As a woman privy to other women’s dating experiences, I cannot stress enough how the 666 obsessed crowd are just objectively worse partners. Guys who don’t meet it (generally height wise) swear that they just need a foot in the door and dating apps make the girls pickier, and had they met irl they’d do fine. Though that’s often true, most 666 girls have definitely dated outside 666 when picked up by a guy out and about, if I was a guy I think I’d like if they self selected against me. If I was a dude on dating apps 6’-6’3" I’d list 5’11" just to avoid these women. Just because maybe they’d date <6’ if they met someone irl does not erase that they are superficial and judgy. We all have our quirks and maybe they’re ok with some superficiality so long as they get a partner, but these are some of the worst partners I have seen. It’s extremely frustrating to see guys caught up in this. If you’re not enough for them on paper, you’ll never be enough for them, even if they do settle for you. Some guys might be happy with that, so long as they have a partner, but they will just not love you the way someone who does not care about those things will, even if you do meet the criteria. Your perspective is undoubtedly saving you a lot of time dating bad people.
I did eventually lower my height on Bumble to 5’11" just to slim out the limited few who wouldn’t date short. But I got more than one asking this question, and that’s just a little weird. It’s not like they walk into date 1 with a tape measurer. I in fact learned the hard way to remove quite a few things from my profile to not give off the wrong indicators. I’m rocking a dad bod, bald up top, so weight and super model looks are not what I’m judging against. Plus it would so look so awkward if I carried a scale /s.
Doesn’t matter now, I’m in Spain and American numbers just don’t matter. So far, Women here my age want a caring partner, stability, someone who doesn’t sit at home watching TV when it’s sunny out and most of all, compassion for fellow humans.
It’s very strange to hear what people think is acceptable on dating apps nowadays. Glad your experience in Spain has been positive. Hope you find the right person.
