Introducing Height Verification
29 MARCH 2019
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.

Oh, and by the way? Only 14.5% of the U.S. male population is actually 6’ and beyond. So, we’re expecting to see a huge decline in the 80% of males on Tinder who are claiming that they are well over 6 feet. That’s fine by us — as long as we’re all living our truths.
Tinder’s HVB is coming soon to a phone near you.

As for Tinder I welcome height restrictions, why not, if we're going to fuck around with the algorithms, can we also have a way to block landwhales, militant feminists, and the other milieu of undesirable women that make up the other 98 percent of tinder outside of the thots?

A pussy odometer, perhaps?

 

[Mr. A. L. Mao]

It's important for women to be able to be deceptive about those things. It helps them circumvent the bigotry of men who don't have female values.

Before you touch a Thot, just say "Give me the TwatFax™"

Who cares about that anyway? So long as you only use tinder for its intended purpose as a source for rape/murder victims, personality really isn't important.

 

[User names must be unique]

An odourmeter would be a welcome addition.

Next should be weight verification.
Lots of chicks who have shots at an angle, where they look tinner.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

I know what you're saying, it is kind of dehumanizing to be reduced to data on a profile and a few pics but that's how humans are in this day and age. We have work schedules, gym sessions, meal times and fuck "dates". Welcome to modern society.

Not everyone, just people in big left-leaning cities

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

I'm going to use forced perspective photography to register as 57 feet tall.

Despite that my penis will only increase to 3 inches...

 

[CWCissey]

Tech companies are ruining April Fools Day now.

Also, wait for the influx of Tinder pictures with Manlets standing next to buildings in Legoland

 

[Mr. A. L. Mao]

But you're a man, with a larger brain and pattern matching abilities, able to discern that all woman with the Myspace angle are actually fatties.
Meanwhile, women aren't good with measurements and thus grossly overestimate how far they are away from that cars bumper, what 8 inches really is, how much time they have until they hit the wall, etc.
If you think of it this way, giving them a leg up here is equality, and it's beautiful

 

[whatever I feel like]

OP reads like a fetish story.

Who cares about that anyway? So long as you only use tinder for its intended purpose as a source for rape/murder victims, personality really isn't important.

For me personally Tinder has been an excellent resource for human skin.

 

[John Titor]

8 feet or gtfo.

 

[Ineedahero]

Penis size verification next please. It's THE most important thing on a man. All these small dicked losers can Btfo.

Simply input your true and honest penis size with a screenshot of your dick next to any commercial building. We’ll do some state-of-the-art verifying and you’ll receive your badge directly on your profile.

 

[queue-anon]

I think age verification is way more useful. Does Tinder do that?

Dealing with liars is part and parcel of online dating, but a significant lie about age goes from annoying/pathetic to creepy.

 

[Cilleystring]

They should just take all the measurements of height, dick size, income, all the things @Mr. A. L. Mao said etc. And give an overall Chad rating, with the highest Chads being boosted to the first thing women see in their selected radius. That way they women wont even see those little incel sneaker fish unless they go through all the Chad's, normies, and whatever else is in between Chad and incel.

-10 points for any fuck who plays Wonderwall

[Gone_Fission]

It's amazing how similar modern dating is to buying shit off Amazon.

 

[Florence]

You mean I can finally filter out chicks under 6’0 and get the tall girl of my dreams?

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

But how does this affect womanlets?

 

[Mr. A. L. Mao]

Also Im not a pathetic manlet im 1,78 and i dont care!

I'm sorry dude, thoughts and prayers...
