And now the height thing is getting to my son's head too. He just turned 13 and he is 6'0. I am 6'3

I think it's an American thing. I don't know if this height obsession is as prominent in other countries.

You don't get why she cares about height but made sure to tell us he was unusually tall and that you are 6'3. Okay.

Most men don't get approach by women regardless of their level of attractiveness. I have only been approached by women twice in my life and I wish they never approached me. Both times were at bar and both times that interjected them they were offended. Alcohol has a weird effect on women. Most men no matter how drunk know not to touch a woman. But am intoxicated woman somehow feels the right to touch you to caress your biceps and/or approach you with minimal effort just because I guess they are women and you should be lucky they are approaching you.

That's a good one!

It's kind of sad because these are young men and their confidence is ready shattered due to their height. I am 5'11 and even at my height I don't come across a lot of men taller than me yet we are acting like tall men are all over the place.

I don't think fat women have the level of lack of self esteem that short men have. Just by judging the way fat women dress it's clear that they are confident in their look. And they may not be wrong because clearly men are approaching them.

Personally I think the issue is that young men have to have a certain way, look a certain way to be attractive to women. I think all men should just focus on themselves. Superficial criteria such a height are just an ego boost for women when they reject men.

Op,

You don't sound like a nice person regardless of your height. I suppose to you it is ok to think 'fat' women shouldn't be allowed to have confidence.

Short women want tall men so their kids (sons) aren’t tiny. A tall partner raises they chance they will be normal height.

I’m a tall (5’8) woman and I agree with this. I don’t care for his height as long as he’s not shorter than myself, and not looking too thin.
A 5’9 guy has better chances with me than with 5’3 women. My exH was 5’11, our son is 6’3. Next generation is usually taller than parents due to more nutritious diet in the US than what it was for us 30 years ago

This height obsession is stupid and recent
I’m 50 and 5’10. Never felt short growing up in 80s never had a problem dating in 90s, 00s and I feel this phenomenon of height obsession is pretty recent

I’ve dated short average and even a bit taller than me. But nowadays women old and young seem to be obsessed. Maybe it’s social media pushing onto to them what high value attractive man is supposed to be

I’ve also spent a lot of time in EU and many countries the average height is much more than USA but I never had difficulty dating there being “below average” by some EU standards and my dates there were close to my height or more

So it’s dumb American women being brainwashed by dumb American social media

Nothing else.

But agree if a guy is 5-10 and woman is 6-1 the sex would be awkward in traditional positions 😂

I don't get it? Your son is already tall so? Your wife might end up fat like her relatives

The point I am making is that she should worry more about him being fat than short. And because he is taller than most of his peers somehow he thinks it makes him special. My point is obsessively want tall men in the country. I just think it's bizarre.

No, a fat tall man is more acceptable than a short, thin man. I don't know why, but it's so.

Fat people can lose weight
Short people can't really gain height.

Be someone worthy of their attention and trust me, it will all work out.

I know plenty of short men who are happily coupled.

Turnabout is fair play. Tell us more about the media having an impact on what people find attractive, it's totally new to us!

Yeah, it seems like it's only the nasty bitter ones who can't find partners. Hint: it's not their height that's turning women off.

Women aren't going to come here and tell you that they will smile at a taller man and give a mean face to a short dude. They just won't. Women will not admit and confess their shallowness like we men do. Most of us men have no issues saying there is no way in hell we will date or marry a fat woman for example. But a woman will dance around the issue lol

You can go on YT and see this for yourself. There is a content creator on YT called "the desirable truth" and 99.999% of the women he interviewed wanted a guy who was at least 6 ft tall. Don't listen to what a woman says, watch what she does. An overwhelming majority of women want a 667, they want a guy who is at least 6 feet tall, at least 6 inches in the pants, and makes at least 7 figure.

I wiish I was 5'7 and bigger though. I am not going to feel you guys my weight lol but I wish I wasn't skinny.

And as a skinny man don"t even get me started. I can start my own thread. And women have been the most hard toward me. They often tell me do you eat, you are so skinny, I can break you (wish they knew about my third leg lol), eat more. Because I am so skinny for them I guess they don't even see my height lol.

Men on the other hand notice my height before noticing my weight. And most men don't even mention my weight but they do notice the height. And this makes me think men are more conscious of height because that's likely something they have been judged on positively or negatively. Women notice my weight first surprise surprise lol

I'm off the market, but tall skinny men have ALWAYS been my jam. Too bad that we get older and fatter. But I love a tall skinny man. Not all women don't like it.

I'm Eastern European and agree this is completely American thing. Growing up in former USSR, my mom was always telling me not to look at men's height at all. Women are pretty tall in my family, so I was told as long as he's my height or taller it's fine. Men were in shortage post WWII so other qualities than the height (like ability to provide, education, smartness) were what I was taught to look at.

It's very common for EE women to date and marry shorter, distinguished men. People would just think he's very successful or a great human to land a long-legged model
