And look, I can tell you that when we look at what people like speed dating, so we're still talking about first impressions, but at least you're there interacting face to face.

Are the women all going for the tall guys?

Not really.

There's a tiny preference for height, but you would need like a foot and a half difference in order to see it.

So at that first impression face to face context,

Height barely matters at all, but we get really bent out of shape about it when it's online.

I mean, spoiler for materialists, that's like one of the huge subplots of the movie is that the guy was short, but then he like added some inches to his legs and then became much more desirable.

This is a complete misunderstanding of what happens when people are actually interacting.

It's terrifying.

But I want to just point out, I think you identified the real superpower in there.

which is your ability to have people say this to you and then to say, well, am I supposed to care about this?

I'm not a dating coach.

But if I were, I think I would start with that because I think so much of what men and women, I'm sure, too, are experiencing out there

Are these like weird pressures where online life is like sneaking in to our offline life and getting us to worry about things that we never would have worried about before?

And when we're interacting with other people face to face, we tend to focus on the right things.

We focus on how do I feel around this person?

Am I laughing?

Yeah, right.

Does she seem exciting and tell engaging stories?

But also, how do I feel about myself?
