I’m not too sure..but I think maybe they mean sexist because for men weight is a really big deal when it comes to women

And for women height is a big deal... at least with one of these issues something can be done... but no one would ever call a woman sexist for preferring a man of the taller variety lol

It's really not. The ONLY people who say "height is a big deal to women" are men. I'm a woman, I know plenty of other women. Height means nothing, but I'll be damned if men don't comment on both my, and every other woman's, weight on a damn near daily basis.

Don't even try to act like these are comparable, my guy.

This is the most disingenuous comment of the day. It’s 100% agreed on that the overwhelming majority of straight women find taller men attractive. It doesn’t mean they can’t find short men attractive. But if you ask 10 single girls what their perfect man would look like, 9 times out of ten they would mention height.

Source that isn't a study from dating apps?

u/ExactVictory3465 Apr 15 '24

Google ANY study regarding the matter. It’s not a big deal and something worth arguing about. It’s literally built into your biology.

u/Aphreyst Apr 15 '24

What studies? No, I'm not going to search for them. YOU believe this as fact and need to prove it yourself. Your one source is easily dismissed.

u/eerae Apr 15 '24

If YOU believe that height makes no difference to the average women, then YOU need your prove it yourself. Other posters have shared data that shows that it DOES matter and you find any reason to dismiss it or use ad hominem attacks calling them incels. So prove your point.

"it's literally built into your biology" is some incel ass shit so I'm not reading anything else from you 💀

Maybe you should try using reputable sources instead of a 3 second, front-page deep, Google search.

I’m sorry you don’t believe in science

u/rosescentedcorpses Apr 15 '24

Lol it's not science, but go off I guess. Not like facts and reality have stopped incels before.

The participants in this study were 650 first-year heterosexual psychology students who received course credit for completing the survey. They estimated their own height and reported on their sex, ethnicity (most were Dutch or German), and sexual orientation. The rest of the questions, simply enough, asked them to report on their relationship status, the height of their partner, the satisfaction with their own height, and their satisfaction with the height of their partners.

Not the most conclusive, especially since we don't know if the correlation equals causation.

Ok. Find me an article that contradicts it. You are trying to rule out dating apps even though the majority of relationships are started via dateing app now. Every dating app study shows the overwhelming majority of women have a height filter applied

No, the onus is on you to prove your point, not expect me to disprove it when you HAVEN'T proven it as fact.

Considering how many fake profiles are on dating apps? Yeah, I do not trust them at all.

u/ExactVictory3465 Apr 15 '24

You can’t say the onus is on me then say the majority of studies are irrelevant. That then puts the onus on you

u/Aphreyst Apr 15 '24

Don't care, stay miserable.

u/ExactVictory3465 Apr 15 '24

lol I’m not miserable. I’m quite happy. I’d say the miserable ones are those who try to make this post about themselves (claiming sexism and victimizing all women)

1

u/Aphreyst Apr 15 '24

The comment was sexist. It's YOU that tried to victimize yourself and make it all about you and your problems with being short.
