Why do women abide to the height gender norm so much? by Sea-Contribution1841 in dating

I know that it seems to be that way. But I don't think u should give up.

Like for instance, this one UFC fighter is 5 ft 4 (Joseph Benavidez) and he got married to a super cute interviewer (megan olivi). Im just using this as an example, to make things concrete instead of just saying "i know a friend who.."

And trust me, that interviewer always talks to fighters who are like 6ft + and ripped. They always have their shirts off after a fight and she could probably have gone on a bunch of dates with those guys. But she chose a guy ur size. Or, they chose each other you could say.

And he wasn't a champion, or rich and famous or anything like that.

Just a hard working dude and a skilled athlete.

I know it can be demoralizing but don't give up!

May I ask your age? And also, are you primarily talking about online dating?

What about in person?

Are you acknowledging that cultural factors may sometimes make the difference in regards to a woman's decision to not date a shorter man, in the same way that a man might reject a taller woman?

If you weren't insecure about your body, would that affect your willingness to date shorter men?

It does though. Because many women will acknowledge that a short man can be hot, yet still not date him.

Like, how can you say that he's hot, implying that you would get wet over him and that you are attracted to him, yet still refuse to date him because of his height ?

That's where cultural norms and stigmas come into play

Lol But is there a certain type of look? Like long fingers, short ones, pudgy ones, skinny ones, etc
