      This.
      I mean, I am "petite" and the other day there was a post about the video's topic on Reddit.
      And people were just fixated on this idea that guys have to be 6 ft tall.
      That's definitely close to being a foot taller than me, I'm 5.2.
      But I feel as though I was expected to say "Yeah six feet tall baby that's how it should be". I honestly would prefer for the guy to be 5.9 or shorter. Don't have anything against taller guys and they can be very attractive for sure.
      But honestly, anyone taller than 5.7 would probably have to lean in for a lot of stuff, he'd break his neck trying to be at my level.
      I know that not all girls are 5.2-5.4 so I'm definitely not going to say "Oh yeah all short guys should find shorter women to date" because that's BS.
      All I'm saying is that the environment on the internet is toxic when it comes to this subject. Makes most women feel like they have to be shorter than 5.5 and all guys should not be shorter than 5.11.
      WTF?!

      same here! I'm 5'11 and my husband is an inch shorter than me. my sister's 510 and her husband is 4 in shorter than her. you can't help who you fall in love with. the people who are obsessed with height aren't someone you want to be in a relationship with anyway. because the second you gain some weight or get into an accident they're going to leave you. they're so shallow and judgemental they are not going to stay with you the second you no longer fit their aesthetic. all of the women in my family are at least 510 and all of them are married to men shorter than them. my great grandmother was actually 6 ft 1 in in 1901. and her husband was 6 ft 7 in tall. and now we have a family of giants. it's honestly all about old money. the longer your family has had money and therefore good nutrition the taller you are going to be. my family has had money since the early 1700s so everyone was getting great nutrition and just kept getting taller and taller and taller until around the '70s when processed foods became more common and we started getting shorter.

    As a short guy, it's particularly tiring (and a bit depressing) to see how many women will filter me out because I'm not tall enough. Female friends will literally talk to me about height in guys as if it doesn't directly affect me. One of my best relationships was with a woman who was a whole 20cm taller. It was fantastic. Height just had no bearing on anything. I don't understand why it's such a big issue for many women.

      Being 5’11, i think ive dated like one guy taller than me. Not because i didnt want to date someone taller, it just never happened for me. Majority of the guys ive dated have HATED when i wore heals - either it made me tower over them or if we were the same height, made me taller. 100% conditioned to just never wear heels. Now I’m engaged to a guy who is 5’9 and absolutely LOVES my height and when i wear heels.
      I dont really care about heels much, but what I DO care about is the fact that it revealed something about my old boyfriends - that they were not only super fragile in their masculinity but also that they were totally cool with shaming something about me that is totally out of my control and something id worked on for years to accept. Being with a guy who actually LOVES this part of me is truly amazing.

      @Miss Kate I think that’s so interesting. I’m in my early 20’s and a high school girl I know asked me if I was a “bottom or a top.” I mentioned that I probably prefer to be both and she said very mater of factly that it’s impossible to be both, we’re either one or the other. I’ve heard a lot of other teenagers say similar things, which is strange to me. I’ve felt a lot of pressure to not be a switch (specifically to be “a bottom” because I’m female) and there’s a lot of talk about how in order to “be a top” you have to insert something phallic into another person, it’s not about energy or roles as much as it is about literal parts. You cannot “top” your boyfriend unless you peg him, for example. I find it all weirdly backwards for something that presents itself as forward moving. My age group now has BDSM and queer culture in the mainstream- which can be a good thing, but in making it mainstream we’ve sort of misunderstood it and now use these originally deviant and freeing communities to further reinforce traditional gender roles, and I’ve noticed there was a whole phase where feminism was out of fashion so we didn’t really consider sexism when getting into these new things. As a result I think it’s taken away some of the more freeing and open ended aspects of these original movements, paired with our obsession with labels and correctness.

      There is no real "society". It's many individuals and most of them want to be accepted in a group more or less abiding social norms of their groups, meaning, you need to take effectively a decision for yourself what you want in life or not.
      This is the only way to become happy.
      As a rather short guy (173 cm), most people in my career told me, I wouldn't have what's needed to proceed in a meaningful way for a career.
      Now they are still in their jobs, while I successfully founded a company and I'm very well off compared to most people.
      They also laughed at me, when I showed up with my 6'1 girlfriend, but we're a happy couple for many years, while their relationships are broken.
      A man is measured by his accomplishments I believe, he is MADE. He isn't just born a winner by a single trait (in this case: height). Most people out there want to press you in some role, they want to see somebody. Like tall guy == successful. Problem is people are different. A friend of mine, which is 193 cm hasn't really anything going for him, but to be tall. He's very successful with women, because they choose him, because of his height. He got handed many things in life, just because he is perceived as a winner, but there wasn't any big skill involved. Reason I am where I am and he's just another average guy (but I help him massively with knowledge, so he's still much, much better off than he'd be without my stock market and crypto tips for example). I teached him also a lot of how to do actually do things and that you have to go in many situations in life against the herd, otherwise if you don't, your outcome only can be average.
      Therefore: if you want a tall man, you have to go for him and approach him. If height but doesn't matter, you'll have an easy life in finding a suitable partner, because society doesn't expect women to go for men. Then as women you have many other difficulties and challenges, but you know that of course better than me. Wish you the best.

