Because it's more attractive.

Being slim is obejectively more attractive than being fat, despite this we have what's called plus size modelling.

Are women going to boycott the modelling industry for not creating a short size modelling category? Don't think so.

That depends on the man. Taller women tend to have better options.

Taller women have LESS options and it is not for the reasons you think.

Tall women have less options because they want men taller than they are.

A 5'5" woman will date men 5'6" or taller. A 6'0" woman will try to date men 6'1" or taller. So a short woman has a wider range of men she would date.

Tall women, say 6'2" and above, have it the worst since men taller than 6'2" are very rare, tall women realize there is a shortage of men taller than they are and just date the most confident man they can find. Here is a graph for height distribution, men are blue, women are red.

Then your argument "Taller women tend to have better options" is false.

No, because being more approachable to shorter men is not an indication of access to better quality.

Being a tall as a man (let's say 6'2") raises your value, but it doesn't necessarily mean your are BETTER, than shorter men. You could be a 6'2", a bum, no goals in life, no education, low wage job, socially inept, etc. Or you could be 5'8" have a masters degree, your own business, be confident, black belt in any martial arts, have high status, have social connections, be a well mannered and well spoken man. I know which one I would rather be. Height is just one factor in the whole equation.

Taller people have better career prospects and dating success (men, especially).

Not at all! That's why I'm here... There is no blackpilled women content. The best thing I could find was on "true rate me" and "QOVES" content (for the physical features theory). But I had to do a very deep research and study my own features A LOT, not only the physical ones, but also questioning my emotional intelligence and knowledge to to know what i can do in the future to look better as I am. I discovered that: 1. You won't look like the golden ratio mask of perfect beauty, but you can get really close with soft and hard maxxing. It depends more of your cranial format - consider anthropology - than you think, but most of the things could be changed. Beauty is more abouth harmony and familiarity than full symmetry. 2. Some of the features of this masks don't suit well both genders, when I saw the video of the "photoshop surgeon", I realized that the mask, even having a masculine and a feminine design were completely androgynous. 3. QOVES is an amazing creator, he showed things about the golden ratio mask and the characteristics that make it androgenous and unachievable at some point. 4. You should take care of your mental health exercising your body (hit gym) and practicing stoicism. Why? It will give you a base to overcome your insecurities, sometimes, blackpill get too toxic, so take care of yourself. I love this two quotes, they gave me the key to be in peace with myself: "It is a shame for a men to grow old without knowing the beauty of what his body is capable of" and "the society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools". We have to achieve better aesthetic, strength of our bodies, our minds and souls. 5. Read the Bible and study the Roman empire...even if you are an atheist. It might sound wierd, but there is a lot of wisdom there to be shared. Know the history of humanity is also helping you to look forward and become better inside out, and obviously, more interesting to interact. 6. Keep looking for those studies like this one we are interacting by comments, those data helps a lot to predict human behavior, since some of those things that are in us came from a combination of the evolutionary behaviour (what makes us animals) and social movements (all the influence we are exposed nowadays). I really like to see Jordan Peterson content, because he uses the combination of all of the following items above on his speech like: how men react to attractive women, how woman behave to a social economic position of men that could possibly be her partner on a long term relationship, how our brains are wired to work on a relationship and the gender differences that we should comprehend to live in our society. 7. Know where you are going to invest your money and time. I have three deal breakers for the dating scene: the first is the level of attractiveness, do we looksmatch? The second is loyalty, of course, because if this person had at least in touch with his own essence using this knowledge of philosophy, psychology and self development, he will develop a very strong sense of loyalty and be sure I am the partner that matches his lifestyle, because believe it or not, love is a rational choice, but passion and lust isn't. The third one is generosity, people who are generous with others tend to creat better opportunities to themselves and protect people around them, rather with financial resources, or with the negotiating capability. So before rushing into a relationship, work really hard on yourself. The maxxing journey is more than achieve the beauty standards, it's a whole package of full challenges inside out, knowing well your darkest and lightest side and tendencies. - Now the other question: Absolutely not! I can see more people that won't invest on the items i told you above, going for maxxing only their financial situation to maxxing appearance and getting extremely frustrated, because they should be working all of the things together. This is a full journey of development for me, and having all of this knowledge helps me to look out for all of this in a healthy way. Sorry for the size of my answer. I took a long way respond, but had to put this brainstorm out. Sometimes, things are more complex that we think it is. Both genders are drawn to that and for a very simple and obvious reason: beauty matters? Yes! But you can't put all your success chances only in the "beauty box". It helps but doesn't solve problems.

Hey, I appreciate the well-thought-out response. I don't see why women need a blackpill. Women are more concerned with looks (women are more easily disgusted than men) than men are. It's just that women have to select from a wide array of attributes (protect, provide, loyalty, good father traits, etc) so they end up settling.

Men find most women attractive. But, women find only a few men attractive. So, after a woman gets with a man, she has to exude her respect, loyalty, and kindness for her man while maintaining her looks. Looks are just the primary criteria. After passing that criteria, other preferences begin to matter.

I however disagree with the blackpill on a societal level.

There is no perfect man or woman. A highly attractive man that's smart and industrious doesn't exist. Tony stark is only fiction. I would say the more attractive the person, the lower their IQ. That's because nature tries to regress genetic features to the mean. If you've read Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath, he talks about the disadvantages of advantages and the advantages of disadvantages.

Men have had extreme selection pressures (being able to survive, protect and provide for the family) in the past. Women have always had just one - sexual selection. And, it works because women just make babies and help around. In fact, women with lower IQs have much higher reproductive success than higher IQ women. So, women can afford to be dumb and useless, and still be prided on their looks; but a man can't be dumb or useless.

Given that looks are objective, if people get with other people solely for their looks then the genetic pool of our society will become homogenous. And, attractive people actually have no inherent value. They don't contribute to a society. They're valuable only in a highly developed society where looks are the only differentiator.

So, if society follows the blackpill, we might have lots of Justin Bieber types walking around. Women will lust over them, however, they won't be able to maintain a functioning society. And then a neighboring civilization, of average-looking but highly industrious men will take over.

Update: She rejected me. But, I don't think it was my height. Sure, being taller and more good looking would've sealed the deal, but my social skills were lack luster.

The Blackpill community is obsessed over the halo effect. Getting things that you don't deserve because of your height, looks etc. But, I'm happy to be in a position where I work hard to get things to go my way.

I agree that attraction is the base of a relationship between a man and a woman. However, once you're sufficiently attractive, you should focus on other skills to make yourself valuable to your partner. No matter how pretty you get, men will be interested in fucking with other even average women. Because, men aren't hypergamous, they don't want the prettiest woman on the planet, it's just that pretty women are hard to get and men like competition. Men are polygamous by nature.

Unless the goal is to get more swipes on Tinder and more hookups, focusing on looks after having crossed a threshold is pointless.
