Hi everyone,

I am in my late 20s and do OK for myself financially (not a whale or a crypto millionaire but in the quarter million a year range). Unfortunately, I am quite short and average looking (not overweight or unkempt or anything but I am no Henry Cavil in the face). I also don't have the type of other worldly charisma that you need to get first dates at this height, particularly given the overwhelming prevalence of Hinge and its height filters and the extremely high standards for physical attractiveness in NYC

Realistically, I am looking for a monogamous LTR and and am not looking to travel to a third-world country to do that (for ethical reasons and otherwise). Is the SB route a way to find someone looking to settle down and willing to forgive you for your height if you do OK in the career department, or is it solely a way for older men to pay for the company of women half their age, who are dating other people?
