Nah, man. I'm 5''11-1/2" and I'll just put on basketball shoes. Done and dusted.
not that I can actually see myself ever using Tinder, but any company that does an april fools day joke before it's april fools day instantly goes on my never support ever again list... so I at least won't recommend my friends trying it out anymore.
I love April Fools, but there are rules -_-
The simple one is... it's gotta be April 1st where you are located when you post the joke :/

I love March 29th jokes, they're hilarious. Haha, gotcha! March 29th! I love to shout it, after I prank my friends.
Glad I'm not the only one that dies when they see the posture thing lol
They are struggling with both to be honest. I know that online they don't really get many matches, but when they do, it seems like it doesn't go past one date. And in person...about the same, to be honest. I haven't paid that much attention to their dating attempts, but yeah I imagine their issues aren't height despite them claiming as much. I mean I haven't seen them interact with their dates before so who knows, maybe they're telling the truth? It's just, well, yeah.
It's weird but that's how it is, people still consider 5'10'' to be short. At least in the dating/hook up world. I have no idea why. Always thought it was average/a bit tall? I dunno.
I'm loving reading the replies from guys that obviously read the OP and instantly hit Post Reply button!
I would say 5'8" to about 6'0" is average. At least in North America. Short and tall to me are people that stick out immediately compared to others. I think the best advantage tall people have is that they stand out in every group they're in and draw everyone's eye in the room. Short people unfortunately are the exact opposite.
Prolly because 5'10" dudes lie and just say they're 6', and 5'8" dudes claim 5'10", etc.
So when someone says they're 5'10" people imagine someone shorter than actual 5'10" lol.
I'm actually 5'10" and no one has ever called me short. Dudes even try to say I'm taller than 5'10" because they're 5'10" and I'm taller than them lol.
The reason height absolutely matters on dating apps is because girls have little reason for it not to. Most girls aren't going to have a lack of options when swiping so it if it comes down to "random guy I don't know much about versus this other random guy I don't know much about who is 4 inches taller," it seems fairly straightforward. As many have said, when real world and personality become involved, height matters much less.
A real 5'10" isn't short but most people add an inch or two.
Bruh, are you me?
(I'm unrealistically high rn so apologies if this post makes no sense)
Sacrificing myself to the 6' Gods. I'm not worthy for the Womanz
if that were the "joke" they did for april fools, the internet would explode with the backlash that was directed at tinder. How about they stop making fun of physical traits of people and not help normalize that shit
Yeah I'm 5'10" 1/2 and see this all the time.
My wife is 5'7" and she's always calling out dudes at bars. She'll have me stand next to them. So many people add two inches to their height it's hilarious. We meet dudes short than I am trying to say they're 5'11"
Man am I glad to be married and out of the game. I know that's a prank but it's plausible because of how it really is in the online dating world. I don't miss it. Thankfully I met my wife on match.com which is like old-school and shitty and didn't encourage such snap decision making/shallowness as Tinder. Everybody is much more interesting if you get more of a chance to talk to them and see what they're about beyond the profile picture.
Uhhh this is clearly a joke, I dunno how people thought otherwise.
In the very small chance that it isn't, lol @ Tinder. I mean, lol @ Tinder in general but this would be especially lol.

You don't need the "/s" because they wouldn't dare have a weight verification joke for April Fools. And I say that as a guy who is over 6' tall. It's weird how acceptable it is to make fun of dudes of average or below-average height. Frankly it's unacceptable.
This reminds me of a podcast I listened to about Jake Gyllenhaal and how he lied about his height and he finally gives confirmation that he's not "happily 6ft" he's like 5'11
Next up will be a length verification system. Just whip it out next to any commercial building. Then they'll do some state-of-the-art verifying and you'll receive your badge directly on your profile.
