In Tinder you can soon filter what length of partners are looking for

Dating application In his paid versions of Tinder, Tinder is trying a feature that allows you to screen for partner candidates based on length, says Techcrunch news site.

The feature does not block the « wrong » candidates, but makes recommendations to the user according to this length.

The TechCrunch story discusses whether the company is a way for the company to try to make women pay for the application.

There is also a free version of the application with fewer pay versions.

According to Techcrunch, it is not uncommon for women to announce that they are looking for more than 180 centimeters in Tinder.

According to the empirical observations of Tinder users, many men may lie longer than they are.

Why is so important to women in pairing?

In most heterosexual relationships, a man is longer than the woman. The average size of Finnish women is about 167 cents and men 180 cents.

Researcher Anne Holappa He says that a long, or at least a woman, better meets the criteria of « normative masculinity ».

According to Holapa, it is often thought that a long man is more handsome and that a man must be longer than the woman.

« These are often unconscious thought structures, but they have become in our minds with education, media and general relationships, » Holappa says.

Similarly, a long woman can find it difficult to find a partner.

« A long man and a shorter woman are more responsible for our cultural perceptions of the couple. »

Also evolutionary psychologist Markus J. Rantala has studied the importance of length for mating behavior. According to Rantala, the same phenomenon can be seen among most animal species.

« Females from banana flies to elephants prefer larger dogs. »

For people, Rantala believes this is due to the fact that women may experience a long man to provide better security for the woman and her children.

Rantala says he sometimes encountered a study that the more insecure the woman felt, the more important it was for her that the man was long or otherwise large.

Length can also be thought of as a language of health and good genes. This is based on the fact that health problems and diets affect height growth.

However, according to Rantala, on average, women prefer only a little longer than average and not the longest men.

Rantala and his research team found that men who were slightly longer than average had a more effective antibody yield to the hepatitis vaccine than for shorter or really long men.

« This would indicate that a little longer than average length would have better immunity. »

According to the study, men in the Western world and women shorter than average have more children. According to Rantala, this has led to the growth of men’s average than women.

Although A man’s brevity can be detrimental to the relationship market, living shorter men on average longer than longer men, says Rantala.

Rantala and his research team also found that women estimated the sound of men shorter than average length.

Of course, not all women have the same strong preference for long men.

According to Rantala, a woman’s length is much less important for men. According to Rantala, in homosexuality, length does not seem to be in the same way as in heterosexual conditions.

Rantala also tells about American research that short men can compensate for missing cents with income.

“$ 10,000 adds to the income level of ten cents more lengths,” says Rantala.

Rantala himself has used Tinder himself, and women may have asked for directly how long he is.

Rantala is long: 186 cents. For him, the length of the woman is irrelevant.

« The length of my female friends has varied from 156 cents to 183 cents. »

If you suspect a potential dating partner’s announcement of the length, Rantala has a tip:

« The length of the partner candidate can also usually be estimated on the basis of a face image. Longer people usually also have longer facial features. »
