Boy, Bye!: 6 Stupid Reasons to Turn a Man Down

2. He’s Not Over 6 Foot

Have you ever seen the show, “Tough Love”? Essentially, it centers around a male matchmaker trying to help women explore their issues and get rid of their baggage so they can start to date healthily and potentially find love. One evening Steve, the host and matchmaker, asked the ladies to make a list of all the characteristics they wanted in a man. Inevitably, one of the women wrote that her man had to be over six feet tall. Steve then took the women into a room full of 100 men. When the women read off their qualifications, all of the men who didn’t meet them sat down. When baby girl read the six-foot rule, she was surprised to see how many men sat down, making her viable dating pool smaller than it needed to be. Turns out ladies, only 14.5 percent of American men are six feet and over. Sure you can find him, but it might take a while. And again, just because he’s tall doesn’t mean he can’t be a douche.
