Women are demanding that their partners be "tall".

Any guy taller than me was a candidate, and I'm short to it's not an issue.

But short guys have a real shorty guy syndrome issue working against them.

That is not borne out historically and I’d be interested in the stats.

You’ve made lots of claims and blanket statements and provided nothing of substance to substantiate them.

Your word is just your opinion and not evidence.

Wrong. But men won’t believe it.

Gee, the same character traits as in men.

Imagine that.

The issue is women prefer men who are tall. Taller men have more status. That's been shown over and over again. It says nothing about his talent, character etc etc but alas, humans seem to be wired that way - and that is especially true for women.

I could hurl all sorts of insults at women here and call them shallow, vain, etc etc but what's the point? They like what they like. That's not going to change. We all might as well accept it.

PS One of my 2 best friends is 5'5. Sucks for him. He's a good dude but this has always made things quite difficult for him with women.

That's funny. I would say exactly the same of your claims in this thread.

That’s a joke, right? There have been plenty of virtuous “American women” who have eagerly pursued married men and won’t hesitate in breaking up a family.

Women nowadays want males to have experience because nowadays women want to settle down later and party in their 20’s/early 30’s. More women by the numbers are fornicating more with a smaller percentage of men who are sexually desireable aka, Chad.

The Chads are having a great time, the miserable ones are the marriage minded males and the mid 30’s/40’s females who pretend they don’t have regrets from sleeping around.

you are describing my ex son in law. a cheatin’ drinkin’ cheap sob who was shocked that my daughter wanted a divorce.
He has a kid with 1 woman,( gave up custody so he did not have to pay support) and just got jail time for DUI and slapping wife #2 around.
But she was supposed to “fix that” according to mommy!

“I’m willing to accept being single versus settling for someone who isn’t the right fit.”

I suspect any fit would be a bad fit for this gal.

“women started realizing that even if they played by men’s rules, stayed home and raised children...”

&0% of divorces are initiated by women.

Women won't admit it but they are not brain wired to live independently. They are always thinking too far ahead and over thinking. Men say, " where do you wanna eat?" How about five guys, or olive garden? " others say " "ok".

Women ask each other " where do you wanna eat? " and proceed to have a board meeting and discuss what each place has, what they don't want and who's driving".

I got lucky, when my wife asks where we want to eat, I can usually sense her mood from how she is dressed and how soon she wants to leave.. and from there ask pizza? Burgers? Deli? Seafood? Chinese? Steak?

with my friends its " you want want mexican or american?" What time? and done!

Just wait for the coming big war—then marriage will become real popular. Especially if unmarried women are being drafted to fly drones on the battlefields. The Big War is coming folks—its just a question of when not if.

single, childless, and soulless.

Liberals gave. American women have not. Never follow liberals into believing anything they say.

One critical issue these days.

If you ask a woman what her most important accomplishments or priorities are these days—many will say “my career”.

If you had most men list the top ten desirable traits they sought in a woman “successful career” would not even be on the list.

It would either be neutral or negative.

If the women in this article want to find the best men they can they need to figure out what is on the male top ten list and work on those things.

IMO a lot of these women expect the perfect fairy tale.

AKA Disney Propaganda.
