"Wanting to measure the height difference in existing couples (as opposed to people’s preferences for a partner — we’ll come to those later), researchers in the Netherlands used survey data from 12,502 couples who were the parents to babies born in the U.K. in 2000. Their peer-reviewed study, published online in 2013, found that in 92.5 percent of couples, the man was taller than the woman and that the average height difference was 14.1 centimeters, or 5.6 inches.

But if what I see in my area (greater NY area) regularly is different than what the studies you cite (from ten and twenty-five years ago), then I won't be so inclined to restrict my view and expectations to what those studies (from Europe and not the US) show.

Re: His height made her stomach turn after a kiss

This is why I say it's critical to get out there and interact with people. It's a prerequisite to developing emotional intelligence. That EI can help you spot when someone is "trying something out". If you get that vibe, leave. Don't wait. Clearly, this woman was "trying something she hadn't before" to convince herself that if she goes against her type, she might be surprised. In this case, it just confirmed what she always felt all along, and that's no attraction for shorter men.

Re: Mega delusional

So? Let them have them. You don't notice that the most vocal group of people on YouTube crying about divorce, alimony and financial ruin are tall(er) men?

The vast majority of those red pill guys in the YouTube space with few exceptions are all tall, not short.

Re: 6'3 Donald Trump vs 5'8 Ron DeSantis

I'd say Ron DeSantis is no taller than 5'9 at best. The shortest republican candidate in recent times was John McCain (5'8) and he got a pass because of his service and being a prisoner of war (in my opinion).

Any republican before and after from at least the time of Kennedy would get trashed in the press over their height and DeSantis is no exception.

I used to think Ron was much taller, but I'd say 5'8 or 5'9 is most likely correct. Ron has been around and knows 5'8 is considered to be 5'0 presidential politics. Just four years earlier, they were insulting Marco Rubio (remember "Little Marco"?) and Rand Paul for being 5'8, so DeSantis was trying to distance himself from that as much as possible.

The thing is, DeSantis, while I don't agree with most of his politics, had no need to do that as his credentials (ex-navy seal, etc.) stood of from themselves. In facts, he was one of the few candidates with a war background and combat experience, something he could've used to his advantage over the likes of Ramaswamy.
