Why do many women place so much importance on height (a genetic trait) and at the same time seem to care so little about weight and body fat percentage (traits that are the result of our habits and say a lot about our health)?

Genetics, anyone can workout not everyone can be tall

You can change your weight; you can't change your height.

Women don’t love obesity either.

However, I think the height thing is about projecting masculinity and dominance over them.

Weight isn't linearly related to attractiveness and you can't use some threshold to divide more/less attractive people. The average person doesn't understand body fat percentage.

Being obese will hurt you in dating more than being short will.

Why would it matter whether it was genetic or not? People don't get to choose what they're attracted too.

Class warfare, only the rich get to be tall since they eat better while we the poor eat few because we can only afford rice and lentils while the rich meat, cheese and milk.

The rich control the media and start promoting heightism against the working classes.

Look north and south korea, north korea is 10 cm shorter on average because they are poorer and eat less meat and cheese and fish.

Which women want taller guys? ALL of them? Are you telling me that a 5'3 woman wants a 6'4 guy? The disparity simply does not work out. The tall guy will not want to be with someone that short. He would want a woman similar to his height.

In other words, the short 5'3 woman will happily get with a 5'5 guy. That means most short guys suddenly qualify. But most of you black pilled guys push the height nonesense to such extremes due to your lack of understanding and deliberate moving of goal posts. I bet the answer I'll get to this is that supposedly these short women will have a high n count. So I've said it myself to rule you out from saying it.

Let's hear your opinions.

Wild guess?

1) maybe for evolutionary reasons? A fat person indicates access to food and comfort.

2) weight can be changed so it matters less. Height cannot?

Regarding your first point:

Genetics. You can change your weight but not your height (of course there are certain genetic traits that favor muscular bodies etc. but you get the idea)

Second point: Females in general have and need a higher body fat percentage for adequate reproductive health. Obesity in women has historically been associated with pregnant bodies, fertility and is still a desirable trait in certain modern cultures.

Most kids do sports so I wouldn’t agree that mothers don’t care about their children being fit. The issue is that a lot of parents don’t have enough time to prepare healthy meals anymore

Tall men, women, and children tend to be more successful and have better opportunities than most of their average/ short peers despite being in similar circumstances. I personally prefer taller men for safety purposes. Most people will not try engaging in suspicious behavior with me with simply having a man around. But what differs from being with a tall vs average height man is that tall men are far more intimidating and command more authority in case someone thinks to try anything funny. It’s no coincidence that 90%+ of CEO’s and presidents are above 6’0+ despite making a small percentage of the population. Weight isn’t as important as that is something that can be changed.

SolidPuzzleheaded984 · 2023-01-08T01:13:42+00:00

Because good genetics are rare.

It’s also unattainable so it makes it in high demand

FuckAllYou2022 · 2023-01-08T01:21:34+00:00

Who said they fit care about weight?

esdebah · 2023-01-08T01:27:31+00:00

It sucks. It's definitely not just women. Tall people get promoted and automatically treated like leaders in the work place as well. Shorter folks get infantalized.

The good news is that women are still shorter on average than men, so there's almost certainly plenty of cute tiny women out there for you. And if not, look to Peter Dinklage.
