I’m M28 and for context, I’m 6’3, my 3 brothers are all 6’2 and up, but both parents are short (my grand pa on my moms side was 6’6 tho).
Anyways, in the past I never cared about height, hell, my ex was 5’ tall and her whole family are short, and I didn’t care, nor did it move me. She would occasionally make jokes about how my grand father’s 6’6 genes will save our kids, she cared more about height than I did tbh.
Well, two years ago I went to my cousins wedding and he’s 6’1, he’s wife is like 5’9, her whole family were giants, dad is like 6’5, mom was like 5’7, her brothers were like 6’3-6’5. So I made the joke to my cousin about marrying into a gigantic family and he straight face was like “yea that’s how you keep it in the family, you better think of that shit now or you’ll be 45 and lowkey wish you did”.
For some reason, ever since that 5 second exchange, I stopped entertaining shorter women and only go out with women over 5’7. I genuinely had my hinge set to that and I feel like that comment changed my whole brain chemistry when it comes to preference.
A few days ago I was talking to my friend, she’s like 5’2 and she mentioned that in college I liked shorter women, but how come now I never go out with shorter women, so I gave her the whole story like I just did on this post and then she proceeded to give me a lecture about being superficial. I don’t think it’s superficial, I just think it’s a preference.
