This probably comes from Tinder, where people explicitly state their preferences. I also don't know anyone in real life who talks about that. These are two very different environments. But keep in mind that romantic and sexual interests are not always conscious choices. People might not even be aware of them, yet your height can still affect their desire to be with you (among many other things).

Never thought about it this way, since I've never used dating apps. That makes sense, though. Thanks for the insight.

And I agree about unconscious choices; that's why I mentioned small girls with huge guys. The stereotype is so common, yet rarely, when I asked, were the girls even aware of it. My money has always been on daddy issues for this particular one.

Preferences are bullcrap most of the time anyways. Only truly shallow people go completely off of looks and are looking for a 100% match to them. Had seen plenty of bios saying stuff like "I'm crazy about tall men with beards". Sent a message saying "how bout short men with beards?" And the response was "aye, I can do that" directly referencing lotr lol

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
