Have women always been so loud about liking tall men, or is this a new dating trend?

I swear I didn't hear this "6ft+" thing so much in the past

It's just a trend

No

Women have always preferred taller men. Being vocal about it is fairly new.

The classic hero in female romance has always been tall dark and handsome and often a recluse who doesn't fit in with society i. e. a bad boy who the heroine has to socialize.

It has always been thus.

I think that's been more of a Hollywood standard

It has been a staple for a long time. Like women's mags it has a long history. Going back to 1740 with a story of an underage maid eventually being proposed too by her master.

Leaving aside from Jane Austen, Mills and Boon kicked off in 1908.

Then there are all the fairy tales. Inevitably about high value men being hooked.

99% of the time I hear it, it's from men and usually virgin men in their late 20's. Do you enjoy shrimp?

You haven't been hanging around younger women then.
Yes, you could say I'm a shrimp enjoyer.
