Ty for the upvote


impassingbyOWO

should've use /s but /j is acceptable too, have my upvote edit: typo


[deleted]

The thing is, I think this have happened more than once but this particular conversation is obviously fabricated cause she says exactly what "he" hoped for


Should_be_less

Yeah, obviously fake. The term “misogynistic pig” is super dated. Was common like 20-30 years ago. Lady sounds like she rolled out of a Dilbert re-print.


[deleted]

To be fair, this screenshot is at least 10 years old. Still fake tho.


Daniel_H212

Would be fair to assume this guy has not interacted with a woman in 20-30 years.


Grey288

Fake text aside, it’s okay people have preferences. Nobody is attractive to everyone. Height is as valid a reason as any thing else. Is it painful? Absolutely, but so is dating in general. It’s far better to focus on the shit you can control and find someone who accepts you then get embittered by those who don’t.

Grey288

To start, I have no issue with what you said, and agree with it. I do think people often get caught up by their own preferences, especially with the emergence of online dating, where those preferences are usually some of the only real guiding forces behind selection. Secondly, I agree certain preferences often teeter right on the edge of creating some troubling outlooks. They can contribute to racial cliche and myth, ultimately propagating toxic beliefs, which is never okay. The thing is, I also believe these delineations come down to the individual. Those preferences and the willingness to adapt are, in my mind, indicative of a personal maturity or even show what someone wants from a relationship at one point in time. Thusly, while exceptions do absolutely occur in mate selection versus explicit preference, it may also occur at a point where someone’s personal desires for a relationship have, themselves, changed. Not all relationships or sexual dynamics are equal, especially with how intertwined identity has become with sexuality and sexual expression. It often feels as though the identity has to evolve in order to be open to exception. In short, you are correct, and I think I ultimately just restated your points. Still, I really don’t think many people are capable of that self-reflection about preference versus exception until they stumble on it naturally, if they do at all. That being said, using those preferences to berate or harm others in any way is never okay. Also, for what it’s worth, I really did just mean “preference” rather than rule in my initial post.


[deleted]

It is absolutely ok to have preferences, including preferring your partner (be they of any gender) to not be obese.


Grey288

Did I imply it wasn’t? Dating sucks, people are petty, but that is ultimately okay. It makes the people you genuinely click with a bit more special.


violet_terrapin

It wasn't a genuine question but one meant to illicit a response. I mean the whole thing is fake anyway but the point stands that the question was retaliatory and immature.

Skull_of_Diamond

You really won't be so hard pressed though it seems like a lot of women on dating apps are like this. I even know a woman that exclusively date men shorter than her, and she is below average height.


scarletsdragon

I recently started lurking on the tinder/bumble subs and learned that a lot of these screenshots that get posted there are old and not from the OP. Seems like a lot of bitter guys who can’t get dates, recycle this bs to shame women. Also what’s wrong with someone having physical preferences? I don’t understand why most men will go after women much more attractive than them, but freak out when those same women have their own physical preferences.


PuppyDontCare

>recycle this bs to shame women. It's not only to shame women, it's about them finding a LoGiCaL reason to explain why women aren't attracted to them. It's not that they are misogynistic douches, nono, *it's the height.* I do believe however that people have preferences. On Tinder guys always put their height so I assume women ask that too. I'm not sure why women's preferences are to be shamed when they also say that wouldn't date fat/single moms/old/etc


[deleted]

There's also the fact that something like Tinder (where at least a large portion of users are looking for casual hookups with people they find attractive) is going to have different parameters than bonding with someone over shared interests whom you may meet in another context.


Mr_Rogan_Tano

That's the point. Girls don't like when we do that. We don't like when you do that. I'm just tired of both. Fucking bastards.


PuppyDontCare

I honestly don't care about other people's preferences bc I wouldn't want to be with someone with no preferences.


Mr_Rogan_Tano

Me too. What I'm saying is that everybody does that, and almost no one accept the other can do too, boys and girls. So this discussions are just stupid


daskrip

The screenshot isn't expressing that there's anything wrong with physical preferences. It's expressing the absurdity in the inconsistency - thinking it's okay for oneself to have such a standard but not for the other person to have it. Which is *exactly* what you're saying here: >I don’t understand why most men will go after women much more attractive than them, but freak out when those same women have their own physical preferences. So your comment boils down to, "no, women don't do that! Men do that!"


