Am i wrong for not understanding the discourse on guys weighing girls after them saying height matters? Height/ weight are two different metrics, both matter to both genders. Ive absolutely seen men want specific heights and women want specific builds

"the discourse" exists just to generate views on social media. if you're wondering why it's a big deal, you're on the right track

because street interview content is degenerate and lowbrow, no matter what ragebait tactics are being used

It’s never done in the context of two people meeting and genuinely trying to connect. Usually it’s just a guy with a microphone trying to make fat women feel bad for having any sort of standard. Women never do this to short men. If you must compare metrics to decide whether or not to date someone, you don’t need to post it online and certainly don’t need to do it to strangers who never wanted to date you anyway.

I think it’s because weight is influenced by many factors and isn’t carried the same amongst everyone, someone who’s a bit chubby could have the same weight as someone who’s muscular at around the same height etc

I think letting weight or height be the sole reason you don’t like a person is weird. Height is not really something you can change and weight fluctuates constantly. You also don’t know why they are that weight or how healthy they are just from that. Preferences are fine but weighing people seems too far

That is the exact point. Weight is so menial in comparison it should be no issue as it is easily changeable

Plus weight changes throughout adult life much much more than height does

i absolutely agree!!! i just think its weird to weigh people on the street when they say height matters, but generally speaking its obviously not the only factor

is english your first language?

Are you inventing a standard in response to hers, or simply making your own standards? Because there’s a huge difference. The second option is normal human behavior— you know what you want and don’t entertain ppl you don’t like. Totally normal, fully within your right. You don’t owe anyone a date, ever.

The first option involves you giving up some of your autonomy out of spite. How? If you initially did not care much about weight, you might go for a heavier person that you find attractive. If you hearing that person set a boundary (e.g., no short ppl) makes you want to set your own transactional boundary in response, you’re no longer following your own clear-cut boundaries.

ok so im curious, for you, your immediate thought if they bring up height is their weight? is it because its something thry are insecure about that you can rag on? or would you also think height because thats obviously the equivalent of

Anonymous 6w

but if they bring up something, why compare at all? why not just find someone that likes you and you like them?

Anonymous 6w

but then why contribute to the toxicity? obviously treat others the way you want to be treated extends to you correct? why not be the bigger person and move on?

To you maybe. Doesn’t mean that’s how it is for everyone, or something you need to say
