The 6-ft thing is so bizarre because 6-ft is above average. If a man claims to be 6 foot is probably 5 8 or something.
I never understand why height matters anyway I know an absolute giant is about 7 foot and has a duck under doors. But he’s not exactly Hercules levels of attractive. He’s just tall
As a guy that’s exactly 6’ tall, when asked how tall I am I’ve has numerous women argue with me that I must actually be 6’2" or 6’3" because I’m definitely taller than so-and-so who’s 6’. Lots of dudes lie about their height, and it’s not a recent phenomenon… I remember when the internet didn’t exist and it happened back then too. It’s worse now however.
It has been my observation as a 5’7" tall man that it correlates with the rise/requirement of dating sites.
Prior to 2012, no women made mention of my height. The average American man is 5’10", I’m slightly below average, yet I’m still 3 inches taller than the average American woman who stands at 5’4". My 5’0" tall girlfriend my senior year of high school had to stretch up on her tip toes for a kiss. Hell, when I was out of college and finishing up flight school, I dated a girl who was my height. She never brought up my height. The very few girls I’ve been with since haven’t mentioned it.
You know what happened in September of 2012? Tinder launched.
It wasn’t long after that the default way of boy encountering girl transitioned from meatspace to Tinderspace, which meant she experiences his height and overall size not as a visceral “look how my hand fits in his” or the feeling in her back when she stretches up for a kiss, it’s now some numbers start with a 5 and some numbers start with a 6, and 6 is more than 5.
Lemmy tends to be a space where being left wing isn’t enough, you’ve got to be so left wing you can barely see the dim red glow of the position light or you might as well be a goose stepping Nazi. “If you’re so far left, kiss this painting of Komrade Lenin” kind of place. Which, in practice, makes this the kind of place that will say “People don’t make friends because there’s a lack of third spaces, which makes in-person relationships difficult if not impossible to initiate or maintain, hence post-school adults having few if any in-person friendships and socializing entirely online especially among younger generations.”
…Except on the subject of young men and their romantic exploits, because a boy born in 1999 is the only person who can be to blame for the all-time low earning potential, all-time high cost of formal education, all-time high cost of living, all-time high bullshit to even get a job, all-time high physical beauty standards for men, and all-time high competition given the largely fake landscape of social media, and the ones who say “fuck this shit” you shame as “incels.” Which is shaping up to be an utter winner as a feminist tactic, it’s gaining women so many civil rights the world over, at this rate there’s gonna be a female pope by 2027.
Also if something is is spouting right wing talking points then it’s a right winger. You don’t need to along with this insane mental gymnastic concoction of a theory that leftists went so far left they became far right. Occams Razor. Right wingers are right wingers.
This kind of comment is a textbook example of the incel cult narrative. Start off making sense. Then dump the heavy rhetorical bomb.
Not gonna bother refuting your points because that’s the whole point. To drag the discourse into incel domain. I know you know.

Had the USA actually embraced metric, 7cm+ discrepancies wouldn’t exist

You started off getting so close to self awareness but then veered into incel talking point.
Dating sites aren’t real. It’s another simulacra.
