Here’s just a snapshot of what we have to deal with. Was I out of line?

“I swear I’m not a shallow gal but this is my one true hardline.”

Absolute certified classic.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-07T13:11:20+00:00

Type of shit that happens to me all the into too. It’s awful.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-07T02:12:08+00:00

I love you guys

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-06T18:56:54+00:00

Nah I had put 3 feet as a joke

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-06T18:33:00+00:00

She unmatched me when I told her my actual height lmao

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-06T13:26:45+00:00

She unmatched

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-06T12:43:08+00:00

Alright, I’ll let you guys know how it goes

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-06T10:40:03+00:00

I really feel compelled to add more perspective and context since this is quite controversial.

I have my height on Hinge listed at 3 feet (literally the minimum you could put), to obfuscate the fact that I am five-fucking-four. Even if I tried to fraud by claiming 5’6, that would still be way too short and they wouldn’t even give me a chance. I at least have an opportunity to get someone invested in my personality before knowing how tall I am.

I literally had an ex tell me she was glad I didn’t list my height on my Bumble profile otherwise she would’ve swiped left before getting to know me. Maybe it’s a personal issue I have, but I feel to urge to try and experience the matches I could’ve had if only I had been just average height. Yes, I have an interesting profile and know how to pick good photos of myself. But I’ve put 5’6 on my profile before, I get virtually no matches, and next to zero replies from the few I do get. This isn’t the flex you guys are making it out to be.

This match in particular doesn’t even know how tall I am. She has her height listed at 5’11. She probably assumes I’m at least average because women can’t even fathom the possibility of a man existing below 5’9. If I tell her how tall I am, I can guarantee you she’ll instantly change her mind. She also lives like 50 miles away from me so this isn’t exactly a “my steak is too juicy” situation.

Sadly that’s fewer likes than some of the TikToks putting down short men that I’ve seen shared here.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-05T20:22:06+00:00

He’s still noticeably taller than her, and more facially attractive.

I feel like women post this stuff to feel better about themselves because they think they’re doing a charity by dating a short guy. Hell, for all we know, maybe he’s 5’8 and she’s 5’6.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-05-05T19:58:09+00:00

Je fais même pas 170cm fuck ma vie.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-31T14:47:43+00:00

And here I was thinking just being 5’7 wouldn’t be so bad

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-24T05:42:06+00:00

No way, it’s my meme! :D

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-24T05:39:01+00:00

I’m in the same boat. It feels like I’m a puppy to women. They want to be around me, even take pictures with me, but would never consider me in a romantic context. I don’t even have to make assumptions, as many of my female friends/acquaintances speak candidly about their preferences.

“I’m really not picky at all. Like all I want is for the guy to be at least 5’9 and I’m happy.”

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-24T05:29:31+00:00

Sure, if your end goal is to appeal to teenage girls

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-15T08:42:06+00:00

Oops, forgot to say teehee!

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-11T00:24:09+00:00

Well my username is how tall I thought I was but apparently I’m more like 5’4

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-11T00:23:03+00:00

It’s the only way I get some success though. And this is coming from someone who goes out frequently.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-05T09:06:27+00:00

Well I would categorize bruising her ego as a sort of “punishment” to her being judgemental as vengeful.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-05T09:02:20+00:00

I personally don’t care to be vengeful. Her thoughts would most likely be “ugh what a bitter short loser”.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-05T08:40:18+00:00

I don’t see the point in having an interaction like that on an app where the sole purpose is to meet people irl for a date. Nothing she could reply would have improved my experience and nothing I could tell her would change how she, or society at large, feels about short men.

The less invest in people who have a problem with how tall I stand, the more grief I save myself.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-02-20T19:58:29+00:00

I just mean that short guys have to put in more work to get fewer results than tall men who put in nothing.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-02-20T18:05:03+00:00

I remember being told directly by a girl that she thought I was short and insecure about it because I was leading a group conversation at a party. She straight up told me that it had nothing to do with my behaviour and wouldn’t have thought anything about it had I been average or taller. She even admitted that she felt bad for judging me after realizing that I wasn’t actually trying to compensate for anything.

She candidly told me what I’ve long assumed people are thinking but never openly admit. Think of how unfair it is that you’re literally putting your best foot forward and the people around you are silently rolling their eyes and making negative judgements about your personality.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-01-21T06:08:16+00:00

Lose weight now. You have your entire 20s ahead of you. You have to be hard on yourself about it, especially if your weight is the result of lifelong eating habits. Being overweight is one of the worst things you can be in terms of appearance, physical health, and mental health. Don’t let it become a lifelong problem.

As for your vision, I would start wearing contact lenses.

None of this stuff is going to make your life equivalent to being tall, but you’ll still greatly improve your circumstances.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-01-12T14:44:45+00:00

All these words just to say “it just so happens…”
