Would YOU date a shorter man? 5ft 8in woman asks if she's 'incredibly shallow' to reject a Tinder match based on height - as others warn they could look like mother and son!

A woman who is preparing to meet h a man she matched with on Tinder has provoked a lively debate about whether height really matters when dating, ater admitting she's nervous about him potentially being shorter than her.

Posting anonymously on Mumsnet, the UK-based woman explained she's 5ft 8in and has always dated taller men, and asked if she's 'incredibly shallow' to worry that a man she's planning a socially-distanced date with might be shorter.

I recall a story from a few years ago, how single Trump admin folks had trouble getting dates in DC. Indeed, Deplorables seem to be "discriminated against" regardless of height or weight.

Trump admin staff in DC dodged a bullet if women wouldn't date them. Despite decades of feminists propagandizing what women want, their screaming went to waste when women met real Trump supporters. No wonder Leftist women hated him so much.

Men who don't hold back quickly benefit doubly - repel the deranged harpies while attracting the normal and pretty women.

The smell of money may be an aphrodisiac to some women but testosterone and gun cleaner really do it to them. The smell of engine oil and sawed wood are right up there too.

My ex was 6-1, and preferred not to be. She took many remarks about her height, which I “addressed”. Personally, I like vertically challenged gals! Seriesly! ;-)

I am in the other end of the spectrum.

I am literally one inch too tall to safely fly the plane I have flown for almost three decades. In fact, one more inch and I would not have been permitted to serve in the military. I get a medical waiver every year and an told that if I eject my neck will probably snap.

I scared girls I met. Very happy I had an arranged marriage ( to a six foot woman who thought she was unmarrigable).

Nothing in this world is made for me. Cars. Pants. Shoes. Chairs.

Plus I’m a lefty!

Guess the grass is always greener, but there is a lot to be said for being average height.

Her main question will actually be: How tall is his bank account? He could be qualified to have been hired as a Munchkin extra in “The Wizard of Oz” if he’s got an NBA Power Forward size portfolio.

I once saw a woman who walked up beside me while I was waiting at a counter. I’m six foot, but she must have been over seven foot tall. She was tastefully dressed, with a nice face, and a fit figure. Still, the proportions were all wrong. Just by being larger her figure was unattractive, if not weird. She reminded me of why I hated the architecture of the Kennedy Center: 36-24-36 is fetching, 56-44-56 is not.

That’s not completely true for over 30 users of tinder

Plenty dating sites have references for height for both sexes

Tinder is not a dating site. Its a no strings attached sex hookup site.
Nobody is looking to marry anyone on Tinder.

I just curse what fate dealt me.

I just blame my father for my bald head. Well, him and my mother for marrying him. Not a week goes by when I don't ask her what the hell she was thinking. :-)

As a half-dwarf (left side is quite a bit shorter than the right side), I find women who discriminate base don height a rather mixed bag.

Yep. Cultural Marxism. They couldn’t use economics because it always fails. Divide us by sex, race, religion, and every way they can think of.

Proof reading and spell checking are both missing in this post and some of the grammer hardly makes sense.

Well

My real time experience is pretty fresh

I was on tinder last summer.....a fair amount

It's not what you're describing as strictly hook up.

Nor is it strictly hook up for young people ..it actually their go to dating app....or was ....there could be another one now

My daughter ..32....met her Christian husband on tinder

You can specify what you're looking for

Casual short term

Dating

Love

I myself had better luck on bumble and match

Match had more available 35-59 year old single women

Bumble had better looking women....

There are a lot of available pretty women out there looking for a relationship ....I mean a lot....it's sad....beautiful middle aged southern girls alone marriage failed but today it's not like before where the man cheated and left her although that's still the majority....a lot of these women just got tired of the man and the expectations or wanted more....they learned to hate what they once loved....I felt sorry for the ones who were petty took care of themselves and did everything right and he still dumped them at 50 for younger babe....it was sad....and either marriage failure even after 20 years ....is way too common and it's gone up because now women leave too for selfish reasons

For simple sex for men you're expected to pretty much pay for it if you're over 35

Tinder will toss girls for that..

Sugar daddy and seeking arrangements ....cut to the chase....older men younger women...a sure thing

Ashley Madison is for swingers or cheaters and seemed to me to be for wives in marriages that either wanted another woman sexually in the mix or less frequently desired another man...where like you alluded to

They ask openly for the third party to have a large penis....or be black

I did see one ad where a comely older woman said her husband had been unable to have sex for years and years and she was looking for an understands partner....the ad looked real but it could have been constructed

That was a 7 month window into my life....temporary....and that's what I saw and learned

Disagree if u must

I prefer to see his eyes rather than his nostrils, but then, I’m only 60 inches high. In any case that’s neither here nor there, when I say yes or no to a date. Just don’t trip on me.

Don’t I know it, my SO and former female co-workers (not at the same time) would say things about guys that they liked. All physical, lustful traits but yeah, ok, whatever I know we are human.

One day I’ve turned it around on my co-workers and said if I was talking like that about humanoids with vaginas you would rake me over the coals for being shallow. Then I described a perfect woman (physically), which none of them met. Talk about about a bunch cats that herded together.

My co-workers never brought such things up in my presence again. My SO and some in her family on the other hand needs to be reminded every now and then that just because you have a hoo-hah doesn’t mean you aren’t shallow. :)
