"Tinder just declared war on short kings..."
As students of professional surfing know, for every Jordy Smith there are five Jett Schillings. Li’l micro men who easily become obscured from view in an un-mowed meadow. Surfing, of course, and especially its professional varietal, prizes a low center of gravity and, thus, the smaller statured have enjoyed great success at all levels of the sport.
Now, the aforementioned students are also very aware that the tours, be it Qualifying, Challenger or Championship, each travel around the globe, from Hawaii to California, Australia to France to South Africa to Portugal. The single professional, looking for romance, often turns to popular dating applications like eHarmony or okCupid in order to facilitate relationships.
Outrage understood, then, when one of the more popular apps, Tinder, revealed that it is testing a filter in “limited parts of the world” to weed out short men.
According to the BCC “It works by informing the app’s matching algorithm based on a user’s stated preference, rather than filtering out certain users altogether,” though the distinction has done little to ameliorate hurt feelings.
“Tinder just declared war on short kings,” one lashed out on social media.
“I don’t care what Tinder says – short kings are elite,” another added.
Joe, no last name given, is “somewhat shorter than the average American man at 5’6″ the BBC continues. He found love with a 5’1” woman though thinks the height filter is a bad thing. “Limiting yourself to physical things about someone will lessen your opportunities and chances of finding a partner,” he says. “Height shouldn’t matter when you’re looking for forever.”
It must be noted that 5’6″ is somewhat taller than the average professional surfer.
Beth McColl, a London-based podcaster, believes that the filter will help pocket buddies by weeding out rude ladies who only like the tall.
“Women typically don’t have a problem with dating a shorter man,” she adds, “but they do, maybe, have a problem with dating a shorter man who is really hung up on it. There’s nothing in being a little bit taller that will make that man a better partner – but I think we’ve tricked ourselves into thinking that there’s truth in that.”
Well?
Thoughts?
Pouring one out for Edgard Groggia or feeling bullish that rei curtos will trend?

If Schilling is 5’10 then Tate bros are solid 7 footers. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Darwin can’t write yet.
Guess you haven’t heard, Darwin is on a voyage of discovery.
Ain’t we all.
Delete your post and fuck off back to Stab.
So, BBC is a news outlet or an acronym for a large shlong of an African man but WTF is BCC?
I did tinder once and it got me all fired up?
Just found Tom Carroll weeping at the beach after reading the BG article…..size doesn’t matter , it’s how you use it said the tiny man who has small penis , and lives in a tiny house…do you think there is a case for suing tinder for all the trauma…..poor Tom and all the dwarfs !
I weep for Tom!
the old analogy of a man standing on a barren planet wondering if he can eat all the money and gold he made over his lifetime!
Zero way that pocket buddy is 5’10.
OUTRAGE AFTER DATING APP TINDER INTRODUCES FILTER TO WEED OUT LITTLE MEN:
Here we go again. GOOD MORNING
VIET NAMCALIFORNIA!https://youtu.be/H4ByhIo9e9U
Deputize the Korean shop owners, and let them man the roofs, rifles at the ready.
shit’s gonna get bad when the sun goes down tonight.
reports of dem rioters being bussed and transported in for the party
Mayor Bass must be giddy af. Finally, all those trips to Cuba every six months during the mid-1970’s with the Venceremos Brigade are proving worthwhile.
I hear president Taco , has called up the proud boys to intervene…..but as they are going to get $100m from the federal govt for being falsely convicted , word is they retired to mara bogano!
now there’s a thought….just shoot the rioters?
That’s exactly what she wants.
Her work with NED doing soft power regime changes around the world should alarm you. Karen Bass has been a radical since the 60’s, then moved on to admire and embrace the murderous Fidel Castro.
ah and the Jan 6 rioters…were peaceful people ….not too many deaths…..were more people killed on Jan 6 than these LA riots?
No one cares about January 6th anymore. Except feckless Dem leadership.
