    My sister is 5’3" and she had a thing for tall guys. After a string of bad dates, she decided to give someone a shot who was 5’2". Six years later they got married.

    Nothing but respect for the short king with mad moves. My brother-in-law is cool as hell and I’m glad he’s the guy my sister landed on.

      Height is such a bad thing to filter based on.

      My wife’s best friend was complaining about how she goes on lots of dates but there’s never a real connection. She is a little taller than average but insisted she needed a guy at least 6’2" (so he would be at least X" taller than her when she was wearing X" heels).

      That’s just a terrible priority if you want a real connection.

      Because you want to have to tilt your head up at least 20° (?) to kiss while wearing high heels, you’re willing to eliminate 95% of bachelors? Have you considered the logistics of kissing while you’re not wearing high heels?

      But the criterion was like a point of pride for her, like her ego wouldn’t allow her to look for someone less than 6’2". Super weird. Just not a good way to find a partner.

      My husband and I are the same height. Never understood the whole tall dude preference/requirement but people are into different things I guess. A nice side perk is I can borrow his shirts and not be swimming in them. They’re still baggy and comfortable from the different cut, but not so big the sleeves cover my hands.
