  It’s worth considering that the vast majority might not have a choice in the matter, at least as far as the subconscious is concerned.

  Yes, especially among more shallow groups…

  Although you’re not allowed to talk about it, it may even be a biologically sought trait. One of those animal things we act like we evolved past.

  Some do (prefers tall), some do (prefers short), some don’t care either way, which is the case for pretty much any trait. Even serial killers get fanmail from people who get horny from that kind of thing.

  Though the distribution isn’t neutral (as in the average pop might prefer it one way over the other).

  No idea, but whenever I tried using dating apps, there were fields in the profile for height, so the developers must think that someone cares.

  Yes. Your height is a huge factor in your social appeal and status.

  Taller people are considered more attractive, get paid more, and generally have positive biases associated with them. Short people have negative ones.

    I mean, I have a preference but it’s not even a determining factor for me. I care much more about what kind of person they are.

    what???

    ㅤ

    Short people have negative [biases associated with them]

    among school bullies and manosphere idiots

    ㅤ

    Taller people […] get paid more

    this definitely isn’t true (Technically it is, but height is not the cause, sex is)

    ㅤ

    women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner

    seems like a harmful and untrue stereotype

    ㅤ

    men don’t care so much about women’s height

    also seems like a harmful stereotype, also personally as a {idk if man or agender} i do kinda prefer tall women, but as @daggermoon@lemmy.world said, “I mean, I have a preference but it’s not even a determining factor for me. I care much more about what kind of person they are.”
