The problem is it’s NOT one of the cardinal sins of art. Very famous, very successful artists do this sort of thing all the time, under the guys of “appropriation” arguing the work is “derivative” and “transformative”. It’s one of the core tenets of (today’s) art world. I’m not defending it, it’s one of the things…

Something like 90% of the adult population in the US are carriers for oral herpes. It’s insanely widespread. Most people just don’t know they have it.

Brienne of Tarth should be everyone’s role model. I can most def relate to the whole “heart being in the right place while failing spectacularly at nearly everything.”

I do appreciate that you were being facetious, but your comment coupled with the level of snark in the post itself just got under my skin a bit. I’m not even a tall woman (I’m an average height dude) but Jez’s weird height slamming lately is striking me as a bit strange.

“Lighten up right?”

So someone faces a different set of issues than you and your response is to say “oh boo hoo”? How are their problems somehow less valid than yours?

I don’t know what Jezebel’s deal is with height lately. First, making a big deal that maybe Jon Snow is a little short, now basically shaming tall women?

Still, autoplay is no fun. Also, the ad was 30 seconds and unskippable. BOO I say!

Probably for the best. The standards that most people impose on their online dates seem absurdly higher than anything anyone is looking for meeting dates through mutual friends, or at a bar. If this is truly the future of relationships, people either need to relax their arbitrary standards a bit, or all hope is lost…

Autoplay ad?

I do see what you’re saying, but what’s weird is the way so many women seem to embrace it. And yeah, if online dating has taught me anything it’s that there are lots of shallow jerks out there. A lot of profiles are so demanding and haughty they actually read like lists of reasons NOT to date the person. It may be the…

I see that a lot on women’s profiles: “I don’t date black guys. Sorry not racist just don’t like ‘em.” I’m not black, but I would never try to match with a woman who thought that way. It’s disgusting.

I’m glad to see there are women who don’t feel this way. It’s genuinely disheartening, and maybe it’s just where I live, but the height thing seems to run deep for a lot of women. It goes beyond online dating...whenever I’ve discussed it with women in my social circle, I’ve never had anyone say it didn’t matter at…

Yes, it does say that in this article, you’re right. I had missed that.

Your theory is based on your long experience of dating liars.

I tend to avoid online dating and Tinder because of this. A disturbing amount of women’s profiles make it clear that they want NOTHING to do with any man under 6 feet tall. It’s very odd that people are so blatantly dismissive like that. It seems like it’d be akin to a man’s profile saying “36DD only please!” or…

Never in my life have I attended a school that allowed boys to wear this kind of clothing. Most schools with any kind of dress code absolutely forbid tank tops on women as well as men.

Until you got to the open wheeled cups where they were ALL F1 cars!

If women’s online dating profiles have taught me anything, it’s that EVERY woman cares. Online dating is full of 5’4” women demanding that anyone who dares contact or match with them be 6 foot+. It’s enough to make a 5’10” guy feel like Tyrion.

It’s sad, but more than that, it’s such a jarring, immediate thing that I couldn’t move on to the last page for a few minutes and had to close the book, get up and walk around for a while to clear my head.