      Women's preferences are informed by patriarchy when it comes to finding mates. Data shows that powerful men will advance tall, masculine presenting males, and so those will traditionally be seen as most able to allow a woman to be feminine. That systemic bias isn't built by women nor is it the result of women not wanting to admit our own biases. It's a direct result of patriarchy rewarding a certain image of masculinity. But research also says that women are way more likely than men to drop their perceived standards when it comes to attractiveness so I am so confused by this prejudice ur linking to women. Image matters to everyone and preference exists, but the data still says women are much more comfortable with normal men than the opposite. This isn't saying women are all sunshine and roses. It's just saying there's a reason we can immediately come up with shows like King of Queens and Modern Family when talking about hot woman/way less attractive male pairings, but have a harder time naming TV shows where the woman is deemed much less traditionally attractive than the man. Idk if you've seen, but there are several videos on Yt that name celebrities with "ugly" spouses, and most of those are okay men with older or fat wives. I've seen one list with the opposite.

I skipped all next classes to get home and cry because i couldn't handle it.
    I didn't grew up to be actually tall i simply was a tall child in times when everyone thought misogyny is funny because it's "equality" and being petite was the beuty standard for women, now my height is average and seen as ideal but i still can't really get over insecurities bulling and standard of beauty from my childhood left me with. I also suspect people were specially horrible to me due to me simply not being conventionally attractive, a lot of people says tall height is not a problem for women because "models are very tall and seen as beautiful and desirable" but average women doesn't look like one.

My husband is not an insecure guy, by the way, he had just been influenced by society to think that a shorter guy would not seem attractive in the eyes of a taller girl. And that wasn't true. But I do hear some women being really callous about shorter men, saying outright they would just never date a guy who's shorter than 1.80 cm or even 1.85 cm, etc.

    thanks guys for approaching this topic. I'm about average height 5ft8ish, don't have any issues about that, but I think a lot of women do. I've been rejected in the past because certain girls said, they'd be self-conscious about wearing heels when stepping out in public with me. Thus proving that it's more to do with societal pressure than physical attraction.

      Social pressure is what ruins other people's freedom in life, even if the girls really liked you they're gonna be worried about society judging them. But nowadays it's normal for the girl to be taller than the guy since the whole girl should be smaller and guy should be bigger thing is getting old and boring, i see alot of couples around same height often but now I'm seeing more taller girl shorter guy relationships very often now to make it short couples of different heights and sizes . My current gf is 2 inches taller than me and it's been 2 years now, before i met her i dated girls close to my height or taller, it's these tiny 4'11 and below ones that didn't like my height for not been 6'5+ lmao.

She turned him down because he was 5'4. Like really? When she told me she wasn't interested. I said "Man, he must not be as nice as I thought." She said "Oh he is. But girl, he's like 5'4." The man even jokes about his height. But too me. It just didn't matter. My sister is not even tall. She's 5'6. I'm 5'9 and would have gladly entertained that man if I wasn't married at the time. I was so mad at her. She told me she would have dated him if he wasn't short. I said "So in the grand scheme heme of things. With there being deeper things in life, like love. This man's flaw was being short?" I don't think it's cool and she hasn't had a decent man since. But at least they've been tall. Smh.

    Male shortness is actually seen as shortcoming, not male enough.
    "Short and ugly", " Is he cute, or is he tall?" are just a few comments that reinforce the idea.
    Media does a great job in bending or making a narrative. I don't want to mention the tweets women make for us or the deprecating jokes for that matter. The fear of humiliation, aka reaching above one's league, "she can do better... so why bother", "how dare you, you're short" are just a few concerns that stop us from pursuing.
    It's not a preference when you are at a statistical disadvantage for something like height and it has a name, Heightism.
    Gender roles exist and will continue to exist. You can find enough comments that say something along the lines of feeling more feminine with a taller guy while Short men remain as the last option, as in the "Tall girl".

    6:11 Corrrection: There are no pressure on women to not date shorter men, women were the ones who reinforced it on men. Women have stronger height preferences [call it requirement these days] as 6:15

    I am slightly taller than my boyfriend and If I had refused to date men who are shorter than me I would have lost the chance to meet a wonderful person like him. I remember when we were talking online before our first date and he told me his height because of all this pressure, but for me his height was never a problem, I liked him since the first time we saw each other. It's funny to remember that when I introduced him to my mother she said to me "he is shorter" and my mother-in-law said surprised to me when she saw me for the first time "you are so tall!". Nowadays everybody got used about It. On the other hand, my first boyfriend was taller than me and It was a terrible relationship, I can't imagine living my life with a person like him. So I can say that height is not important for a relationship.

