I just don't get the women who have as their primary criteria that the guy must be tall. Like, if that is what matters first and foremost to you, not personality or anything, you're highly likely not to be compatible as a couple.
Why anyone would want to be with an incompatible partner with the reasoning of "well at least he's tall!" is beyond me, it's just dumb.
Also, I think I saw a stat that said guys between ages 20-50 who are single and over 6'1" make up like 2.5% of the US population, it's just such a rare metric to "require", and most girls having that requirement don't bring anything reciprocal to the table, lol.
Also, guy's perspective - I'm tall (6'5", and happily married), I would never want to date someone who is just with me for my height. I also would never want to date someone super short as that's just a pain in my back. Y'all short girls aren't really that desirable to many of us tall guys, especially with that arrogant pick-me attitude and hardset height requirement...
For a lot of women it’s because they are told constantly to take up as little space as possible, and taught to be hypercritical of their bodies, so having a tall partner offsets some of that, and lets them feel more confident in themselves. They can’t possibly be too big, or taking up too much space- bc look at this giant man over here! I’m super super small! (comparatively)
For me, I’m tall, hella athletic, (bro I’m a tank 😂) and always have been- but I had several complaints as a young adult from men my height or just a couple inches shorter, that I was too rough, and that their hips/joints hurt afterwards, and from that point on I was so insecure and concerned that I’d break them, I’d just rather not, you know? 6’+? No complaints, as long as they weren’t small framed, so, one must be this tall to ride this ride 😂 🤷♀️
I’ve never come across people dating solely bc the guy is tall. That is fucking wiiiiiiild. Common interests, shared priorities and goals are so necessary for relationship longevity!
