I have seen plenty of them but that's because I seek them out(I'm 6ft5). but its not always worded so bluntly, it's often worded like " I prefer men 3 - 4 inches taller than me" and you read her stats and she is usually 5ft9 - 5ft11 lol thats the part he didn't mention lol.

Now I'm not saying there are no women with a height bias, I've gotten msg's from women who were 4ft8 who after 2 minutes of conversation I released they did not actually read my profile because the only thing they remember from it was my height. but they did not list a height requirement on their actual profile.

Most women who do list a height preference are usually tall themselves.(which I guess is still no excuse).

"Owns a vacuum"
"Pictures on walls. And they're even in frames"

"Trump supporters, swipe left."

Okay then! I didn't vote for him, but I'll swipe left anyways. Might as well substitute Candidate A with Candidate B for all I care.

I never liked him, and unless he gets into a car accident and wakes up a completely different person then I probably never will; but someone narrowly-minded enough to use a distant political figure to filter out any soul who even dares enter any area of their personal lives, probably isn't developed enough to handle the diverse trials and tribulations of a lifelong commitment.

That is a good one to avoid because most people I've come across with profiles like that spend the other 70% of the time preparing those activities lol. so unless you have an equal passion for those things you will spend your time bored to tears being hauled around to every sporting goods store in a 100 mile radius and holding a stopwatch on his practice runs(or running along with him).

I met a girl like that at the gym 14 years ago I'm athletic also but damn lol.

So if his place is clean otherwise you will throw him shade for not having pictures on the walls?

Nah, I was just poking fun at male housekeeping trends.

I am grossed out by dirty bathrooms, though.

I'd say the same thing no way would I want to date a woman who voted for such an awful human being.

Have/want kids.
Inflexibility - mostly religion or politics.

Conversely, I used to warn about my height in my profile so that I would weed out any men to whom a tall woman was too much of a freak and save us both the embarrassment of him not finding out until we met.
