Mar. 28th, 2026 05:35 pmThis might sound mean, but I continue to be profoundly bewildered by how many cis women I've encountered who refuse to date any man who's shorter than them, or even a man who's the same height as them.
I don't know. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by unusually tall women whose husbands were either shorter than them or around the same height.

Then she started dating the guy she eventually married, who was 5'10", and it was obvious she was taller, but they both aggressively insisted he was actually taller than her. I think this was an ego thing in his part but it wasn't a good look.
(I'm demi and have always been attracted not to looks but to whether people are kind to me. My friends thought I was goddamn insane for this: you're more interested in the fat awkward person who makes you laugh when you're down than in the movie star doppelganger who keeps insulting you? What is wrong with you?)
