Tindr blog post about this, posted two days ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.gotinder.com&#x2F;introducing-height-verification&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.gotinder.com&#x2F;introducing-height-verification&#x2F;</a><p><i>Oh, and by the way? Only 14.5% of the U.S. male population is actually 6’ and beyond. So, we’re expecting to see a huge decline in the 80% of males on Tinder who are claiming that they are well over 6 feet. That’s fine by us — as long as we’re all living our truths.</i><p>80% of men on Tindr claim to be “well over” six feet tall? Come on, do they think this helps their first impression when the very first thing their date sees is that they’re a liar?

I’ll be very surprised if this isn’t an April Fools joke.<p>On the off chance it isn’t, can you imagine the response to a “weight verification feature”?

Commenters on Reddit note that it is already April 1st in New Zealand...

Surveying peoples physical dimensions across a room seems to be a reliable evaluation method of height&#x2F;weight.

Can we get age and weight verification too?

When will short men learn that lying won&#x27;t get you ahead (or a foot)?
