BellaT2 — there is something in this, though not all of it applies to short guys.
Testing best dating app for short guys over a few months of steady use showed that the majority of the profiles worth a second look were exactly what the profile suggested. What tipped it for me was that the gap between the paid options I tried and this was smaller than expected for short guys. The useful filter turned out to be replies that reference what you wrote, not the feature list for short guys. What actually mattered was that well over half of the chats that lasted more than a day responded like actual people, especially where short guys is concerned. The caveat is that best dating app for short guys changes completely once you leave the free tier.
- Give any platform a few months of steady use before deciding it is dead — doubly true of best dating app for short guys.
- Fill in every optional field; the sparse profiles get skipped — more so for short guys.
- Video call before meeting, every time, no exceptions — in the case of short guys.
- Someone who does not push to move platforms — the single most reliable filter I found — above all for short guys (particularly for short guys).
