Yeah, you have the most deadliest typo in there for online dating. Of all of them, that one is the nail in the coffin.

I actually was talking to some other guy on Bumble and I had to ask why every single guy could say nothing about themselves but will always mention their height. He said women will actually not even engage if there is no height because they are very picky about that. M did not put his height but I didn't even look for it. Never even asked when I was talking to him. I just showed up to our first date to a guy who was 6'2". Women are pretty darned vain when it comes to that. I understand maybe not wanting to be like 5 inches taller, but I know many women who won't consider dating anyone under 6 feet tall and they are under 5'3".

I guess everyone has their preferences.


I wouldn't say I'm vain about the height thing, but I'm 5'11" flat footed so I would prefer a guy taller than me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't talk to someone or go out with someone shorter, but tall is a preference, like many other qualities are. It seems to me, though, that men have a height preference for shorter women too, so I think it works both ways. My XH was shorter than me, but just barely. Truck guy was quite a bit shorter than me. Sparky, blessedly, is several inches taller than me. He's about 6'3".

J, I'm wondering the same thing about the typo. I see 2 actually, but neither of them strike me as the deadliest typo as G put it. I'm curious now............and now that I have read your Bumble thing a million times trying to find it, I have to get back to work.
