    if you’re over 6 feet or so, all sorts of people will ask what your height is… but i have seen weird height minimums on dating apps… usually with “i want to be able to wear heels”

      That’s fine. I might wear them too.

        i just think it’s not that important if a girl is taller than a guy (or anyone) they’re dating….
        it’s a weird world i don’t know why people make such a big deal about these things….

        i guess i have been told by women that they feel surprisingly safe walking next to me on the street, and that it’s a big relief….
        maybe it all comes down to instinctual security?

      Haha yeah perhaps if you live in a country where that’s rare.

      You have to be ~2 meters here to get comments, and even that isn’t really rare. 210 would probably start turning heads a bit.

      I don’t get it. Is there a rotating 1kW laser mounted on my head that may decapitate a woman slightly taller then me I didn’t recognize all my life?!

        People treat dating apps as a filter, and think that they’ll only get people that match what they entered. So it becomes a wishlist for them. If they met a really great guy who happened to be short, sure they’d date him. But all other things being equal, would they prefer a tall guy to a short guy? Yes. All things aren’t equal of course, but other stuff is harder to quantify. There’s no “not an asshole” filter, for example.
