I don't think I'll ever understand why people think this way.
I talked to some women online who told me that they are looking for someone taller than me, ideally 1.95 up, but it's fine. My interest at that point is already gone anyway so i don't care if my 1.85 is tall enough and if i'm a good enough accessory for someone 25 cm shorter than me.
But it got me thinking, because i don't really see myself as tall. I feel just normal, i have never been taller and only a short amount of time shorter. But when i do see someone taller or in the 1.95+ range, it does stand out, and it doesn't happen too often. It is quite restricting if you only want to date tall people, because they have to be tall, single, attractive, compatible and in your age range. It's so confusing. If i'd only date women that are 1.80 cm tall, my dating pool would be one woman in a 70km radius.
Also height difference is not always great for sexy time
I get why a woman would enjoy being easily carried by her man or things like that (which a shorter but strong man could accomplish too), but the height (and probably weight) difference can limit sexual positions (or their practicality)
