My husband's only 5ft but don't let Tinder's new height filter keep you from great sex- my short king is dynamite in bed
A woman who is six inches taller than her husband has slammed Tinder's new height filter feature, claiming that his small stature doesn't stop her man from being a freak in the sheets. At 5ft 7in, Jesika Kamp is considerably taller than her partner, Hunter, and she recalls feeling 'shocked' by his stature when they first met, after connecting online. 5 5 But the two have gone from strength to strength, and 33-year-old Jesika even says they have the 'best sex ever' – aided, in part, by his shorter size. With Tinder recently announcing a new filter in which users can block potential matches if they aren't a favourable height, the couple have spoken out about their own experience. 'It's ingrained in our brains that men need to be taller, but there's no actual reason for that,' Jesika, who works in marketing, said. 'I understand that people have preferences, but it feels odd [to have a height filter]. 'As someone that has dated a few people shorter than me, height never mattered. 'I would have missed out on some pretty great experiences if I prioritised height! 'I know it can feel tough feeling like you have to explain someone to your friends and family – I've been there. 'I felt like I had to warn people so they weren't caught off guard but after a while, I was like 'Why the heck am I doing this when I love this person?' 'Now I openly speak about our height difference with pride.' Hunter, a dog trainer, was particularly unhappy to hear the news of the dating app's new system. He said: 'It makes me happy that I'm married and sad for the guys out there, still trying to date. 'Most women will have their height filter set to 6ft+ – leaving the majority of men cast aside, much less someone like myself who's in the lowest percentile for height.' The Arizona, US-based couple met online themselves, connecting on TikTok rather than a dating app, and Jesika didn't know about Hunter's height until a couple of weeks of talking. When they did meet, she was 'a little shocked', but soon found that it didn't matter – though other people were quick to comment. Jesika said: 'I've had friends and other people ask me why I'm with someone so much shorter than me. 'We've gotten comments asking if he's my son or 'if I need a real man'.' But when it comes to the bedroom, they say there is never an issue. She added: 'Aren't we all the same lying down? "In fact, some positions are a lot easier with Hunter being short. "Honestly, it's probably the best sex I've ever had.' The couple, who married in 2022, have had to face comments about their visible height difference since they first got together – but say it shouldn't deter anyone from giving taller or shorter people a chance. Jesika said: 'There's nothing wrong with preference, but I do think it [favouring taller men] stems from past generations. 'Like how women are taught that they should get married to a man with a good job, be a stay-at-home mother, cook, clean, and take care of the children. 'Times have changed, but some things seem to be deep rooted. 'I do have plenty of friends that refuse to date a man shorter than them, and that's fine. 'I'd love to see a dating show or something where height is blind. 'Where people build connections and realise that it truly doesn't matter. 'If I was on dating apps now, I wouldn't use the height filter. 'It's already hard to find your person these days – and the ones that are perfect for you might surprise you. '[You should] do what makes you happy. 'Don't let society or social media talk you out of being with your potential person because of social standards. 'Nothing someone else said could change how I feel about my relationship and the person I chose.' 5 5

Brad Pitt, 61, wears ANOTHER wild outfit for date night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 32, in NYC
Brad Pitt showed off yet another wild look as he stepped out with girlfriend Ines de Ramon for a romantic date night in NYC on Saturday. The Oscar winner, 61 - who sported a bizarre ensemble earlier in the day alongside Jimmy Fallon - sweetly held hands with the jewelry executive, 32, as the couple grabbed dinner together. It comes shortly after the star first unveiled his midlife-crisis makeover while out with Ramon - where he channeled his Fight Club character Tyler Durden's sleazy style. Pitt opted for head-turning look on his latest excursion and wore a vibrant, blue velvet blazer as well as a pair of loose-fitting denim jeans. He additionally donned a partially buttoned, striped shirt underneath as well as a pair of black shoes. Ines put on a fashionable display in a sleeveless, white top with feathered details on the hem as well as a pair of matching trousers. Her dark locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. The beauty accessorized the ensemble for the evening with a dazzling necklace as well as mini earrings that offered a flashy flare. Brad and Ines - who first sparked up a romance back in 2022 - held smiles on their faces as they headed towards a bustling restaurant in the Big Apple. Pitt has been keeping busy as he prepares for the release of his upcoming sports drama film F1 which will hit theaters later this month on June 27. While also enjoying a date with Ines this week, the actor showcased the latest evolution in his midlife-crisis makeover. As he rocked a buzzcut, Brad also wore a silky lavender shirt which was loosened at the top as well as black velvet pants.
