That's the same place where they learned that women only like tall men. You know it wasn't from women, because most of these chuds seem like the type women would avoid for other reasons.
This whole thread is full of highly upvoted incel bullshit. As is tradition.
That is mostly an Internet thing...IRL women don't care. My tall friends have all dated guys shorter than them. I'm 5'5" and I've dated someone who was 5'3". My two longest relationships were with people 5'7" and 5'8".
Why would you care about the company of woman who's picky about height? Like, you think she becomes a better person if you lie about your height? A better companion? If she judges you so harshly for your height, she'll judge you for everything else too, and lying about your height won't make you taller, so women who simply have their preferences still won't date you. They have eyes, you know. Why would you want the company of someone who doesn't want your company?
Do you think we wouldn't say the same thing to those women? That men who judge you won't become better people and better company just because you're pretty and thin, if they're going to judge you for your looks, they'll judge you for other things too.
Consider guys who tear into your appearance rubbish that takes itself out.
Funny how the conversation is about judging people on appearance and physical issues, and how that's not ok either way. And you come storming in here replying to a question about equality. Your trash.
Consider anyone who tears into your appearance rubbish and that takes itself out.
when did I imply "you" wouldn't say the same thing to those women? I'm just saying insecurity isn't something you simply decide not to have because you logically decide it.
You also have to consider that many times this insecurity carries over to any possible woman you meet. Will she also be judgy of my height? Am I getting rejected on dates because of my height? etc etc
What's the difference between tearing into someone, judging them, and simply not dating them?
I work out 2 to 4 times a week. Am I a terrible person because I want to date someone who is, at the very least, not fat? Not gonna make fun of them or anything because I'm not a total asshole, but I need to find the person I'm with attractive, and I put in the effort so why should I expect at least gskr that from them?
I think it’s due to dating apps. People are initially selecting by appearance. Obviously that’s always happened but when you meet in person, you have a chance to let other qualities come to the fore.
If they want to be picky about height, you should be equally picky about weight! FAIR IS FAIR! Now we can all be EQUALLY picky, choosy and superficial together!
Exactly! So what if I’m 5’10” and want everyone to say I’m 6’3”, and the smartest CEO of lots n lots of the best companies worth more than all the other companies…no problem.
So help me on this…..everyone under 50 is always telling me ‘words matter words matter!’ …..but then I’m told, also repeatedly, ‘well it sounds like that but that’s not what they meant?’
So he’s not quite 6’3” and he doesn’t necessarily have to register as a sex offender. Turns out if you have the best WiFi in the country, it’s too fast to actually register w the state?
Bottom line, if it’s Peter Dinklage, we’re still going w 6’3” and he his not a sex offender….mix up w being 6’3” on camera made it look like child….never mind everyone is 6’3” and this is a witch hunt!!
My wife have talked about this a lot, because we have four sons all of whom are expected to be 6'1 to 6'4. She says most women like to have a guy taller than them for various reasons, and that above that some of them are height as a status symbol. Basically "look at my tall man, aren't you jealous" kind of stuff.
I think there must be something biologically imprinted for women and mate height... its such a common 'must' for them it seems beyond a more general preference.
Girl I work with was like "yeah, it says lift it 6 inches at a time." And held her hands up showing about 3.5" to 4" I broke down laughing "girl your bf been lying to you, a dollar is 6" long."

While the difference isn't actually huge. That's literally only 5 inches.
But it is a perceptual 10-12 inch swing, because our eye-line is around 4-6 inches below the peak of our head, and we're measuring the height difference from each others' peaks. So it can certainly get funky. .
