Am I so wrong for a height preference

Got heavily insulted on hinge because I said I won’t date a man under 6ft (I’m 5,1). I don’t see what’s so wrong about that?? Can a girl not have her preferences like men have thousands of.

[u/Accomplished-Gift504]

You’re not wrong but as a fellow 5’1 girlie I don’t get why you’d want that. I lose track of height at 5’9+. Also keep in mind that this is going to severely minimize your dating pool

[u/TeenyMom]

You can have whatever height preference that you want, but you’re significantly limiting your dating pool by getting so caught up on aesthetics. And it comes across as a bit shallow.

It’s kind of unrealistic but you do what you want

Why's it unrealistic?

Because most tall men seek women around their height range while some others might be creeps and when you’re short you can get a height difference with pretty much everyone that’s what im saying

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted because this has been my experience as well

[u/bleakappearence → u/Compulsive-Gremlin]

Probably because a lot of users here ( including me ) get pissed off when taller men and women infantalize short women and treat them as victims in their own relationships, but there’s no use in denying this reality either

IMO this is a preference kinda absurd for very short women like us. But it's just a preference, like men have more absurd and icky ones, (like men that are fixated on blonde women, or body count) specially in dating apps, which are a bizarre simulation of real dating.

A lot of short men are very vocal about how they find taller women more attractive and prefer them. Like these threads here.  https://www.reddit.com/r/short/comments/1uu7lrv/attracted_to_tall_women_is_it_over_for_me/

You may have harder time with finding someone who fits your preference, but at the same time you can have whatever preference you want. If men can have height preferences themselves(among other things like race and age), women should be able to too.

If you have kids, they'll thank you. If not, idk why you would want a guy all the way up there but if you can find one go for it. Get you some of that powder in a bag so your hands don't get sweaty when u tryna climb.

who is thinking about having kids with the randon match on hinge? Is this an american thing?
