Re: female friends
You are both outgoing, like a drink, have a body odour issue, etc.
You would make a good double act.

Hinge advice from someone who's used it for years and had two fairly brief relationships (3/4 months) but relationships nonetheless come from it:Highfield wrote: ↑Mon May 12, 2025 10:32 pmThey wont date me either cause of my height. This is ow i went on on hinge dating
Are you looking for something serious or casual? - serious
Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? - Hinge +
How long have you been using this current version of your profile? - a month and 2 day
How long have you used Hinge overall? - 4 years
How often do you use Hinge per week? - everyday
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? - 1 like from bot 2 matches from bot
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? - loads of both
What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? - outgoing ladies
got disaproved because i complained about how women dont like me coz of mty height
- Don't pay for the subscription ffs. Any man paying for membership on any dating app, be it Hinge, Tinder or Bumble, is being scammed. I used to pay like £100 a year for Tinder Gold circa 2018 and it did absolutely nothing. Granted at the time I looked like an obese chewbacca, but the odds are stacked massively against men on apps. If you don't get likes, remind yourself that almost all men get barely any likes and even the most average woman gets hundreds, it's just the way it is.
- Don't max your likes out in one day. These apps have algorithms which punish people who use them too much or not enough. This happens to men and women. If you're desperate, the computer figures it out. Instead, memorize how many likes you're allocated get in a day and always leave one or two spare, the app will view you as "higher value" and push you further up the queue. Go on it for like 10 minutes and then leave and maybe come back later in the day for another 10 minutes, don't spam for hours unless you're talking to a match.
- Speaking of which, don't waste your time with liking women that don't look like genuine people, ie outrageously glamorous models that you may have nothing in common with based on their profile. Hit X on the profile that everyone else likes, you'll be "rewarded" by the algorithm and save yourself the stress of someone disingenuous. Instead prioritise interests, someone you think looks nice but has the same hobbies as you. If you want outgoing, comment on something they like/are doing in the photo, rather a compliment on how they look. You'll get a better gauge on their personality then.
- How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? Any woman who demands 6ft + as an outright deal-breaker is shallow, immature and not worth your time, it'll never work out. Unless of course they are on the taller side, that's perfectly understandable that they want a tall man. Don't complain to women about women, instead have the attitude that if they have an issue with you, then they weren't meant for you.
- Make your profile unique. Don't fucking mention eating roasts on a Sunday, loving dogs, controversially eating pineapple on pizza, travelling or anything like that, it's trite boring shite.
- If you do end up meeting someone, build a conversation and mutual trust, then try get their number after a day or two. The longer you stay on the app, the more they lose interest. If that works out and they give you it, then they might well be up for a date.
And above all else, this is just advice for apps, coming from someone who is shite at approaching women in person

Good luck mate

It’s just not true. Needs a good scrub and some aftershave. And to leave the house.

Re: female friends
I can think of at least three mates I've had over the years who were 5ft 9 at best, yet had no trouble attracting women.
Height helps, but it isn't the be all and end all.

Re: female friends
I bumped into a friend I had in the 2000s a few years ago. He claimed to be 5ft 9, but that was almost certainly a lie (I'm only 6ft and I towered over him).The Thorn wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 12:28 pmI'm 5'9"sennafan24 wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 12:25 pm I can think of at least three mates I've had over the years who were 5ft 9 at best, yet had no trouble attracting women.

When we used to hang around together he dated some exceptionally attractive women and had no shortage of admirers. He was far more successful than the friends I had at the time who were 6ft plus actually.

I’m 5’10”, in our group of 16 lads only a couple are 6’ or taller and all but one of us are engaged, married or in a relationship. Just isn’t important.
