If you want to evade the barrage of manatees, make yourself shorter. Bit of a story: Just after Christmas my  boyfriend got his dream job hundreds of miles away.  I couldn't afford to move, got my own life/career, so we broke up.  It was very mature and I was devastated.  I was so used to screaming and rage when relationships end to have it just end without any closure was foreign waters.  I missed him and had no idea how to cope.  So, during one of many drunken meltdowns, I joined a dating app.  And by dating I mean sex.  Hooked-up with a reasonable guy, felt worse the next day, blocked him and we ever spoke again.  Wash, rinse, repeat for a few months until I got over it.   Anyway, three days ago I'm looking at this app.  Don't use it much anymore, mostly for interest (seeing if any hot guys have moved in lately) and the occasional hook-up on my days off.  Get some messages, my profiles pretty blank, but ignore most.  Most guys who message blank profiles are guaranteed blanket messaging everything and only looking for a dick for the night.  Not an issue, I do it sometimes.   I see I'm listed as five-foot-eight.  Weird, I'm six-two.  Like I said, I was pretty drunk when I signed-up, so figured it's been like that forever and changed it to be accurate, Holy shit my phone blew up.  Lard-asses whose androgynous, chinless mugs have been staring at me since I joined are suddenly messaging me for "no strings attached."  Bare in mind my profile says exactly what I'm into, the words "twink" and "muscular" being the only predeterminers.  They had no interest when I was average height, what makes them think being six inches taller would make me anymore willing to caress their sweaty, greasy folds?  If anything it makes me further out of their league.  The audacity land-whales are developing is bone-chillingly scary.   I wouldn't expect an A+F model to stoop to my level; they're out of my league.  Are people's self esteem so low to even respond?  I wouldn't even spare them a "no thanks,  not interested," never mind fuck them!  How can they think they even have a shot?  It's getting bad guys. Anyway, I'm back to five-eight and all is back to normal. tl;dr If you're getting propositioned by fats online make yourself shorter.
