I am curious why is height important? Understandably, income affects the lifestyle and opportunities, but what does height affect? What changes if you are several inch taller or shorter? I cannot understand. Also, why those who care about height so much do not go for basketball players? Also, the picture with income graph says "household income", not "personal income".

>I am curious why is height important?

Height coorelates with lots of things. Taller means longer feet. Taller people have larger heads as well. A large head means larger cranial capacity and therefore, likely higher IQ. Mostly, it's just our monkey brain which says taller is more formidible.

I understand that at the every end he acknowledges this is dumb, but I think the biggest issues faced by guys who follow that 6-6-6 rule is that they are immature.

Guys don't follow that rule (unless they are gay), they worry about women following it . It appears to be originating from a post on the (rather toxic and apparently now defunct) reddit sub /r/FemaleDatingStrategy many years ago, but apparently is still being brought up.

Worrying about women following…

Still a guy issue/hang-up then.

That's the male equivalent of women asking why men care about boobs and body count. The answer is "evolved intuition", like it or not.

> The answer is "evolved intuition", like it or not. Maybe. A lot of what we assume are innate sexual preferences are actually determined socially. No one was talking about "body count" (at least not publicly) ten years ago. These days, a full-figure on a woman is considered attractive, but in the 1990s, being skinny was in vogue. Insofar as an attractive partner is a status symbol, the definition of "attractive" cha…

People have been talking about virginity and monogamy for 1000s of years. Men want to know that the children they raise are their own.

It might have blipped a bit since the invention of the pill but women cuckolding their partners has been frowned upon world wide for a very long time.

Sex before monogamous marriage has historically been a big thing.

There's even songs, sagas and religious books that make virtue of it.

And you don't think the tall, rich, well-endowed man is more likely to be a little more confident than the short, poor micro-penised man? Put "I'm fun and confident" in your dating profile and I'll put "6'4"" and we'll see how that pans out. You won't be having much fun and your confidence will be shot.

BEING fun and confident matters. Saying you are is, well, not fun or confident. A friend of mine, well below 6 feet, once had a dating profile where he went into a weird tangent about loving mac and cheese. A weird, sexual and hilarious tangent, where he started arguing with you, the reader, about why are we still talking about this? I said I never had sex with a bowl of mac and cheese! It was classic and he got a to…

Rich and handsome 6'4" men have no problem standing out. This is the point. Online dating does not suck for them.

Your goofy friend might get lots of updoots on reddit but if he's short and broke it would be immediately reject him. They will never even see his mac and cheese bio. Online dating would be a waste of time for him at best; at worst, kiss goodbye to this delusional confidence once the crushing reality manifests.

In my country there is a saying: height is half of beauty.

A tall person moving around a social setting naturally attracts more eyes, gets more noticed, attracts more attention. She literally “stands out”.

For both male and females I’d say. Then societal complexes pressure some people into the shorter gal taller guy couple stereotype, but the height itself is just a physical thing that brings more attention.

So for example, a 6 feet tall nerdy-looking geek is better than 5' 6" athlete or celebrity? Doesn't seem logical to me.

I’d prefer anyone else over an athlete or a celebrity, regardless of height. Humans are allowed to have different preferences.

The only three 6 mafia rule i follow is "What is her favorite three 6 album"? Anything after "Da Unbreakables" is a red flag IMO. If "Chapter 2" or "Live By Yo Rep" come up, I might be in love.

Athletes and celebrities are famous people who have a lot of eyes on them and thus naturally get more attention.

I feel bad for Paul Simon—probably never got laid.
