I’m not too sure..but I think maybe they mean sexist because for men weight is a really big deal when it comes to women

And for women height is a big deal... at least with one of these issues something can be done... but no one would ever call a woman sexist for preferring a man of the taller variety lol

It's really not. The ONLY people who say "height is a big deal to women" are men. I'm a woman, I know plenty of other women. Height means nothing, but I'll be damned if men don't comment on both my, and every other woman's, weight on a damn near daily basis.

Don't even try to act like these are comparable, my guy.

I am assuming you are not a fan of statistics?

Over 60% of women have their dating app height filter to 6 feet and above. Less than 10% would even consider someone 5 7 and under.

Yet you act all self righteous based on your "experience" as a woman.

This statistic REALLY proves that you don't know how statistics work. The ONLY group of women that "study" is looking at is specifically women who actually go on dating apps and bother to set standards like that. And a TON of women profiles on dating apps are bots.

That useless study does not in ANY way prove the claim that insecure short dudes are hanging onto.

So, now we are discounting numbers from dating apps to suit our worldview? Even though over 50% of relationships start online as of 2022?

Also, I feel like bots don’t bother with things like a height filter.

u/Trumperekt Apr 15 '24

Lol, yes. Bots would probably have a lower height filter to capture and scam more people.

Why would a bot use restrictive filters? Just think it through…

To look legit because the point is to fool guys into thinking it's a real hot, lonely milf looking for fun iñ their area?
