Are you smoking crack? Two different angles. He was talking about compatability (he is tall) where as short(er) women with extreme height requirements are no different than guys with large breast requirements ("36 double D"). But hey, at least women can buy breasts...guys are pretty much stuck with the height they are given at birth.
Yes, I'm smoking crack. That must explain it.
I don't see the difference. Why would he not be compatible with someone short? I also don't think that 6' is an extreme height requirement. I think having any height requirement is kind of silly - but I don't see a difference between a 5'4" woman having a preference for a tall man any different than a tall man not wanting to be with someone 5'4".
My dad was over six feet and my mom was under five feet. They were married for over 30 years - so I fail to see how their heights made them incompatible!

Make up your mind...is a 6 ft. height requirement extreme or not? The average male height in the USA is 5 ft 9 inches.

Make up my mind about what?
I don't think that 6' is an extreme height. When I meet people who are 6', I don't consider them extremely tall. My quick search said that the average male height in the USA is 5'9 1/2" to 5'10". I don't consider preferring someone a couple inches over the average to be extreme.
Actually, white (non-Hispanic) guys under the ages of 35 are even BIGGER offenders of homogeny, regardless of status, finances, etc. They do not budge from their "white only" restrictions unless they've had ZERO success in many years.

Even her husband can't seem to be faithful to her.
So you are calling one lady a skank because she is 100% black and the other desirable b/c she is half white. Please take your stereotypes to the next KKK meeting. They are both hot.

His requirement is about being compatible (tall with tall)...while her demand is a fetish.
Short women (and 5-4 is below average) who demand men who are above average and 6-0 is above average, are no different than a fat/out of shape guy who says, "A 36 double DD breast or no go for me."
Again, nothing wrong with a tall guy falling in love with a short woman or vice versa...but the absolute requirement for these traits is the ridiculous part.

Why is a tall person incompatible with a short person? You think wanting someone of a certain height is a fetish? That's odd.
You can keep trying to explain it - but your breast/fat guy analogy isn't in the same vein. We just see things differently. I just think it's funny that it's okay for a tall guy to have a height requirement because it makes sense to you somehow but it's not okay for a short woman to have a height requirement because you see it as a fetish.

White men and women in general tend to very strongly prefer their own, although you've correctly pointed out that white women tend to have stronger preferences in this matter. So in a sense you're both correct - hellokittykatt was talking about men while you were talking about women.
However, it's worth noting that OKCupid's data indicates that Hispanic and Asian women exhibit much the same behavior.
So, it's weird that someone 5'4" wants someone your height but it's not weird that you can't be with someone 5'4"?
Yes. It's not like we are talking about a couple inches here. We are talking about 8" and a below average girl wanting an above average guy (height). Now, maybe the girl likes to wear high heels much of the time, but I don't see too many girls wearing heels taller than 2-3". Call me lazy, but I prefer to just bend down a couple of inches to kiss a girl.
I can understand a blue eyed girl wanting someone with blue eyes, or a girl with a degree wanting someone with a degree, a white girl wanting a white guy, or an athletic girl wanting an athletic guy, but not a short girl wanting a tall guy. We aren't even talking about wanting a taller guy, but a guy taller than 90% of men.. This would be like a girl (or guy) wanting a person making $150K (90th percentile).
I don't think that 6' is an extreme height. When I meet people who are 6', I don't consider them extremely tall. My quick search said that the average male height in the USA is 5'9 1/2" to 5'10". I don't consider preferring someone a couple inches over the average to be extreme.
It depends on race and age as well. The median height for white men is about 5'8.5", but that starts to shrink after age 40 or 50.

I don't have to post any data. It's observational, JUST LIKE YOU'VE OBSERVED ONE HISPANIC CHICK WANTING DUDES WHO IS NOT YOU. Have you read a bunch of guy's profiles?! In a lot of areas, esp. areas where there's more white people, you're going to see a lot of profiles that will state that they want someone WHITE only. In places were there's a lot more hispanic people, you're probably going to see more hispanic people in demand. It all depends on the location and what's more populous because that's what's going to been more often and more exposure to something = ease and comfort.
Okcupid only took a small sample for the data so it's not really a "study." All it points out that at least on okcupid that it seems like white guys are in demand by all chicks and white guys won't respond to anyone. Ok, so I guess that proves white guys would be called snobs.

If you think they're both hot then that's your opinion but it's NOT a factual statement. I swear, you are one of the most angry and f*cking rude persons on this forum that is full of awfulness lately. You keep making a big deal about how you're white and non hispanic and open minded and all that pc bullsh*t and now you're telling me, a NON WHITE person to go to a KKK meeting?! F*ck you and your insecurities. You know why a lot of non white chicks don't like white guys? Because angry pc white dudes like your are boiling with rage that white chicks rejected you and now you spin it around like you're so awesome and so open minded because you'd bang anyone that's not white. Well la di dah for whiny, privileged, self-entitled white d*cks trying to get some exotic tail.
I never said Beyonce is a skank. If I thought she's a skank, I would have said it. I pointed out that the REAL reason why Halle Berry attracts a lot of white guys who would think she's beautiful is because she has white features. That is NOT a lie. Anthropological studies show that people are generally attracted/drawn to those who look like they could be from the same tribe as them because it's rooted in survival- recognition of similarity will earn trust faster which would lead to sharing of resources, etc. It is easier for white guys to be more attracted to Halle Berry than to Beyonce.
