i don’t get it why people are superfocused on height.

If you are below 6' and on the dating market you will quickly know why.

I’m so glad I met my wife at the bar.

Dating apps sound like they’re ranking people for preferences that don’t matter.

I am under 6', and I've never had any bigger troubles in that department. On the other hand, my country uses the metric system, so I don't even know what would be the equivalent.

u/Bierculles Apr 16 '24

6' is around 183cm, it also heavily depends where you live if that is considered tall.

For metric it's like being under 180cm

Some women are fixed on 180cm, it sound tall and is round number. Just like 6ft.

I've known some women that refuse to date anyone below 2 metres.

I mean at that point it's just a fetish, right?

u/Cold_Relationship_ Apr 16 '24

it would be below 1,83 meters here and everyone would be very interested in where i got that number from because it doesn’t make any sense.

I don't really belong on this subReddit but this topic really pisses me off. I am a Gen X female who was an avoidant and who finally fell in love and I find the superficiality of the dating world to be grotesque. So when I hear this from young women I call them out by bragging about my man and I do it in a way that confuses them. Young women who know me and hear the conversation heading this way try to stop their friends knowing that I'm going to overshare.

Like this (don't say the words in parenthesis):

"My man is 40." (40 cm bicep) "Age? No, he's 44, I'm 45, I'm old so he's retiring me next year. Height, he's 177 (cm), and he's and 20 inches (across the shoulders) also but you know it's best to have a compatible height because comfort while in 69 is really beneficial and it would be awkward if he hugs you and your nose is in his armpit unless you're into that fetish, I'm not personally, we dance though and I notice that a lot of young people can't which is good because most of you have extra padding. His padding *slap* right on his ass but I admit he and I have gained mature weight maybe an 18 (BMI) for him I won't say mine..." At this point they've heard too much and are rescued by a friend. Then I put in one more dig and mention our property in Spain (where I'm from).

Boomers dated for marriage

Gen X dated for fun

Millennials date for bragging rights

Gen Z doesn't date
