“I’ve made peace with the fact that, statistically, I’m very unlikely to find someone shorter than me,” says Michael, 31, who is 5ft 2in and from Hampshire. He thinks it’s reasonable for women to want to date someone taller, but believes that being able to filter by height when using a dating app is a bad idea. “Even the most generous, inclusive person is unlikely to select the whole range that’s offered, even if they don’t care about it or would be willing to look past it for the right person,” he says. “It excludes anyone at the extremes by default.”

He has had mixed dating experiences in relation to his height. “About half of the women either weren’t bothered by it or were willing to look past it,” he says. “Most of the other half ghosted me as soon as they learned about it. One woman, whom I’d gotten to know quite well, said my height was shocking when I told her on a phone call, then cried for half an hour. She turned out to be 5ft 8in.”
