Fucking hell. I mean... fuck.
I wish the world would lose all of its stupid societal stigmas that make people feel less human than their equally human peers.
You are a tall person, aren’t you?
Edit/comment: downvotes for this? lol triggered tall people is too much.
Edit/comment II: yup, the tall triggered folks have tiny hearts for their size. Let’s get the DV to >100.
I'm only 5'11" but I agree with them.
Wait. 5 11 is short now?
Under 6'4" DNI /S
But for real a lot of Tinder bios and stuff have a 6' minimum stated. While 6'+ people aren't rare exactly, I've known many women and men who hover around that mark or exceed it, it does exclude a large segment of the population.
I think a large part of it is that women generally want a partner taller than them. Guys also seem to generally want a partner shorter than them. And a lot of people will just ignore others until someone checks all the boxes instead of taking a chance. This in turn tends to fuel the loneliness epidemic and can't be good for self image.
Only about 15% of US men are over 6 ft tall.
Psh than you goto a college town and it feels like 50%
I'm 6"6 but your comment is just tone deaf.
I’m 7’11 and I think he’s right on the mark
Nah, I'm not triGgeRed lol, so you are?
Can’t hear me up there, boss?
Does it matter? Even if the commenter is in fact tall, what was said is still 100% valid. Physical appearance is valued way too high
I think it does matter, yes. Context is important or at least interesting and I’m curious, so I ask. And an honest answer would’ve been nice versus a bunch of bitchy and meaningless downvotes.
What’s your credit card number? I need it for context. And don’t you dare give me a bitchy downvote!
Call me at 867-5309 and I’ll share it with you!
Jenny! I’ve been meaning to call you since 1981!
I thought I was your girl!
