This tall.
*Puts hand on top of head. Whilst sitting down.
I’ve never been asked by anyone when I was first dating them. But then I’m just a hair under 6’.
fucking-roller-coaster
Of love?
What a weird question. They do have eyes, do they not? If you cannot visually establish if someone is smaller the you then it’s probably negligible.
For a beautiful strange moment, I thought you were going the other direction with this:

Every time I see memes about hight I ask myself why are americans so fixated on that. It’s like this is the major thing american women look in a man. Never seen that anywhere else.
Brazil here. My ex wouldn’t date anyone shorter than 175cm and my current gf wouldn’t even look at me if i was under that height.
Couldn’t you just have lied I mean on the first date did you bring out a measuring tape? Do you actually know how tall you are I find it weird that people would care enough to check.
Couldn’t you just have lied
Why would I? I am over 175cm
did you bring out a measuring tape?
With my current gf, she was the measuring tape, we’re both the same height.
Do you actually know how tall you are
Of course I do
I find it weird that people would care enough to check.
Weird is not caring about your height, imo.
I’ve never actually heard anyone say they cared about height. I’ve only heard second hand stories.
Mostly saying, I think it’s a fairly small amount of people that care.
Not true at all. Hugely important factor for women who are dating. You can literally look up the data on this, heigh is incredibly important for hetero women
Many of my American friends will not date someone shorter than themselves, I guess in part it’s social inertia because it’s just embarrassing more than unattractive
Thank you for adding one more second hand story to alexstsrfire’s collection
I would see myself do this just to make fun of the situation XD. Honestly if height is a requirement your better of looking somewhere else 😅
And that’s coming from a dutchie.
Speaking of Dutch height requirements… my wife is Dutch. We met at a dance. We chatted a bit, and she did a literal translation at one point of “hoe lang ben je?”.
Her: You’re pretty tall. How long are you?
Me: Long enough, I promise you!
That is one way to break the ice XD
I think that’s a good response.
“How tall are you?”.
“Why, are you a rollercoaster? Haha”Laugh it off and see how she reacts. If she’s awkward and remorseful or she’s pushy you can either go on with the date or ask her how much she weighs or her bra size. Then transition into how men can be offended by such a question.
Statistically taller people are seen as more attractive and therefore more successful. So good genes. So “you want to have kids with me? That’s a little fast…” Could be a quip.
This is hopefully a more avoidable issue because the more toxic people put in rollercoaster requirements right in their bio.
“Must be at least this tall to ride”
Why aren’t these funny?
This is fucking hilarious.
bc short incel rage isnt ever funny
Were these comics always like this or have the staff all turned into manosphere dick heads over the years? Saw another one the other day where the whole punchline was basically “haha rape”. Used to enjoy occasionally seeing these in my Facebook feed another lifetime ago but a lot of what I’ve seen here on Lemmy so far has been pretty questionable.
C&H comics have been about lewdness and shock humour for decades now, since they started, no?
“Edgy” has gone over into “toxic”
Better than most of these!
I’ve never had to be in the dating game, so I gotta ask: Is there any way this is a good question in a conversation? Is it possible that it’s just an awkward opening, or is it always the equivalent of asking a woman what’s her bra size or whatever?
Is there any way this is a good question in a conversation?
It’s a pretty dumb question in a face-to-face encounter since you can see for yourself how tall somebody is.
So pretty much the same as asking for cup size
Usually it’s not part of the date conversation for me because it doesn’t matter if you date an average heigth guy. if a guy is really fucking tall and I’m genuinely interested about how tall he is I have asked, nobody ever minded. I think this whole height fetish is a little bit out if control because of dating apps maybe. Because I’ve met all of my boyfriend live and then you can see about what height they have. And I’ve never minded if somebody is small or tall.
Sure, and if a girl has mega huge 32h knockers I’m sure she isn’t (that) mad either (except you’re still objectifying the tall/giant tiddie person in a sense, even if that isn’t the intent, and the man is less likely to even catch on to that to be mad about it, but I digress), but asking someone who has been repeatedly made fun of or rejected because they are “short” or “flat” is more likely to yield a different reaction.
Though yes there are also women who don’t care, my first GF was taller than me for instance, just like there’s men who actually prefer smaller boobs, like me, it happens. Though the existence of people like my ex and I doesn’t indicate frequency (as in, though our preferences are as such, it is still entirely possible that most women prefer tall and most men prefer honkers, all we prove is the existence of people who do not fit that paradigm, too, but not in what ratio.)
Maybe if your first date is to go on a rollercoaster
