Corona times. Signed up on Tinder. Got a match after 2 weeks or so. We chatted for 5 days straight. Now, getting a match itself seemed like an achievement. She's Scandinavian. I'm Indian. But, we seemed to have a connection and she said I was very funny and witty. Sixth day she proposes to meet for 'fika'. Asks me if I like girl in high heels as some men find it intimidating if the girl is near their height or taller. I said you're probably already taller and it's not an issue. She asks how tall? I say 165. And then drops the H-bomb. You seem so much taller in the photos. You'd be so great if only you were 175! We'd look weird together. And I got blocked.

I had a pretty detailed bio when I signed up which incl. my height. After getting no matches for a couple of weeks, I figured that even the most unshallow and open minded women will need to have some criteria to filter out the scores of guy profiles and I dropped that bit of info. I don't support hiding or lying about physical attributes. Well, you can never really hide height or weight. But, it just might give you a slim chance where she might consider you for your other important qualities. The matches started when I edited out the height part. The rest of the bio was the same. I understand your point about being practical and not wasting time. But, why should I bring up my height at all as if there's something wrong with me that I need to warn her about. Frankly, after the initial good convos, I hadn't thought about it at all. This point should be brought up by the girl if she deems it a deal breaker.
