How Do You Switch Hinge Between Feet and Centimeters?

Tap the gear icon to open Settings, go to Language and Region, then tap Measurement Units. Pick feet (FT) or centimeters (CM) for height. On the same screen there is a toggle for distance, so you can choose miles (MI) or kilometers (KM) at the same time.

1. Open Hinge and tap the gear icon to get to Settings.
2. Go to Language and Region.
3. Tap Measurement Units.
4. Select FT for feet or CM for centimeters under height.
5. Use the toggle on the same screen to pick MI for miles or KM for kilometers.

That is the whole change. Nothing else about your account moves.

There are two separate choices here, one for height and one for distance, so you can mix them however suits you. Plenty of British men, for example, think of height in feet and inches and distance in miles, while most of Europe works in centimeters and kilometers.

The setting sits under Language and Region for a reason. It is about how Hinge writes measurements out for you, not about what anyone's height or distance actually is.

Usually for one of two reasons. Either you have moved or are traveling, and Hinge is now showing heights in a system you do not think in. Or the app picked a default that does not match what you grew up with.

It is worth fixing either way. A number you have to convert in your head is a number you are more likely to misread. Nobody wants to suggest a bar he thinks is close to her, only to learn he read kilometers as miles.

If you are traveling, the distance setting is the more useful half. Seeing distances in the units you think in tells you at once whether a woman is a short walk from your hotel or a long taxi ride across town. That matters when you only have a few evenings to play with.

Men worry about height on the apps far more than most will admit. The honest answer is that the number matters less than how you carry it.

Whatever your height, state it truthfully. The profile coaching guides are firm that misrepresenting yourself backfires: you might land the date, but she sees through it the moment you meet. An inch added on the app is an inch she notices missing at the bar. Now the first thing she knows about you is a small lie.

a dating coach puts a lot of his own appeal down to style and grooming rather than genes, and that applies here. Clothes that fit well, good posture and a relaxed manner do more for how a man comes across in person than any figure on a screen.

You can also make sure your height is never a surprise. Include one full-length photo in your set, taken at eye level by a friend rather than from a low angle that stretches you. When she meets you, you look like the man she saw, and that counts for far more than the number.

Sometimes a woman asks directly, or teases you about it. Do not get defensive, and do not send a paragraph. A short, easy answer with a bit of humor tells her more about you than the number does.

Something like "Tall enough to reach the top shelf, not tall enough to play professionally. What were you hoping for?" answers the question, stays light, and hands the conversation back to her.

If height is a firm dealbreaker for her, that is fine too. She has told you something useful early, and you can spend your time on women who like what you have.

The distance setting is more useful than it looks. Once it shows units you think in, you can tell at a glance whether a match lives ten minutes away or across the city.

Use that when you suggest meeting. My advice is to move from chatting to a plan while the conversation is still fun, not after days of small talk. Pick somewhere that is easy for both of you, name a day, and keep it simple. A short trip to a bar you both know beats a long debate about where to go.
