Unfortunately, Match in the US doesn't have this sort of meticulous screening. I haven't used Match personally, but from speaking to friends who have they've said that there are plenty of profiles that are clearly fake or people trying to scam desperate, lonely individuals. Match has been known to make fake profiles…

Seriously. Shockingly, sometimes the younger woman is the one who prefers to date older men! Not all men with younger women are creepers, my boyfriend is enough visually older than me that he's concerned that people will think he is, and jackholes like that don't help.

In my experience, a lot of "nice guys" really don't understand that dating ain't that easy for unattractive women, either, because they only focus on dating conventionally attractive women when they aren't attractive themselves.

I was a nerdy, chubby, awkward teenager who didn't date much. I happily would have dated…

I think that somewhat has to do with meeting the right person. Before meeting my current boyfriend with whom I'm very serious, I was a commitment phobe who only did the casual thing. When I met him, that just changed and now I'm happily monogamous.

Some people just aren't meant to be monogamous and there are plenty…

Honestly, so much of healthy eating is getting away from processed foods, as opposed to diversity of the foods you eat. While being an adventurous eater might win you points on a date, you can be a very healthy eater while centering around a few foods that you like.

First step? Learn the basics of cooking and freezing…

What points of interest is this complex near? I grew up near Kingston, just on the other side of the border, but I can't quite remember where this is based on the streets.

Yea, seriously. Although I did have a nice moment when a guy who constantly complains about how picky women are was ribbing me about it. "So," I said "You're making fun of me for dating a short guy, but if I'd rejected him for being short, you'd call me a shallow bitch, right?"

Silence. Crickets. Sputtering. Nothing.

B…

My boyfriend is sex on a stick, and he's 5'3''. If a guy is hot, he's hot no matter his height.

I see where you're coming from, and I think people are jumping all over you when they shouldn't be.

I'm not going to be one of those people who say's "buck up, you'll find someone." You sound similar to my best friend, and I would be lying if I said dating hasn't been a challenge for him because he's a bigger guy who…

Yes, I realize that the stereotype is that women like taller men, but that could also be the circles you travel in. As a lefty involved in an activist crowd, there are plenty of women taller than the man, woman fatter than the man, hotter men with with less attractive women, etc. Basically, all sorts of dating…

Great way of putting it. My boyfriend is 5'3'', one of the sexiest men I've ever met, and an incredibly amazing person. All of those women who rejected him because of something as arbitrary as height? They didn't deserve someone as awesome as he is, anyway.

It's fine to have a preference towards taller men.…

Seriously. Those who will never enjoy shower sex sans the fear of breaking one's neck, I pity you.

I've heard it's easier for redheaded women who are otherwise considered attractive, though, since a hot redhead stands out more than a hot brunette or a hot blonde. But for an average/not so average looking woman? I would think that would definitely be a detriment.

Good point. When I was on OKCupid, I got so many responses that I would often delete the short/generic/dirty ones without looking at the profile. I can see how a guy who already thinks women don't like him because he's short doesn't bother writing a personal message. So when the woman deletes it, he thinks it's…

Yes, the reason I find my 5'3'' boyfriend so sexy is because he's so famous, being a sales manager at a small local company and all. Oh wait.

I realize anecdata isn't fact, but neither is making sweeping generalizations about one gender.

Maybe it's because a tall woman is already used to feeling "larger" than some men, so society screaming "YOU MUST BE WITH A BIGGER MAN THAN YOU" is easier to ignore?

I've never cared about height, and at 5'4'' most guys are taller than me while my short friends seem to be obsessed with the tallest guys they can find.…

OH GOD yes. I think that gif just got me pregnant.

5'9'' seems to be the arbitrary cut-off for height in online dating, a la the 135 lbs cut off you'll often find on men's profiles.

When I was on OKCupid, I had no height requirement/cut offs. I've never cared about height, so it wasn't an issue. My very serious boyfriend and I met on there. He's 5'3'', and said that…

Seriously. My boyfriend is 5'3'', I'm 5'4'', and if anything we can have even crazier sex because our genitals are at the same level so logistical problems of height difference are erased.

The whole sexual mechanics things is not just weird, but at least in my experience, wrong. I'm 5'4'', my boyfriend is 5'3'', and the two of us can pull of some craaaaaaazy moves that I hadn't been able to in the past with taller guys. Genitals being at the same level=many positions/tricks becoming much easier.

I've…
