Is this a sign of being superficial?

I noticed on a few Indian women online dating profiles before.

That they requested on their bio that the man has to be 6ft tall and only 6ft tall men to message them

Or is this normal?

As you get older I'm sure intelligence, maturity, depth is valued

I never understood why people do it though, especially if you're a short woman. It's quite common for alot of women to do that, no matter the race - not just an Indian thing. Idk how old you are but I'm 20 and I know loads of girls who want a tall bf too so I guess it is normal.

Guys...

You don't understand that on online dating profiles, girls get literally hundreds of "hits" every day from horny or desperate men (and I'm talking about the distinctively average looking girls, here). For the record, I'm also a guy, so I don't know this for a fact, but I honestly believe that the whole 6 foot malarkey is just a way for them to get the numbers down to a manageable level. Kinda the equivalent of the 2:1 rule for graduate job applications (if you catch my drift).

I can't comment specifically about Asian women, but (in general), if you want to get around it, then I have two suggestions:-

•

1) Look at the other things that are commonly asked for on dating profiles (particularly on the kind of girls you like), and work towards emphasising those attributes on your profile

•

2) Improve yourself as best you can with respect to looks, personality, status etc. and look towards meeting women in real life in more traditional settings (e.g. pub/club, evening classes etc.).

I totally agree with what your saying. But I wouldn't say its to get the numbers down to a manageable level because if that was the case, there are many things girls can do to narrow the selection down. Loads of girls just want a height difference but yes I agree with your suggestions to get around it.

Yes, there are a lot of things that could (potentially) be used... but the majority of guys can (and will) spin a certain amount of BS to get their foot in the door. A lot of these things won't necessarily be obvious from the get-go, and may take time for someone to find out... but height is the one thing you can't hide from or disguise, and it would be immediately evident from the first meeting IRL if someone was telling porkies about it.

Yes, a lot of women may want a height difference, but it's generally more arbitrary, rather than specifically specifying 6'; for example, typically, as long as the guy is taller than she is in high heels, most girls are relatively happy... translating into the bigger picture, most fully grown adult males who are AT LEAST about 5'8" shouldn't have too many problems height-wise. I'm talking about the 6' threshold is often used as a filter (either that, or the girl is fairly tall herself).
