I guess unless your good looking to hot as a guy Tinder is crickets as girls filter you out.

I'm bi so i use all apps .. i sure as hell wish Tinder was like Grindr and Scruff are for me. Open either app and have tons of messages .. pick and choose who you want to chat with and boom you have a collection of potential guys to meet up with for fun when the mood hits you. I guess that's what its like for average to good looking to hot women ... have a collection of guys to pick, choose and chat. Guess it's the Same for good looking to hot str8 guys.

Not surprised about paid dating apps and their fake news scams. Match.com suddenly sends you a ton of winks and messages just as your subscription is about to expire yet there all fake or paid impersonators. Not sure how that is legal?

Unless you don't meet the minimum height requirement. That's more important than looks.

Eh. I'm 5'6". Tinder worked quite well for me. (I look good, to be clear)

I'm sure it would have worked even better if I were 6' and looked the same. But looks on their own do very well.

This was even true on okcupid, where you had to list height. I also got a lot of attention, and routinely got that "congrats, you're attractive" notification the site would send.

(If any short man is reading this, my advice would be: Get lean, and get muscles. This matters far more for you than for taller men, who can coast.)

I honestly feel that IRL, height is less important than a lot of people think. I'm a 5'5 man.

It is ultimately superficial once someone knows more about you, but that doesn't stop people from setting it as their pre-filter before they see what they truly want.

You ask people to improve the carriage, they'll tell you to make a faster horse. If you ask a woman what they want, they'll tell you tall dark and handsome.

[throwaway_234]

Yeah they all want the guy who has a lot to choose from and who can treat them like crap. Hopping from one chick to another and those chicks complain about being treated like crap yet stick with it because of reproduction. I’ll take that guy many girls want who has no job over the one not many want even if they are semi-successful.

[legionof7]

Yeah, I'm sure that being short makes it harder to get past the initial filter, but the nice thing is, once you get past it, you know that it's because they like you internally, not just superficially.

[nojvek]

Dark?

[chrischen]

"Tall dark and handsome" is a Western cliche. You can adjust it as you see fit based on regional prejudices.

[noobermin]

Even if it is legal is definitely not moral.

[throwaway_234]

Well it's the Internet where half to more of what we read and experience is made up crap to make someone else and their buddies rich.
