    Hey. It's not all women. >:c I think it's probably been a stereotype for so long that now it's just assumed. It is stupid though. And lol at that girl.

    There's probably an evolutionary component to it. It's just genetics that women find taller men attractive! Tall means well nourished, and well nourished means stronger, and stronger means better able to fight off big scary animals that threaten children!

    It can make dating harder, certainly. But I believe that, regardless, in time one can find someone worth spending eternity with.

    Regardless of height.

    Hm, that's a good point. Darn evolution!! xD I think from this point, it's a social norm that needs to be transformed. Trans...normed. huehue.

    The thing is, people are picky no matter what it's about. xD But you're right; people shouldn't go complaining about one thing only to have a problem with a similar complaint directed toward them. We're all guilty of hypocrisy.

    Haha, same. I don't think height should change anything.

    Eh, some chicks probably like the guy to be bigger (taller and more muscular) so they can feel dominated by his physical presence. Because that's a "real man."

    I mean, I don't think this has ever impacted my own personal dating choices, but I kind of get it.
