A woman who is preparing to meet h a man she matched with on Tinder has provoked a lively debate about whether height really matters when dating, ater admitting she's nervous about him potentially being shorter than her.
Posting anonymously on Mumsnet, the UK-based woman explained she's 5ft 8in and has always dated taller men, and asked if she's 'incredibly shallow' to worry that a man she's planning a socially-distanced date with might be shorter.

Was in a similar situation.
I can understand the 5’8” gals wanting a guy closer to 6’.
What I couldn’t understand were the 5’0 and 5’2 gals insisting they would only date guys over 6’. At a certain point it would seem the mechanics get difficult there...
Back when I was single, I never got matches on dating sites. Until I started adding inches to my height. Suddenly I had more matches than I could possibly deal with and at least 1/3 of them were at least 2” shorter than I. It turned out that basically nothing was important to women except height - I tried some hysterical combinations to validate that. The irony of how women constantly shame men for being shallow when they’re literally worse always made me chuckle.
But that’s the game - you either deal with the rules or don’t play.
I’ve gone out with taller women. It can feel a little awkward, and I’d guess that for a majority of women it is indeed an issue. With that said, I have a female acquaintance who, in her single days, was constantly rebuffing men on the basis that they weren’t tall enough to suit her. She said that her male height expectations were based on the fact that her father had been an extremely tall man. So it was something of a surprise to everyone when she met and married a genuinely short fellow. And, no, he wasn’t rich. :) So it was a huge issue for her... until it wasn’t. Love is weird.
Social justice jihadis are attacking all personal preferences. That you’re an evil sinner if you won’t date a fat woman, a race you’re not attracted to, a trans person.
There is a negative correlation between height and wallet. Shorter needing a thicker wallet to compensate.
Chuckle.
Well I am short and believe it or not, some men are too tall. I don’t want someone towering over me.

Two of the criteria eliminate liberals from consideration. ;)
How much money does he have. That could be the deciding factor
Sometimes women state they prefer taller guys but if they make a connection with a guy a little shorter it might not matter as much. It depends upon each individual. I’m 5’6 and prefer women my height or a few inches taller but over 5’10 would be too awkward. Some women won’t budge off their height requirements. Life isn’t fair but God is good and supplies in ways of unexpected opportunities.
Length and girth over height?
There is a positive correlation between age and wallet size. The older the man, the bigger the wallet needs to be.
Yeah, I used to be date a 5' 9" woman, while I am 'only' 5' 10". She complained that she couldn't find a taller man. No, we didn't date for long, but were friends for twenty years.
ultimately, for happiness and long marriages, it doesn't matter.

A perfect height match is her head on his shoulder, period.
I saw a show on cable TV years ago. Amazon women or some such name. There was a woman who was 6’7 and her husband was 5’8. She was absolutely crazy in love with this guy. There’s plenty of men over 6ft tall she could have hooked up with but wow she’s nearly a foot taller than he. Go figure.
True. And two other criteria—must be a Trump fan and must love dogs.
Who’s that blonde with Joe Biden?
I’ve seen Elizabeth Kucinich. She is stunning, impossible to miss.
