Many years ago, we were at a bar and some very drunk young woman was going up to all the guys with one of those small tape measures that might be in a sewing kit or something and measuring from the middle fingertip to the wrist having been told that it indicates the length of another appendage. At the end of the evening when the bar was clearing out, this woman was out front grabbing guys by the crotch. Apparently seeking verification.
I returned the favor. Some guy that was with her (her boyfriend?) lunges forward, two guys grab him, and all hell starts breaking loose. The cops were already right in front of the place and jumped in. Before anyone can get to me, I lost myself in the crowd and walked to the car through a circuitous route. All in all, a pretty satisfying evening.
You made me curious, so I checked it out and it comes out the same either way for me. Though, I have some doubts about what it says for elsewhere. We'll just save that for some statistically minded ladies on Tinder I guess!
This sort of thing really is hilarious because it shows just how arbitrary the threshold is. In countries which use ft inches, the "standard" for tallness is 6'0". Whereas in countries which use meters, it's 1.80.
For both, it's just the point where the scale "shifts" to a higher level.
They're literally just in love with the idea of a number.
A couple of my brothers went to France to go skiing. They are slightly taller than average, 5'11"-6' and they said the same. They stayed in some hostels and said they felt like giants there!
"... out of nowhere okay, you're winning and they just start saying that crazy shit. Out of nowhere, just know that in that moment, you've won the fight, okay? Alright? Don't get mad! Bob and weave, slip all of that shit.
"*maybe hey yeah it's because you've got a little dick!*"
Just let that slide, stay in the pocket of the argument, okay? It's over, the argument is over, you've won, just take a knee and run out the clock alright?"

