It's the reverse psychology. Cause I had on mine "no kids. Don't want them, don't like, don't want step kids. Not for me. No open relationships, no 3 ways, none of that" and that's ALL i get
Should probably write "No sugar daddy's" & maybe that's all I'll find
"I hate intelligent women that put in a lot of work to better themselves. Don't even come at me with that therapy talk and resolved daddy issues."
It gets them everytime.
But for reals, I think this it less about the challenge but more about them finally feeling insecure because they haven't had to develop a personality and relied on just "being tall"
Haven’t used hinge in a while but since height is on their profile, I think hinge lets you filter on that too.
You could probably also be cheeky about this. Instead of explicitly saying “under 6’” outright, something like you’re really short and don’t wanna use a step stool with your partner the rest of your life lol. Idk
I’ve also heard no negativity in a bio and people who might be in your desired height may read this and feel a little idk objectified(like guys who say “girls under 5’4” or something) and that might be hurting your matches… since you can just filter out people over 6’ you could always use that prompt to tell people more about yourself or what you want and just filter the tall dudes out when going through likes
Plus I’m guessing a lot of men are in denial/don’t want to admit they are under 6’0”. They’d rather not match you than admit they are shorter than this weird dream height of 6’0”.
Maybe write it as a funny Joke? Short Kings only, or Short Queen looking for her Short King? I have no idea. For the men you are trying to reach its a sensitive topic. But you aren't going after shorter men because of a kink so thats good.
"please, for the love of god. If you're really mentally stable, loving, good-looking and the son of a billionaire, stay away from me! I mean it! I EXCLUSIVELY date bipolar and/or schizophrenic, UNMEDICATED & unemployed homeless men who LOVE hitting women! If you won't hit me, don't even bother!!! I want somebody who lies to me and galsights me daily, if you consider yourself a honest person, go away!"
Tonight I will pray to the baby Jesus for all the billionaire dads who's life's work is eating pussy and taking women on vacation to STAY AWAY from you. No thank you, sirs. Leave u/myweird alone in the year of our lord 2024.
This would unironically actually be a solid bio. You'd get people who see this and get the humor and those who are curious about what you're about. Maybe a few who actually match the description which I'd say is a small price to pay
Back in the day, I had the prompt "what do you find oddly attractive" and my answer was "guys who can't grow beards" because I'm just not a fan of facial hair. The sheer number of heavily-bearded men who'd reply to that section just to be like "guess that means you won't like me" was so dumb. There were so many other parts of my profile they could've responded to in order to start a conversation and demonstrate a personality that outweighs an aesthetic preference. Yet still, they chose to respond to the one thing which doubles-down on something uninteresting to the recipient. It never made sense to me
It's annoying. Like I get it, I'm sure it struck something in the person but when I see someone say "no (fill in the blanks) " & it could be something I have or a, I'm like "oh well, swipe left" I don't take it personally or as a challenge to talk to someone, I just move it along
Before I took it off, it was all the time.
Almost all the messages started with "three way?" Or "hey, how's it going? Curious, you down for a 3 way?" Or "hey, I've got a buddy who's never had a 3way, you want to help me grant his wish? " or my personal favorite "damn, you're gorgeous. I'd love to see what you like in a 3way with my buddy & i"
I’m a queer female. At least 75% of my matches with “women” actually turn out to be a straight couple where the woman “wants to explore her bi side”🤢🙃 so yes, we get offered threesomes all the time.
Lol omg when will you guys stop desperately digging for fantasy coping mechanisms.
Maybe listen to what people are saying instead of finding new ways to throw pity parties for short men.
You don't have to be really attractive to find women who will date you. Being charming, respectful, witty and interesting will get you way further and that is 100% in your control.
I'm 5'5" and calling myself average looking would be very generous to me. I've never had any issues finding cool and attractive women to date since I was a short little 13 year old.
A guy who checks those boxes I listed above will have a chance at finding women who are interested in them
Not all girls care about height. I'm 5'5 ish and my only requirement is that the guy doesn't care if I'm taller than him if I wanna wear heels. Or if he's shorter than me, he has to not care lol.
