Are dating apps pointless for men under a certain height?

[Anonymous]

Just heard somewhere close to 90% of women filter out men 5'8 and under

Sorry you haven’t had some pleasant experiences but not all women care about height.. I don’t mind if he’s like 5 ft something or 6ft it honestly doesn’t bother me as I’ve dated guys different heights but somehow I literally dont fucken know what it is maybe me being 4”11 gets tall guys after me! I just end up attracting them naturally but no way it’s not a deal breaker if he’s not 6 foot.

Lol, the whole height doesn't matter but I only "attract" tall men. Give me a break

[honeynut-scenarios]

It’s only pointless if they lie about their height. I am guilty of selecting men 5’10 and up, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t had interest before in someone my height. If theirs an option not to include your height, try to remove it and make connections first, before she can use your physical attributes against you.

[Asker]

The issue is most women filter out these men

[honeynut-scenarios]

They can’t do that if you don’t provide that info. If it meant that much to her she would probably ask.

[Asker]

Ok? Even if you don't put it, they end up asking and ghosting

[honeynut-scenarios]

For some women, and men, that matters. Hate it for you. How short are we talking just out of curiosity?

[Asker]

5'6"

[honeynut-scenarios]

Ayeee same, my man. You can always get platform sneakers to boost you up!

[Asker]

See, I don't mind a girl my height or taller thinking I'm too short, I get it from women that are 5'-5'2

[honeynut-scenarios]

Practically dwarves. My nana is so tiny she has to buy shoes from the kids section. Always remember your situation could be worse!

It's way worse than you think. The top 10% of guys on dating apps, are getting 90% of the pussy. That's because most of the women are stupid, and allow themselves to be used. I don't begrudge average-looking women for wanting to fuck the hottest guys, but then don't complain when he ghosts you the next day for the hot girl he really wanted, but was busy that night.

I'm so sick of girls telling me: All men are assholes. All men are liars. All men just want sex.
No, Sally, that's not true. You just described the wolves at the top that played you like a fiddle. You never even gave the nice guys a chance that are your equal in looks. You took the bait, and you got burnt. That's on YOU.

Wow this is very true!!!

A few years back a young guy posted a YouTube video about this. It was awesome. This guy was very smart, funny, caring, but a bit on the pudgy side, and had average looks.

He said he saw many profiles like this:

"If you just want sex or to hookup, then just move on and don't waste my time. If you can't string at least a few sentences together, then don't waste my time."

So he responded to those girls, and poured his heart and soul into it. None of them gave him the time of day.

Then he had an idea. He created a new profile, and became the asshole they said they didn't want. Except, he posted pics of a very hot guy.

Now he just said: "Hey, what's up? Want to hookup?"

And many of them said yes! He posted screenshots and the whole thing on his YouTube video. I wish I could find it, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As much as I love the Internet, and both of us are using it this very minute, it destroyed dating.

[PhenomenalQueen]

I can honestly say this is very true… girls are stupid for a pretty face… It’s sad but you know what’s funny? Even the guys who many will say are very unattractive play women… Many women say those ones are worse than the attractive guys. Lol

The reason that the Internet destroyed dating, (or at least finding dates) is because it eliminated all effort. A guy can literally just copy and paste a message to 200 girls, and he's bound to get a response. He never even needs to leave the comfort of his keyboard. And women are just as much at fault.
The whole thing has just become an illusion. I've chatted with girls on this very site that think they're in a relationship, even though they've never met their boyfriends. That's because they're halfway around the world.
It drives me crazy, because it shouldn't be like that.

[The1Girl]

I'm 5'6 and my boyfriend is just under 5'4, he is the best relationship I've ever had. To be honest, I feel like the height thing is something that you need to disregard if you want a meaningful relationship. Personally, it has just never bothered me enough for it to be a deal breaker.
My ex's have all been taller than me and they were either immature, abusive or just plain losers.

Of course I'm not saying that taller men are automatically wasters, but my point is that both men and women alike are simply missing out on some wonderful people if they are just going to blank anyone a little out of their height preference.

But to answer your main question, no, dating apps are not pointless if you are under 5'8. You may have to sift through some shallow people who really need to get their priorities straight, but I don't actually know anyone who has a strict height rule. None of my friends anyway. Not everyone is like that.

[Lauren__Rosita]

I wouldn’t say all that but I think most girls are more naturally attracted to taller guys.

[Anonymous]

Dating app are useless for short men and women overall. Why? Because tall men are seen as more attractive and women are used for sex on those apps and in real life

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't think so as I know there a plenty of short girls that might not want to date guys that are too tall.

[annabananna]

It’s not pointless but it’s more difficult.

[Darine123]

Sometimes I put at 6’2 at least

[Hangry06]

Probably.
