    I recall one moment with an ex GF, we were the same height, never bothered me, it was what it was. I still recall we went to some even though, she put on some heels and turned around and gave me just the most heart breaking pity look and took off her heels. Man, it never occurred to me it was or would be a problem, but I could see it was to her.

    That didn’t ruin the relationship or anything, we continued for quite a bit after, but I still recall that vividly.

    Can someone explain this “trend” with asking someone’s height and it being an elimination factor?

    Because this is the equivalent to the “big boobs” factor but only more obvious.

      Some women don’t want to date men who are shorter than them (and vice versa). Just like some men wouldn’t want to date women with smaller boobs than them.

        Of course, only one of those people is a “bad person” for their preferences and is “body shaming.” The other is totally different, because.

          I dunno, in my circles, either is seen as an acceptable preference. Mocking someone for either would be body shaming. I never really even considered the way that you said it.
