    I’ve now changed it back but I’ve realised, you’re not ugly, you’re not poor, you’re not unfunny, you’re just short.

    This may be true for dating apps because there’s not much else to go on other than physical characteristics and career.

    But irl my 5’5 friend easily attracts more girls than me (5’10).