The only person killed that day, Ashli Babbitt, was killed by a trigger happy cop.
maybe in the USA but the rest of the World looks on in dismay…so yeah 4 responder cops suicided after , 100’s were injured…and good ol boy Shane Lemond/former police lieutenant found guilty of supplying info to Enrique Tarrio/leader of the proud boys!
Otto what do think about Tarrio and 4 others suing the Fed gov for a $100m?
Suicide?
Transcops?
yeah the cops were pretty traumatized…not trans, as if that has anything to do with suicide of cops….at least the proud boys are rich from…??
Trans will suicide at the drop of a hat, i heard on CNN. didnt think cops would.
yeah about 185 cops suicide each year in the USA…
I guess its hard when they catch crooks then Dems let them out a coupla hours later
you mean like the proud boys and their $100 m payout?
did you see the cop shoot the aussie 9 journalist…..in LA…..???
Haha!! Always leaving out the facts
yeah I think it’s pretty funny/ironic that maga cannot do fact checks and has no interest..
did you see the cop shoot the aussie 9 journalist…..in LA…..???
the hypocrisy is mind-blowing. fascists are something else.
Define fascist. Not some pretzel logic word salad that fails to fit your accepted view. No, the actual definition.
You should head down and play pretend war with ICE Barbie.
sounds like another normal day in the USA , thankfully donny TACO will send in troops , and restore FREEDOM! loL!!
It’s all good if the protest is against Biden/Obama and democrats but how dare someone protest against Taco boy and ICE Barbie.
maybe ask Glen Hall for his view
5’10” is the new little mans complex
That’s not nearly as racist or creepy as when you described your wife’s skin tone. Starbucks mocha or jamocha almond fudge?
Starbucks is shit. beautiful, smooth mocha cappuccino.
make sure to wash your spank rag.
Point being, not all dark skinned women need to come here illegally and end up being your maid.
Now you’re just rambling and saying the same shit you tried to say earlier. And you’ve basically proved and cosigned my assertions regarding you. Guess you are not getting that handy after all. Happy Camper….more like Happy Cuck. Just remember that your unhealthy number of BG posts helps pay for Chas’ predilection for top shelf booze and Dez’s obsession for Japanese sex toys. Keep hitting refresh.
________ and ________ went on a surf trip to __________.
_______and ________ had not known ______ very long, but the trip was ________ featuring very good______ and a few big nights out. One night ________ met a ________ who wanted to _______ both of ________. that was the first time ______ saw _______’s third leg. The _______ was like: WOAH!

board shorts to the knees: essential.
no need for a trailing fin
Not too sure about the Ben Marcus imitation crap. Been done already by a dickhead.
just a dig at pisspuss
But can you elaborate on your Scottish ancestor marrying into (raping) a Cherokee family and how that informs your current views on immigration? And with your Cherokee blood do receive any of that sweet casino cash? And if so, did you use that cash to get your wife “legal”. I’d like your expertise on getting someone I know “legal”. Is it just cash or does being less “indio” also help?
look, just because you rape your Oaxacan slave wage maid, doesn’t mean that’s what every white man does. How racist are you thinking that all Indians can only get their wealth from Casinos, like we’re just a bunch of uneducated scam artists.
while you’re siting around smoking your Billy boy cigar after raping your maid, look up Chief Diwali Bowles, then we’ll chat.
BTW- the lovely Mrs. Camper was already a citizen and way wealthier than me when I met here. She retired at 43 year’s old with much more wealth…..and joy than you’ll ever have.
American Dream
So in addition to being intellectually delayed, you are also a racist and a cuck. You keep saying vile shit about an immigrant you don’t know because you have weird colonization fantasies and mention rape and sex trafficking WAY too much. Just because you say bullshit over and over doesn’t make it true. Stop pretending you’re Stephen Miller. He’s a cuck just like you. You’re continuing lack of coherent argument makes me believe you didn’t quite qualify for a university most people have heard of. University of Phoenix? Oral Roberts University? Biola? Certainly not a UC, USC or one of the Claremont colleges.
