I don't doubt there are some women who are like this ... It takes all kinds, right?

I just don't see it as being as pronounced and ubiquitous as many men claim. Plus, they've defined the height requirement as 6 feet. Men have. Not women. A lot of this constant irritating mantra about 6 feet comes from influencers making a buck off of desperate and lonely men.

It's self defeating. Believing it is cutting one's nose off to spite one's face because, like I said, while there is an overall preference for taller guys its relative to your own height not an arbitrary mark on a ruler.

For example, I too, tend to skip on shorter guys. But, I'm 5' 7". So, as long as a guy is 5' 7", he's got as much shot as the guy who is 6' 4" as it makes no difference to me at that point. Okay, so 5' 7" is clearly a far cry from 6', nearly half a foot. But guys who are around my height hardly ever ask me out. Mostly because they believe this ludicrous propaganda about 6 feet, even after I sent them clear signals that I was interested. And I knew they were into me too because of the whole puppy dog thing. The ones I asked out were convinced they were being set up in some fashion.

I'm telling you. These male dating coach influencers peddling misogynistic nonsense have fucked up the head space of so many men it's not even funny. It is the number one reason why so many of them are undateable.

At some point this mindset is going to trickle down to women too. Things become true the more they are repeated. Women will pick up on this because were not immune to propaganda either. They'll start to think there's something wrong with men under 6 feet.

So, maybe you being in New York, you're seeing that filter down already and me being in Phoenix, I'm not seeing it yet.

To be clear, I've also dated guys shorter than me. So, it's a preference, not a hard pass. I think the shortest was about 3 inches shorter than me, so about 5'4". He always said he was 5'6" but there's no way.

And of course, all of this applies to when I was dating. I went on my last date a few years ago. I'm done.
