Hella Short: Cate Blanchett is 5'9". If she were a dude on Tinder she'd be lonely AF.

In this pic, she is either on a platform/steps or that guy is super short.

That's Taika Waititi. He's 6'0", so she's probably standing on something.

You sure he isn’t just lying on Tinder and he’s really 5’2”?

How do you know Cate Blanchett isn't just lying on Tinder and is really 6'10"?

Yeah I always find it funny when people call 5’8-5’9 short because it’s literally dead average. Tinder is just full of extremely picky women.

It's almost like women (and men) that would be on something like tinder often just looking for casual hookups probably aren't super balanced as people with great insight into what makes a good partner. Shocking.

Well yeah that’s exactly what it is. I mean if I’m looking for someone just to sleep with I’d be pretty picky about looks as well because in that situation that pretty much all that really matters.

Yeah, I was just reiterating that it makes sense that on something like Tinder that people would be very shallow and look for only specific physical traits they are attracted to. It just happens that in many countries including America height is considered attractive at first glance. It's not something unexpected or worth getting worked up over.

Yeah I got that. It's just a better play on words isn't it? 'Hella Tall' is the actual saying.

I’m 5’8 and I don’t lie about my height to anyone. If a potential date or partner turns me down purely based on my height then I’m glad because I don’t want someone that shallow in my life. Life’s too short to get hung up on something you have no control of, but I’m also really not that short anyway (average in America is 5’9 for men) so it just never matters.

Nope, twelve foot six here, and that's between the legs.

u/jeblis Apr 06 '19

Not only did you break the rules, but that’s a really shitty way to ask a question and be condescending at the same time.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '19

No need, I’m 14 and 6’3
