Girls, Ladies, do you use height filters on dating apps? If so, what do you set them to?

there's no such thing as a “height filter”
Most men just put that in their bio and it’s typically not that hard to physically see a guy is probably smaller sized in his pic but also sometimes not but if it’s full body fs can at least i can.
I wouldn’t date anyone shorter than 5,8 and I’m 5,6 so I’m not being too crazy with height here.

Well actually on many apps there are sliders to put your desired height range in. What would be "being too crazy with height" be if not setting a height that is a deal breaker?

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

Really what dating app is that? Because bumble and tinder definitely aren’t those.

[Asker]

Hinge, tinder and bumble have them as paid features. Match. com even has race filters

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

Wtf? 😬 so you get these types of paid features? Are you serious? 😭 can you provide screenshots of any maybe? If you can this is actually really really serious and can honestly be extremely bad for those sites to actually be Allowing.

"Today, many women on dating apps ask men for their height, for instance — so often, in fact, that men began volunteering this information on their profiles, even if the profile doesn’t have a field for height. Often, sober people don’t want to match with people who say they drink regularly. Non-smokers generally want to date the same. And so on. But over-filtering could lead to users missing out — after all, how important is the star sign, really, or whether they have pets? (Allergies notwithstanding, of course.)

On the dating side of Bumble, the new filters include height, exercise, star sign, education, drinking, smoking, pets, relationship type, family plans, religion and political leaning."

Been on the app for four months now, although I did stop in between. Shockingly the height preference/dealbreaker is now a premium feature which was the whole basis for me using the app, so I don't have to sift through so many profiles like on Tinder, I can filter to different preferences. I think this is a huge deal, it allows anywhere between 3'0 to 7'0.. you can't even put a range. I am now getting spammed with likes from profiles I don't even want to see, I'm just speaking the truth for anyone who gets offended. It's overwhelming. Well, I had my time on this app but I don't want to pay for a subscription for a feature that I feel is very basic.

i was wrong about tinder sorry.

the reddit post for hinge was interesting, many women were offended that the height filter was made premium. I'm not high enough level to include images or links but i'll be happy to PM them to you with your permission

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

Yes send them to me, this can't be real ;/ I refuse to believe they allow this to happen it’s definitely wrong?

[EriFrancis1994]

Nope lol why would I?

[Asker]

Well many women don't want to bother with men that don't make the cut from height alone

[EriFrancis1994]

Eh I don't have a preference
