Tinder 101

If “weight” is your concern you’re likely not concerned with “weight” but with wether they are “fat” or “large.” Anywhere with pictures will favor a person who is concerned about such things. Now height- for whatever reason let’s say she wants a person to be taller then her in heels. You can’t tell that from a picture. She has to ask and can’t just use her eyes, and has at least some reason to ask. If you don’t want a “big” woman because you don’t like the look... look at her pictures. If you like what you see- then you’re good. If you want to be able to put your arms around her easier- her weight won’t relate directly to her circumference. So he should have asked her clothing size or measurements. It’s a stupid question wether he’s trying to prove a point or not.

What’s more- I’ve never met a “tall” guy who didn’t want to tell his height unless he was a freaking giant and got teased for it. However women I’ve met from size 00 petite all the way up are often reluctant to share their weight. In fact- unless a guy does sports or fitness activities- many men I’ve known haven’t wanted to share their weights either- and often not their pants sizes. So the “weight” question is somewhat pointless and there’s good reason to consider it rude since it’s very common to not want to share that. Height is not something people- men or women- commonly object to sharing and is not generally considered rude so the “double standard” argument is null. In fact- he’d have had to ask her her own height for it to technically be a double standard and not an unequal exchange.