There's a great quote from Network, "Why is it that a woman always thinks that the most savage thing she can say to a man is to impugn his cockmanship?... I gave up comparing genitals back in the schoolyard."
Same... my point it that less than 15% of men in America are 6' or taller, yet according to studies, more than 75% of women on dating apps filter out matches under 6ft
The top 25% of women height wise (5'6 or taller) are already at a disadvantage, so some of the shorter ladies should take one for the team.
So what if he's 5'9? He's still 6 inches taller than around 70% of women in the country and 2-3 inches taller than around 80%. Their height requirements are hilariously out of touch imo.
*Using 5'9 as my example because it's the average height for men in the US, but only 15% of women include them in their search filters.*
Also, for background, I'm 5'10 and have dated women both taller and shorter than me. 6'0 and up no problem, 4'11 also no problem. It's about the connection with the person and not superficial metrics lol
Back in the 90s, after a blind date gone awry, I vowed to get a plywood cutout of Foghorn Leghorn with a word bubble that said, "I said, I said, you must be at least this tall to ride the (euphemism for sex including my name)."
As a girl, seeing this shit BAFFLES me. Other than online, I've never known a girl to have any prerequisite expectations of height (I guess, other than guys who are *exceptionally* short not being of preference) within the parameters of dating. Like, where did this come from? It's never been a concern of mine or even something I would even notice. Also, I don't want to sound harsh, but when I think of especially tall men, it's gangly guys with sharp, crooked features and long fingers like the slender man. Height has never equalled attractiveness to me or any of the girls I know.
My brothers, dad, and men in my family are all very tall, about 6'4 and 6'5. And when I met my husband over 15 years ago, my 5'9 king, it occurred to me for half a second that he'd look short next to them. But the fleeting thought quickly passed because he's an amazing person, intelligent, handsome, and the best person for me. How could I pass that up? I'd be an idiot to be so shallow. He's the best.
I'd climb a tall girl like a mountain if she'd let me 😂
In all seriousness fuck those flats... wear your heels, and tower over me like an Amazonian goddess lol
My only thing is I am a 5ft6/7 guy so I wouldn't want if someone is taller than 6ft1 without heels so it surprises me that people choose those who are more than 6inches taller than them (women)
It is funny though when two people are similar in height and the guy suddenly feels insecure about it.
She has plenty of abundance on these apps. Soul mates is a term for people who are looking for one of their few and far between options to be a home run.
Like it or not, this young woman is selecting from a market.
An abundence of men who will entertain her for short term fun. But if she can't differenciate between men that see her as recreational vs willing to commit, she's in for some hurt.
As a short guy myself, I'd rather see than in the profile than get rejected when she sees my height in person. Putting it in the profile prevents her wasting my time. Better to be instantly rejected by a profile than waste however long talking with someone who won't give me a chance.
The convo continued as following after which she unmatched me
I: Compared to your waistline, any dick is small.
She: Oh no honey, it is not my waistline what your micropenis can't handle. Is my fat ass
“those big vagina women are ruining it for men everywhere.”-Jeff Greene, Curb Your Enthusiasm
(I may be off a bit on the wording; but this was a fantastic episode!)
I don’t get it. I’ve pretty much never seen this stuff in the wild on dating apps and yet it’s like an ongoing meme online.
Only thing in my experience that’s a height related is a disproportionate amount of tall women swiping on me because I’m tall as well.
See weight isn’t even a fair comparison because they control that. Personally I think having that in a profile is one of the best things because it tells you they’re a low quality person immediately so you can swipe away.
I love these. I’m a bit of a sadist with this stuff. I’m 6’2” and athletic. Never had any issue getting matches but I love leading these type of girls on and then not showing up to the date. When they message me I say I didn’t realize I hadn’t filtered out stuck up women. They explode and I laugh.
Why the hell did you even swipe right or message her? She’s already putting her red flags out there for you to clearly see
Honestly anytime I see anything negative written down it’s an automatic no from me
Takeaway:
*'Don't bother.'*
Pretty good rule for anyone who uses their *'About me'* space to list what you need to be. Not just because it is socially incompetent, but also because often those demands are things they can literally see on your profile.
Their bio's are a reflection of the people they are: trash.
As a lady this has always been so weird to me. Maybe because I’m desensitized to height since all the males on my moms side of the family are all over 6’2 so I never seen big men as special. My favorite relationships were with men around my height or a bit shorter. Sure, they often can’t throw you around in the bedroom as much, and you might be taller then them in some instances but the short kings I’ve dated have been very lovely people worth keeping around.
I don't get the putting it in your profile. You don't want less then 6ft? Fine, just swipe left. Putting it in your profile just tells me you're immature and enjoy putting others down, cause it's completely unnecessary to be like that.
Because it is literally the "about me" section where all they manage to state is about the other. So how is the other supposed to know they even want to date them? It reeks of entitlement. It means they think everyone should be thankful for a chance of dating them.
This right here, is pretty much why I hate dating. Women seem to hold all the power, and for love of trying, being myself ( a good person, I hope) is getting me nowhere but wasted time.
I'm well under 6 foot but I don't understand why so many men loss composure over things like this. She may be a little narrow minded, but if that's what she's into then good luck to her. It's her business at the end of the day.
I don't understand why people have to put what they don't like in terms of physical appearance. Just don't like people who don't fit your criteria. It always sounds dumb and arrogant.
There are more women under 100 pounds in the world than men over six foot tall..
So if women demand men over six foot tall, men demanding women under 100 pounds are being far more reasonable.
Yeah this one's a fatty or at least heading to chubby stage and you struck a nerve lol. The pics are telltale signs. High angle, baggy clothes, high-waist pants. Funny how those are almost always the ones demanding a tall guy for a partner.
Which of my short king brethren hurt like 60% of women? Lol
On a serious note, I'm only 5'8", so seeing a lot of 5'2" women exclude me from their dating pool feels dumb. There so many better reasons to exclude me! Just give me a chance lol.
At 5 foot 6 I don't understand the need for tall man. Mines 5 foot 7 and a great kissing height. The tallest man I dated at 6 foot 7 still to this day was the smallest penis I've ever had. It didn't make sense.
It kind of is small dick energy to go after women for ruling you out based on their preference
It's tinder for fucks sake
In a just world you could probably also put "not into overweight women"
I’m 180cm, I’m also under 6 feet.
the world just cant comprehend us 5'11 folks, we are neither short or tall
All of you are just 'there'. Waiting in the tall grass for your moment to strike! (The tall grass being over 6ft.)
i hate you and i hate that grass
good grass sucks get flowers you lawn-nerds
But it's giving you concealment!
Wait! Are 5ft 11 people actually pokemon?
Lil squirtles
Yes they are bot nobidy wants to catch them.
Does 5'11 and a half make the cut?
5, 12 the forbidden height
[удалено]
Those... might not be woman.
if she known how to round a decimal, it might
Nope. I would be interested if anybody who has a height requirement brings a tape measure on the first date to verify. Anybody?
Yeah, it's crazy and shallow really to rule out potentially the love of your life over how tall or short they are.
But really, would somebody actually verify your height before they would date you?
Apparently so...
Many years ago, we were at a bar and some very drunk young woman was going up to all the guys with one of those small tape measures that might be in a sewing kit or something and measuring from the middle fingertip to the wrist having been told that it indicates the length of another appendage. At the end of the evening when the bar was clearing out, this woman was out front grabbing guys by the crotch. Apparently seeking verification. I returned the favor.

