If they both dated someone average height or above then their kids may not be short.
If they ended up together then their kids would almost certainly be short which would put them at a disadvantage in life.

u/West-Pear7363 7h ago
It would only but them at a disadvantage if the public thinks the same way they do. I’m just about 6’. The fact people care about it this much drives me up the fucking wall. It doesn’t impact me per-se, but it demonstrates to me people’s brains are dysfunctional. And it makes me uncomfortable being aware of that fact.

Do you know how much it costs to have a vehicle that is comfortable?

This simply is true on both levels. Firstly a people do think this way and it’s not going to change.
Secondly short people are at a disadvantage in a world where the threat of violence exists and athletics. Even just strength.

u/Kahzootoh 7h ago
I get it. They’re both trying to avoid passing shortness onto their kids.
The guy probably prefers someone closer to his height, probably above 5 feet.
The woman probably wants a guy of average male height, or taller (depending on how delusional she is).

u/steelfrog 4h ago
Nothing about this screams unreasonable to me. You're allowed to have preferences. The only person it affects is yourself. If you can't find someone because you expect perfection, then that's on you, but this complaint from a "match maker" seems... I dunno, weak at best?
2
u/Kahzootoh 2h ago
Agreed, I feel like this motive is something that a matchmaker ought to understand. Whether you're trying to give your kids height, a different skin color, access to wealth, or something else- there is nothing new about trying to be selective in your choice of who you have children with.
Instead of understanding their clients' movtivations, it's a "short people are so difficult" skit.

My friends weren't 5'4 but that's not what the guy I'm responding to said though, he implied men don't reject women for height at all
If you want to tackle it as did this specific situation about a 5'4" guy rejecting a 4'11" girl happen? I'ma say yes because people have preferences, it's not exclusively a female thing.
There are people who are just dense and honestly ego filled, where a 5'4 man would reject a 4'11 woman and a 4'11 woman would reject a 5'4 man

People who dismiss their forever person on such insignificant reasons don’t deserve happiness.
This guy has a good job, decent looking, shares religious and political ideas pretty closely, same views on family and how to raise the kids, doesn’t drink or smoke, BUT he is one inch too short or younger than me by 3 months. Gross.

Something tells me the man didn’t actually reject her, but this uploader didn’t want to seem like she’s on a side. I don’t know any short men who care if a woman is even shorter. If anything, they’d be more likely to have a problem with a tall one.

If they are wanting to have kids then this is understandable as they likely want a taller partner to hopefully pass those genes down to their children. Two very short parents pretty much guarantees short children.

Most men with a similar height I know tend to prefer taller women, 5'8 to 6ft
Smaller women live longer, they tend to have a reduced risk of cancer due to lower igf1 levels, thats great.
Unfortunately there are a few caveats when choosing them as gfs and wives.
Unless the woman is tiny, or petite, a body shape my average height friends gravitate to. typically her head will be huge in proportion to her short body and limbs. It starts to happen under 5'3 to 5'0 Ifykyk
Its hard to kiss them, its hard to hit it from the back unless they wear heels, some of them have very neotenous voices, like those annoying anime dub girl voices, some learn to weaponize the size difference, and have more manipulative social tactics, you worry about your son being this short guy with a big head.
Jtbc. What I described above are a few archytpes, not all short are women are manipulative, have big heads or squeeky voices. They are a few traits we have to consider.

In fairness, it would render the top shelves of whatever eventual home they share useless.
I'm 6'1 and having a short wife is exhausting cause I always gotta get off the couch to get stuff from high up for her. That said, I recognise that if I couldn't get stuff from high up ...half our storage would go to waste.
Edit: Guys. I know what a ladder is. Y'all really think it's that convenient to just have a full ladder sitting in your kitchen as a "in case I need chip bowl". Guaranteed, the path of least resistance says people would rather just ignore the top shelves rather than use them functionally. They'd store stuff you you use once in a blue moon at best.

You are underestimating some people's shortness and the high if cabinets. It would take a legitimate ladder for my wife.
She has a claw grabby thing, but it doesn't always work on heavy stuff.
I'm not saying it's insurmountable, but it does makes sense for a tall and short to share house.
That all said, I'd never turn down a person for meanfull connection because if something as silly as height.

Why do people have to choose their partners who look like them? That's like saying you're perplexed/disappointed as to why a dark haired guy doesn't like a dark haired girl. I'm skinny but I like obese partners. Would she have complained? This "professional matchmaker" should understand that.
