happy 5/10 to all the 5’7″ guys out there putting 5’10” in their dating profiles

I never did this, but I understand why guys do it. I often would put a bit shorter than my actual height as it sorts out the useless chaff. Better fewer of those who are really into you than someone who is “meh” on you, or worse.

If guys cared about anything as much as many (not all) women cared about height, the dating world would be very weird. And even worse. The only thing I think comes close is that a lot of men do seem just as obsessed with breasts as many women are single-minded about height. I can’t understand either one.
