While I think it’s totally stupid to lie about height (or anything in an online dating profile) I get why guys do it. If you’re 5’7 or 5’8 and you say it, you pretty much eliminate 75% of the online dating landscape it seems. But if you don’t say height at all, I feel like maybe people assume you’re short. You’re…

Literally seen a profile that said “Like tall, fit guys” and then later on “Sapiosexual”...like THAT’S NOT WHAT THAT MEANS.

Apparently, people just go crazy lying about their height. My friend who’s 5’8 told me she met up with a dude who claimed he was 5’10 but was way shorter than her.

Height is something I don’t consider at all when judging my potential partners. I don’t include my height because I too think it’s ridiculous, but it’s hella discouraging to see how important it seems to, like, everyone. Not just on Tinder but across the dating site landscape.

The traveling thing is crazy to me. I like to travel, sure, but since like most people I get about 10 days of vacation a year, traveling is limited to something that I can’t do all the freaking time, certainly not enough for it to be my main hobby.

Right? If you’re 5’3 can you even tell when a guy is over 6’? I feel like when you’re that heigh everyone is just “really tall”.

Damn, knew I missed one!

Usually it’s either 5’11 or taller or 6’1 or taller. Or they say they’re X height (usually really short) but “like to wear heels” as if some 5’3” woman in heels suddenly towers over any non-NBA player. And a lot of girls are really mean about it “Seriously if your [sic] short fuck off” and “If your [sic] not 6’1 don’t…

It’s exhausting. Like every profile I see is like the following:

Women list their heights too. I never knew that there was so much emphasis on height until I started online dating. If the first thing you want to tell me about yourself is how tall you are, that’s a weird set of priorities.

Man, are women going to be disappointed when they find out how few celebrities are over 6’1” (aka the ultimate Tinder Deal Breaker).

Yeah for sure. Like I said it’s the best way to get your problem handled quickly, because social media people are responsible for keeping the face of a company looking good. But when your correspondence is a bunch of caps locked expletives tweet after tweet, you’re probably not going to get your problem solved as fast…

Stern, forward, and direct are all perfectly acceptable in my opinion. Obviously as someone with a problem you need addressed, you want to be all of those things. There are ways to do it that don’t involve all caps profanity laden tweeting. United definitely has a responsibility toward its customers to not have people…

It’s highly doubtful that the company specifically gave the individual in question authorization to use the N-word. It’s very likely that if it’s found out such a word was used, the individual who used it will lose their job. Getting a company to resolve an issue regarding its employees, via whatever channels, is…

Oh god this is my exact nightmare please no don’t let this happen.

Yeah, I work for a small business and we have a whole team of “customer service reps” whose job it is to handle these types of customer relations and make sure everyone’s satisfied, and then we have me in a totally separate department, single-handedly running all the social media channels. And when someone has a…

Racist incidents like the one Kehlani describes undoubtedly DO happen, but people would do good to avoid speculation and jumping to conclusions. Remember Daniele Watts. When the facts ultimately came out, I believe the truth was quite different than her initial claim of “racial profiling”.

As someone who also runs a company’s social media, I can also sympathize. People never understand that there’s a person sitting on that Twitter/Facebook account and they probably genuinely do want to help you. So yelling at the “company” like it murdered your firstborn usually is just going to ruin someone’s day. I…

I really hope so.

This sums it up so perfectly and is written so much better than the article itself. I’ve never seen so much navel gazing coupled with such overwrought, melodramatic language. It’s like “how can I insert myself forcibly into this discussion while making the least possible impact.” It makes me really sad to see that…
