Is it normal to get no matches on apps (man)?

I think he’s about 5’7 so yes a bit short. He’s about an inch taller than my husband. Why is height such a big deal on apps?

You can't be serious. Many women won't date someone shorter than 5 ft 10. He needs to meet people in person. 5 ft 7 is short.

Tom Cruise is 5'6". Patrick Swayze was 5'8" if even that tall.

Celebrities are loaded and have a public profile. That is not the normal population. They are not an app. In no way is that comparable. You filter for height on an app. No one is looking for a random stranger those heights.

So all the women on the apps are basically prostitutes who want either a hot hookup or a loaded wealthy man?

Probably about right these days, with the OF generation of women.

I am late 40s. I have my pick 23 and up. I usually date mid 30s and up. I only swipe on 6 ft because I am tall. In real life, I would consider shorter. (I will never remarry so long term without cohabitation is fine. I am self-supporting. A man’s income to me is irrelevant.)

Apps work for the top attractiveness level of both genders. In real life, you are more open. On an app, you can search for ideal.

BTDT with my cousin. The truth is he WAS getting matches but they weren't up to his smokin-hot standards. He was basically only open to dating a bombshell.

It’s usually this. Some men have very unrealistic standards.

It is the opposite. Men will generally be happy with anyone even marginally attractive and not an emotional mess.

Noticing this among younger generations.
The men want to date, but the women are all thinking they are models and nobody is tall, rich, hot enough for them.

Probably why so many young women are single now.

Unfortunately it’s true in a lot of cases. I know a few young women in their 20’s (friends of my gf) who are overweight, not pretty, and very broke who still hold out for a tall rich man. I’ve even tried to set them up with a few of my friends who are decent guys with decent jobs and they reject them upon seeing their photos (these are very normal looking guys, average heights).

So many women are delusional nowadays

You sound like a big fat liar

DP, but my wife's best friend was like that. And she was actually very pretty. Not hot, but definitely cute. She refused to date any guy under 6 feet and without a graduate school degree. In the end it took her until 34 to land a guy. She married a tall, unattractive, bald guy who was recently divorced and had a daughter. And he was living with his mom.

I still laugh. He is a carpet salesman with a degree from NOVA CC, probably makes 55K.

...this is pretty average for DC lol but I love that you're acting like it's a societal aberration.

+1 very average in DC

1. A salesperson of any kind likely makes more than 100k.
2. I would only date for marriage the same requirements. I am above average attractiveness. I married an attorney (never married, no kids)...attractive but I am more attractive. I outearn him now. There is nothing wrong with that standard (grad degree and 6ft) as long as you are attractive yourself. I also have a grad degree and am 5 ft 7.

You really wouldn't date guy that *only* had a BS in Engineering? Grad degree requirement is dumb.

Our son is athletic, has a good job, pretty normal looking. But he recently made a comment to us saying he has nowhere to meet women his age in person and is forced to use dating apps which I guess is normal these days? He said he's been on a few apps and basically can't get a date from them. Is this normal? He is shy and introverted which I think makes it a lot harder for guys like him.

60% of men get one or no matches. Of those most are fake accounts pushing you to private accounts. 85% of men have horrible experiences on dating apps. The apps work for about 5% of men and they don’t need apps.

No, I would not have. I am not impressed by a bachelor’s. I have a graduate degree. Why would I have expected less than what I have? I only dated men with professional degrees.

Most people with an engineering bachelors are smarter than people with a JD or MBA.

THIS.

So much THIS. That's why dating is being ruined, because of the "Ohhhh the grass looks greener if I keep swiping!" and they never commit.

Complete BS.

No it isn't. If you're in sales and make less than $100k then you need to try another profession. Or you're just with a bad company and need to take your talents elsewhere.

Pay for your son to take a vacation to South East Asia. He needs to restore (or build for the first time) his masculine mojo. This will also help him understand what actual femininity is like. Unless he had a HS sweetheart or something he will not find feminine women, especially in the DMV.

Are you looking for a relationship partner or are you trying to hire for work? Because the criteria are different.

Sorry OP your son has no chance on the apps. No one is interested in men under 6 feet.
