Does Height Actually Matter In Dating?

Description

Height is something you (mostly) can’t change, and yet it’s one of the most contentious dating preferences - we’re lying about it on the apps, rejecting lovers if they don’t measure up and even turning it into a full-blown personality trait. In this episode with special cohost Blake Pavey, we’re unpacking how height is affecting your love life, where this tall tale of height superiority is coming from and whether it’s as big a dealbreaker as society would like us to think.

Back to comment again, ironic that both regular hosts have a height fetish, a great personality trait you share with corporate board rooms, yikes.
