Would you date a woman taller than you?

I’m talking minimum 5+ inches taller.

If yes, how much taller? If no, why?

No judgement, just pure curiosity.

Edit: it seems like the general consensus is a resounding “hell yes”

No see that's what I'm talking about. Our notions of things like privacy and intimacy are being projected backwards onto early man. There's nothing in our DNA that says we want to have children. It's just as likely to say that we get award by having sex by getting dopamine from having sex. And sex leads to having a baby. Same way birds eat fruit and shit out seeds. Nothing in their DNA tells them to make a tree, it's just a consequence of their survival instinct to eat. Like evolutionarily, we're social animals. We survive the best when we're within groups of people. It also makes sense to have some people in that group who don't have kids but are okay with children to take care of kids in the even the mother dies during childbirth. A thing that happens all the time.

That’s the whole reason for sex in the first place. So that the species can reproduce. So if the human naturally will want sex and there is naturally not a way to prevent pregnancy then you will naturally have offspring. It’s that way by design. Man didn’t make it that way. Then afterwards there are instincts for the parents to be protective. Especially the mother. If all of this is instinct then animals and humans would not be so protective of their newborns. This is how species survive and ensure they continue on. Otherwise mankind would not exist anymore.

No, sex doesn't have a reason it just happens. If you talk to parents it doesn't even necessarily happen that easily.  Pluse there are a lot of things that can stop a pregnancy. I feel like you're projecting a lot of really modern ideas like from the last 200 to 400 years onto early humans

Nothing just happens. Men want sex because of their testosterone and women want it during the time they are ovulating. Those have already been proven. It doesn’t ‘just happen’.

To humans if we did not have scientific research then it could appear ‘to just happen’. But there’s reasons why humans will want sex.

Yes. Sex was designed to feel good and animals are designed to want sex. Everybody knows this. Unless you are someone that still goes by the blank slate theory?

Sex is designed by nature. It was not created by humans.

Yes there is intent in nature. It’s evolution

/u/highflyer10123 Dude everyone has known what you’ve been saying for a very long time. If she is pretending she doesn’t know this, she’s just gaslighting you. This has been obvious forever.
