Why is everybody so obsessed about height ? Is the world so much better at an altitude of 6'+ ?

Question

This is not trivial, a lot of women will not date a guy around 5'7". Height is more important than looks or personality. There are other examples. What are your views ?

Answer 1

Well I fall under that category. I always watch what I eat, but I splurge too. I don't wanna be stick thin, but I don't wanna be overweight either. They both come with downsides. I like being healthy and exercising. Nothing wrong with that. And about the height thing as long as their taller than me I'm fine. I'm not that picky at all.

Answer 2

Ive heard that taller people are smarter, on the news.  

Answer 3

You're right -- I've got a female friend who is unattractive, weighs 350lbs and generally has a hard time finding guys, yet if a dark-skinned man under 6'5 comes up to her wanting to talk, she turns him down. She only dates fair-skinned, extremely thin men who are at least 6'5. Her rationale is that because she is fat and short it looks weird for her to be with someone else who is short and/or fat. I think she's too picky.

On the flip side, I will date a guy 5'7 (because I'm 5'6) but I actually don't want to date a man shorter than me because I'd feel like a big hulking giant. I feel more feminine and delicate when a guy is my height or taller. It also makes me feel safer.
