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.
