  On the flip side I’m m 186cm and my f parter is 175cm and shes said she coukd never be with a.guy shorter then her.

  So presumably there is some truth to this myth in some cases ?

  Guys are being spoonfed by the monosphere the narrative that if they’re 1cm too short or 1kg too heavy, women immediately despise them.

  It keeps them trapped in a self fulfilling cycle of despair and watching mysoginist grifter content online.

    I mean, that’s actually what happens though. Two weeks ago my wife and I were setting up two friends of ours on a blind date, and literally her first question was “how tall is he?” She of course got pissy when I asked what I should tell him when he asked about her weight.

    The manosphere is only able to capitalize on this rhetoric because it’s largely based in truth. Hashtag not all women, but enough of them for practically every guy under six feet to have a rejection story for being too short.

    Hell, I got rejected back in college once because I apparently have an ugly nose. To act like stuff like this isn’t happening to guys literally every day is being willfully ignorant. Rules 1 and 2 exist for a reason.

      Of course some women dismiss men who are shorter than them, there are also men who dismiss women because their tits are too small or too big or a myriad other reasons.

      The manosphere manipulates that and has used it to warp the minds and self worth of an entire generation slightly ugly or slightly short guys who are all perfectly capable of finding a partner and having deeply meaningful relationships with others.

      Good luck “changing the culture” though, whatever that means.

        I am just going to say that many trash can shaped women have some partner. Not getting rejected for the shape of boobs.

        Hey, I get it. It’s much harder to acknowledge the biases you’re showing in this comment and be a force for positive change than it is to just reflexively lash out at the messenger.

        Until that happens though, the problem will remain, and you’ll remain a part of it.

      I don’t get why height specifically anyway?

        I honestly don’t either - it’s probably just as arbitrary and socialized as boob size preferences. Maybe someone here with a background in sociology or anthropology can shed some light?

      something like 80% of single women are looking for a man who is taller, rich, and pays for all her dates like it’s the 1950s.

      And only 50% of single men want that kind of relationship. So there is a huge gap. Men are actaully more progressive/feminist when it comes to dating than most women are.