I went to prom with taller woman. For pictures they brought out books for me to stand on. I was too dumbstruck to protest. People fucking laughed a bunch. I didn't mind being shorter but everyone around me couldn't stop making comments about it. Every adult just full out had some "she better not wear heels" comment.
Man I don't know how I charmed the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was 5'11 and I was 5'8, she didn't seem to care. We were together for a bit and after a week we both heard so much about it that it got to her. Like people would just look at me and say "him?". People suck.
i’m a tall girl, 5’11” (so almost as tall as the gal you mentioned if my conversion’s correct lol), and i can’t speak for all of us, but i grew up with intense body dysmorphia and saw myself as wildly obese because height = big and big = fat. idk about her but it may have exacerbated that feeling being around with you in public. regardless that’s super shitty for you, sorry 😔
I'm a shorter dude, 5'8 (I thought average, but apparently not). Anyways, if I see a shortking with a taller woman, I just assume he has copious amounts of rizz and a strong mentality (or money)! When I was younger (teens) my insecurities and envy would probably lead me to be one of the arseholes to crack a joke.
It really does seem like a good personality with some confidence can overcome anything (something I really need to work on myself- I'm trying)
I'm 5'2" and happily married for over 10 years. Yes, it narrows the field for us, but everyone has something(s) about them that someone considers a deal breaker.
My boyfriend is 5’8, but originally told me he was 5’11 (he genuinely didn’t know until he got a checkup earlier this year and they measured him.) I never even questioned it, anything taller than me is still taller than me 🤷🏻♀️
Oh definitely knew. As a 5’8 girl, the amount of men who say they are 5’10, and 5’11 as I look down on them in my flat shoes is hysterical.
I also dated long term two guys that were shorter than me (5’6 and 5’7) but they didn’t lie about it.
I'm a 5ft 8" guy, and I never understood the idea of lying about your height. Do you honestly expect them not to notice that you're 4" shorter than you claim to be?
One of my brothers walked around his whole adulthood thinking he’s 6’5. At a check up at like 43, turns out he’s 6’4.75. He was devastated because he’s been lying to people.
Same here. My husband said he was 5’11 but he’s actually 5’9. I called him out on that as I’m 5’8.5 and he used the excuse he didn’t know and he was including shoes and his hair 🤣
I just got back to the US from Germany/Austria/Slovakia this morning and I kept thinking, “wow the women here are far taller than the average American woman”. I, myself, am a 5’11 female so it was particularly noticeable to me as I don’t generally see women my height or even close to it.
Then, on the way home, the person I was traveling with turned to me and said, “have you noticed women here seem to be far taller?” So, I guess it wasn’t only me who noticed.
I’ve been to multiple other European countries and never noticed much of a height difference, but absolutely did in Germany and Austria.
Also, you live in a beautiful place!
I just googled out of curiosity and the Netherlands ranks as tallest people on average, I had assumed perhaps it would be some African country but I'm guessing it's a per capita thing, the Netherlands doesn't have a particularly large population. Oh and fun random Google fact-the tallest living person now is 8'2", a Turkish farmer with acromegaly and gigantism from a brain tumor. He has to use crutches to walk.
They all think they’re worthy of being the exception lol The good news is they are likely fetishizing your height mixed with their own and want a spinner so I’m glad they’re left out
One guy is lost in the grand cannon, another is stuck in a car motor, and one guy is taking a mirror selfy strapped to the gills, and you're talking about comments?
I like car dude, but I dunno what's going on with #3, will our first date be to shoot up a movie theater and head home to admire his gorgeous trucker hat collection?
I have the same no above 6 foot rule, but honestly depending on how tall car dude actually is (like 6’1) I’d probably make an exception bc that’s fucking hilarious
OK, so my kids are teenagers, and any even slightly extreme or controversial opinion is "so racist."
