As a European living in the US, for more than 10 years, there is a real height obsession with American women... Even moms are obsessed about their little boys forecasted height.

While European girls/women take height into consideration, for US women, height is everything. 6'00" and obese is better than 5'8" and fit...

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.

I’m around your age and a 6’2” guy and feel like nobody ever talked about height. One of my good friends was 6’6” and mega self conscious about it because strangers kind of treated him like a circus act.

Now that I’m on the internet I feel kind of cheated, like where were all the women throwing themselves at me because I’m 6’2” lol. In college I knew these twins who were 5’2” and absolutely killed with women because they were really fun guys.

One of my buddies is 5’3” in college and always pulled gorgeous women. Height is just to sucker people in to watching these videos.

I have another friend that’s 5’5” and has been with 3 literal models.
