Does Tinder Have a Height Option?

Yes. Height is one of the fields you can fill in on Tinder, along with your job, school, city and a handful of others. You add it by opening the editing screen behind the pencil icon. Tinder adds that the information options may vary by location. They might not be available to every user, so if you do not see the field, that is the likely reason.

Open Tinder, or go to Tinder.com in a browser. Select the profile icon. Then choose the pencil icon or Edit Info.

From that screen you can edit height and the other fields Tinder lists: photos, bio, interests, pronouns, relationship goals, languages, job, school and city. Fill in the height, save it, and the number appears for anyone who looks at your card.

If you cannot find it, try the website instead of the phone, and check that the app is up to date. Tinder is clear that some options are not available to everyone, so a missing field is not necessarily a mistake on your end.

This question has two halves, and the second one is about other men's cards and women's cards.

Height only shows when the person has filled it in. A woman who left it blank shows nothing, and the same goes for you. Tinder describes height as an editable field, not as a filter you can set, and this article does not claim you can search by it.

Tinder does say that subscribers can hide specific profile information such as age and distance. Tinder's page gives those two as its examples, so do not assume height can be hidden the same way.

A man who asks whether Tinder has a height field is often a man who is nervous about his own. There are two worries, and they point in opposite directions.

If you are tall, the field does you a small favor, so fill it in.

If you are shorter than average, the instinct is to leave it blank. Think about what that does. A woman who cares about height will assume the worst from a blank, and she will see you on a date regardless. a dating coach's view is that height is not as big a deal as most men believe, though being dramatically short is a turn-off for some women. He points out that a photo can do the damage on its own: one wrong camera angle, or a bad setup, can make a man look about three feet tall when he is nothing of the sort.

So the useful move is to deal with the photos and then be honest about the number.

Round to what a tape measure says, in the shoes you actually wear, and do not add an inch. Women do not cancel a date because a man is slightly shorter than average. They cancel a date because he lied about it, and a lie about height is the easiest one for her to catch, because she can see you across the table.

It also does not hold up in the first ten seconds. A man who lists six feet and arrives at five foot nine has started the date with her wondering what else on his page is stretched.

If the number does not do you any favors, put it in anyway. Let the other things carry you: a clear lead photo, a bio with a specific detail, and a first message that asks her something real.

Since a photo can make you look shorter or taller than you are, choose them with that in mind. Shot from below, with something to show scale, in clothes that fit. A full-length picture next to something she can compare against, like a doorway or a friend of average height, does more than a number does.

Skip the photo where the camera sits high or far away and you look small. Do not rely on one tall-looking shot while the rest suggest otherwise, because the whole set is what she reads.

Tinder has a height field, and you fill it in from the editing screen. It may not appear for every user, and the number only shows if you add it. Fill it in honestly, check what your photos say about your size, and spend the rest of your effort on what she will remember: your first photo, your opening line and the plan you suggest.