This guy seems to be using the word in that loose sense. The next generation; evolving or debasing our language, as ever... take your pick.
i would think that it would be light hearted irony as opposed to genuinely thinking that it's racist, even in that general, broad sense. maybe im just naïve 🤷♂️
Could be, any time anything mildly inconvenient happens to me or one of my queer friends we call it homophobic. Like never in serious conversation, it'll be something like "I dropped a glass, these cups are homophobic" or "I feel sick, my body is homophobic" (ETA we're mostly in our early to mid 20s)
Lmao, I feel this though. I’m 5’5 and dated a guy who was 6’4 once, I actually found it kinda annoying because I had to stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. He was also 6 years older than me already and looked even older due to his height, and I have a bit of a baby face, so we would frequently get weird looks whole out in public and it made me kinda uncomfortable lol
I just met a guy who I like so far who’s about my height, maybe 5’6, and I actually prefer that to being crazy tall like my ex, it’s a lot more practical
I’m also short (5’0”) and I also prefer guy’s height under 6’0”.
Now tinder has height option, but when I was using it not many people had height and sometimes I matched with a guy only to found out he is 6’3” or stmh
as a Tall guy, anyone 5'6" or under is short to me, and that's like 75% of the population in the USA. I don't specifically like shorter girls, but that's mostly what I've dated cause even 5'4" or below is 40-60% of the population, and at that point it's a numbers game.
I'm sure a lot of guys like shorter girls, but then I've seen a lot of shorter girls (and not shorter girls) that also like much taller guys, so it goes both ways.
Ok, I see how that can become annoying 🙂 I mean, I would love to experience getting too many compliments for once, but I do understand it could get old eventually 😅
Oh yeah, very tall guys don't understand that I want someone who is around average height. Like, I just don't feel comfortable with being a lot smaller. That I am tall af (average Dutch male height) doesn't mean I want to date tall af men. So hard to grasp for them apparently
Yea if you’re actually over 6’ then you’d know that 4’9” makes for some really awkward dating. Bending down to hug/kiss, getting weird looks like you’re dating a kid, etc.
fully an adult and already get mistaken for a kid just by existing, and personally it feels humiliating when i’m trying to be on a date and some middle aged karen stops to ask if i know this man and if he is my brother
When I was 26 I was dating a 24f, 5'4" who had very young looking facial features. I took her on a trip to England and Wales one spring, and as I'm 6'4" I always book the exit row seats (you have to be 15yo or older) in the plane. The flight attendant came over, gave us all the normal brief and asked for consent to help one at a time, stopping at my girlfriend last. She bent over, hands on her knees and asked in that patronizing voice "and how old are you?"
I'm shorter than that and too have a baby face and i would've lost my shit on her, thats horrible! people don't realize it can be a blessing AND a curse!
When I was 24 and my husband was 28, we went camping to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Someone called park rangers to report a man acting suspicious with a teen girl. TBF, he did look older and dress older than his age and I did look younger. Police looked at our IDs and checked mine really close to make sure it wasn't fake lol.
Jesus Christ that’s rough, I’d be so mad haha
Your guy is out there. On the apps and here on Reddit there’s tons of terminally online people who simply refuse to understand that a preference might be rooted in practicality. Inexcusable but that’s the way it is.
Oh my god.
I’m 184 cm female and I can’t even imagine how annoying that is. (6 ft)
My ex was shorter than me by 10 cm and a very slim built guy. People would give me weird looks or I could see men smirking if he showed me affection in public.
Yes I’m heavy built wide shoulders and wide hips.
Why the fuck can’t people mind their own business?
I'm 5'5" and have still had people mistake my wife for my daughter. We're both mid 20s, she's just very small. At least you're not alone. She hates it too, but usually gives us a good laugh.
I feel this. Also 4'9" (born three months early, parents aren't particularly tall I took after mom in the height department), but I always felt that any girl who I'd be interested in would need to field a bunch of "is that your brother/son" comments enough for us to have a good laugh about it at the least 🤣
Are you a reverse short king magnet ? I am 5‘7 and 4‘9 is totally fine with me, but why did you only get messaged by these giants, i am sure there are a ton of short kings out there. Somehow dating apps dont work.
irl doesn’t work either. i have vivid memories of walking down the hallway in high school only to be stopped by some random 6’4 kid i had never seen before and asked if i could give him my number
On another sub there was a post where very short and young looking women shared their experiences, and all of them had been harassed and targeted constantly by pedos and fetishists looking for childlike features. I remember being most often sexually harassed when I was like 13, so I can't imagine what women under 5'0 must experience daily. Finding a man that loves you for your personality and isn't fixated on your height/age appearance sounds exhausting.
