    I’ve never actually heard anyone say they cared about height. I’ve only heard second hand stories.

    Mostly saying, I think it’s a fairly small amount of people that care.

      Haven’t been on one in years, but women would put “guys over x height only” in their dating app profiles. I saw it as an advertisement that those particular women were very insecure and should probably be avoided, but it was a significant number of them nonetheless.

      It’s relatively common in dating apps here in Germany. I just see it as an immediate red flag and move on.

      Not true at all. Hugely important factor for women who are dating. You can literally look up the data on this, heigh is incredibly important for hetero women

      Many of my American friends will not date someone shorter than themselves, I guess in part it’s social inertia because it’s just embarrassing more than unattractive
