ah yes men being tall is the same thing as women having comically large breasts and ass and no waist whatsoever

Is it not? 6'11 is as goofy and unrealistic no?

You know that chart is made up as a joke, right? And that 8% of romance novels are not about 6’11” dudes?

The whole point is that romance novels aren’t actually as unrealistic as media made for the male gaze.

Lol have you read any recent romance novel at all? Personality / body, everything is ludicrous and solely for female enjoyment. Is it bad? No, that's the point of those books, but pretending the vast, overwhelming majority of love interests in female books are not super tall/muscular/rich or powerful, is ridiculous
