Height strongly signals healthy genes, longevity, and access to good nutrition... stands to reason that women would evolve to select for height when choosing a mate.
- Mz 11y agoI am aware of that piece of it. But I think it is more complicated than that and this is probably not the right place to discuss it in earnest. I post as openly female on HN. I am vastly outnumbered by men. Given that situation, some topics are just a great way to get down voted to hell over.
- mobilefriendly 11y agoDefinitely glad you're on HN, hopefully nothing in this conversation is unsettling. I agree, from my experienced male perspective, female desire is way more complicated than just height...a man's confidence, masculinity, fitness, style, and social/business standing are all just as important in the mix. Which is why a short man should not despair but improve the things he can control.
- Mz 11y agoThanks. I hate feeling like some of my comments get downvoted into the negatives merely for providing a female perspective. But, apparently, that bothers me less than the idea of not providing a female perspective at all. Over time, things have gotten better. I like to think that is partly my doing.:-) Take care.
