@SmolChlo Get that nut.

@Olo call me a chipmunk bc my cheeks are gonna be filled

@Olo reminds me of this post I saw a few days ago. Gotta love the reactions of tall guys when for once they don’t fit the criterias of online dating apps.

[Olo]

@foreverlurk Pardon my “racism,” but tall dudes sure seem to be even more entitled than dudes in general.

• 5’9" and fine

@Olo That hasn’t been my experience, but then again… You all look tall from down here

[Olo]

@littlest-lily I’m fairly certain my personality will be affected when I perfect my shrink ray.

[SmolChlo]

@Olo the “racist” remark absolutely sent me LOL but I agree with you on that one. I’m sure looking down on people all day long will probably make you feel a tad superior than the rest

[Olo]

@SmolChlo I imagine that seven-footers must feel like grade school teachers wherever they go.

[SmolChlo]

@Olo without a doubt All this commotion going on at their waist and they just casually ignore us inferior smols and continue to glide right through like a parted sea

like… ignore me harder

5’8" and (mostly) fine.

That’s one thing I hate about dating apps. I mean, I understand that we all have our preferences, and I’d be a hypocrite to deny I like short(er) girls (or redheads… ), but I wouldn’t reject a girl simply because she’s a brunette or my taller than me. But for some people it’s a non-negociable criteria. I guess tall dudes aren’t as used to being rejected based on their height, so it’s a new experience for them, thus the knee-jerk reactions in that girl’s post.

Seriously I don’t think it’s conscious but just like beauty, height is still an advantage and privilege in spite of our modern societies. Height has always been correlated to average salary, and beautiful people can get away with uglier behavior than most.

@Olo Hell yeah~

Also I feel the need to specify that I haven’t found shorter guys to be more dickish than taller ones either. Just that I haven’t noticed a correlation between height and dickishness in my own experience, but that this might also be because I’m 5’2" and it truly is hard to tell sometimes haha

No doubt. “What is this woke nonsense?”

I’ve never used a dating app, but I suspect that growing up with porn that is not only easily accessible but also highly customizable encourages people to form inflexible preferences early, much earlier than they would had they experienced a wider range of possible partners in their formative years. Then dating apps come along and they feel obliged to specify a preference for each and every choice menu offered.

I’m waiting for the dating app that lets me specify on my profile: “I’m 5’9”, but I can make you feel 4"-tall when you want it."

@littlest-lily We need to find you a surly 4’10" guy.