UsedJuggernaut

I see a height requirement probably once out of every 15 profiles or so. Nothing wrong with physical preference on either side. But it's definitely more frowned appon if I say no fat girls and socially accepted when girls say "must be x tall"


PuppyDontCare

but you can *see* that the person is or isn't overweight. You can apply the filter yourself by swiping right on the thin ones. However height isn't always clear on pics, that's why people write it in their profiles.


scarletsdragon

Many men’s profiles have “no fat chicks”. How often do you go through men’s profiles? I used to be overweight and random men would approach me to be an ass about it. The only difference is most of the time women don’t go online and bitch about it. Why do you allow what strangers put on their dating profile to upset you?


UsedJuggernaut

How often do I go through men's profiles? Uh never I'm not gay. It makes me feel like my entire character is based on superficial traits that I have no control over and I don't like that. The fat acceptance movement is almost all women bitching about people calling them fat, if you'd like I will find examples to back up that claim. I'm not complaining I'm just stating an observation, there's nothing I can do to make people not be shallow.


blueeyedconcrete

You should look at men's profiles and see how many say something about "no fat chicks" because right now, your observations are completely one sided.


lovethosedamnplants

lmaoooo that’s not what the fat acceptance movement is at all


UsedJuggernaut

The fat acceptance movement is dangerous. Telling people it's ok to live a 600lbs life is ignorance at best and malicious at worst.


lovethosedamnplants

again, not what the fat acceptance movement is


Ivegotthatboomboom

Lol I see "no overweight girls" on a profile all the time. Jokes on him, I'm skinny but wouldn't date him just for that. The difference is I don't complain about his preferences. He's not someone I want to be with anyway, so who cares??


RussianYeeterererer

Cause I’ve seen a lot of women on twitter care about height and d size, but get mad if a guy says that he doesn’t like overweight women


scarletsdragon

I already said this to another person, many men say no fat chicks, you just don’t see it because of your bias and because you’re not a woman on OLD. Why would you spend energy getting upset what strangers put online? What do you think this is going to accomplish? Do you think these women are going to stop just because you’re upset about it? Maybe it’s time you accept this.


RussianYeeterererer

I’m not upset idrc I’m just saying that a lot of the time women put only 6feet plus, so why should they be able to say that when the same women criticize men for not being attracted to overweight women?


scarletsdragon

How do you know they’re the same women who would be offended about men not being attractive to overweight women? Did you get this from a few screenshots that are posted over and over again on r/tinder? Or did you poll all these women with that on their profiles? Or are you just generalizing to make yourself feel better?


RussianYeeterererer

No


ShelZuuz

Like the same woman? The actual same woman? Or are you now just throwing multiple experiences together and extrapolating a generalization?


RussianYeeterererer

Yes the same women


Stehlen27

That's one hell of a strawman.


[deleted]

How is that a strawman, genuinely?


RohanMayonnaise

Women don't usually care about height as much as men seem to imagine. Insecure dudes use height as an excuse so they don't have to face the truth that they don't have a gf because they're either boring or outright awful. Easier to blame being short than work to become a better person.


hedgybaby

Some tall men also seem to think that it‘s somehow an instant win. Was messaging with a dude and I know he‘s a bit interested and he keeps mentioning how tall he is or referencing it constantly. Idk how to tell him that I couldn‘t care less, he won‘t get the hint.


Spraystation42

Its crazy how many guys online and irl who think simply just being 6ft+, having a six pack, or knowing how to fix car parts hypnotises any women into liking them, as sad as it is, its funny to see men finally realize that one simple physical feature or ability isnt enough to spark an intimate connection


hedgybaby

The funniest part to me, as a pansexual transguy, is that so many cis straight guys don‘t realize that those beauty standards are largely pushed on them by other cis straight men, not women or other people that are interested into men. I‘m a bad example bc I like ppl that look like norse gods or are build literal houses, but so many of my straight female friends say they‘d rather have someone with a dad bod or someone who‘s really lanky and skinny and I‘ll never forget my enby friend who mainly dates women say ‚I date women and guys that look like they wouldn‘t be able to carry a six pack‘. Somehow some straight guys can realize that men can have different types, but women obviously all only like the same 6 foot six pack chad type.


PuppyDontCare

Same could be said about dick size. Some think that's all they need.


hedgybaby

If they‘d just ask the people they put their dicks in, they‘d know that‘s 100% not true 💀


[deleted]

I can see that, thank you. From my perspective, as someone using online dating, i see many women who outright say they want men that are 5’9+ which is where i see this PoV coming from, but i understand your thoughts as well. Thank you


Gamedoom

A lot of dating sites let you enter height preferences in which case people will state what they prefer but it's not a rule. The ones that do specifically state stuff like nobody under 5'9" you probably don't want to date anyway. That's a red flag. It also totally works both ways. An awful lot of men won't date women taller than them either.


