I add photos of my doing activities and visiting places and fill my bio with fun facts about me and my interests. I also added my height to my profile because I know most women prefer taller men, and I thought that if they swiped right, then they would be okay with my height.
I used dating apps for over a year and a half across four platforms and only got two matches that promptly unmatched me. No matter how often I updated my profile with new pictures or revised my bio, nothing changed, and I got no matches.
This put me in a dark place, and I had to stop using dating apps and start to go to therapy because of it. I understand that five feet as a man is abnormally short, but it feels like I'm not worthy of love, no matter how much I try to improve myself.
I stopped using dating apps and tried to meet people in person, but I heard that some women think that being approached by someone they don't know is creepy, and you could get posted on social media or get into legal trouble for approaching someone. Unfortunately, I don't think dating apps will go away. According to a paper by Michael J.
I hope to find someone who can look past my height no pun intended. My friends men and women told me that's where the serious potential partners were. I read each profile before swiping, and the women I matched with 'checked all the boxes': kind, well-educated, independent, ambitious, and adventurous. After two months, I had over 70 matches a great boost for my self-esteem.
