    Can someone explain this “trend” with asking someone’s height and it being an elimination factor?

    Because this is the equivalent to the “big boobs” factor but only more obvious.

      Some women don’t want to date men who are shorter than them (and vice versa). Just like some men wouldn’t want to date women with smaller boobs than them.

          I was on Tinder for a year and never once was asked that question. It’s either a US thing or an internet meme.

          I do think the height thing is almost biological due to how common it is, even across cultures.

          The overemphasis on numbers, not so much.

        Of course, only one of those people is a “bad person” for their preferences and is “body shaming.” The other is totally different, because.

          I dunno, in my circles, either is seen as an acceptable preference. Mocking someone for either would be body shaming. I never really even considered the way that you said it.
