Tinder Adds Height Filter: Because Apparently, 6 Feet Is the New Swipe Right

A recent Reddit post has revealed that Tinder has rolled out a controversial new feature: a height filter. This tool allows users to set height preferences for potential matches, but only if they’re subscribed to Tinder Platinum, the app’s highest subscription tier, starting at $39.99 per month.

While the filter helps users search with more intention, it doesn’t completely exclude profiles that fall outside the selected height range. Still, the feature has reignited debates over body bias, especially concerns about discrimination against shorter men.

According to The New York Post, the feature is part of Tinder’s broader strategy to offer more customized search tools. It also comes at a time when Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, has reported a 5% shrinkage in user numbers, making this move likely aimed at attracting more paying subscribers.
