What's the real reason women care about a man's height?
I really don't care if a guy is over 6 feet. I actually prefer about 4 inches taller than me. Why do women want a guy over a foot taller?

I think that's in big part a consequence of socially imposed gender roles; males are expected to be dominant and females are expected to be submissive. If you don't fit those criteria, you're less attractive. When you're submissive, you want to look physically weaker than your partner. When you're dominant, the opposite is true.

I think it harks back to evolution. To have a man taller would mean strength and protection.

I would think there are no "real" reasons. Only that stature may be of significance. Personal preference as well. Beyond that would be psychological and social impedance. I always wondered how Napoleon pulled it off. Brilliant.

I prefer taller than me, in part because I like the thought of being able to lay my head against a shoulder when being held. That said, it's not a deal breaker for me, and I've found shorter guys more interesting most of the time anymore. So it just is what it is, for me, either way.

"Protection and safety," they claim. Most young white and black women in the US are 5'5"/5'6" (166 cm) and prefer a man to be 6-7 inches (17 cm) taller than them. That means, six feet *minimum.* And to women, six feet isn't even "tall," just "acceptable enough." Like a C-, as opposed men under six feet being an F in their eyes. It also makes no sense how you say you (only) want a taller guy, but can't understand why women want tall guys. Maybe you're just really short in comparison to a typical 5'6" American girl.

how you view someone is always based on the first meet, wether or not it changes in the future is based on how you behave.

Trauma based responses to life can be changed by study and practice of epigenetics. Healing is absolutely possible on all levels once we start to remember our earliest traumatic experiences and choose to forgive, let go and forget. It's not an easy task, but when one wants, one will find a way.✌️ 💕

How well do you handle criticism especially from strangers? Does it depend on the mistake or perhaps another factor?

Anyone else read/listen to this?
It's similar to some other works I've read, but much more linear. Also a lot funnier . If you haven't checked it out give it a try.

How Do You Feel About AI?
I don't mean AI art here. But rather, utilising AI as a substitute for companionship, someone to talk to, however that might look to someone. (You know what I mean.) Have you ever used AI to supplement a friendship or relationship?
