      I haven’t listened to the podcast so I don’t know how much anger he was really venting, or if he was just having a conversation…

      But it’s a fair point eh?

      I think it’s quite common to throw insults at men anyways as many see it as punching up, just go one tiktok or instagram to see it.

      Height is massive these days for women in dating and nothings gonna change that so get used to it and over it.

      Dick heads have always existed and if one makes a mean comment about your height they aren’t someone you want to date anyways.

      Personally have no problem with there being a height filter as long as being a male user of the app I’m able to filter based on other characteristics.

      Have tinder actually rolled this out? I always thought they were vehemently opposed to this type of filter?

      I’m sure male users of the app who are under 6ft (like myself) already immediately swipe left on any profile which lists height close to or above theirs or alludes to height being a dealbreaker.

      >“You had the fat acceptance movement, and while there’s still issues, you would never go, ‘well, how much do you weigh’? But it’s perfectly acceptable for people to go, ‘how tall are you’?” she said.

      I feel sorry for shorter men who encounter this hurdle all the time on dating apps, but I don’t agree with the sentiment. If a woman wants a taller man, that’s what she wants. Is she supposed to just somehow change what she’s attracted to just to be nice? It goes exactly the same way with weight too – sure it may be more of a societal faux pas to just ask someone what they weigh, but at the end of the day if you’re fat and they’re not attracted to that, they can’t help it and that’s how it is, it’s not going to work out.

      There’s no point avoiding the issue on the apps – you’ll just be pushing it further down the line to meeting in person and disappointing them then. People like what they like. Might as well find out you’re incompatible sooner rather than later, save you both the time.

      As a big guy, I hate it. Have had women make jokes mocking guys being smaller than me, as though I should take it as a compliment and laugh along.

      I just don’t get it.

      I know we all can have aspects we find more attractive, and even physical points of attraction that are a ride or die. I think all of us can understand that.

      But I don’t get how people can think it’s acceptable to turn those issues of personal attraction into fair game for mockery. They might not be your type, but they’re still people with feelings.

      I know a lot of the coversation here has been from the dating angle, but I think height judgement between men is a thing. I’ve worked some pretty physical jobs and the smaller guys have to work twice as hard to get respect. I know if Im really honest about it I’ve taken people less seriously because they were so unimposing.

      He’s been on tv and a presenter since 1972 – I’m a bit short on sympathy for Mr Robinson.

      Would it be socially acceptable for men to wear shoe inserts to increase their height, and list that on dating apps instead? Afterall, men and women engage in trickery to enhance their natural appearance anyway.

      I caught myself doing this unconsciously earlier today, saw a short king holding hands with an attractive woman and thought “hmm, that’s unusual”.

      I don’t think it is really that unusual, but it’s definitely problematic that that was what popped into my head.

      Robert Jenrick is 5’5”
      Napoleon was also on the small side.
      A. Hitler wasn’t a giant
      I am sure there is a theory worth developing here about Right Wing firebrands but as for Tony Robinson he is the darling of the left and so immune from “short bloke syndrome”
