Swipe apps have ratcheted up expectations to unrealistic levels. The only hope for sub-180s is to meet people in real life via acquaintances with mutual attraction. The game has changed and the old rules don't apply any more.

Sub 180 what?

> meet people in real life via acquaintances

Isn't that how it always worked?

> The game has changed and the old rules don't apply any more.

This is also entirely opaque.


I'm guessing 180 is 180cm, as 183cm is 6ft which fit's in to the whole "don't swipe if under 6ft" meme. Which, in case you're unfamiliar with it, is a popularised (no idea if it's actualy popular) line on dating app profiles where you swipe to indicate interest in talking. Which somewhat demystifies the rest.


> Sub 180 what?

It's standard incel nonsense -- describing "short" people.


That sort of explains his last sentence.
