I went back on Tinder 4 days ago. I said I was done with dating apps previously but I thought i’d give it another go. I got only 2 matches in 4 days and the 2 women didn’t respond to me. I just deleted the app.
Its got me thinking my short height (5’6) is always going to hold me back in the dating world. There’s nothing wrong with women prefering tall men, everyone should be allowed to have preferences. But I feel like it’s an automatic no for 99% of women when they see that i’m short. I just feel defeated. I feel like I have a lot of good things to offer a woman.
I haven’t had sex in years. Havent had a girlfriend in years. I want someone to love and be intimate with.
It’s better to be honest about height because a chiropractor I worked for in the past said that men would lie about their height and she would find out when they went on a date in person. That’s awful.
@TheCanuk my first husband was 5’6”. Many women are fine with that. My 30 year old daughter is 6’ and her live in boyfriend is 5’6”. He’s a great guy and very likable. He’s had lots of girlfriends.
I think you need to not worry about tinder not producing results. Lots of people have trouble on those sites.
Did you put some good facts about yourself on your profile? I always look for shared interests and life goals/lifestyles. Recently matched with someone but i ignored his message when i realized he smokes ciggarettes
I haven’t used a dating app in over a decade, but the last time I had it, there was an option to filter out any profiles that didn’t meet your criteria, including height. So if a woman can see your profile, she doesn’t mind you being 5’6. The real issue with those apps is that they are inherently shallow. There are a lot of women I know who go on those to go “window shopping” or just get a few compliments when they feel low. They have zero intention of actually meeting or starting a relationship with someone.
While height is something that can’t necessarily be changed, you can focus on other stuff.
Honing in on these traits, polishing them, and letting those be your calling card will make women notice @TheCanuk, not just a physical feature.
Whether it’s a sense of humor, a good natured personality, or an even just a nice smile, the ladies will take notice and find those things attractive about you.
I feel you there. I want a girlfriend but I have a schizophrenia diagnosis and don’t have a lot of money and I’m not handsome. Women have never wanted to date me my whole adult life, even before my schizophrenia diagnosis when I was thin and thought I looked ok.
I know you were honest about your height. I was trying to say that being transparent is the right thing to do, which you always are.
Also, I agree with PP that many women are under 5’6. I would pursue dating as much as you’re comfortable and believe that there’s someone for everyone, which I have seen to be true. So, therefore, there’s someone for you.
I have had some very short boyfriends.
Some have been little shorter than me even .
I would date a dwarf or super tiny being guy if the true beaut and has snd is yhe soulful deep self and I adore a calm divine masculinity and find it sexually attractive to connect and love with passionately n in awesome ways but pretty much never experienced it as such .just glimpses .
My partner has shown me glimpse of his divine masculinity and energy and passion and holy essence I think .wang true is connect intimate n so .
Don’t give up so quickly .
You could be patient and not let rejection upset you so specially after only two days .
There are so many scammers and fakes and so forth but keep the faith n don’t give up on finding your partner .
You could try speed date In Person ?
Or another dating app .
Apparently a lot of dating apps and match makers are all fakes and scams .
They cater to some people and steal time n other stuff from others .
Really nasty stuff goes on in dating scene and lots of people in relationships may have played dirty n cheated to get their partner .not something I would ever do n revolting see what goes on .
Some are not themselves at all .
What they show n are is not them but what did to get what want n ferl good n so n it’s not real them .
Don’t give up hope .
Hope you find a good romantic partner for you .
Mafs seems to be a putrid dating show with theft and fakeness and cruel disgusting going on where they steal n not true most of them n unprofessional channels and stolen gorgeousness from true beauts n so forth .other evil date sites too .
