Members must meet a minimum height. DII cites it as an example of a niche service that struggles to reach a dense enough local pool.

About Tall Singles
Tall Singles is a height-restricted dating site. The UK version, tallsingles.co.uk, says it exists for the benefit of taller people and admits only men and women over 5 feet 5 inches. A US version runs at tall.singles and describes itself as aimed at singles across the United States. Members can join for free, according to the company's own pages. The site also promotes a Facebook community and a directory of tall-related sites.
The business is TallSingles Limited, a UK private limited company incorporated on 14 November 2013 (company number 08775016). A company database lists Richard Vickery as the sole shareholder, and a Companies House filing from September 2026 records a change of details for Mr Richard James Vickery as a person with significant control. A 2015 interview describes a founder and CEO called Richard who also owns tall.singles. Sources differ on start dates: the UK site says it went live in 2010, while the US site says it went live in 2018, so DII gives no single founding year.
For the dating industry, Tall Singles is a small example of a single-attribute niche. Dating Industry Insights used it in an October 2024 article on Greed Dating's multi-niche app as an illustration of the critical mass problem, noting that outside major cities a tall-only pool shrinks quickly. That reference was general, not a report on the company. The member counts on the site's own interview pages, such as over 1.5 million UK members in 2015, are self-reported and have not been independently verified.
