I believe it really does matter. In the past i have been laughed at in school by people in younger years because i don’t look ‘tall enough’ even though im average for my age. In 2026 being average just isn’t enough anymore and the dating market just gets worse and worse. In 5-10 years you will see hypergamists saying 6’5 is the ideal - if you aren’t over average (6ft) it will only be a very small minority that prefer average/below average men.
