a high proportion of the female population think it very important. Many have a minimum height requirement. In millions of cases the bar is 6ft or higher. In many cases it's part of the 'rule of sixes', a ridiculous set of minimum requirements/expectations by a significant minority of women which also includes a six-pack abdomen, a six-figure salary, a six-inch penis & having spent six years in tertiary education.

Why would it be worth going out with someone that narrow-minded and unrealistic in their expectations anyway? If I were you I would look for some much more down-to-earth people...

Hi @FordRanger - I can sympathise a lot with worries around getting into a relationship. From my own perspective, for what it's worth, I'd just like to have a partner who I love and get on well with! Their height is probably the last thing I'd be worried about, I don't care if they're taller or shorter than me - I know that everyone has preferences and that, conventionally, there's much more pressure on men to be tall, but there are many different kinds of people out there and you don't know who you might meet until you go and find out

Nothing wrong with being short, mate.

I’m so worried about other people too - I want you all to be okay and I wish I could magic all your struggles away!! I feel bad for needing to vent myself. I’m relatively alright and I don’t really think I belong here. I’m terrible at supporting people (I never know what to say) and I don’t think my own struggles are serious enough really.

You absolutely belong here @AnonymousToe never invalidate your own struggles and feelings! And even if you weren't struggling at all then there's nothing bad about staying here, we always appreciate extra company, extra listening ears, and extra toes

I don’t even know what I’m talking about. My brain isn’t working because I’m so tired, but still the anxiety won’t go away. I think I’m making a fuss about nothing but I feel like I’m going crazy. I hate late night anxiety!!

Sorry for all this nonsense 😂

This genuinely feels like reading one of my own 3am posts xD its cool! Hope venting that out has helped you fall asleep. Do you go late to sleep or do you struggle actually falling asleep for so long? Cause maybe you could try going to bed earlier to avoid this midnight anxiety?

Sending big hugs

always here if you need!

Re: Overthinking about originality

I was thinking about something similar a little while ago. I love creating dogs in a certain video game. I had this idea that I was going to try to make the video game dogs look as realistic as possible. Then I came across someone online who has already done that. I admired their work but was a little disappointed. I felt the idea had already been 'taken'. But after a while, I sat and thought about it. Given how many people there are in the world and how many play this video game, there's bound to be more than a few who had the same idea. But just because someone else has done it, doesn't mean that I can't. And I realised that even if you create something a certain way (and someone else has done it too) you still have your own 'style'. It's your take on something. So even if creations are similar, there will still be differences too. Hope this helps a little

Re: Worried about relationships

I don't know why people make it seem like being tall guarantees you a great relationship. If it makes you feel better then I'm very tall yet I've never had a relationship, so its not a guarantee. I guess it could impact the 'attractiveness' factor of a person, but even attractiveness is subjective and different for different people.

With that said, your height is not something you can change, so don't worry about this at all! I've seen plenty of short men in lovely relationships so really no need to worry