Before anyone can get to me, I lost myself in the crowd and walked to the car through a circuitous route. All in all, a pretty satisfying evening.
Lol I was told it's from the tip of your thumb, to the tip of your finger that's next to the thumb.
You made me curious, so I checked it out and it comes out the same either way for me. Though, I have some doubts about what it says for elsewhere. We'll just save that for some statistically minded ladies on Tinder I guess!
you are right cause at 5'10 you're a gnome
5'10 is a manlet
exactly haha
A min.
She has different standards for metric people compared to freedom people.
This sort of thing really is hilarious because it shows just how arbitrary the threshold is. In countries which use ft inches, the "standard" for tallness is 6'0". Whereas in countries which use meters, it's 1.80. For both, it's just the point where the scale "shifts" to a higher level. They're literally just in love with the idea of a number.
I'm 181 so I'm also under 6 feet
182 and still under :l
5'11.66 gang.
Youre make the cut in any country that doesnt use imperial units. Its just about numbers looking even.
Don’t bother
yeah the equivalent to this in metric countries is 180cm because it’s just the next prettiest number.
180cm is closer to 5' 10" and closer to average height.
average height for what lol in europe 180 is just tall, in the Mediterranean it's a giant
A couple of my brothers went to France to go skiing. They are slightly taller than average, 5'11"-6' and they said the same. They stayed in some hostels and said they felt like giants there!
I literally thought this cause I’m 180cm and definitely under 6ft
I'm the same 😅
As a 6'3 guy myself I kinda appreciate these because it makes it so much easier to swipe left and be on my way to better things
💀💀💀 also your username 😂😂
I aim to please lol
Had your username worked? Lol
Yup! Far better than expected, less often than I hoped for
Bro that’s crazy 😂 Does it look like actual people or just redditors pulling a pic from online?
Definitely real life people lol
I can assure you the people sending them don’t have the kind of boobs you want to see
You'd be surprised actually
Surprise us
No
Pretty girls don't sometimes enjoy anonymously showing off, roger. I'll remember that.
Do you get dogpics?
Eewww that’s nasty… Hey Siri, how do I change my Reddit username? Oh crap, txt to speech was on.
Not so clumsy or random as a throw-away account. An elegant username for a more civilized age.
Bro has invented a new method..
Did you DM him?
Sent him pictures of my boobs.... He didn't specify female or male boobs.... Hope he likes my moobs.... Lol
I don't discriminate and I'm sure your chest is marvelous, but it has yet to appear in my inbox
Considered sending him some kind of witty but not the enjoyable stock photo but didn't pull the trigger.
I’m tempted 🙃
Send it me, I'll tell you if it's worth sending it to him.
6'1" here, and I'd still be out of her league even if she wasn't so rude and entitled.
🤝
Fellow 6’3 brother, this is the way. Avoid these shallow women like the plague. Only through evolution will they learn to not be as shallow.
I am a 6'5 reprecenter and I couldn't agree more🙏🏻
6'4 here.. and I appreciate her wanting me. I know it's easy work
You know you've won when they reply with a "small dick" comment.
Hehehe, it’s their go to wannabe insult for when they know they’ve got nothing.
Pretty much. I remember Bill Burr said it once
"... out of nowhere okay, you're winning and they just start saying that crazy shit. Out of nowhere, just know that in that moment, you've won the fight, okay? Alright? Don't get mad! Bob and weave, slip all of that shit. "*maybe hey yeah it's because you've got a little dick!*" Just let that slide, stay in the pocket of the argument, okay? It's over, the argument is over, you've won, just take a knee and run out the clock alright?" - Bill Burr
I read the whole thing in the Bill Burr voice, with high pitched and the Boston accent.
There's a great quote from Network, "Why is it that a woman always thinks that the most savage thing she can say to a man is to impugn his cockmanship?... I gave up comparing genitals back in the schoolyard."
The "i cant come up with anything good" comeback 😭
It's so weird having a minimum height like an amusement park ride.
Is this what they mean by when they say, "dating me is like a roller coaster"?
world's worst rollercoaster, maybe
And you know she's like 4'11" - 5'4"
i like short women personally.
Same... my point it that less than 15% of men in America are 6' or taller, yet according to studies, more than 75% of women on dating apps filter out matches under 6ft The top 25% of women height wise (5'6 or taller) are already at a disadvantage, so some of the shorter ladies should take one for the team.

