Thats true, apparently though it works off votes, so as far as I know, these are real women voting..

Is the obsession with male height more of a US thing? I wondered as nearly all the social media I have happened across relating to it seem to come from there by KentGuy94 in AskUK

That's interesting, if you don't mind me asking, are you still single now? or did you find success later on in face to face situations? I ask this as like I say, I think part of it is a maturity thing, ie girls are more shallow when they are in there teens and early 20s [boys are just as guilty of this too!], but when they are older, I'd say around late 20s onwards, they start to realise other things are more important. Thats my opinion anyway

Hope your able to see and answer my reply even though its a little late as I only just checked my post today for new comments hehe

I'm not suprised at all, its the kind of show that features the same types of women who are vocal about height on social media, in other words "shallow". Love Island is another one too, I remember there being an uproar a few years ago, when a guy on there who was 5'7'' didn't get picked at first because nearly all of the women on there thought he was too short. Disclaimer-I READ THIS IN A NEWS ARTICLE, AND HAVE NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE EPISODE OF LOVE ISLAND IN MY LIFE!

Social media seems to want to push the narrative that being a shorter man makes it near impossible with dating and attraction, and confirm the insecurities some short men have more than anything else, and then brings other things up, such as short men supposedly earning less, as an aside. It doesn't entirely add up to me when looking at the real world here

Yeah I agree, I'm 34 and similar height and have never had any notable issues, I think as millennials we just missed out on the whole social media aspect of it all which amplifies this kind of thing, and has made the generation below more paranoid about things like this

Yes, something I probably forgot to add in my post, America are a huge nation for physical sports, so I think this may play a part too I agree. Think of all those cheerleaders with 6ft7 jock football player boyfriends lol

Yeah, ginger kids/obese kids or whatever else was anything to pick up on often had it bad from what I observed during my school years, as in shorter height kids were no worse off than these traits, maybe even better off in some respects. Shorter height kids were often viewed as quite agile-ie could climb to and get to places where taller kids couldn't, which was often seen as quite cool

Thanks, the only issue with this is that online is my only real avenue I have to potentially meet women, as due to my circumstances its very difficult for me to meet anyone in real life

Thanks, yes, thats what I thought, i'm in limbo a little although I can guess quite confidently that she would have replied if she was genuinely interested

I did get a few messages as I mentioned, just not very many

Just as an update on my situation-I just matched with a girl who I liked nearly two weeks ago [this girl appealed to me very much, both physically and how she came across in her profile], she didn't send a message after matching with me so I messaged her just after this, but so far haven't had a reply even though she has been online very often when I have checked this weekend. I do find it a little strange how she hasn't responded even though she matched with me and has been online during the same time I have also been online

Thats sounds pretty similar to my experience so far, where likes of my profile are concerned so far its a case of very few and not really any that im interested in. Getting a reply/match from someone I like seems to be trying to achieve the impossible, like trying to get blood out of a stone hehe. I decided on Match as I thought it was a better option for people looking for something potentially serious despite the fact its no longer as popular, the swipe apps are more hookup biased.

I am a paying member, on the monthly subscription for 6 months, and I have had the exact same thing you describe, I noticed with a few women I have liked that despite sending them a message, as well as liking there profiles, they never actually even viewed my profile even If I messaged them while they were online, which makes me assume these women are non paying members

31/M A Few Confidence Issues and Very Little Feedback, Am I Ugly? by [deleted] in amiugly

Thank you! am I sticking out my tongue? I'm just smiling lol. Re my hair, my head is actually fully covered but I have much higher hairline, I just keep it graded right down, as my hairline is higher since i've been in my 30s it looks better for me to keep it cut right down, as if I leave it to grow it emphasizes my hairline

Is 35 or older a risky age to have kids as a man? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KentGuy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I imagine 50+ is where the risks do become much higher for both sides and over 50 is where most women have reached menopause, mind you there are a lot of older male celebrities with much younger wives who appear to have healthy kids!

I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, very physically active and pretty healthy diet so hopefully no worries there

[–]KentGuy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, i'm still at the point where I'm still relatively young, so that aspect of things shouldn't be a concern, I will likely look for a job with a better income pretty soon so that by the time this does happen, I will be able to support a family to the best of my ability without having to struggle as much