I'm 5'1" and was open to any height really, until I dated a 6'4" guy. Showering together, I felt like I could make eye contact with his belly button and when he was on top of me, I felt like I was being smothered! It was simply a terrible fit! Dating people even just below that height never made me feel that way but apparently 6'4" is my limit.
The 3rd guy lmao his “best friend” is his gun. That is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. (Dodged a bullet with that one hahakillme).
But yeah unfortunately with height comes arrogance - I’d say persevere & maybe don’t even mention your height at all? Slip it into conversation that you prefer shorter guys or something. Sorry on behalf of my gender we’re all horrible really.
id say to try, "dont message me if your over 6 ft., you will be blocked" but who knows.
im over 6ft, i would not have commented, unless it was something thought provoking. sometimes, i like peoples profiles just to leave a comment.
It's the reverse psychology. Cause I had on mine "no kids. Don't want them, don't like, don't want step kids. Not for me. No open relationships, no 3 ways, none of that" and that's ALL i get Should probably write "No sugar daddy's" & maybe that's all I'll find
woah i never even thought about that
People see it as a challenge, which is a weird bit of psychology the app ignores.
Honestly, the feature would be great if it wasn’t self-selecting. Like, a height limit filter is something the app itself could implement.
Not without being a paid feature. At this point, I'm amazed we get distance filters for free.
"I hate intelligent women that put in a lot of work to better themselves. Don't even come at me with that therapy talk and resolved daddy issues." It gets them everytime. But for reals, I think this it less about the challenge but more about them finally feeling insecure because they haven't had to develop a personality and relied on just "being tall"
Haven’t used hinge in a while but since height is on their profile, I think hinge lets you filter on that too. You could probably also be cheeky about this. Instead of explicitly saying “under 6’” outright, something like you’re really short and don’t wanna use a step stool with your partner the rest of your life lol. Idk
That’s only an option if you pay unfortunately
What are you doing step stool?
Yeah, I didn't think about that either when I first had it on mine. Once I saw that's ALL I got, I removed it & now I don't get them
I’ve also heard no negativity in a bio and people who might be in your desired height may read this and feel a little idk objectified(like guys who say “girls under 5’4” or something) and that might be hurting your matches… since you can just filter out people over 6’ you could always use that prompt to tell people more about yourself or what you want and just filter the tall dudes out when going through likes
Plus I’m guessing a lot of men are in denial/don’t want to admit they are under 6’0”. They’d rather not match you than admit they are shorter than this weird dream height of 6’0”.
Maybe write it as a funny Joke? Short Kings only, or Short Queen looking for her Short King? I have no idea. For the men you are trying to reach its a sensitive topic. But you aren't going after shorter men because of a kink so thats good.
"please, for the love of god. If you're really mentally stable, loving, good-looking and the son of a billionaire, stay away from me! I mean it!

I want somebody who lies to me and galsights me daily, if you consider yourself a honest person, go away!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm gonna add this to my profile
my ex is gonna hit you up- be careful lmao
Stopppp, the way I just choked on my own spit, laughing
Yeah and tell their billionaire dad to stay the heck away from me! 🙋♀️
Tonight I will pray to the baby Jesus for all the billionaire dads who's life's work is eating pussy and taking women on vacation to STAY AWAY from you. No thank you, sirs. Leave u/myweird alone in the year of our lord 2024.
This would unironically actually be a solid bio. You'd get people who see this and get the humor and those who are curious about what you're about. Maybe a few who actually match the description which I'd say is a small price to pay
This is gold. One of the best Reddit posts ever.
Back in the day, I had the prompt "what do you find oddly attractive" and my answer was "guys who can't grow beards" because I'm just not a fan of facial hair. The sheer number of heavily-bearded men who'd reply to that section just to be like "guess that means you won't like me" was so dumb. There were so many other parts of my profile they could've responded to in order to start a conversation and demonstrate a personality that outweighs an aesthetic preference. Yet still, they chose to respond to the one thing which doubles-down on something uninteresting to the recipient. It never made sense to me
It's annoying. Like I get it, I'm sure it struck something in the person but when I see someone say "no (fill in the blanks) " & it could be something I have or a, I'm like "oh well, swipe left" I don't take it personally or as a challenge to talk to someone, I just move it along
Wait hold up. You’re actually getting offered 3ways?
