And 10.84^)^ 8.84^)^ in bananas

It's crazy how much height subconsciously influences our opinions of each other. I'm tall enough that most men don't look down at me, and I'm widely respected professionally. Men listen when i talk in meetings, and it's very easy to sell my ideas to people. My shorter coworkers who are more talented than i am struggle to gain respect.

My ex is 5'2" and i have very strong feelings of cute aggression towards her, and have to consciously remind myself to consider her opinions sometimes. It doesn't help that she acted like a child a lot during our relationship 😒

There have been studies showing that bosses tend to be larger (both height and weight) than average, with the trend increasing as you go up the ladder.

US Presidents are typically tall too.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?

Yeah, it does suck. I get the same benefits as you, and my wife of the same height gets ignored to the point where I have to go to Dr's appointments with her so they actually listen to her.

I also have to keep a close check on being upset about anything, because I'm intimidating just by existing, let alone upset.

Tall asshole. But what I want to know (as a taller woman) is why do tall guys go for tiny ladies? I am NOT judging, I like guys around my height and they like me, and I'm tallish because of my mom and dad's height difference. You like what you like. Is it nature trying to breed us back to average height or something?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 73 points 1 year ago

Guys aren't that picky about size. We are picky about picking women that will pick us back. Size is very low on the priority list. I'm 6'2". Only one girlfriend was taller than 5'4". They all chose me.

[-] Zana@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

6'3" guy here hoping one day one will pick me back. I'll take any size at all.

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 58 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Women are the ones who put height requirements on their Tinder profiles, not men. I've never come across a single profile where the woman is looking for someone shorter. So your question seems very alien to me.

Case in point: my girlfriend says she would not have started dating me if I was shorter than her. As a guy I am conditioned to avoid such superficial thinking because it leads to toxic behavior. Imagine if I would tell her that I wouldn't date her if her boobs were a different size.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

There is the theory that sexual attraction is towards characteristics that are on the opposite side of the normal curve from yourself, specifically so that your kids are nearer the average of your species and thus more fit for their environment. I'm tall and had a huge underbite (until it was corrected surgically) and I go for tiny women with overbites. Also, smart women with money and style.

I'm 6'3" and my wife is 5'4", she's told me many times that my height is super important to her and that she wouldn't have dated me if I were shorter than at least 6'.

Why do most (in my experience) women insist on tall men?

I don't understand people who are only interested in a very specific type. As long as a woman is generally attractive to me,^1^ I can be interested regardless of her height. Sexy little hobbit or death by snu snu, it's all good. Same goes for skin color, hair color, and most healthy body types.


^1^ Obviously, finding them attractive in the first place is kind of the point. But I think we can also understand the difference between "would be attractive if not for [insert turn off here]" and "is not at all attractive."

I'm 6'5" and I've had many short girls hit on me. Tall girls almost never do.

Afaik not many guys go out of their way for really short girls. Tall guys rarely meet a woman as tall as them.

If you're a tall guy nearly all ladies are tiny to you. Whether or not they're a bit shorter than average is kinda immaterial.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 1 year ago

I rarely ever see tall women. I'd prefer someone closer to my height (6'6'') but women aren't commonly that tall, and it's not something I care that much about.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Because girls are shorter than me. It's not a thing I "go for" it's just my reality.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't mean shorter, I mean short. I'm shorter than any tall guy, but usually see guys I'd consider quite tall (6'4" and up) with women under 5'4" and it always struck me as odd. I do understand it would be too hard to find a woman over 6' in the US, there aren't enough. I mean I don't see the six and a half foot guys with the 5'9"- 5'10" ladies. So I figured it was a preference.

"Your argument is invalid, because you look like this from up here."

I guess, he needed to show off that his mental grandeur does not match his physique...

[-] jimbo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Depending on the people and the argument, it could be funny and dispel said argument.

Wait... Is that why some girls take weird high angle selfies? Huh.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

No, it's just a more flattering angle for most people.

[-] Hobbes@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

That angle hides that they are overweight.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What an asshole. I’m so glad he’s someone she used to date, rather than is dating.

Look at her face. From my worst moments in the past, I can understand getting carried away and snapping the pic in the heat of the moment. Still, though, how the hell can you look at that pain and sadness, and then send the pic to her without realizing how badly you’ve hurt someone you care about? That was a priceless moment for him to STOP HIMSELF before making things worse, and he just bulldozed right past it. Fuck that guy.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 52 points 1 year ago

Wow, you're so talented to be able to perfectly understand the relationship dynamics and personalities of two complete strangers based on one photo of one of them.

[-] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

I mean she posted it herself, so it can't be that bad

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I’m taking her story way too personally to be anything close to neutral. I thought that was clear, but okay.

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I’m taking her story way too personally to be anything close to neutral. I thought that was clear, but okay.

Your reaction was my first reaction as well, but slightly different because to me it was as though the pic was taken by an abusive adult about to swing down on a young child.

That's not in the pic either, but I take my baggage with me wherever I go, lol.

No harm done either way. In my opinion what we're seeing in pictures like these is exactly what we need to see in order to heal ourselves, little reminders of work yet to be done and memories still in need of attention. And you're already self-aware enough to know that you're not approaching it neutrally, so you've already started the work. You're golden.

So I'm saying I'm glad you posted, because even though you managed to provoke some downvotes, there is a cosmic fuckton of unaddressed domestic violence and abuse that colors our society and permeates every little corner of daily living that we would all do well to address. This pic is triggering as fuck for people who have had to live under that, whether it be physical abuse, or the unseen but worse emotional/intellectual abuse that this woman say motivated her ex to take and send this picture. It's all one and the same.

Thus it's not what's wrong in you that reacted to this pic the way you did, it's what's already RIGHT in you that so forcefully showed you what was skewed in it. You have a conscience and a caring heart and a willingness to pipe up and say this isn't right. We could all do with more of that. Well done, IMO.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Can't really talk to the disrespect but an ex was about 6 inches shorter than me, and she commented how she loved how much taller I was and having me around made her feel safe and protected, and while I hadn't thought about it at first it was nice to be appreciated for our differences.

Didn't really have many fights and when we did argue it was usually sitting down on the couch so the height difference was moot (though in hindsight she would often hop up to her knees when trying to make a point so maybe subconsciously going for the height advantage?)

I don't actively seek out shorter girls but most women interested in me certainly seem to be shorter than myself by a few inches, only girl my height I dated was very short lived since we quickly found out we didn't have compatible interests or personalities.
