This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Can someone explain this "trend" with asking someone's height and it being an elimination factor?

Because this is the equivalent to the "big boobs" factor but only more obvious.

Some women don't want to date men who are shorter than them (and vice versa). Just like some men wouldn't want to date women with smaller boobs than them.

I feel like one of those is much more common though

Of course, only one of those people is a "bad person" for their preferences and is "body shaming." The other is totally different, because.

I dunno, in my circles, either is seen as an acceptable preference. Mocking someone for either would be body shaming. I never really even considered the way that you said it.
