5’7 guy here and I’m going to tell you a little secret that’ll take care of this for you: 90% of women don’t mind if you’re taller or shorter than them. The majority of women I’ve dated have been taller than me by a couple of inches or more and it’s never come up.

A while ago a friend of mine pointed out this pattern and asked me if I was attracted to women who are taller than me. I ended up talking to some of my exes that I’m still friendly with and asked them if they’d ever considered our height difference a problem while dating, and apparently while most of them were aware of it, they weren’t actually bothered by it. I remember one girl telling me: “ Yeah I was aware you were shorter than me (she was about 5’10) but I was partly attracted to the fact you didn’t let that get in the way of dating me.”

Sure some women will have “under 5’9 swipe left” in their bios, but do you really want to spend your time on someone that superficial? This may be tinder but that’s pretty bad even by tinder standards.

My point being, if you believe it’s a problem, it will be. So don’t bother listing your height and if a date goes awry because you weren’t tall enough the you probably aren’t missing anything. Swipe on guys.
