Statistics don’t lie. According to Tinder, most guys who state 5’10” as their height on Tinder profiles are actually 5’6″. This is just plain unfair to dudes who are actually 5’10” tall, and Tinder is determined to put a stop to it.
The company has launched a new feature called the Height Verification Badge (HVB) which requires all users to state their actual height instead of dream height on profiles.
Tinder describes the verification process as super easy to use: “Simply input your true, accurate height with a screenshot of you standing next to any commercial building. We’ll do some state-of-the-art verifying and you’ll receive your HVB directly on your profile.” |
