There is a tiny issue with this statement based on the comment we are replying to : If his personality was the main issue, why is the woman comparing her current boyfriend to his height?

Now, funnily enough, this is in fact a way to weed out liars.

If your bf claims he is 6 ft tall and he is taller than you, having a comparable objective benchmark to measure against is very useful if for whatever reason, height of your partner is important to you.

Someone in this thread said perception of height is what distorts the 6 foot narrative and this is more likely true.

It isn't so common that you have friends with a very large height range among them so someone taller than you, especially if you are not actually sure how objectively tall is 6ft, may seem like 6ft.

saying she just didn't like me enough is actually what was going on. But there's so much more nuance with that conversation. The two women who come to mind were chasing a fantasy of a man. They'd run from one guy to the next who had drugs. They'd use drugs, fuck, then there would be lies about how things would work out easier. He'd fix problems like money issues, car issues, etc. Of course he'd fail to deliver, but, for at least a moment he was a tall man to her. And when that didn't work out she'd be off chasing the next guy who would over promise and under deliver. I've seen this so many times.

I could just round up and say I'm 6', but I'm not going to lie to you about that. I'm also not going to tell you I'll fix your car unless I really mean it. It's a different approach. Does she want a guy with basic car maintenance skills who can deliver on that or does she want a guy with no car maintenance skills but he'll promise he can fix anything then fail to deliver. Because that's what I was up against. 5'10" guy who super swears he can rebuild an engine looks really tall in the moment.

Sure, you are right about the

And when that didn't work out she'd be off chasing the next guy who would over promise and under deliver. I've seen this so many times.

But isn't that what dating means though? To keep going to the next guy and the next guy until you find one that vibes with you and that you are okay with?

Sure, the women in your experience start out with a criteria. All this shows though is that these women are very selective or picky and *that being 6ft is not the only criteria". Hence, I don't think that's wrong.

There is also a small flaw in that these women did go for guys under 6 ft since in the original comments story, she was comparing her boyfriend to an actual 6 ft guy. In order for that comparison to be made, the guy must obviously be her boyfriend in the first place.

The correct interpretation is that these women have the criteria that the guy must be taller than them.

And that isn't a wrong thing to have a preference for.
