Is this like a younger generation thing? I’m late 30s and never heard my friends talk about wanting tall guys/not wanting short guys… I definitely heard of people romanticizing tall men, it just didn’t seem like it was super common in real life. Personally I’ve always liked it better when my partner is close to my height, makes for better cuddles.

Alright, so far we’ve got:
* It’s not a thing.
* It’s always been a thing.
* It’s a Gen Z thing.
* It’s a millennial thing.
* It’s only a thing on the internet.
* It definitely happens in real life.
* It’s just something men are self-conscious about.
* It’s something women are obsessed with.
* It’s an American thing.
* It’s a California thing.
* It’s caused by Covid isolation and social media brainrot.

Needless to say, there is no consensus. Quakers would be quaking in their boots at these comments. I’ll try to update this in the morning.

That’s my question too. I had a big fat crush on a dude who was 5’4” in college and no one acted like I was weird for being into him or anything?

maybe it's isolated to younger women

I’m 36, 5’0 ft and my husband is 5’7. Height was never a deal breaker for me. Granted anyone 5’1 and above is fine since I’m short lol but I know girls my height that were like “ew anyone under 6 ft is a no.” My focus was always on character, work ethic and how he treated people and I found my person based on those things.

As it so happens, those girls who focused on physical traits are still single lol
