Honestly, it's upsetting to see the amount of social norms we feel forced to follow, including having height differences in relationships. I had a really interesting conversation with my best friend about this and found that he felt he had to constantly work out and do everything that he possibly can to feel stronger. There's this expectation created that men seem to have to follow that they have to be stronger, taller, and more in control. My friend told me that he's constantly faced these pressures and that's what motivated him to start working on himself - he saw it as a positive that he got to improve himself, but it just further showed me how messed up society can be. But I do have hope. Our opinions are slowly changing and there are individuals who realise that things shouldn't be the way they are. I'm not sure we can really choose to hold a certain gender responsible for this, because the problem lies within society and how most of us have been raised.

It is not that a woman want taller guy than her but men do want shorter girls than themselves too. So putting it in such a way that blame comes on woman is not right.
It is more of a conventional thing. And it is not easy to get out the way things used to be. Though many are good with having a shorter guy to date, many are not. Isn't it same for Toxic Masculinity.
Look. All women are different. I’m five foot eleven. For some girls ifs fine. Some it’s not their cup of tea. I don’t really care. It’s nothing personal. It doesn’t mean they judge me as a person. Just not a romantic partner.
I like taller women. In fact I prefer it. But that’s just me. Some guys love the shorter ones.
It's not old fashioned. It's the exact opposite. It's the new trend because they have the choice to be picky. I've had my shorty best friend saying to me "dude, seriously fuck off" just because I was getting attention from women and he was completely ignored.

To be fair, the average man IS taller than the average woman, so most relationships will show this disparity.
I don’t get how literally short women below 5”7 require men to be 6ft or taller, that’s what puzzles me, like I’m 5”10 and am still much taller than you, yet I’m somehow not tall enough? It’s weird.
It's not old fashioned. It's biological
Why are you so obsessed with height?
I didn’t read all of it.
