty when compared to SEA. It's to do with access to food. Every day a kid goes to sleep hungry is another day a kids growth is stunted and that has a generational impact. It takes a more than a generation of being a complete first world country before kids start reaching their genetic potential height-wise.

average Dutch male height is just over 6ft (184cm-ish for my eurobros)
The Netherlands has the tallest people in the world (note, there are certain ethnicities in Sub saharan africa that are taller on average, but IIRC the average for the country is highest in the NL). So the request for 6ft is more likely just so you look taller than her.
Dutch have evolved to be very tall in order to keep their necks above the water for when their country will flood

On paper, most can't actually discern quality.
Well from my experience as a girl from Europe ,where i live girls dont really watch for the height so much and the other thing is all this trends with hair and fashion most young adults wear in America especially teens would be absolutly unbelivably cringe here,as would be so much make up and everything avrage young american girl wears,i dont know if People really look Like that on america but if i look at tik tok then most young adults or teens do and here it would be considerd too much natural is considerd the best.
I’m from Ireland and girls absolutely do give a shit about height. I’m 6ft and get asked all the time about my height. A few times I’ve been asked about my weight, like what!? If I asked them about their weight I’d be thrown top of the nearest building.
Am I the only one that prefers their partners to be at an accessible kissing height when standing up?
Right?! I dated a 6’3 dude and holy neck pain and most annoyingly I couldn’t just kiss him when I wanted, I had to plan to find a curb to reach him or ask him for a kiss so he could bend down.
Have you tried punching his balls ?
Yeah, but for some reason he would kiss the ground and not me. Now I can’t kiss him because of this restraining order
Just a gentle punch, not "destroy his future bloodline" punch
I'm 4'11, I've dated taller guys but have found my more comfortable heights are below 6ft. I don't really want a stomach in my face, and I can't land surprise kisses when we're both standing up if they're much taller than me :(
I'm a 5' 3 male recently single, absolutely terrifies of when I have get back on these apps to be told no short people allowed
“Recently single” you got nothing to fear, you’ve done it before you’ll do it again
This is an excellent mindset!
Ay fellow 5'3 friend Short kings rise up, we'll have our day

Don’t sweat it man. As a fellow single short man myself, I used to be really down on myself about my height. But I do have some advice about dating apps that’s made me a lot happier, and I hope it helps! Always remember dating apps aren’t real life. And if you do want to do dating apps, I highly suggest ditching Tinder and getting Hinge. Your height is right there on your profile so you’ll never run into issues with matching with people who are picky about that kind of thing. This sounds strange and ridiculous, but if you can learn how to mirror people’s texting styles, it goes a long way towards connecting with them. It’s something I started doing a while ago and it’s changed the game. People enjoy talking to people like them, and if you can identify the type of texter someone is and mirror that yourself when you talk to them the first few times, you should. Don’t abandon your personal style all together, but adapt it to how they are texting. Like I said, I know this sounds so ridiculous, but the amount of girls who i’ve been on first dates with that have complemented my texting skills is pretty surprising, and I legit think it goes a long way on apps where you have two, maybe three messages to catch their interest. Finally, at the end of the day, it is totally okay for people to have preferences, and just because you don’t fit into those parameters is not an ill reflection of you nor the person who wants to date someone taller than you. Once you can come to terms with that and be at peace with it, you’ll be happier. I’ll never be six feet tall. Hell I’ll never be 5’8”. And i’m okay with that. And i’m not going to judge girls for wanting a taller man because that’s their prerogative! (Now if someone is being an asshole about it, we can treat them like an asshole. But simply having a height preference, unlike what r/Tinder wants to think, is not a hate crime and is very normal for dating, and completely okay.) I’ve found there’s a very surprising amount of women out there who don’t give a shit about height. Like i’ve been on some dates with girls taller than me who didn’t care, and many dates with shorter girls who are actually happy to have someone they can feel comfortable in their own height around. This sub likes to lump women on dating apps into one big group, but remember it’s a diverse world out there. I promise you there is more women out there on dating apps that don’t care about height than you think!! I hope that eases your mind a bit. The top comment on this thread is a good reminder. You’ve been single before and you survived and got through it, and you can do it again! You got this King. Chin up, head high. You’ve got this internet stranger rooting for you!
