Everyone has preferences when it comes to the type of person they like to date. Some people prefer brunettes over blondes, tan over pale, tall over short. But to say that people with a certain trait are less worthy of dating is just wrong.
A girl on Tinder recently got a taste of her own medicine when she expressed her rude views on dating men who are shorter than her, and boy did she hate it.
It can be a great way to meet people, and also a great way to call people out on their crap.
You can also add in your favorite music, movies and shows, and even the things you don't like.
Some people are pretty honest and put their dislikes right in their bio.
Which is exactly what happened between one guy and girl on Tinder.
In her bio, you'll notice she says that if a guy is shorter than 5 feet 7 inches, he should swipe left. janmayeno is 5 feet 6 inches, but when he swiped right on her, he matched.
On their blog, Tinder announced in April they would be introducing height verification to get rid of "heightfishing." They said, "height-lying ends here. To require everyone under 6’ to own up to their real height, we’re bringing truthfulness back into the world of online dating."
They edited their post to say, "UPDATE: Happy April Fool's Day! While we aren’t really verifying height, we encourage all Tinder users to be honest and keep an open mind while on the app. Sometimes your most unexpected match can lead to amazing things."
Can someone explain to me how a person's height dictates what kind of person they are?
Btw, my boyfriend is the same height as me and I will not let that stop me from rocking a pair of high heels.
I'm just trying to understand her logic here. It's fine to not be into something, but to bash on it like this?
At the same time, she's not disagreeing with him.
Suddenly, when you swap height for weight, she's offended. She doesn't seem to be picking up on the parallel he's drawing.
The more I read this story though, the less I'm sure of whose side I'm on.
One user pointed out there being nothing wrong with having preferences, but it's a bit tasteless to advertise what groups you're not attracted to in your profile. Others saw it as honest and saving time.
While janmayeno may have been rude or needlessly aggressive, most people agreed she didn't have a right to get mad about his comments about weight if she didn't get mad about his comments about height.
This guy thought that, if anything, she should've put her height limit at even taller to avoid being taller than guys in heels.
Tell us what you think in the comments, and don't forget to share!
