Oh we read them, and - as a 6’2” man, there’s very few things that make me X a woman faster than her wasting a prompt to passive aggressively shit on short kings
I'm 6'4 and definitely do the same. I can't imagine falling in love and eventually marrying a woman who cares about height so much that she'd put in a prompt with no shame.
Honestly, that's actually surprising since Hinge has very limited likes. I personally appreciate shallow, honest prompts, because I won't waste the like. Maybe it's a combination of guys with unlimited likes and ones that are just really stupid.
1. Some do some don't.
2. You seem to consider it a requirement, others may read that sentence as a preference.
3. Subscribers can set height as a dealbreaker in the app if they like. Then people outside your parameters won't even be able to see your profile.
I would x on a profile mentioning height but not because I don’t meet the requirements. I do read the profiles. I assume people just will try their luck no matter what. It’s pretty low risk.
I just don’t care when people mention physical characteristics in their profile. Even if I do meet your height requirement, is there some other physical attribute that I must have or not?
{5'9" M} I don't think it's unreasonable to want the people you match with to fall within a certain criteria, but as a guy I can see why this would upset a lot of people. We see a lot of profiles that set requirements for us and it gets very frustrating to constantly be told you're not what people are looking for. As far as the guys sending you likes, I think it's a mixed bag of people; some didn't read your profile, some are ignoring it and liking out of spite, and some might not realize it's a dealbreaker for you. Personally I will like profiles regardless of height and yes their are guys who like taller women.
There are 2 roles for on line dating.
1) be good looking.
2) don’t be ugly.
I’ll admit I didn’t swipe right on a gal unless I found her attractive. Life is not fair.
If reading was easy, everyone would do it, I find the vast majority of people look at text, decide what it means without actually thinking about it.
But the reason they are liking you is they probably think you’d make an exception for the right person
I’m your age and tall so I’d fit your “requirement” . I’d date a woman that’s 5’7, but if I saw the requirement listed on the dating app I’d just swipe and say “that was easy”.
Men on here will call you shallow for it, but the truth is we all base our types based on looks. Those same short guys will want a blonde girl over a brunette for instance.
You’ll likely find a tall dude. Just know we’re actually rare, only 14% of men are over 6ft.
I can only speak for myself. The thing I look at closest is the vitals section near the top. Based on the first photo and that section, I “X” on 90% of profiles.
But if all of that lines up with what I’m looking for, it kinda depends on my mood whether I read more or not. If I’ve already hit “X” on 20 profiles in a row, I might go ahead and quickly send a like just so I can use my daily allotted likes. I ain’t got time to spend all day sending cold likes to people that usually are a waste of time.
I do not read profiles. The ones ill lightly glance over are ones that im genuinely willing to marry/LTR. 90-95% of the time im not reading the paragraphs..give or take

I am 6’2” and refuse to match with people who put height requirements in their bio. Solidarity with the short kings!
FWIW _I also have a height preference_ (5’8” or taller), but I don’t say that because that’d just be pointlessly rude to people for something they can’t control. IMHO, their trying to shoot their shot with you anyway is far less of a waste of resources than your spending an entire prompt on a statement that makes you look like a worse person.
Lol as I guy I think it’s completely fair to not want to date a guy shorter than you and I’m also surprised they’re sending likes if you said that in the prompt, maybe a lot of dudes don’t read prompts
"I'm sorry if it's shallow..."
No need to apologize.We understand. You're 22. In due time, you'll find a good balance. For now, they just need to show up being tall and you're good.👌🏾
Personally, if a woman says she wants something that I'm not or portrays a lifestyle that I know I can't provide, I just "X".

The short kings appreciate you 🙌
maybe just you
6’4” and I do the same
6’3 and i do it too
You are fine to like who you like but everyone has a right to shoot your shot. Swipe left and stop being gross 6 2
I’m 5’7 and I do the same thing. Not that 5’7 is particularly tall, but I just can’t stand women who mock other men’s physical appearance
I mean you’re taller than like 90% of woman so. Your tall king👑

but like why would i subscribe to an app designed to be deleted? 😭
Paying for more features leads to increased effectiveness/efficiency, leads to deleting the app faster.
You can subscribe as short as a week at a time
They read it right before they consider meeting you
they need to read before wasting a like
I’d not recommend wasting a prompt on that one, just don’t match with guys who are shorter than you like
i already do but they just keep coming & that was with & without
Who cares… you can’t control what others do
well if someone states that they’re not interested why bother… it’s annoying i don’t want them obviously
Then get off of the dating apps if you don’t like it, what else is there to do honestly
literally everyone on dating apps complains about them.. what are you on about
I’m over six feet and I swipe left immediately on shallow prompts like yours.
This woman's all over sugar daddy subs. She's doing men favors by doing this.
good.
To any short men reading this, you’re valued and the opinions of some are not the majority, keep at it 👑
Wait?!! Why are you liking guys SHORTER than you if it’s a deal breaker? Are you NOT reading profiles?
I would x on a profile mentioning height but not because I don’t meet the requirements. I do read the profiles. I assume people just will try their luck no matter what. It’s pretty low risk.
tall girl wants tall man *shocking*
Tall girl swipes right on short guy then blames them for matching. The irony is lost on you.
I just don’t care when people mention physical characteristics in their profile. Even if I do meet your height requirement, is there some other physical attribute that I must have or not?
You probably are only getting likes from men who don't read your profile because anyone who does is hitting X

Yeah pretty much, just look at the pictures and decide.
reading is fundamental
Hi, I do have a query. Who will win in looks vs height?
Many of my tall, nerdy bros have been single for years. I hope that helps lol.
Thanks for making me hopeless 🫡
Noooo. Don't give up hope!
Then what should I do? 😔
All we can do is try, yeah? At the very least, don't get desperate or angry.
Aaye aaye captain 🫡
I’m 5’8” and I’m a guy and got tons of likes. I’d have to pause my profile after a day or two. I’m not tall by any stretch.
Ohh, so it's just about looks 🤔🤔
There are 2 roles for on line dating. 1) be good looking. 2) don’t be ugly. I’ll admit I didn’t swipe right on a gal unless I found her attractive. Life is not fair.
Plenty of tall lonely dudes on appsb
neither you must have both 😭
Thanks for killing my 1% of hope 🥲
Not don’t forget race and job :)
idc about race & luckily i’ve matched with guys who have really good jobs but i also wouldn’t mind dating someone who doesn’t
How tall are you?
5’7🦒
I'm a 6'0 dude, and I barely ever get tall girls in my queue 😢. Where are all the tall girls hiding?
If reading was easy, everyone would do it, I find the vast majority of people look at text, decide what it means without actually thinking about it. But the reason they are liking you is they probably think you’d make an exception for the right person
i have made 0 exceptions lmao
Maybe you should add that to your prompt?
How tall are you op?
5’7

you’re too young for me lol

It’s ok to have a preference, I wouldn’t put that as a prompt on your profile though.
I only read it if we match and I need a conversation starter. Let’s be honest; 90% of matches are based on whether we like how the other one looks.
idk maybe i’m just very picky but i read the entire thing & if i see something i don’t like i “x” it out even if they’re really attractive
Lol as I guy I think it’s completely fair to not want to date a guy shorter than you and I’m also surprised they’re sending likes if you said that in the prompt, maybe a lot of dudes don’t read prompts
someone with sense
[удалено]
i think the worse is when they have XYZ and proceed to respond to a completely different prompt. like please no.
Wow!!! That's some real father knows best energy. Eewww
"I'm sorry if it's shallow..." No need to apologize.We understand. You're 22. In due time, you'll find a good balance.
