Women base most of their “preferences” on trends and what is popular, and are far more influenced by what other women think than even their own instincts - the whole 6 foot thing is a perfect example

Women have always preferred taller men, but the explosion of social media and online dating have taken it to levels of absurdity, to the point that a large percentage of women now have it as a non-negotiable requirement regardless of what they themselves have to offer or how stubby they are (hence the memes of 4’11” women stating their requirement that men be 6’5.”)

Take Jacob Elordi for example. The guy has a very weird looking face, like a 13th century European peasant, or a creepy doll or one of those mirror images of half of someone’s face. But boom 6’5” international heartthrob. Pete Davidson, Post Malone and MGK additional examples, guys look homeless.

Then you have women desiring men who are taken or even married. It’s all about conformity and competitiveness rather than nature and instinct. Everything else is secondary.