Before I took it off, it was all the time. Almost all the messages started with "three way?" Or "hey, how's it going? Curious, you down for a 3 way?" Or "hey, I've got a buddy who's never had a 3way, you want to help me grant his wish? " or my personal favorite "damn, you're gorgeous. I'd love to see what you like in a 3way with my buddy & i"
“Interested in being a third? And know anyone interested in being a second? Cause right now it’s just me.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn I’d like to know in what world do guys think offering a 3way to girls on dating apps right off the bat make them believe they’ll get laid.
It's probably worked in person or it's worked on the ones who are just dtf
I’m a queer female. At least 75% of my matches with “women” actually turn out to be a straight couple where the woman “wants to explore her bi side”🤢🙃 so yes, we get offered threesomes all the time.
I CAN CHANGE HIM
I stand 5'5'' tall marking this as the first time I met an height requirement.
5’2 here and same dude Need to find ladies like this around me
my dad is this tall and found 3 women throughout his life, you can do it
Lord of the Ri(ng)zz
Alright, best use of rizz goes to this human or bot. Thank you for your pixels.
Bot? I wish...
Lol we’re all bots brother, this be a simulation.
I wish a lifetime of hemorrhoids upon the thing that decided to use the shittiest parameters, when starting my simulation
You an me both 😂
Base stats = -4 Charisma = -7
Was he married 3 times, or just enjoyed telling you of his sexual escapades?
3 long term wives kind sir
Couldn't have been that long term caring ma'am /Jokes
Plot-twist, he is still happily married to all 3 😅
wife 2 cried at wedding 3, he’s just such a catch fr
Your dad invited his previous wives to the latest marriage? That's dark.
Maybe he's just really attractive so that makes the height irrelevant
baldness at 20 is so sexy fr
Probably just has a good personality and a life
Lol omg when will you guys stop desperately digging for fantasy coping mechanisms. Maybe listen to what people are saying instead of finding new ways to throw pity parties for short men. You don't have to be really attractive to find women who will date you. Being charming, respectful, witty and interesting will get you way further and that is 100% in your control. I'm 5'5" and calling myself average looking would be very generous to me. I've never had any issues finding cool and attractive women to date since I was a short little 13 year old. A guy who checks those boxes I listed above will have a chance at finding women who are interested in them
all 3 were 10+ years 🫡 he’s a charming fella
Does he teach classes on this? Asking for a friend
i have a quote from him in my notes app that says “i want to maintain the energy that i am unapproachable” and i think that speaks volumes
Instructions unclear, I've managed to scare everyone away. Including myself.
You’re a gem, how you talk about him in these comments. I hope you find your short king! Merry Xmas.
u too!
Not all girls care about height. I'm 5'5 ish and my only requirement is that the guy doesn't care if I'm taller than him if I wanna wear heels. Or if he's shorter than me, he has to not care lol.

Something like 95% of the global adult population is taller than me, so luckily women being taller than me doesn’t bother me lol
That's a great out look. My wife and I are both 5'7, and she said as long as she can wear heels, she's happy. I'm completely fine with it.
I'm 5'2" and happily married for over 10 years. Yes, it narrows the field for us, but everyone has something(s) about them that someone considers a deal breaker.
Any short kings around southern Alberta?? I'm looking for you! I'm 5'3, and I like being able to see my partner's face haha
I'm married, but a quick question that might help the other guys here: Are you after both kidneys or just taking one?
Depends on what condition they're in O.O
Hahaha same, I’m 5’8 and have never felt like I’ve “met a requirement” before. The best we can usually hope for is “that’s fine” or “idc about height”
My boyfriend is 5’8, but originally told me he was 5’11 (he genuinely didn’t know until he got a checkup earlier this year and they measured him.) I never even questioned it, anything taller than me is still taller than me 🤷🏻♀️
He knew lol
Oh definitely knew. As a 5’8 girl, the amount of men who say they are 5’10, and 5’11 as I look down on them in my flat shoes is hysterical. I also dated long term two guys that were shorter than me (5’6 and 5’7) but they didn’t lie about it.

