Importance of Height in Modern Dating

Key Points

  • Speaker's Initial Observation:

    • Immediate attention was drawn not to the woman's preference for six-foot guys, which is expected, but to the comments from short guys condemning her behavior.

    • Reality: The woman doesn't want the guys who don’t meet her height criteria.

      • 5'4": 90% rejection
  • Misconception about Dating Power Dynamics:

    • Contrary belief: Men have the power and freedom of choice in dating.
    • Reality: Women choose who they want to date; men offer, women decide.
    • Short guys’ comments on rejecting women are often coping mechanisms as women prioritize looks first.
