Asking height and weight

[SandyBut]

This just happened to me - not on a trad OLD site. That’s weird isn’t it?

Yes

Yes...very x

Unless he’s planning on booking you for a modelling shoot and needs to know for fitting reasons this is shallow as fuck and unnecessary. Next!

Not on a traditional OLD site? Just a chat site, is that what you mean?

Ask him for cock measurements, girth and length, then say, "never mind" and block.

I think the person asking this should explain why he/she wants to know your weight and height.there is nothing wrong if a person right from the beginning wants to make it clear they dont want/ want to date an overweight/ very tall/very small person.Not explaining the question is weird.

Nothing wrong with getting the basics, I’d ask about their teeth, education, religion and vehicle. Why beat around the bush.

Loads of women asked about my height.
Some will only date 6ft plus men.

Well, it shows what's important to your potential date. They've put their cards on the table so you can act accordingly. It saves you wasting your time on someone whose ideas of 'perfection' you might not live up to.

What would the next question be, I wonder!

This. Everyone is allowed to ask info on/have preferences/date whoever they wish, you don't have to comply with it or feel offended by it. He's a stranger. Unless you too care about height and weight, he's already shown you you're incompatible on shared relationship values and saved you wasting time.

I've been married a long time but I can't see a problem with it . I know so many women on fb who do head shots and they are size 26 but have thin faces .
I wouldn't want to date someone really overweight and I think it's fine to ask . I wouldn't be offended . I am 5 foot so it would probably put lots of men off that 🤷‍♀️

I think height is a reasonable question. I'd prefer not to date a man who is considerably shorter than me

Weight is quite a personal question but perhaps he/she has been caught out before with someone who is much larger/smaller than they'd prefer. I met a guy one time who had said he was of larger build but who in fact was so obese that he couldn't walk properly. I'd prefer not to date someone who stretches the truth nor someone who is very obese

We're all allowed preferences, after all

I think that's being a bit specific. Most of that information is usually on your profile when I was Internet dating.
That said I was often asked odd questions like how many women I'd slept with and the last time I had sex. Was I bi-sexual etc.

Ugh
Years ago I was OLD. Was chatting with a guy for a little while, we exchanged numbers. He called me, during the conversation he asked me what size I was. I’m 5,10, and was a size 12 at the time. When I told him there was silence, followed by ‘ sorry but I don’t date girls your size. I like my women to look like they’ve holidayed in Auschwitz !!!’ then promptly hung up before I could even reply .

I’d never be interested in anyone that felt the need to ask my weight/ height. Either you like me or you don’t, if my weight would put someone off I wouldn’t want to waste a second of my time on them

Can't see why not ask about height. A man isnt usually going to date a 6ft tall woman if he is 5ft 6. But weight not so good. Thats a bit cheeky.

@hoping..... same for me. Guy blocked me when I said I was a size 10. He said he only dates sizes 4, 6 or 8.

Fair enough 🙂

I think a lot of people use misleading photos in their profiles. I know a male friend of mine was on old and he said very few of the women he met resembled their photos, many were heavily filtered, several stones heavier, and lots of years older. To the extent they were barely recognisable. I suspect if you’ve been dating on line for awhile then you might be wary

However I also think much depends what you mean by not traditional, is it like a sex site or a hobby one?

I remember when my sister was old she got so many comments off men saying how great it is she put up all full length body pic, it seemed many had the only face pics and then when they met up the woman was very overweight, so I’m guessing it’s for that reason? Dress size would be better though than asking how much you weigh

I'm 5ft 8 and dated a woman who was 5ft 11, I got loads of comments from other men.

@Hrpuffnstuff1 How interesting. What sort of comments?

Are you related to Bernie Ecclestone, maybe?

I don't think it's that bad. Though there are politer ways to ask but I would want to know a man's approximate hight and body shape before investing too much time.
I'm picky. Not saying they need to be perfect but they would need to be what I consider attractive. We all like different sizes and features.
He might prefer a certain figure.

I usually put a full length photo of me and also state my height and dress size. I also add that I have an 11 year old, because I'm 49 and many men my age have children who are grown up. It saves wasting people's time.

Yup. Nobody did anything wrong. It's not weird to judge potential dates on looks. If you think it's weird that they asked, don't date them.