    This is so wild to me. I'm 5'2 and everyone says that's a good thing because most men will not be taller than me but 1. I don't care what men think and 2. I would do anything to be 5'11. Being short is so annoying. I feel like a child.

      I hear you, sister: at 5' 3", I'm a gay man who is heartily sick of the societal attitude about my lack of physical altitude, and whose few serious partners have, with very few exceptions, coincidentally been men at least six feet tall or taller (though I chose none for his looks, least of all for his height), none of whom gave a damn about my stature in any way but that of my character. (FWIW, my partner is 6' 2", and cares about my height much as he does, say, my left-handedness: as the root of a long-running inside joke between us; where it counts, he thinks of us both as ten feet tall and bulletproof, and I have to agree. 😊🧔👱‍♂️💜👍🏼) I also find it interesting that the only woman I have ever loved (who is bisexual, but has long dated women only) is 6' 1" and, were we interested in a more than lavender marriage, claims that she would have married me in a heartbeat, if I would have her. I'd say that those fixated on relative heights miss out on all the most interesting potential partners.

    My husband is ½" shorter than me. The biggest problem around height in our relationship is that he sometimes needs me to grab things off a shelf that is comfortably high for me, but unreachable for him, since he also has shorter, stockier arms than me. So really it's an issue of accessibility and convenience. I've never really gotten the hang of wearing heels, so it suits me just fine to be with a technically shorter man. But he's also never had an issue with me wearing heels occasionally other than concerns about physical comfort.

    My partner and I also share a height difference, although I’m 5’6” and he is 5’1”. We also share a couple other differences that aren’t typically seen in on-screen and off-screen couples, being that I’m a plus-sized white woman dating a very muscular Asian man. It is nice to see couples on-screen that look similar to my partner and I and hopefully we can break all these stigmas that hold people back from just living their lives and showing their love.

    Living in Scandinavia / EU really really sucks if you happen to be shorter. I wasn’t supposed to be, but due to heavy medication I stopped growing for several years and stopped at over 5.4. Even hearing a lot of super short women can’t tolerate if a man isn’t at least 6 ft tall is ridiculous. I keep wishing I was born in asia but that doesn’t help does it.😅

    to this day i say that "what do you wanna be when you grow up?" my answer is "taller" and he said he feels the same.
    but WHY... come on
    i am gorgeous and i feel like he's even more than me and we both have the same insecurity about something we could never change and makes us who we are but i know its not about us per se but society that seems not to appreciate ppl for who they are.

    I think universally, shortness is viewed as a “disadvantage” or something to be made fun of. I’m 19 and I’m 5”2’ and while I’m privileged to be in the “she’s so small and short” feminine goal kinda way (I can’t understand why 😭) it feels like people are always bringing up my height to undermine me in some sort of way. Perhaps because shortness is to do with perceived weakness or such, but I’m sure (in my experience) it had nothing to do with being “you’re too feminine”

      My adoptive father is 5'7'' former wrestler and body builder, 190lbs of pure muscle back in his days, he could take down bigger men than him in the sport without issues, and being a short bodybuilder represents an advantage since it is easier to get gains at shorter heights.

    Shorter men are usually paid less than taller counterparts and the suicide rate is substantially higher. (And both of these increase the shorter the man is)

    I am 5'11/179cm female. This stigma is real and I know that I've bought into this. I've been mocked by guys about being tall so it's kinda made me feel like my lane is to be with a tall guy or not at all. Being above average height has made me so self-conscious that I would be so happy when I have friends that are my height. I'd see a tall person in public and wish we'd be best friends to feel normal. I'm also not gonna lie that I've bought into this so that I can feel normal (more feminine) for once. It's exhausting being the above average height female!

Even my own family wanted me not to be with a girl that's taller than me. You just have to ignore weird society rules and make your own and let your confidence and personality shine.

    but being frank, Idk if this correction will ever take off enmasse though
    more dating apps are allowing users to filter by height and the “don’t even message me if you’re under 6ft” thing are on the plurality of millennial and older zoomer profiles

Maybe out of 10, 2 had an issue with my height to where we never even started anything and the taller ones or same height ones gave me a chance and it was great; we had fun.

I’m also not even exclusively into women. And no, I do not regret transitioning (I didn’t become a man, I was always a man). I would be dead if I hadn’t been able to transition. I’d rather be forever single than live as something I’m not.
      Also, lots of short trans men have fulfilling love and sex lives.
