The height infatuation (female) and associated height insecurity (male) thing is getting out of hand in the dating/social scene. I'm 6'4 and whenever I go out to a bar or similar, *every* female gives me the look, which is flattering, but the males they're with or around also see it and see me and go into some kind of collective "oh shit! red alert!" mode. I then spend the rest of my time there fending off the males trying to distract me and practically ring-fencing me away from the females. Do they think I'm going to leave with all the females like I'm a pimp amassing a hoe train or something? I always knew that height mattered to some extent in dating/social but it's gone so "viral" now that it's becoming more of a burden than an asset to be the tallest male in the room. It reminds me of the african videos of the pack of hyenas trying to distract the alpha lion away from the fresh kill.
