Chaotic evil
Always fun to say I’m my legal height and have guys get defensive about their height because it would mean they’re shorter than they say they are. Maybe I round down a bit?
There’s a height on your driving license?
I’ve never seen one on a passport.
That weird American obsession over men’s height.
In Europe too. Pretty sure it exists everywhere, just like other beauty standards.
I’ve literally never heard of a woman talking about “I don’t date men under X height” in my entire life. Then again I’d never even talk with a woman like that in the first place.
I’ve certainly noticed the trend of smaller girls always gravitating towards taller men, but nothing so silly as “I don’t date small men”. As a small guy myself, I actually dated a few tall girls without issue, and happily married to a lady two inches taller than me.
As I always say : my height isn’t the dimension you’re gonna care about, once we are lying down.
Yep I live in the Netherlands as a 5’6” guy. So many insecure short women here who only want men that are 2 meters all. My height is so much more of an issue with women who are shorter than me than women who are my same height or slightly taller.
Unfortunately not just America. Heightism is also prevalent in a big part of Asia.
This is most likely one of the quirks brought to you by Survival of the Fittest rule. Thanks, evolution.
Well, tallness surely would be a preferable criteria back then! To a certain extent, it is a proxy parameter for fitness.
I just think we can actually use evolution to explain a lot of things that we do, it doesn’t mean we should do it.
Next time someone comes up to me and says “Wow! You’re tall! How tall are you?” Imma say I’m 5’9’’ instead of the actual 6’6’’ I am.
And if they ask you if you play basketball, ask them if they play minifgolf.
I can tell if somebody is 2 meter tall or not, and if they are 170 or 180.
Where are all these people that roamed the earth a bunch and still can’t tell heights?
Unless you’re the same height as me, I’ll never remember how tall you are. I was mentoring some girl for half year and when she asked me to guess her height while she was sitting, I guessed ~170, turns out she was 180+.
Height just isn’t something I register about a person, and I don’t see why anyone would bother trying to remember stuff like that.
I don’t mean remembering, I mean estimating, in person.
If a person tells me they are 190 and they are actually 185 I can tell. Can’t you?
My height is 192 so 190 vs 185 would be easy to tell, but once you reach ~182 and below it’s all a wash. 180 vs 175 I wouldn’t have a clue. I was off by more than 10cm in my estimation when they were sitting in front of me, and it was a person I knew well.
