Tinder introduces height verification [April Fool]

[Uncle at Nintendo]

Say goodbye to height fishing.


Let's be real, when it comes to online dating — honesty is the best policy. Yes, your height matters as long as every other shallow aspect of physical attraction does. Please try not to take it to heart.


It's come to our attention that most of you 5'10ers out there are actually 5'6. The charade must stop. This type of dishonestly doesn't just hurt your matches — it hurts us, too. Did it ever occur to you that we're 5'6 and actually love our medium height? Did it ever occur to you that honesty is what separates humans from sinister monsters? Of course not.


You were only thinking of yourself. Well, height-lying ends here. To require everyone under 6' to own up to their real height, we're bringing truthfulness back into the world of online dating.

Introducing Tinder's Height Verification Badge (HVB), because yes -- sometimes it matters

It's the tool we've had in our back-pockets for years, but we were hoping your honesty would allow us to keep it there. Our verification tool is super easy to use, and extremely hard to misuse.

Here's how it works:

Simply input your true, accurate height with a screenshot of you standing next to any commercial building. We'll do some state-of-the-art verifying and you'll receive your badge directly on your profile.

At least y'all can still lie about your dick size.

[Strafer]

I'm not ashamed of my small dick.

Not that it matters anyway, will never find anyone.

 

[Sheng Long]

Inevitable length verification app appearing someday.

 

[molnizzle]

Did they mean to publish this on Monday? lol

 

[Cheapstare]

April 1

 

[Seesaw15]

April Fools jokes days before April 1st are always lame.

 

[Einchy]

Tyler really trying to pretend to be 6'2" when he's 5'9", come on man...

 

[HStallion]

This seems incredibly easy to beat lol. Stand next to a next to any commercial building in some lifts and you're 6'1"

Edit: Oh well guess they got me lol

 

[CreepingFear]

Fucking April Fools.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Doing April Fool's pranks before April 1st is dumb as shit

 

[Deleted member 46493]

Its a joke but it's interesting how little problem I have dating while being short (5 7) if I keep it as IRL as possible. Internet dating really makes people picky (including me of course). Might go back to dating in the summer so I'll hope for the best.

 

[Maneil99]

It's an april fools prank

 

[hitme]

Half of Tinder users gone.

 

[RedMercury]

Why would someone lie about their height, not only is dishonesty and trying to trick people stupid, your lie would be found out immediately.

[Kusagari]

[Alwayscrazybacon]

[Deleted member 9932]

A profile verification would be neat (like bumble has)

 

[adj_noun]

Is this an on-season April Fools joke

 

[Bronx-Man]

This better be a fucking April Fool's joke.

 

[Deleted member 721]

[Deleted member 1248]

Maximum coverage over the weekend.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I know its a joke but at 5'3 this would ruin me. You must be this tall to go on an adult date

 

[Dead Guy]

Like I said before this better be an April fools joke otherwise it's incredibly shitty.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Why wouldn't this be real? Anything they can verify, they have an interest in having as accurate.

 

[Dennis8K]

What about girth?

 

[adj_noun]

The text pretty much screams THIS IS A JOKE DO NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY into a bullhorn.

 

[BasilZero]

Early April fools like a early Thursday "Black Friday"

I just can't...

 

[Subba]

An optional height and weight verification feature would be great. I'm sick of fat chicks.

 

[Trickster]

I just wanna take a moment to thank Microsoft for not participating in this shit

[LebGuns]

lol they gave it away with the whole stand next to a building bit

 

[Uno Venova]

When is the weight verification coming?

 

[hateradio]

Honestly, I was thinking about this recently. Couldn't someone just stand higher up or wear certain shoes to make them higher. :lol

However, as someone who is HVB'd at 6' 2", I don't have a problem with it.
