If, as a man, you’ve ever wondered how to date a woman who is taller than you, today is your lucky day. I’m going to share some tips helpfully laid out by the website wiki-How: first, make peace with the fact she’s taller, but you must never bring this up (unless she does).

This article is a reminder that in the game of love, it pays to be a taller man. After all, the long-running ideal for a good looking man is “tall, dark, and handsome”; taller men report receiving more matches on dating apps than their shorter peers.

Yet thanks to a movement dubbed the “Short King” era, driven by appreciation for Hollywood stars like Tom Holland who are shorter in stature, folks have started to confront their prejudice about height when dating men.
