As a six-foot tall man, I applaud Tinder’s new height feature.
Recently, hook-up app Tinder started “trialling” a new feature that allows members to set a PREFERENCE for height. I capitalized “preference,” because so far it’s just that. It’s not a permanent filter. Many shorties were squealing nonetheless about how it was “over for short kings.”
