Why do short women and tall men always brag about their height?

[Purplehaze33]

Women that are 5'2 and shorter usually always brag about how their height is better than everyone else's and tall men do it the same as well when it comes to attraction and dating. It's pretty obnoxious. I've had women 5'2 and under tell me how much they have it better because they're small and short as if women that aren't are basically unattractive from their perspective. It's pretty bitchy behavior ngl

Because society deems them the "most desirable." Although I've had PLENTY of tall women (5'10" and up) brag about their height on this site too. Even women who weren't tall, like 5'8". Really, the only ones negatively affected by height are non-tall (short) men; which are the men who are 5'11" and under.

The short women and tall men who brag about their height are a minority. Most don't "usually always" brag about it. That's just nonsense.

The ones who do brag about it do it for the same reason some women with attractive bodies and some men with large bank accounts brag about those things, because they are obviously very desirable features to the opposite sex.

I am guessing the short men are probably insecure about their height and the tall women feel like models because of their tall height

[Purplehaze33]

What? I never mentioned either

[getttingbetterr]

I said why i think they probably brag about their height

[Purplehaze33]

No I'm talking about short women and tall men

[getttingbetterr]

Sorry I misread the question. I am guessing the tall guys probably feel superior because of their height also probably more attractive because it’s true a lot of women don’t want to date shorter than themself

People are often proud of things they have that they did not accomplish when they have not accomplished anything worth being proud of.

[Purplehaze33]

Yeah true. It's often their height try take pride in. Most of these people have nothing going got them otherwise. Just the behavior itself indicates that

I don't think tall men brag about their height, but maybe here it's different

[Berethor]

Because being tall considered a masculine trait.

I've never seen or heard that.
