People downplay the importance of height preferences on dating sites/apps.

Genuinely, I don’t have any issues with dating shorter men. I don’t care. What I’m saying is how other men have expressed to me how they feel about my height is similar to how women feel about yours. I don’t know why you would say I feel uncomfortable or that I don’t want to be taller, because it isn’t the case. Men that are shorter than me have expressed their displeasure with my height and have chosen not to have a second date because of it.

I started playing baseball. I suck at it. But I’ve met a lot of great people through it.

I will never ever go on tinder or any of those apps. I don’t care how many people use them. I refuse to be someone’s swipe right or left and be ordered online like take out. I put more value into myself than that app provides. It just makes people feel like shit and it’s mostly shallow people. I have no use for that in my life. I had also found that the people that value people over their looks, don’t use sites like that. Pretty poor excuse to say you’re going to continue using something that is obviously making you feel like crap about something so insignificant, because it’s convenient. Don’t repeat the same behaviour expecting different results. There are lots of women like me that love someone’s personality, not their height.

I truly don’t think this is about your height though. I think you have some unresolved trauma that affected your confidence and how you feel about yourself.