Didn’t read, but I have question for you:
you make your maid clean the sheets after you rape her, or do you just bend her over the sink while she’s cleaning your dishes….and make her wipe up your mess with a sponge?
No wonder you advocate for illegal immigration. cheap slave labor and a sex slave who won’t report you because she’s afraid of being deported.
you sick, racist, despotic scum.
You’re just repeating the same ol shit all the MAGA cucks say. You keep mentioning rape and impugning an immigrant you don’t know. You can’t even defend your racist shit intellectually. Instead you repeatedly accuse me of raping a woman. Just like Bonespur kept saying immigrants were eating pets. What shitty job did you have that was taken by an immigrant? Based on all your previous racist statements I’m guessing you are just projecting your weird colonization fantasies. Why do you hate immigrants? And why are your Disqus comments private? What are you hiding from your employer or “mocha skinned” wife? Seems like some snowflake shit. MAGA strong on the internet but a pussy and cuck in real life. I’ll await another post where you accuse me of rape and state that 90 bucks an hour is slave wages, while you ignore your own racist description of your wife.
You keep mentioning rape. Something about “he who doth protest….” In colloquial vernacular, “he who smelled it dealt it”. What’s the over/under on the number of rapes on your resume? For Bonespur the Vegas odds are over 8. That’s not including what poor Melania had to endure to make Baron.
Simple yes or no. When Bonespur said the Haitians were eating the pets, did you enthusiastically agree? When he suggested injecting bleach to fight COVID were you on board? When Bonespur admitted it takes him 10 flushes to rid his bowels of his McDonald’s diet did you agree that we need more powerful, water wasting toilets? I know you thought him mocking a disabled person was funny. But please tell us more about how your rich Mexican wife can buy US citizenship and why you and her believe the poor indigenous Mexican immigrants can go fuck themselves. And if you mention rape again you’ve hit the intellectually delayed MAGA bingo.
1. There was bodycam footage of a Haitian lady being arrested eating someone’s cat
2. The bleach quote was manufactured outrage based on the sensible suggestion of using a dilute hydrogen peroxide nasal spray, which was more effective than most other measures at reducing onset severity and had no side effects either. The fact that trump absolutely garbled what he was saying about it is certainly on him, but people hand waving about “injecting bleach” is embarrassing
3. The mocking a disabled person in the first election cycle was again manufactured outrage and was an “act” he used to regularly at that time to mock people for being stupid in his opinion, it wasn’t specific to the disabled journalist who happened to get mocked on that occasion. Thankfully he’s stopped doing it since, but it had nothing to do with mocking a disabled man.
I don’t like trump, but I don’t like the unthinking hysteria he seems to cause in many people either.
fact check…maga’s greatest enemy and weakness..
1) that video you say was Allexis Ferrell , who was videoed in Canton ohio , 170 miles from Springfield…she was arrested for cruelty to animals…after stomping on a cat and eating it…no Haitian community , just one woman!
2) trumps quote was ,” by injection inside or almost a cleaning “…household accidental poisonings rose over $120% the last week ofapril 2020……..hurricanes anyone?
3) trump loves belittling people by way of insults and attacking them personally…everyday we see this….that’s why people actually love donny taco, unconditionally……or now it’s a global thing where people are just showing a very strong dislike for him and the USA!
First they came for the short kings, and I did not speak out—because my mother didn’t smoke while pregnant.
Then they came for the kneeboarders, and I did not speak out—because fair enough.
Then they came for the mid-lengthers, and I did not speak out—because I had not yet reached man-o-pause.
Then they came for me—because no one else was left in Del Mar.
Not true! There’s a middle age body surf club there weekly. They ain’t even scared of the white sharks.
Sessions before you got picked up were pretty nice and uncrowded though, huh?
How much did that trophy cost? Tree fiddy?
BBC’s only for this king
My 12 year old is in the BBC( Black Belt Club) I don’t think his Korean taekwondo master knew about the other possible meanings of the acronym before creating the logo.
Lol… that was a tough one to see coming on his end I’m sure.