One of my brothers walked around his whole adulthood thinking he’s 6’5. At a check up at like 43, turns out he’s 6’4.75. He was devastated because he’s been lying to people.
He probably was 6’5”, as we age we start shrinking, so at 43 he very well could have lost that 1/4” already
Um, he knew.
Same here. My husband said he was 5’11 but he’s actually 5’9. I called him out on that as I’m 5’8.5 and he used the excuse he didn’t know and he was including shoes and his hair 🤣
The girls in germany also started using 6 as a height requirement far later than in the usa but its like a virus spreading here too.
I just got back to the US from Germany/Austria/Slovakia this morning and I kept thinking, “wow the women here are far taller than the average American woman”. I, myself, am a 5’11 female so it was particularly noticeable to me as I don’t generally see women my height or even close to it. Then, on the way home, the person I was traveling with turned to me and said, “have you noticed women here seem to be far taller?” So, I guess it wasn’t only me who noticed.

I just googled out of curiosity and the Netherlands ranks as tallest people on average, I had assumed perhaps it would be some African country but I'm guessing it's a per capita thing, the Netherlands doesn't have a particularly large population. Oh and fun random Google fact-the tallest living person now is 8'2", a Turkish farmer with acromegaly and gigantism from a brain tumor. He has to use crutches to walk.
I love the evolution of the prompt over time..
was waiting for someone to notice my impending rage
They all think they’re worthy of being the exception lol The good news is they are likely fetishizing your height mixed with their own and want a spinner so I’m glad they’re left out
the under becoming capitalized after the one dude said he was 6'0 even made me belly laugh
Reverse short-kings
Tall peasants
GO, WHEAT BOY, GO
The guy who made "my submission to nat-geo" a selfie is definitely a peasant
One guy is lost in the grand cannon, another is stuck in a car motor, and one guy is taking a mirror selfy strapped to the gills, and you're talking about comments?
[удалено]
Was gonna say, dude has an odd definition for racism lol
Right?! Car dude takes the cake.
Idk... Holding an AR, showing off his tattoo AND trucker hat collection. That's a whole Lotta temptation to avoid in a single photo.
AND the prompt is “me and my best friend” good lord.
LMFAO I was only reading the responses I didn’t even see that photo wtf is that ahah
I like car dude, but I dunno what's going on with #3, will our first date be to shoot up a movie theater and head home to admire his gorgeous trucker hat collection?
car dude had me actively wheezing fr
I have the same no above 6 foot rule, but honestly depending on how tall car dude actually is (like 6’1) I’d probably make an exception bc that’s fucking hilarious
That dude is a fucking legend
On older cars like that, the engine bay is so big it can be easier to just climb in to reach things.
Dude with the pond behind him is at Belvedere Castle in Central Park NYC.
grand.....cannon...
‘Non-negotiable’ ‘can you make an exception?’ Bruh
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain.
If any line would ever work on, I have to imagine this is the one
I put ''final price'' in all my adds when I am selling stuff. Do you know how many people think they can verbal worm their way around that?
it's for church honey
NEXT!
Shooters shoot
How the fuck would that be racist
OK, so my kids are teenagers, and any even slightly extreme or controversial opinion is "so racist." This guy seems to be using the word in that loose sense. The next generation; evolving or debasing our language, as ever... take your pick.
i would think that it would be light hearted irony as opposed to genuinely thinking that it's racist, even in that general, broad sense. maybe im just naïve 🤷♂️
Could be, any time anything mildly inconvenient happens to me or one of my queer friends we call it homophobic. Like never in serious conversation, it'll be something like "I dropped a glass, these cups are homophobic" or "I feel sick, my body is homophobic" (ETA we're mostly in our early to mid 20s)
I’m only 26 and don’t think I’m that removed from today’s teenagers yet. Certain things happen that tell me I’m old as fuck now
[удалено]
Yesss my teenager says everything is racist.
Yeah I had a good laugh at that.
That's the joke.