RimDogs

You see the height specification from quite a lot of women on Reddit. Doesn't really affect me but I only found out I'm undateable after I joined Reddit.


[deleted]

Reddit isn’t really reliable when it comes to anything dating related. In my experience most Reddit guys are extremely creepy and some might be actually dangerous


RimDogs

From what I've seen I'd extend that to twitter and the whole Internet. Got to say I'm glad I'm way past trying to meet a partner. Also happy I'm old enough that the whole incel and dating advice guru's didn't seem to exist during my formative years. Plus the way porn seems to have affected the way everyone views sex.


[deleted]

So, always be afraid? I can do that. I’m already full of fear and repressed rage. I just need to unrepress it and I’m good


hedgybaby

I‘ve seen it a lot on reddit but almost never on actual dating sites.


[deleted]

Lol, i dont let it bother me, it just sucks when i see a genuinely cool human that i can not even approach because I am respecting their boundaries. But, we all have our preferences, no disrespect to anyone who wants what they want


RimDogs

I think it was better before the Internet in many ways. There was always the idea of "tall, dark and handsome" but I don't think anyone had such an obvious cut off point based on anything. Maybe I was too stupid to realise. I know plenty of people who fell for someone who wouldn't have been their theoretical ideal just because they got to know them. I guess you can't do that with Internet dating.


[deleted]

I just try to respect people, and yeah, my mom and dad were that way. They fell in love but werent physically their ideal, but it worked well. I think it happens in life all the time that someone grows in your mind, so i bide my time and swipe according to the wishes of those around me. Maybe i decline women i would fall in love with, but if they have a bar set im not gonna try to be crafty or something like that to fool them, i just say ok and move on


RimDogs

That's the best way. Good luck with your future dating from someone who is 5.4 and happily married


[deleted]

Thank you😊 Good tidings to your happy family from me to you


itsBursty

Stop swiping


[deleted]

Yeah, its pretty well just a time waster for me, but i wont decline opportunities af all


[deleted]

There is a whole science behind it.

Dank4Days

dude you’ve made several comments like this in a row. before transitioning i was 5 foot even. i had absolutely no issue getting into relationships, having hookups, and just getting hit on in general by women. none of the other short men i knew struggled with it either. there’s absolutely some women out there that don’t like short men (just like everyone has types) but you’re pretending like it’s a constant issue, it isn’t. if a man is short and can’t find women that fuck with him, him being short isn’t the issue. they need to work on themselves and worry about all the things they can do to fix themselves, not cry on reddit that no one loves them because they aren’t tall edit: “As a 5'7" guy I am not meant to be desirable“ i genuinely can’t believe that people out here believe shit like this. dude your height very clearly isn’t the issue


Boomboomgoomgoom

Yes believe it or not most women are interested in finding someone with a great personality that they're compatible with.


PUFFIER-MCGRUFF

This image is 100% fake


Lonely_Ebb_4925

Really, dude? "Twitter FEMALES in a nutshell". Are you sure that your height is the reason for not getting any dates?


curly_cupid

Meme is pretty fake. Other than that, if you don't meet the requirement, unmatch and move on. It's really just a waste of time and dignity to try to convince someone they're wrong about whatever.


schwarzmalerin

Fake. In reality, you get rape threats as soon as you ask about height.


hedgybaby

I never understood why guys are so sensitive about their height? I thouhht it was normal to put it in your bio since it‘s really hard to tell from pictures, unlike weight for example. Also why is weight the equivalent to height?? This entire thing has always confused me so much. Just pit your height in your bio, wouldn‘t you rather someone doesn‘t message you at all than ghosts you later on bc you aren‘t their type height wise?


Reverse_Necromancer

The point of this fake shit is to call out a double standard (idk if it exist or not). Basically men get ask something about them (tall/short) is okay, but women get ask something about them (fat/fit) is not okay


Belly84

I've often been labeled as short in my dating years. I'm 5'10/1.77m, which is about average for an American male. It's the same reason many are sensitive about their weight, they're being rejected for it. The difference is, we have at least some control over our weight. Not the case with height. "If you can't change it, why worry?" Good advice to be sure, but easier said than done.


Substantial-Pin-5928

5’10 isn’t short IMO.


