Karen Belz

I still remember one of the first dates I met on a dating site. We clicked online, but something seemed off in person. Despite the fact that my profile openly stated that I was 5 feet 10 inches tall, I don't think that my date — who seemed a bit shorter than his profile stated — thought I was being serious. That was the moment I learned that tall girls often have another obstacle on dating websites compared to...
