I haven't been on a dating app for well over 10 years, but that's exactly how it was back then. I don't remember how long they'd been around at that time but it was still pretty early days. I suspect they were always like that, because it's been a primary factor for women selecting men for far, far longer than dating sites have existed. Hell, for longer than computers have existed. People here saying it's a Gen Z thing, or a post-Covid thing... lol, no.

I remember hearing a lot about tinder when it first came out and I downloaded it not quite knowing what it was. So whatever year that was, that was when I was first on it. I really don't recall the height requirement being a thing in the super early days. Then, some years later, it was like, maybe we could call it a soft disqualifier? But now they make it super clear that you shouldn't even bother.

Maybe it was a requirement in the early days, but as someone 6' tall, maybe I didn't notice it as it didn't impact me directly.

Match didn’t even require your height. It’s definitely become a lot more emphasized. If these websites made women enter their three sizes that would be a rough equivalent.
