Most people don't really know what they want until they've had their perspective is broadened.

Filtering people out based on specific physical attributes is wild in my opinion. So glad I found my partner before that became 'normal'.

That being said I'm speaking for full fledged adults. We have research now that suggests adolesence extends to age 32. I wouldn't be suprised if people in their 20s were overly focussed on the concept of a perfect physical match in their search for a partner, just from my memory of living through that age.

The last girl I dated was 5'10", and I'm 6'1", for comparison, but when we sat down next to each other, she was a good 2", taller than me, because my legs are much longer than hers, but my torso is shorter.

If she had my legs, she would have been 6'3", and if I had hers, I would have been 5'8"

Slight tangent: maybe this is just an online thing since I hardly ever hear it in real life, but I do not understand the mean comments towards short men (especially from women who are still shorter than them). You get all the benefits of man™ in compact form. What’s not to like??

I don't get it either. I'm 5'4", my first boyfriend was 5'1", and it was fine? It lasted less than a year in highschool, but I remember it fondly.

I'm 5'3 and my last girlfriend was 5'10. That relationship was pretty good and she seemed happy for like a year but she did tell me once that she wished I was taller though and also ended up cheating on me so who knows...

Damn, I’m sorry 🫂 that is a flaw with her character and not your height though.

Would you admit to being taken down by a chihuahua?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

If a chihuahua kicked my ass I would tell that story at every party.

[–] lasta@piefed.world 12 points 4 hours ago

Chihuahuas are the scrappiest ones lol. If it won that fight I’ll give credit where it’s due.

Short muscly women, short women with a death stare, short guys with tattoos and attitude, yeah I'm into alla that.