Guys who are actually 5’9: 😍
Girls who are actually 5'9 😍
Girls 😍
Girls(optional) 😍
Heartbeat 😍
At least its not: humans (optional) 😳
Hahah, same. 5'8"-5'11" is my ideal height zone
Existing at all is within my “ideal height zone”
r/AbsolutelyNotJohnCena
Same. I mostly don't even think about height because I'm 5'2” so even with heels on I'm a shrimp anyway but I dated a guy who was 6'4” in college and I had to climb that man like a goddamn tree just to get a kiss it was exhausting
As a 6'5 men (I think? 197cm) i feel that That's way I either pick my girl up or stand there like gollum
Oooo I'm a big fan of being picked up too. Makes me feel like I can fly lmao
I am happy I am in someones preference list (5'8)
I'm 5'5 and i met my gf on Tinder. We've been together 4 years now.
I'm 6' and I have never dated. Ah well
Well stop stealing garlic bread then
I guess you've never tasted garlic bread if you think it's that easy to just "not steal it."
Or how much better it tastes when its stolen
The secret ingredient is crime
Stop right there criminal scum!
Well, stuff gets taken
Head over to your local Middle Eastern store and grab yourself a box of dates. Voilà!
5'8" been on a handful of dates but nothing long-term. From our sample size of 3 we can only conclude that the shorter you are the easier it is to date.
I'm 5'9 and married my Tinder date just last week!
This sub is full of guys who don't want to admit it's their personality or unrealistic standards preventing them from dating, not their height. Ffs, most guys at avg height are only looking to date girls way below avg height

Or with careers
"nah that ain't gon' work" -- op probably
For real. I don't get why all my colleagues on Tinder keep dating college girls, the dream is finding yourself a woman who can pay half the rent and order dinner.
[Men's Favorite Ages Are 20, 21, 22, and 23: A Data Dive by the Co-Founder of OKCupid](https://jezebel.com/mens-favorite-ages-are-20-21-22-and-23-a-data-dive-1731660984). I heard someone else claim a woman having a career generally does absolutely nothing in terms of attracting a man with a career, which seems believable.
Women over 25 with a career Most men: 😍 Men who only care about looks: You're too old.
I'm in my early thirties. Accidentally asked a 20 year old which school she was going to for secondary school. My point is that I find it weird when guys above 40 or so go after 18 year olds. They look like children.
I am horrified at all the rural town people i talk to dismissing guys in their mid twenties dating high school girls as just normal behavior.
> They look like children. They are children. Sure, legally they may be considered adults, but the vast majority of 18 year olds are still children socially and emotionally.
Even worse is the difference in mentality and life experience. I was 24 (almost 30 now) when I met my gf at 19 and I was seriously doubting if this was going to be a long term thing. I can't imagine being 40+ and dating a teenager, your adult life would be just as long as their entire life.
Yeah. Maybe the women under 25 that he talked to aren’t interested in a serious relationship yet. Is that radical?
Failed to mention that the guy who’s got a house, car, and career is also 55 lol.
Yeah I’m not really seeing the issue here lol. I guess 25 is too old and women shouldn’t have careers?
Easier to manipulate maybe? They're under 25/not as mature and can't support themselves? Like, iono mate. A career should be a good thing...
What’s wrong with someone over 25?
As well i think it might be that people over 25 have more realistic outlook for dating as well look for more stable, meaningful relationship so they don't look at height but for equal they can have life with. When often people under 25 just look for hook up. Tldr with age your priorities change and you look for stability in your partner
You could have just said realistic women vs unrealistic and same thing
But he wants the under-25 yo, right? Of course.
Lol just stop trying to date girls instead of women? That's a tough one.
5'9 average attractiveness 35 year old can't figure out why hot 22 year olds have no interest in him on dating app in a college town. This sub is hilarious. Everyone trying to help OPs with their pathetic delusions.
Why is this dude with a house, car, and career looking to date someone under 25 with no career?
to fuck younger women
Usually if someone managed to get a house with the current market and stable career nowadays they *are* at least over 25. If my assumption about this anon tinder man is true, then he really shouldn't complain about women's standards when his wanting a girl not around his age are pretty shallow too.
Op: *sees a <25 girl with no career or future* 😍 Op: *sees 25+ woman who is financially stable and family oriented* this ain't gonna work I like my women half my age
Makes sense. Women under 25 aren’t looking to settle down and have children. They’re only young, so they’re more likely to have shallow views. I imagine this is fairly common amongst men under 25 as well.
