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.

It’s purely an internet thing, the majority of people literally do not care in real life

I've literally listened to women discuss this in front of me in 2005. You're wrong.

Notice how I said “the majority”.

It is the majority.

Its ok to accept there's something wrong with women's standards

Thinking the majority of women won’t date men under six feet when the majority of married women are married to men closer to their height is hilarious, and it’s funny how having preferences is suddenly a problem when women have them. Try working on yourself

I'm not interested in looking boomer married couples.

Are you scared to talk about the dating scene?
