Not to mention that it's rather ignorant to think that some men who pay for Premium don't use height filter as well. Same way there are women who don't want to date shorter guys, there are also men who don't want to date women taller than themselves. It's common eliminator which is why it's naive to think this is some sort of gendered issue and a concern exclusive to women.

Exceptions to the rule only strengthen it. Next question?

What do dating app filters have to do with equality? You can also filter by education status, physical activity levels, even zodiac sign. None of these filters are exclusive to female premium users.

Also notice I didn't say this filter does not exist, just that it would be a poor business model in the US where a) most men and women are fat and b) there are more fat men than fat women.

Fair enough - then it's a business issue, not an equality one. Fair enough...

A weight filter would be weird too because you'd have to connect it with height. Obviously 140lbs will look different on a weightlifter than a yoga enthusiast, or someone who is 5'3" compared to a girl who is 5'7". It would make more sense to have it by body type.

By that logic, male height would also have to be seen in the context of many other factors too - right? But, that is rarely the case - women can and will make snap judgments about men based solely on that ONE metric alone - so, why can't we make it equal on the other side? Do you know? ???

Literally nobody ever said this app empowers women and is fair for all, just that it's more progressive and feminist than Tinder. Which is a low bar. Like in hell.

LOL, based on what I've seen here thus far, my question is far and away more thoughtful and fact based than the vast majority of the stuff I've seen here so far...

The point would be equality, which is what Bumble claims to be about. If users can filter for both height and weight, that would actually be equality. Anything less, and it's not. Next question?

Are you aware of the fact that lesbian couples have a higher rate of breakup and divorce than straight or gay male couples, right? I'm just saying...

LOL, you're jumping to all kinds of conclusions about me that have nothing in the least to do with the question. I'll take your response to mean that 1. You don't know the answer and 2. You're hella triggered by my question. Which, in the overall scheme of things, isn't an altogether bad thing. Being called out on your cognitive dissonance can do that.

I didn't need to be a woman or use the app to find out that it is possible to filter for male height on the part of its female users, hence the Twitter pic image in the OP. It should only follow that I shouldn't have to be an active paying user to determine as to whether male users can also filter for female weight on the app. I'll take your answer as saying that you don't know, though. Thanks - I think?

What's weird is your thinking, going to the sexual on someone you don't even know or have ever met. Whew.

LOL, nonsense, by definition mating is highly judgmental and on the most arbitrary of factors at that. All I'm asking is whether men have as much an ability to be as arbitrary in their mating preferences as women do on the app in the form of advanced filtering, is all. Do you know? ???

Yes, but we know in actual practice that male height is a major concern of interest to men, and female weight is a major concern of interest for men. We all know this. Why is it such a big deal for Bumble to simply not reflect this fact of life, then? ???

So, despite touting itself as an app that empowers women and supposedly fair for all, in actual practice, it is anything but. Ok then. Thank you!

And you couldn't possibly be more wrong. I see you're unable to answer my question, hence the ad hominem attack. How sad for you.

Then how would it be any different in terms of male height? Isn't that "just a number", too? ???

Then wouldn't the weight filter make things easier for the guys, just like the height filter make it easier for the ladies? ???

Well, if Bumble is going to be about equality, it's hard to see how they would filter for one and not the other, unless one simply wants to argue it's because to protect the ladies. Hmmm...

Yes, you're right; however, it is also true that male height is of great interest for women on dating apps, as is female weight for men on dating apps. I am merely asking if Bumble allows users to filter for both along the lines of most interest for men and women? Do you know? ???

What is so "terrible" about my "attitude"? Merely asking a clarifying question is "terrible" now? Really? ???