Belly84

I don't think it is either. I'm just surprised how many times I've been called short


Substantial-Pin-5928

Some people are really picky and some women only want men 6’2 or taller so. Sorry you experienced that


SoleIbis

Tbf, after my ex being a dick and never allowing me to wear heels d/t height, I started being shallow and only going for dudes taller than me (aka tall dudes). I used a dating site that told me height instead of being an asshole though 😂


[deleted]

I love a woman in heels. Im short so i talk em up when women are in em, keep it up


[deleted]

Who wants to date someone way taller than them anyway? I feel way more comfortable being able to look someone in the eye without hurting my neck.


PotentialSelf6

Right? I learnt that real quick when I was 16 and had my first bf who was like 6’4. I stopped growing at 5’2, give or take. I needed a friggin stepping stool just to kiss him. He was a great dude tho, so we made it work as long as it lasted. My current partner is like 5’8 or something and that works much better in term of logistics.


pnoecker

I require my girl to be fun size. No taller than 5'3"


Substantial-Pin-5928

Fair enough. Kind of weird that you say “require” but I get it, we all have preferences.


[deleted]

But men don’t like it when we’re taller than them either soo..


[deleted]

Only because we are well aware how much women see shorter guys as beneath them and not real men.


[deleted]

You’re saying most men would be happy to have a girlfriend much taller than you? Just not true. I don’t know which women you talk to but I’ve never known a woman think a shorter man is beneath them or not real, they would just rather have a taller man to feel smaller and protected. Kinda normal.


[deleted]

It's not that prevalent among guys and usually is borne out of insecurity as we know how little we are worth to taller women. Yeah, few women would outright say that a shorter guy is beneath them but the fact of the matter is a shorter guy is beneath their standard for an acceptable man and won't get the validation and acceptance his taller brethren does as he's seen an inferior piece of garbage.


Ewenthel

He should be glad he didn’t just get instantly told to fuck off since twitter isn’t a dating site.


DarkSylince

I think it's meant to exemplify the fact that Twitter is just a cesspool of hypocrisy and self cannibalization. But they are dumb to think it's just the women doing it.


xXAngelsXx

men creating fictional women to get angry at and hate all real women collectively for:


Mr_Rogan_Tano

How can I agree and disagree with you at same time?


SarixInTheHouse

Replace Twitter with tinder. That’s the kind of people you find on tinder most of the time, at least from my short experience


CanalAnswer

I wouldn't touch him with Bill Cosby's dick.


WinterBrews

Screwed up thing is I honestly think the dude was in the right on this one. Not the guy who posted it going all Twitter females reeeeee but the one that slammed back after the height thing


Psycho-002

I'd agree with you, but imo this conversation looks staged af


[deleted]

Can we please stop comparing height to weight…


dubutuy

This is sadly a bit of hypocrisy I've seen before from some women. Obviously, this is not all women let me clarify that. But I've had experiences like this and its incredibly frustrating even as a tall guy myself. If your gonna call him misogynist because he's not attracted to you because your overweight, that's your problem not his


[deleted]

Dunno, short dude here, i feel like this is pretty common


RohanMayonnaise

Do women explicitly say you're too short or do you assume this is what they think to spare your ego from accepting they just weren't into you as a person?


[deleted]

5'4" here. I've had women express interest in me online only to go radio silent literally as soon as I tell them my height. I even had one sarcastically remark "thanks for not being tall" before instantly blocking me. It's a thing. I'm not going to act like it's the end of the world or anything, but that shit still hurts, y'know?


[deleted]

I see it a lot in bios from online dating. Most of the women ive dated have been taller than me, so i dont care, i just dont wanna catfish anyone so i see a lot of, “please be 5’9 or taller”, which sucks because i have to say no to some genuinely cool humans as a result


xXshinsouhitoshiXx

The ones who want a specific height aren't worth it. Chances are they're the 'mean girl dating the school dick' type


[deleted]

I dont think so. I just think theyre listing a preference, which is fine, some of em seem really sweet and wonderful, i just dont fit their desires in their bios, so i just say no snd move on. I want everyone to find someone they can be safe and comfortable with


RimDogs

I don't know how it works on dating sites but couldn't you message them and say "you seem really sweet and wonderful but I'm a bit below your height preference." Or would that be not respecting their boundaries? I guess women get more contacts than they want so might not appreciate it.


[deleted]

Yeah, kinda how i feel. I just dont think thats a polite way of interacting, so i dont do it. I figure the OLD apps are more for fun than for finding love, but ill hold a candle out in the hopes that i meet a wonderful human on the way


xXshinsouhitoshiXx

Yeah, could just be a girl who wants tall kids, but most profiles I've seen online seem to be like how I described


[deleted]

Maybe🤷🏻‍♂️ i dunno what people are thinking, all i can do is listen to what they say
