Many men’s dating profiles include the line ‘6 foot, not like it matters’ and according to new data from Dating.com, it really doesn’t. The website conducted a survey that found that people care less about physical attributes than they once did.
In fact, 32% of respondents interested in dating men reported that their potential partner being bald and/or 5′7″ or shorter would not impact their decision to date them.
As for the biggest turn offs, it’s very simple: a lack of human decency! 80% of respondents said that they were more likely to get the ‘ick’ from people treating waiters badly or speaking badly about friends and family behind their backs.
So, if you’ve ever considered yourself to not be quite conventionally attractive, no worries! What matters is that you’re a good person who treats others well. Cheaper and easier than meeting ever-changing beauty standards, anyway!
