The idea of “feeling safe” is idiotic, IMO. Are we in a hunter-gatherer tribe? And rating someone based on a gross metric such as height or breast size is pretty low-brow, like measuring them in pounds — are we meat?

Indeed, as a population, women do objectify men every bit as much as men objectify women. The height bias is very real.

I have to say, if I were a woman, I would not want to be with someone a-lot taller than me — it would seem creepy, kind of like I was a child and them an adult. I would be looking up to my partner all the time, and they looking down — like a parent and child. Ick.

I want to be more or less eye to eye with my partner. (I am average height, and my wife is on the tall side, so we are actually pretty close in height.) It feels more equal that way.
