result from bumble experiment

Edit Post

My friend who is 6ft and myself who is 5feet7 we both made our opening line on a Bumble dating app  "do you think 6 ft is too tall? do you think 5f7 is too short?"

the result from us both were~

roughly 70 % of women don't care, were fine with either . a couple even said they preferred short

roughly 20% said 5 foot7 is a little short but they are still open to dating at that height

roughly 10% said 5foot7 is too short, would not be interested at all

sample size +plusor-minus 50. Two different big U.s citiy.


Point is i feel the whole women being height sticklers are overplayed and in the reality playing field, only matters to most that you are a few inches taller. Getting this procedure only for dating purpose might be not your worthwile.

For me I’m getting this surgery for myself and to cure my own height dysphoria. I personally wouldn’t do this surgery just for dating purposes.

I agree. I'm about 5'7.5 rn (I say I'm 5'8 tho especially on apps lol girls can't tell) and I do fine dating. As long as you are taller than the girl by a few inches you're fine. Majority of women in the US are under 5'5 so generally you're fine.

I doubt 2 extra inches is gonna change my dating results much. The reason I wanna get LL to get to 5'9.5 is so I can be actual average height and not feel like people don't take me seriously because of my height (or lack thereof).

It's no secret that taller men command more respect, are seen as more capable by society etc. 60% of CEO's are over 6 ft tall despite 6' tall men being only 15% of the US population.

But mostly its for myself. I just don't wanna be the short guy anymore in any friend group I'm in. I'm fine being average I don't need to be tall. But it sucks being the shortest one or one of the shortest.

All 5’10 and 5’11 guys say they are 6ft on dating apps anyways. At 5’10 with a good pair of shoes you are maybe an inch off and a girl that a lot shorter would not be able to tell. 6ft is an overclaimed number, everyone that is 178-180cm and up says 6ft. Close nuff

Most women aren't going to explicitly tell a short guy they've never met that they don't like short guys but that doesn't mean they are okay with short guys. It doesn't matter what the average girl thinks because it's not hard to get a gf at any height, especially 5'7". What matters is what the hottest girls think and they obviously like tall guys.

I agree that the impact on dating is not that big though, but there is definitely an impact.

This is what will happen if you go out with those girls.

1. See what women do and not what they say.  Women prefer taller men but many won’t admit it openly.  Same way men may say they’re okay with certain body types but prefer thin pear shaped  or hourglass women.

2. Height isn’t a negative after 5’8” and becomes a positive after 6’0”.

Agreed most women like a taller man and just like most men like a slim women. Getting more attention from women is a plus for this surgery and I would be lying if getting more women wasn’t a reason I wanted this surgery. But its not the main reason the main reason for me was to cure my height dysphoria.

Well put, it should be mainly to cure height dysphoria but nothing wrong with wanting the other perks that come with it like more respect, attractiveness, etc

The thing is with men, what they want and what they will settle with is different, most men want Kim K or Mariah Carey Figures and will settle for a 5/10. On the other hand women want what they want and won’t make exceptions.

Not all women of course, mostly millennials like me, but there are a lot of exceptions too
