Attraction to a certain height is a modern thing?

[RiseofArtemis]

Women say they want tall men or rather known "men over 6 feet" but has that always been the case that women want someone of a set height? , no. If that would be the case then our population would have died out long ago or be much much smaller then it is. Height itself is a very modern thing especially 6 feet. Women who say they are attracted to tall men means they want someone taller then they are. They don't want a 6 feet guy they want someone who's taller, could just be 2 inches more then her. Most powerful men were short and the shortest and most powerful was just 5.2 Alexander the great.

What's really important for a woman is knowing his character and ability to provide. Confidence and assertiveness are what women want in a man or rather mate and that he isn't letting himself be pushed around by her. Height is used as a toxic dating trend which keeps women single and miserable. The more you act like a mature adult the more you will be desired by the other sex. A tall dude who acts like a 12 year old isn't gonna have a chance with women.

No, when I say I’m attracted to tall men I mean I’m attracted to tall men not just taller than me.

And who knows if it’s always been the case, it probably has. But women didn’t used to have mich of a choice. In some eras and some places they were presented with a man they had to marry no matter if they wanted to or not (still kind of the case in some places around the world) and if not then they still had to marry or they wouldn’t really make it in the world. They couldn’t own peoperty, open bank accounts, work and whatever. They had to get married for social and economic reasons and for many the pickings were slim. Not many unmarried men of appropriate age in the villages and he should be someone of similar social standing as her. Men men were deunk women beaters too. So. If you’re desperate and held back in society, forced to marry and pick between Joe the woman beater, Charles the drunk, and Bill the regular hardworking dude theb Bill is a catch no matter his looks or height. Obviously simplified but this was the basics of it. Nowadays women have the option to pick none of them and go for a guy she actually feel attracted to or remain single without social or economic consequences.

Women's attraction is primarily based on protection on a subconscious level. So a man taller than her, projects protection ability. Women often say above 6 feet, but I wouldn't pay attention to that. Women often have a hard time really knowing what they want until they have it.

Two questions: are you less that 5'8 in height and does your Thang correlate with your short stature?

They can want it. Mostly they won’t get it. I know lots of men under six feet with beautiful partners.

It's more that women have more freedom of choice than ever before
