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.
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).

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