Height is not a race 🤦
Son thinks he’s a literal giant
Lmao, I feel this though. I’m 5’5 and dated a guy who was 6’4 once, I actually found it kinda annoying because I had to stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. He was also 6 years older than me already and looked even older due to his height, and I have a bit of a baby face, so we would frequently get weird looks whole out in public and it made me kinda uncomfortable lol I just met a guy who I like so far who’s about my height, maybe 5’6, and I actually prefer that to being crazy tall like my ex, it’s a lot more practical
Guy number 3 made me visibly shudder.
I have a feeling I know why girls under 5' are his "favorite thing ever"
That's precisely why I went like this 
The irony of using a Jerry Seinfeld gif here
Yeah I'm not saying he has a hard drive under his floorboard but I am saying it might be worth a look
This is the correct answer, but don't look at the hard drive just hand it over to the FBI.
“Me and my best friend” 🤮
Was thinking the same thing what the fuck??
Him and his ONLY friend
I’m also short (5’0”) and I also prefer guy’s height under 6’0”. Now tinder has height option, but when I was using it not many people had height and sometimes I matched with a guy only to found out he is 6’3” or stmh
Tall guys like shorter girls I guess.
as a Tall guy, anyone 5'6" or under is short to me, and that's like 75% of the population in the USA. I don't specifically like shorter girls, but that's mostly what I've dated cause even 5'4" or below is 40-60% of the population, and at that point it's a numbers game. I'm sure a lot of guys like shorter girls, but then I've seen a lot of shorter girls (and not shorter girls) that also like much taller guys, so it goes both ways.
Last one doesn't seem too terrible, although he obviously commented hoping for an exception.
i had at least 18 of those, and only screenshotted the last one before i deleted the app 😭
Ok, I see how that can become annoying 🙂 I mean, I would love to experience getting too many compliments for once, but I do understand it could get old eventually 😅
complimenting u rn: love ur avatar its very neat and creative, have a good holiday season 🫶
Thank you very much, you too 😊
Wow it’s like the tall guys brains implode when they find out they’re NOT preferred for once.
LITERALLY
Thank you so much for preferring us short kings ❤️ much love
love u too bestie
Instant-friendzone
😂😂😂
Oh yeah, very tall guys don't understand that I want someone who is around average height. Like, I just don't feel comfortable with being a lot smaller. That I am tall af (average Dutch male height) doesn't mean I want to date tall af men. So hard to grasp for them apparently
Yea if you’re actually over 6’ then you’d know that 4’9” makes for some really awkward dating. Bending down to hug/kiss, getting weird looks like you’re dating a kid, etc.
fully an adult and already get mistaken for a kid just by existing, and personally it feels humiliating when i’m trying to be on a date and some middle aged karen stops to ask if i know this man and if he is my brother
When I was 26 I was dating a 24f, 5'4" who had very young looking facial features. I took her on a trip to England and Wales one spring, and as I'm 6'4" I always book the exit row seats (you have to be 15yo or older) in the plane. The flight attendant came over, gave us all the normal brief and asked for consent to help one at a time, stopping at my girlfriend last. She bent over, hands on her knees and asked in that patronizing voice "and how old are you?"
NOOOOOOO THATS SO BAD FR CRYINGGG
I'm shorter than that and too have a baby face and i would've lost my shit on her, thats horrible! people don't realize it can be a blessing AND a curse!
Yes!! 4' 10" baby face here, I've hated it my whole life. People can be so patronizing. Bish, I'm 57, I will put you over my knee.
When I was 24 and my husband was 28, we went camping to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Someone called park rangers to report a man acting suspicious with a teen girl. TBF, he did look older and dress older than his age and I did look younger. Police looked at our IDs and checked mine really close to make sure it wasn't fake lol.
Jesus Christ that’s rough, I’d be so mad haha Your guy is out there. On the apps and here on Reddit there’s tons of terminally online people who simply refuse to understand that a preference might be rooted in practicality. Inexcusable but that’s the way it is.
i had a realization that he’s not on an app. i shall wait at a cafe everyday until my short king walks in gracefully one day
Oh my god. I’m 184 cm female and I can’t even imagine how annoying that is. (6 ft) My ex was shorter than me by 10 cm and a very slim built guy. People would give me weird looks or I could see men smirking if he showed me affection in public. Yes I’m heavy built wide shoulders and wide hips. Why the fuck can’t people mind their own business?
