The gals are going to have to be content pairing off with other gals, then, because the average height of the typical male of breeding age in the USA is about 5' 10". Hell, I'm 6' 4" (just a hair shy of two standard-deviations off normal) and can't find a decent one! (But I'm also rather picky having been in relationships that went badly.)Barleymower wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:57 pmMy daughter tells me that body shaming is a big thing among the girls "You can't say that it's body shaming!"

Maybe it's the start of a rejection of the notion of machismo? Who knows, but one can hope!

I’m really hoping you’re referring to height and you meant 6’Barleymower wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:57 pm My daughter tells me that body shaming is a big thing among the girls "You can't say that it's body shaming!"

Coder noticed it first. Saying perhaps they could they could pair off with action hero's. He he.
Carl, you read my mind. I said almost exactly that. With a roughly 50/50 split, a lot of women will have cats if they can't settle for someone under 6'.
