I don't understand the 6 feet tall american fetish. Is it a nazi thing, where if you're shorter, you end up in a camp? Because it sounds like it. That must be the only country I know which is so fixated on height.

    Short answer yes. Long answer, yeeeeeees. Manosphere self cucks who would rather hate women than wash their own asses have made a story that men who aren’t 6ft tall with correctly angled cheekbones can’t get girlfriends because women are picky and mean. They point to the few women who have stated that they like tall men (in the same way men like different tits or ass) as if this is a stone wall consensus and validation for their hate. Now people joke and meme on it.

    It's a manosphere thing. Those guys play on the insecurity of the morons and height is one of the major paths they can take. It's something that the person can't change, therefore has the highest chance of keeping them watching until they're radicalized.

    I don't think so. Dating apps are loaded with women asking for tall. Workplaces are filled with senior positions favouring not just talent, skill and merit, but height.

    Researchers have validated the predisposition to favouring height many times. A quick search can find them. This is way older than manosphere.

    As a tall white man of moderate merit, I've been more successful in career and love than merit justifies. Just like white privilege is a thing, so is tall.