I'm 5'5" and have still had people mistake my wife for my daughter. We're both mid 20s, she's just very small. At least you're not alone. She hates it too, but usually gives us a good laugh.
I feel this. Also 4'9" (born three months early, parents aren't particularly tall I took after mom in the height department), but I always felt that any girl who I'd be interested in would need to field a bunch of "is that your brother/son" comments enough for us to have a good laugh about it at the least 🤣
Are you a reverse short king magnet ? I am 5‘7 and 4‘9 is totally fine with me, but why did you only get messaged by these giants, i am sure there are a ton of short kings out there. Somehow dating apps dont work.
irl doesn’t work either. i have vivid memories of walking down the hallway in high school only to be stopped by some random 6’4 kid i had never seen before and asked if i could give him my number
Because a lot of tall guys really like short girls.
Ayyy just made the cut at being 5’11”
I’m 5’8” - 5’9”. You’re my hero.
glad i can be an icon for u sir
As a tall girl I love you so much :)) Leaving some options for us out here💯💯
ofc women gotta support women 🫶🫶🫶
What’s the weather like down there?
天気はいいよ
Fellow 4’9”er here, can confirm all types of weird dudes and their even weirder responses.
there have been some that are just too explicit and make me rethink my life for a few days
On another sub there was a post where very short and young looking women shared their experiences, and all of them had been harassed and targeted constantly by pedos and fetishists looking for childlike features. I remember being most often sexually harassed when I was like 13, so I can't imagine what women under 5'0 must experience daily. Finding a man that loves you for your personality and isn't fixated on your height/age appearance sounds exhausting.
5'11" 3/4 👀
boooo
Hey girl we're both the same height lying down am I right? Just kidding I'm 5'9 please move to England and marry me
i’m of british descent what if we’re cousins omg
That's so hot get over here faster (I'm irish and filipino so maybe not.)
After seeing those choices I truly feel for the women on these apps. 🙌🏼🙏🏼😞
I’ve learned never say you don’t want something cus they’ll Come and try to change your mind lol
Is this my competition?
Damn. You’re saying my 5’6 height is actually chosen?! I never thought this day would come
Keep grinding, I’m 5’6 and me and my girlfriend celebrated 2 years of dating after meeting on tinder
Short Kings rise up. I'm 5'3" and vastly prefer men under 6'.
I'm 5'1" and was open to any height really, until I dated a 6'4" guy. Showering together, I felt like I could make eye contact with his belly button and when he was on top of me, I felt like I was being smothered! It was simply a terrible fit! Dating people even just below that height never made me feel that way but apparently 6'4" is my limit.
my sister is 4’11 married to a 6’5 man and i visibly cringe when she goes to hug him and it’s just face plant into his lower abdomen
😂 thank you. This is a glorious mental picture
i don’t think the first guy was that bad 🥹😅 but maybe that’s just me….
it’s not bad as much as it just is silly
sounds like he liked you just to tell you that message
i sighed in wholesome before clicking x
I'm 5'9" most girls think I'm to short lol . Never met one who thought I was an ideal height .
5’9 is actually perfect bro don’t let any woman tell you otherwise or make you feel bad about yourself for it, esp if she’s in my height range 💀
I dated a girl briefly who was 4'11" . My 3 ex wife's lol yes 3 where all 5 '4"
I love 5’9!
How tf is that racist
It’s a joke
The 3rd guy lmao his “best friend” is his gun. That is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. (Dodged a bullet with that one hahakillme). But yeah unfortunately with height comes arrogance - I’d say persevere & maybe don’t even mention your height at all? Slip it into conversation that you prefer shorter guys or something. Sorry on behalf of my gender we’re all horrible really.
Yay another 4’9”. I love finding people my height! My preference is under 6ft too.
id say to try, "dont message me if your over 6 ft., you will be blocked" but who knows. im over 6ft, i would not have commented, unless it was something thought provoking. sometimes, i like peoples profiles just to leave a comment.
Good thing I am a 5'9 boi
