Reply to comment by dilligaf6304 in LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy

As someone who isn’t tall thanks for saying that but when half the dating profiles I see these days have girls saying must be 6’ or taller it’s super discouraging for us.

My husband is 5’7 and sexy as hell. Dating is a shit show and there’s definitely a bias Re: men/height and women/weight.

Just remember that you are not for everyone and everyone is not for you. And that’s ok bc you really only need to meet that one person who you vibe and connect with.

Don’t let the size queens get you down. Someone that shallow isn’t worth your time anyways

A man or a woman can lose fat. I get some people are built bigger etc but you can lose weight. However, you can’t control your height. Your weight is directly affected by your choices however height is just random.

Not always. Especially for women. There are hormonal disorders and other things that affect weight. PCOS for example makes it very hard to lose weight

That's a great way to sort out the shallow people you wouldn't want to date anyways

I have seen this maybe a handful of times…it’s more important to have a pretty face and an “exciting” profile. Beyond that do you really want someone like that? Discard the ones who make a list of requirements, ask for social media follows, or make their politics their whole identity. Have some self respect. Trust.

What people say they want vs what they'll accept are two very different things

Why would you want garbage girls anyway?

That's not someone you'd be happy with even if you were taller than 6' so don't worry about it.

Get you a tall lady!! Two very good friends of mine are a 5'2" man and a 6'0" woman. They're super *social and go out a lot, so he does get occasional comments from (usually) men picking on him for being shorter than his partner. Luckily he's very quick witted and has developed a thick skin about it. He finds a way to turn it around into a brag on himself, or picks on them for placing their insecurities on his situation.

Edit: said suicidal, meant social LMAO

I totally would. I’m confident enough to handle that I think. There are some super sexy tall women out there too.

I agree with that. Always makes me happy when I see a confident couple like that.

I real life women have zero ability to discern height. If you're taller than they are you're good. Most women are barely 5' to 5'3.

My wife thought I was 6 feet tall or maybe 5'11. I'm 5'9. She learned my height about 29 years after we were married.