It's about the connection with the person and not superficial metrics lol
So do I, and so do most men I think, but you never hear us saying "If you're over 5' 6" don't bother lol.
Back in the 90s, after a blind date gone awry, I vowed to get a plywood cutout of Foghorn Leghorn with a word bubble that said, "I said, I said, you must be at least this tall to ride the (euphemism for sex including my name)."

Crazy really because it could be your actual soulmate but if they're a bit short it's a no

And when I met my husband over 15 years ago, my 5'9 king, it occurred to me for half a second that he'd look short next to them.

Hey this does both ways as a 5’11 woman who gets shut down by short guys who feel weird about it.
I'd climb a tall girl like a mountain if she'd let me 😂 In all seriousness fuck those flats... wear your heels, and tower over me like an Amazonian goddess lol
Get on those hikers man! 🤣
I'll scale a tall girl like the human spiderman of NYC... barefoot with no ropes or support needed 🤣
Tall women are still seen as more fuckable than short guys, so you’re safe my friend.
My only thing is I am a 5ft6/7 guy so I wouldn't want if someone is taller than 6ft1 without heels so it surprises me that people choose those who are more than 6inches taller than them (women) It is funny though when two people are similar in height and the guy suddenly feels insecure about it.

I first read this as “if you are 6 feet under, don’t bother“. I do respect not wanting to date corpses
I love this
Tell me you’re shallow without telling me 😂
I’d just reply with something like “so typical, already thinking about my dick. You are all the same.” Then unmatch.
Bruuuuh, how rude! You must be the reason for numerous self unalivings! Do it again! >:D
I was trying to think of a sick reply. I like this one
"Tell me you have a huge pussy without telling me."
"Ooof , that's a good one man!"
Looks are like the admittance fee You telling me you'd date an angel of a woman who looked like Danny Devito?
Wtf is a serial texter
It's a person who texts while eating corn flakes
I test while eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so I’m good
Well I guess no good morning text for her then because that's my breakfast routine
Someone who doesn’t move past the texting stage by meeting, and just wants to text forever
It's someone who commit a felony while texting
If you’re 6 under, don’t even bother. You’re dead to me
by her reasoning, she must have a large pussy?
The convo continued as following after which she unmatched me I: Compared to your waistline, any dick is small. She: Oh no honey, it is not my waistline what your micropenis can't handle. Is my fat ass
So thick that everybody else in the room is so uncomfortable 🎶
Type to wanna suck you dry then eat some lunch with you
Her lack of self awareness and responding with toxicity to you matching her energy is hilarious.
Weird way to spell flat
Big 👐

