Speaker 1: I heard podcasts, he More Kiss podcast playlist and listen
Speaker 1: live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2: I tell you what, Laura, it is a dog eat
Speaker 2: dog world out there in the dating community, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I mean you wouldn't know you've been married for seven years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but prior to that, I dated every one. I
Speaker 3: had had a good litmus. Don't worry. I mean I
Speaker 3: also just did get married.
Speaker 2: I am off the market, but I have a bunch
Speaker 2: of single friends that are constantly like talking to me
Speaker 2: about what the online dating world is like. And it
Speaker 2: is really hard, and I have bad news. It's getting harder.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's getting harder or do you think
Speaker 1: it's just always been like ever since online dating has come,
Speaker 1: because you've just got the opportunity of choice, there's so
Speaker 1: many people. It's kind of like gamified online dating.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's getting harder because if you think
Speaker 2: about when online dating started, it was just like you
Speaker 2: signed up and had at it like men, women went on,
Speaker 2: You put your age on and basically that was it.
Speaker 2: But it's gotten there's so many layers, it's gotten so complicated.
Speaker 2: And now Tin has released, well it's a trial. They're
Speaker 2: trialing a new feature that is not good news for
Speaker 2: our short kings.
Speaker 3: You can basically filter now for height.
Speaker 2: So if you say I only want a tall guy,
Speaker 2: which you know most women say I only want a
Speaker 2: tall guy, it filters them out and then our short
Speaker 2: kings are not even given a chance. It is causing
Speaker 2: a lot of stir online because there are a lot
Speaker 2: of people that are all for this feature, like I
Speaker 2: guess a lot of women that know that they only
Speaker 2: want a tall guy.
Speaker 3: They're all for it.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of people that are saying it's
Speaker 2: actually discrimination, Like you are filtering out on the way
Speaker 2: that I look physically like my physical appearance, and I
Speaker 2: have to say I'm on their side. I don't think
Speaker 2: we should be having a height filter for online dating.
Speaker 1: It's a weird one, isn't it, because it really kind
Speaker 1: of comes into this gray area. It's like having a
Speaker 1: bald filter, or it's like having a weight filterah, a
Speaker 1: weight filter. The only thing though, is if you are
Speaker 1: a woman and you are particularly tall, like a really
Speaker 1: really tall girl, or you're a guy and you're a
Speaker 1: particularly short guy, maybe it just removes some of the
Speaker 1: admin because I would dare say that normally I don't know.
Speaker 3: That this is a stereotyp.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get myself into trouble, but often
Speaker 1: really tall girls and really short guys don't seem to
Speaker 1: be a perfect match. It seems as though like that
Speaker 1: would probably be the only time that it would come
Speaker 1: in handy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then maybe, I mean not maybe you don't
Speaker 2: have to have a filter for that. People can put
Speaker 2: their height on their bio themselves anyway, So then what's
Speaker 2: the difference, because you're still given the choice, like zac
Speaker 2: Efron hot megababe, he's tiny, but people.
Speaker 3: Would yeah, I'm taller than zach Efron' he's not a
Speaker 3: tall man. Energy he does, he's got b D energy.
Speaker 2: But my point is, like I do think, and in
Speaker 2: the words of producer Grace, you're robbing yourself of love,
Speaker 2: like you're robbing yourself.
Speaker 3: Off with the potential. I've dated people that are shorter
Speaker 3: than me. They've been fantastic people. Did it work out? No,
Speaker 3: But it wasn't because of their height.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean, I know we made jokes. I've
Speaker 1: my one of my ex boyfriends was quite a bit
Speaker 1: shorter than me and it never made a difference. But
Speaker 1: I do think that if I had had the height
Speaker 1: restriction on Tinder, firstly, I would never have met him,
Speaker 1: but also I think I probably would have used it,
Speaker 1: and so I would have ruled him out because.
Speaker 3: I don't know I am.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm relatively tall for a girl.
Speaker 3: What am I like?
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy seven centimeters? Yeah, which I would
Speaker 1: say that in dating. When I was online dating, I
Speaker 1: definitely rocked up to a couple of dates where my
Speaker 1: dates were particularly short and I knew we both kind
Speaker 1: of met each other and were like, well, should.
Speaker 3: Have talked about it?
Speaker 1: I wish I wish we'd asked, you know, And it's
Speaker 1: not like it should be a big deal, but I
Speaker 1: think it is for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I think that a lot of people care about heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then why can't we just ask, have these conversations,
Speaker 2: talk to someone, put it in your bio. I think
Speaker 2: the fact that we can now filter out people based
Speaker 2: on appearance, for me is yucky. I don't like it,
Speaker 2: and a lot of the short king men or other
Speaker 2: people are now sort of like firing back saying cool
Speaker 2: if you want to filter from that.
Speaker 3: How do you feel if we put a weight filter
Speaker 3: on which which is all a bit silly, isn't it.
Speaker 2: No one's a bit tipped for tab But I understand
Speaker 2: what they're saying from that, Like I understand that they're
Speaker 2: a fair did that people can filter them out based
Speaker 2: on their physical appearance that they can't change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess the only thing is is like
Speaker 1: if someone's borderline, like if someone is tall, borderline to
Speaker 1: your preference, you know, like they might be a little
Speaker 1: bit shorter than what you think.
Speaker 2: You want in a person, but they're amazing in every
Speaker 2: other capacity.
Speaker 1: Like that seems a bit silly to rule someone out
Speaker 1: because you've got a bit of a high preference, you know.
Speaker 3: Whatever beggars cart he chooses too. If you're looking for
Speaker 3: for love, don't sing all those men out. Zendeia didn't.
Speaker 2: And she's engaged to Tom Holland and they're a beautiful couple,
Speaker 2: very happy.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for that. It that's beautiful.
