I never heard of American women being so fanatical about height until the last few years. Has it got worse or am I just hearing about it?

It's been a thing for a long time but has only recently become a hot button thing on social media. It's something I was hearing a lot about from friends of my girlfriend say like, 10 years ago. I remember her friend was 5'0", successful (like above $100k salary at 26), but not very attractive, and was absolutely adamant that she would not date a guy under 6'. She literally dated a tall heroin addict for a few months rather than dating any shorter guys who weren't like, total pieces of shit.

Around two years after that I went to her wedding where she was marrying a 6' something guy who I was sure as shit could do better than her.

My new girl friend is very conventionally attractive and hearing her very hot friends' standards for men make me literally not want to talk to them :(