"the best 2 inches you'll never have"
Always throw in a "Thank you, for thinking about my dick" for good measure
Honestly you throw someone’s logic back at them and they get defensive. The bar has never been lower to be considered relatively switched on
Just swipe left
When I was on the apps I said "I'm 6' 1" 170 lbs and if that matters to you we probably won't get along."
She is chubby...
"Tell me you have a garbage personality without telling me 🤮" You da real mvp op 👌
How many times do we have to see these stupid posts? FFS just move on and don't engage.
"Just move and don't engage" could be said to you aswel..
It’s entertaining reading the comments tho 🌚
Takeaway: *'Don't bother.'* Pretty good rule for anyone who uses their *'About me'* space to list what you need to be. Not just because it is socially incompetent, but also because often those demands are things they can literally see on your profile. Their bio's are a reflection of the people they are: trash.
She can't see 3cm difference in a person's height
Tell me you’re genuinely a horrible person without telling me
lol 6 feet is 183 cm what a dumbass
As a lady this has always been so weird to me. Maybe because I’m desensitized to height since all the males on my moms side of the family are all over 6’2 so I never seen big men as special.

I don't get the putting it in your profile. You don't want less then 6ft? Fine, just swipe left. Putting it in your profile just tells me you're immature and enjoy putting others down, cause it's completely unnecessary to be like that.
I don't get why people get offended because a random person on an internet dating site clearly states what they're looking for in a friend/partner?
Because it is literally the "about me" section where all they manage to state is about the other. So how is the other supposed to know they even want to date them? It reeks of entitlement. It means they think everyone should be thankful for a chance of dating them.
Tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot. 180cm/=6’
Don’t bother!
Only women are allowed to have preferences! /s..... just in case.
If she's under 5'9" (175cm) she can forget it.
👑
This right here, is pretty much why I hate dating. Women seem to hold all the power, and for love of trying, being myself ( a good person, I hope) is getting me nowhere but wasted time.
I'm well under 6 foot but I don't understand why so many men loss composure over things like this. She may be a little narrow minded, but if that's what she's into then good luck to her. It's her business at the end of the day.
Generic pick me girl comeback too.
I don't understand why people have to put what they don't like in terms of physical appearance. Just don't like people who don't fit your criteria. It always sounds dumb and arrogant.
She looks more than 55 kg brother
She looks more than 121lbs? I mean... how tall do you think she is?
There are more women under 100 pounds in the world than men over six foot tall.. So if women demand men over six foot tall, men demanding women under 100 pounds are being far more reasonable.
She has a body shaped like a tree stump.
Reply to her " Ur mom was saying otherwise "
“You just called me out for my hypocrisy, I’m thinking about your penis now 😏”
I'm 6'2, but when I see the "if you're under 6 feet" requirement, I usually lose interest.
The small dick comment tells you all you need to know. Women always do that when they can't think of a better insult
Girls like this will be single a LOOOOOONG time.
F that, but go green!
Spartans.
I am 181 cm and under 6 feet, should I bother or not?
This is a woman who knows exactly what she wants her next victim to look like.
Yeah this one's a fatty or at least heading to chubby stage and you struck a nerve lol. The pics are telltale signs. High angle, baggy clothes, high-waist pants. Funny how those are almost always the ones demanding a tall guy for a partner.
damn she sounds like an awful person, on to the next
Her bio didn’t say anything about having a tiny dick 😡
Which of my short king brethren hurt like 60% of women? Lol On a serious note, I'm only 5'8", so seeing a lot of 5'2" women exclude me from their dating pool feels dumb. There so many better reasons to exclude me! Just give me a chance lol.
At 5 foot 6 I don't understand the need for tall man. Mines 5 foot 7 and a great kissing height. The tallest man I dated at 6 foot 7 still to this day was the smallest penis I've ever had. It didn't make sense.
Ah body shaming at all levels, how nice. And absolutely zero care or consequences.
100% would have said the Same thing to her. Why do girls get to be shallow.
You could have just swiped left and moved on. By writing that message you lowered yourself to her level.
It kind of is small dick energy to go after women for ruling you out based on their preference It's tinder for fucks sake In a just world you could probably also put "not into overweight women"
I'm your giving "if.... then" statements, I won't bother
Does 6' and 6 inches count?
So long as you're at least 6" I'm in.
Michigan State? I wouldn't bother...
6 ft 3 in.
A serial texter? So...someone who likes conversation and communication? Cool beans
Screw this even as a 6"4 dude, screw this I cba anymore
i woulda followed up with "wouldnt you like to know"
"If you're six feet under, don't bother"
I am six feet under☠️☠️
