The importance of height in dating has increased over time

‌It is true that facial looks have always been the most important factor,
but the importance of height has increased.
Of course, since every woman has different tastes,
even though everyone looks at appearance, their views on height can be divided into:
1. Don't care much
2. Care moderately, but it's manageable
3. Extremely important
Women's tendencies fall into these three categories,
but what is certain is that as time goes on,
the number of women in category 1 is plummeting, while category 3 is surging..
In other words, short men can still date,
but the pool of women they can meet has shrunk.
As women's standards have risen,
the weight placed on height, in particular, has increased.
I am in my early to mid-30s,
and even compared to our generation, the importance for kids in their early 20s today feels different.
It was important in our time too, but kids these days
almost make it a matter of life and death.
Especially with the massive development of the internet,
women talk openly about height,
and the number of men who suffer immense stress
starting from middle school has surged.
Of course, a handsome man with height is more popular than
an ugly man with height,
and people say you can make up for it with looks and charm,
but in the dating world, women hold the upper hand.
Since handsome, tall, and charming men are lining up,
the stress for short men is increasing.
As it gets worse and worse,
if you look at teen communities these days, there is an increasing number of kids
filled with defeatism starting from middle and high school.