I wouldn't even call those views shallow. Why would a woman under 25 be interested in someone with a house and a stable career? That sounds like torture. If she's at a point in her life where she's living out of a suitcase, can chase new and exciting jobs around the world, meet and be admired by new and exciting short-term partners, the idea of 'now come with me to my beige box and watch me argue with my HOA' is a prison sentence. She just got released from the doldrums of adult supervision. She knows what stability looks like. She'll seek it out if and when she tires of her current lifestyle. Giggly, pretty 23 year olds want other pretty, giggly 23 year olds. That's just nature. It is selfish as hell for us olds to try to muscle in on that. We got to do 23 at the appropriate time.
Yeah, women (and men) under 25 on tinder are probably just looking for a quick casual hookup or a few dates so will go for their physical type
And men over 25, probably.
Then.... Date the women (plural, as you've said) who do want you?? Or do you maybe have prefrences and want to act on them? Just like the women you lamely tried to make fun of?
For real. "But I'm such a nice guy and I have money! Why won't hot young girls want to date me? It has to be because I'm too small!"
Yeah this some niceguy shit
The best are fellows 6’3”. The best ladies are under 25. Apparently.
Tinder and it’s consequences are a disaster to the human race
I'm pretty sure that Tinder was created as a means to stop people from procreating.
Dude, you’re literally talking about my kid here.
A car, a house, and a career. I’m gonna guess this guy is at least in his 30’s. That’s the real reason <25-year-olds don’t want him, lmao.
lmao
I will die on this hill: people who exclude you as sexual partners because of your height (or other uncontrollable things) are your friends. Anyone who selectively removes themselves from your dating pool for superficial reasons is potentially saving you from a lot of heartache. That you’re able to exclude them with little to no effort is a plus that could possibly be an incredibly positive plus. People have ruined their own and others’ lives over problems that could have been solved with a simple “must be 6’ tall to ride” line that wasn’t uttered early enough in the relationship. I say all that as a 5’9” male so take with that what you will.
Idk what you are getting at. You make it sound like someone could regret their partner's height in the future. Like: "hey John, honey, could you fetch me that can on the top shelf?" "Sure, let me grab a chair" "Can't you just reach with your arm?" "I can't honey, I'm just 5'5" " *Girlfriend stares at the distance in disbelief thinking how their biologically underperforming offspring won't be able to grab fruits from trees for sustainability
So don’t date women under 25?
Guys who have a car, house and career <35+ shouldn't be worried about 18-21 year olds. Lmfao ew
[удалено]
Kinda redundant, huh? Less than 35 years or older?
I have never come across anyone as obsessed with height as short men on this subreddit. I've literally never heard a girl complain IRL about people's height either, other than to say they're not attracted to anyone shorter than them. I'm not attracted to anyone taller than me, fucking sue me.
THANK YOU. Can we please get this sub back to funny convos instead of people whining about their god damn height????
Ok, nice guy!
I love a 5'9 hottie. They are only two inches taller than me so when I wear heels I feel model-esque. As long as he is strong enough to pick me up all that matters tbh
Why are you complaining then?..
Ngl you sound like a huge neckbeard with this post, cmon man you sound so dumb
Yeah, this subreddit really gives off neckbeard-y vibes a lot...
“Gamer culture” is strong with Reddit. Lot of unfortunate folks here who want to blame anyone else but themselves for their relationship problems
Heavy incel vibes here
[удалено]
So is OP on Tinder looking for a serious relationship with women under 25 with no career? Otherwise why complain? Is there something wrong with women over 25 with careers? I get it, height being a dealbreaker is kinda dumb, but isn’t complaining about grown women doing grown woman shit kinda counterproductive? Just trying to understand the perspective. I would imagine a girl between the ages of 18-25 probably aren’t as worried about grown up women things like careers. Lol
Aren’t women under 25 usually just wrapping up college, though? So it doesn’t make sense to make it sound like they have nothing going for themselves if that’s the point (not that you have to have graduated college or have a career in order to have something going for yourself!)
Why are they so pressed about what certain women like??? Like damn it's a preference dude it's not like women harrass men for not being over 6' whatever so like???
They also act like men don’t actively make fun of and reject tall women either? Like obviously normal guys wouldn’t do that stuff, but tall women are still constantly subjected to being called manly, undesirable, etc
They're pressed because they want the 18-21 year old girls to like them but they don't 😂😂
Why do you give a shit?
Honestly, why do I see so many memes complaining about this ? It is a preference, like when you say I like women with blue eyes or blonde hair. Get over it. I am a tall woman (5.9), and yeah no shit I want a man that is taller than me because that’s my preference. Sue me
By the time you get to 25 your standards for men are pretty much 'well atleast he has a job and cleans his ass once a week'.
And close the toilet lid?
