‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8: Should Height Matter in a Relationship?

Here’s a summary of this article I contributed to. Read the full article on SELF.

• Love Is Blind Season 8 explores the role of height in dating, with contestant Daniel Hastings sharing how his 5'8" stature has made finding a partner difficult.

• Height preferences often stem from societal norms, like the belief that men should be taller, with taller men seen as more masculine and protective.

• Physical attraction plays a role in relationships, but being overly focused on height or appearance can lead to missed connections and self-sabotaging behaviors.

• Emotional intimacy can increase attraction over time, making initial physical preferences less significant as a relationship deepens.

• Being open to partners outside of your "type" can create opportunities for meaningful, lasting connections.

• While attraction matters, rigid height preferences can result in overlooking red flags or dismissing compatible partners for superficial reasons.

• Ultimately, physical features change over time, but qualities like emotional connection, kindness, and mutual understanding are the foundation of a strong relationship.
