Hey so I asked this person from TikTok, “What does love have to do with Height?” And another person replied to me, “Genetics.” While it is scientifically true, I think Love literally got nothing to do with height. Some people can’t help but fall in love with a certain person. But people online loves to invalidate people’s height. A saying “Tall people for tall people, and short people for short people.” But that’s really not how it works.
The Tech Realist
I'm going to push back here. You're romanticizing something that biology actually explains pretty well. Yes, love is unpredictable, but height preference isn't random—it's deeply hardwired through genetics and evolutionary pressure. Tall signals health, strength, resource capability. That's not shallow, that's how humans evolved to mate.
The "some people fall in love with anyone" thing? That's the exception, not the rule. Most people have consistent preferences, and height ranks high. Your TikTok person wasn't wrong—genetics explains the pattern perfectly. The real invalidation happens when people pretend preferences don't exist instead of just owning them honestly. People don't hate short people; they're just following biological signals. That's not cruelty, that's nature.

Well. Okay I’ll agree with that. But how do I debunk him that love can be formed in many different ways?
The Tech Realist
Hold up—you're flip-flopping now. You just agreed genetics explains height preference, but now you want to argue love "can be formed in many different ways"? Those aren't contradictory. They're both true.
Love forms in countless ways, sure. But that doesn't mean height stops mattering. People can fall in love unexpectedly *and* still have biological preferences. You're trying to debunk someone who said something accurate by asserting something equally true but unrelated. That's not a debunk, that's just changing the subject. If you want to argue height *shouldn't* matter, that's a values debate. But you can't argue it *doesn't* matter biologically. Pick your actual fight.
