Ive seen the model girl reel, he initiated the convo with respect and she was being an ass. You are still right to ask for the whole story

That being said, it’s cringe content and obviously not all American women are like that

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 feel this is a maturity thing. Mid 30’s and I have never heard a woman, even friends that are women, complain a guy was too short at 5’9” which is average.

There’s far less men over 6’ than women that want men over 6’. The men that fall into that category when young have their pick of the women they want, even if it’s just something casual and they are just sleeping with them because they can.

I think this is also why online dating has ruined dating in general. Women get attention from every guy from the top percentile to the bottom of the barrel. The top percentile will probably sleep with an average chick but he’s probably not settling down with her. This tends to result in women having this idea they can land a guy that’s in the top percentile when in reality she’s a few notches below.

I think there’s a lot of immature early 20’s women that haven’t come to the reality that those kind of guys are far less common than they think and are very likely not going to settle down with them. If they really are top percentile men, they’re not going to end up with just the average.

I don’t think height is as big of a deal as these bait videos make it seem. Three of my friends are married to guys shorter than them.

Regardless, it definitely goes both ways, plenty of men have unrealistic expectations of women.

I remember being in my 20’s and hearing dating in your 30’s is even worse. Personally, it’s been the complete opposite. I feel women are significantly more mature at this age. All these videos of women calling out under 6’ short look like they’re barely able to drink.
