i would prefer getting asked out over the phone rather than at work itself. i'd rather not be put on the spot at work while other people might be witnessing the situation. i think it's kind of cheesy, like proposing at a baseball game without knowing it's a sure thing. i actually like to make rejection as easy as possible so that i know they're enthusiastic about it when they say yes.
but hey, everyone's different.

I don't think men who put 2" inserts in their shoes are cheating or misleading. They are just evening the playing field to counter womens heels. Also, some women wear 5" heels and there are no subtle lifts men can wear to compete with that.

If its something you two can connect through, definitely. The idea isn't to just spit out random vulnerabilities you have.

Only read the OP, this is nothing new.
Us short guys (I'm 5'9" myself) have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to dating. Always. And it'll never changer.
Ever.
You just have to find a woman shorter. My wife is 5'2", but i never really had a problem finding a GF growing up. Not that women were falling all over me, but as long as your sociable and with a decent body, getting laid isn't too difficult.

God, no. That is horrible advice for Tinder dates

Love how this is the first post and nobody has challenged this statement's veracity. Just as women start having increased chances of miscarriage and birth defects when getting pregnant at 35 or older, men's sperm quality starts to degrade around the age of 40, which can cause a host of similar health issues both for the mother and the baby due to genetic mutation. While men may be fertile for life, there definitely is an optimal range for reproductive health, and it is only 5 years more than women get. If you're over 40, please get your guys checked out before you knock someone up.
Just one article, using a search engine will turn up a ton more.

To stay slightly on topic, partner and I are pretty similar in height, but glad I didn't have to use online services to find them. My only experiences with that are secondhand and they've been a huge bust. Reading the messages sent by males to females and reading bot messages is depressing, and I've been out of the game for nearly 20 years.
Well yeah if a girl asked me if she could still get dates without a big juicy booty I'd tell her to Minaj that shit up asap.
I mean. Okay. This is just one big #wellactually though.

It is a point that deserves to be brought up. Men shouldn't be resting on their laurels thinking they can just wait it out.
My sister (who is many years younger than myself) has mild autism and my parents were told this is highly correlated with the age of the father. Trust me, seeing the shit they have to go through with her sometimes has definitely made me not want to delay having children any more than I must.

That's you. People are different and care about different things. I don't even want kids so I am in no rush.

Shoe lifts, bruhs. Can discretely make a 5'9" dude nearly 6' and it has the added effect of accentuating the booty. If women can cheat with heels, push up bras, etc. why can't we cheat with lifts?
They ain't gonna notice the height difference when you're naked anyway.

If you don't even want kids why did you reply to a comment about fertility?

Fine. Sure here in the west I'm a loser but just you wait till I go to the land of small breasts and asses. There I will become Charisma Man.
This opinion is infinitely false.
edit: I wish you well on your journey Charisma man.
I was just publicly eye-rolling at your post but that's fair enough. I'll drop this back and forth.

This sooooo much. Everyone gets treated superficially, IRL and magnified by a million on dating sites, and people have a right to do it. Sure it can be shallow and dumb, but it's your right to have those preferences/ideals. If you don't fit the bill, all you can do is laugh it off. The replies and overall feeling that everything is just unfair and then generalising women/men as picky or whatever ain't gonna help you. It's just rejection, it ain't a big deal.
Course, easy for me to say as a close to average height dude.
The whole thread pretty much sums up my main issue with online dating: that it's a very shallow and unrealistic experience that's not well-aligned with real life. That said, it most certainly DOES give us men a little bit of a taste of what it's like to be perpetually judged by our looks.
I mentioned there's a culture of resistance against self-improvement earlier, and I meant it. It's not just about your appearance, though that's absolutely a big part of it. How you present yourself in life directly affects the way that people perceive you. But self-improvement is also about continuously challenging your own perceptions of yourself and others, expanding your knowledge, refining your personality, etc. Putting yourself under the harsh light of Tinder to be anonymously scrutinized by others can be a healthy experience as long as you don't let it define you.

Yes but this is the equivalent mental production of a baby rubbing shit on their face and spilling cornflakes. I mean it couldn't matter less but it is hilarious.

Yeah you are average height.....honestly most girls really don't care too much about height. However if you are looking on Tinder...seriously though don't look on Tinder for an actual date.

For sure. What might work well for me might not work well for others. It all really depends on your personality and looks. One guy might come off as a creep while the next dude that does the same thing will come off as flattering.
I still think there is some general guidlines that the average person should go by and I think calling someone at work to ask them out falls into that catagory.

If it makes you feel better, I wanted to know if your profile picture was someone famous so entered it into Google and the result that came back was "beauty".

I like the cut of your jib.
Honestly, watching the ass jiggle and wave while hitting from the back is one of the 7 wonders of the world.

A pretty face is a pretty face. Nothing touches that.
That's weird (not you, I mean that that was the result).
Naw bruh. Get Tinder premium. Swipe right on everything. Get the chrome extension that auto swipes right on everything. Be selective after the fact. I've met some dope ass people that piqued my interest during our chats, that I probably would have swiped left on if I was being selective.

Seems appropriate. I don't know if it's like this worldwide but recently Google's image search has started to return generic descriptions (such as "person", "nose", "pants", etc.)
