Dating thread 153- The adventures of... [Title edited at OP's request]

Dating thread rules:

1. The first rule about the dating thread is you don't talk about it with people you're dating.
2. Develop a thick skin.
3. Do not invest emotionally too soon.
4. It's all BS until it actually happens.
5. Trust your gut instinct.
6. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault.
7. You are the prize - they should be trying to impress you.
8. If it's not fun, stop.
9. Loo update is mandatory.

10. No dating the thread. 11. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

And a reminder - you don't know them until you know them!

Clearly I am missing a trick by not putting my height on my Tinder profile.

I'm a principled guy though, so I won't. I want to be liked for my personality not for allowing women to see up my nostrils.

Haha hairy sorry if I have offended by my swoon comments. I am quite tall so it’s important to me for a man to be tall.

Hairy if you're above 5'8 put your height on your profile. It's the only thing about a man that I'm superficial about. I actually won't date anyone below 5'10. And I'm 5'3. Nostril view is what I'm going for 👍.

However, I should add I'm definitely a personality sort of girl. I don't just date every guy 5'10 and above 😂😂😂.

itsAmiracle not fair...you need to date shorter men so there are some tall ones available for taller ladies like me and shitwith 😂

I put height in on those sites where they ask for it; just seems an oddly desperate thing to put into your bio. My DS was bemoaning his height yesterday, so I attempted to cheer him up by saying some girls like tall boys. He shut me down with 'there's no evidence for that' and gave me a withering look.

shitwith if you find a super tall smoker feel free to direct them to me!

hairy lots of men on tinder say something like “my sister said I should tell you I am 6ft 2” etc

Yeah I only really go for smokers as I completely get it's unappealing for non smokers! I'm sorry marlboro I just can't do it!! I went on a date with someone 5'7 and just felt like a bitch that I couldn't get past it. Now I don't even bother! I like the standing on tip toes and bear hugs. Can't help it 🤷😂.

ps. dispensed with my match queue in the time it took to run a bath for said DS. All hopeless distances away.

It's definitely not desperate hairy. At all! It's a pro point. For almost all women!

'If you've read this far, I've got nothing much to say for myself except it's cold up here'

I'm beyond curious hairy how tall?

My tinder profile says 'if you're below 5'9 swipe left. I know it's superficial but it saves us both some time. I'm 5'3 so feel free to swipe left if I'm too short'. I got too fed up with no heights on tinder and then awkwardly trying to ask 😂.

I am 5ft (I say 5ft1 - but I never really checked).
In my teens, I had a boyfriend who was 6'4"!

Now, however, all profiles say I am too short (and too old)
(Wailing emoji if there were one)

Hairy if you don't put you're tall most women will assume you're trying to hide that you're short. Do it and watch those matches increase!

I like to know a man’s height too. I’m not that fussed how tall, as long as they are taller than me (5ft 6).

I took a risk with the guy I am dating at the moment on a tinder and I still don’t know how tall he is but I did go onto my tiptoes when we kissed!

@BatshitCrazyWoman when I was on the apps and flicking between Tinder and Bumble I kept super liking guys on Tinder - I forgot you can’t just scroll up to read their profile 🤣

Height isn’t an issue for me, as I’m a proper shortarse. As long as they’re taller than me! (And everyone is). I did have a couple of dates with a teeny tiny guy (he was 5’5”) who said it was tough being on the apps as a very short man. He got very few matches, which was a shame as he was very intelligent, very fit, very cute —great in bed— and just a lovely guy. Shame he gave me the thanks but no thanks spiel really 😆

Oh balls, strikeout fail 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Mythologies - Happy to have a look at your profile if you want an unbiased look at it.

@ItsAMiracle2015 My sister said to say I should watch my head

I'm 5ft 3 and put my height on my Tinder profile. I just felt there should be some actual facts on there, instead of me saying what I'm like, which is my opinion, really 😂

I accept passmedowns @Sidge (is there a list rule about that?)

I do feel bad for the short guys. It must be tough. But I really tried and I just couldn't do it. And I'm short! I know! hairy seriously watch your matches increase with your height on there 😉.
