Tinder weight filter

    Why doesn't tinder have a weight filter? I should be able to choose to only appear to non fat girls.

    Most of the likes I get are from fat ones. The gall of them. I'm in good shape. Why would they think I'm interested in an over weight person?

    Don't use it then. Remove yourself from the dating, and gene, pool.

    Just put that in your profile. "No fatties!!". I'm sure that'll work out for you...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,413 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    How do you know that these women who you deem to be unworthy of you have liked or swiped right on you unless you've done the same for their profiles?

    Bigger girls really put in the effort, don't knock it till you've tried it.

    Well, you couldn't knock it as such, more see your whole hand disappear, but you'll see what I mean.

    Thier picture is only pixelated. People who swiped you right appear in your queue. It's easy to compare the pixelated image to a profile image.

    I'm guessing you don't use Tinder?

    Almost everyone on there is a weightlifter. And I'm only looking at the women.

    It is not your shape that should matter to these girls.






    It's probably your facial appearance. Sadly not much you can do there so settle for what Tinder gives you.......... Also how do you know you get likes from "fat people" unless you like them yourself.

    I think you are suppressing your real feelings and have a fetish for the curves.

    If tinder works the way I think it does, probably should stop swiping right then OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,413 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Does tinder have a height filter? If so only fair to have a weight filter.

    Nope. Age and distance are your only options other than gender. A lot of people do mention their height on profile and have seen "I'm a bigger girl" on a few too.

    But its ok for them to do it, just because.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,660 ✭✭✭armaghlad


    I have on my tinder bio saying no to the following:
    Big units
    Baby mamas
    Tattoos
    Vegans

    A lot of bigger girls can be quite deceptive with their profile pics. Snapchat filters and generous angles can give unsuspecting gents like the OP the impression that the young wan he’s talking to is a size 10 or below. This is not cool. That’s like me standing on a crate pretending to be 6”5’


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 710 ✭✭✭ginandtonicsky


    People would only lie about their weight anyway. The amount of "6 foot" guys I used to meet on tinder that were more like 5"7 was astounding.

    But isn't that because of the whole women won't date shortarse guys?....
    conversely... guys don't want big girls...so we see profile pics taken from a height and with cheeks sucked in ...
    I know that they are both generalisations... but there is more than a few people who that would refer to on dating sites

    Women will go for taller, men will go for slimmer, so the shorter and fatter sorts will lie.

    It's a while since I've online dated but I do remember putting a full-body shot up specifically because I kept being asked for one when I got into conversations with guys - presumably in a "making sure she's not deceptively twice the alleged size" kind of way.

    Don't get why people bother if the objective is to pick up dates, it's not like you can keep up the lie in person!

    I'm actually a fan of the fuller figure myself :)
    But I think a lot of people won't reveal all about themselves in a profile pic...or their bio.. as they feel slightly vulnerable... putting it all out there to be judged by strangers and to be found not good enough....

    Society tells us we must meet a partner the old fashioned way...to use a dating site in some people's eyes is an admittance of failure of conventional norms ( more so in years gone by thank feck) but perhaps some still feel the stigma... dunno just spitballing

    They say the ones who talk most about sex are the ones not getting any.

    I'm going to have to say the opposite must be true too. You wouldn't say that if you weren't getting any.

    Celibacy sucks..trust me

    Not if someone is asexual or has a low sex drive. Or if masturbation/sex toys are sufficient for their needs. More likely to be women than men I've no doubt though.

    Lack of sex does appear to be more damaging to men.

    Years ago I went on an internet date and found the girl to be way heavier than her pictures indicated. Had been nervous going because I thought I was playing near the top of my league.

    Really couldn’t understand why she put up those pics, she was going to be rumbled as soon as anyone met her.

    A big unit is the same as a big yoke. Your slang is not universal ye know.

    I love how women can get away with saying no one under 6 ft and there's no uproar but god forbid if a man mentions a womans appearance

    Why call women either? It's just that that bravado from grown men is unnecessary. Women don't refer to men as things.

    Don't think that's the case on this thread though. Personally I cringe at women doing that too. Really lets the side down. If a man isn't attracted to overweight women, that's just his involuntary preference, which there is nothing wrong with. I don't care if he even puts it in his profile, because weight can be lost.

    Whereas women who say 6ft only are discriminating based on something a man can't control. And they're ruling out lots of great guys who are maybe 5ft 9 or 10. But I doubt any well adjusted guy would want to get involved with a woman who puts that stupid specification on her profile.

    But they can't get away with it, theres a thread of people here and in other parts of boards giving out about women who do just that

    I'm not so sure. I think if a woman started a thread about a bunch of shortarses messaging her she'd be annihilated as some up her own hole bint.

    Everyone has something they find attractive or unattractive. There's nothing wrong with that. But advertising it kind of seems a bit needless and/or narcissistic.

    Although saying that..even as a bit of a shortie myself I don't particularly have a problem with men or women wanting certain heights...some of it is purely down to logistics.

    I dated online in the past, I'm 177cm, or 178/ 5,10 in shoes easily,

    I wouldnt go putting in 5'9.5 down, met a girl online that said she was 5'7" she was from the continent, dont think she could calculate metric to imperial, she was more like 5'11" and I could tell she was a bit put out, didnt suit me but the error was hers, we agreed to go our ways rather than sit through the awkwardness, but I made it clear to her it wasnt like I said I was 6".
    I can see why the OP is put out, I wouldnt be interested in dating someone that isnt at least average weight, Im not in model cover shape myself,could do with losing a few kgs but being overweight to me means you cant stop stuffing the buns into your cake hole, exercising recently and doing the calculations, I know its difficult to shed a small amount of weight as the kcals dont burn off easily.

    I mean personal preference and all that but can you not just use your eyes?

    People are attracted to who they’re attracted to anyway. Some people don’t like heavier folks and some people won’t bother with short-arses, just something you have to take on the chin.
