I know, it's a joke. I'm 6'2" and I find it laughable that a 5'2" girl demands someone close to my height. Hon, your vertically challenged. You demanding a 6 footer is laughable.
I suppose it's biology for some. The biggest, strongest guys rule the roost and the world. Obviously dictators in history have debunked that stance but still...

As if you haven't already heard why, they explain in the statement itself; You can a lot about tell how a man is going to treat his woman by the way he treats his mom. However, as often as I've heard that, I don't think it's necessarily true. And I never heard it as a requirement.

I'm 5'1" and I can't even count how many very tall men have tried to date me. I think many, if not most, tall men find short women cute or we make them feel taller or something. Whatever the reason, they seem to be very attracted to many of us. But more often than not, I choose someone who's 5'6" to about 5'8". Not on purpose. It just so happens the personalities I like are wrapped in shorter men.
I've known a lot of men who check out the female's mother to see if it "exploded." Also, known a few who "passed" noticing a potential partner's mother being excessively overweight and out of shape. Doesn't seem fair, but maybe it's an attempt at trying to figure out how much "self-respect" a female has.
I think that using preexisting relationships with parents is a good way to measure someones ability to respect the other sex. However there are exceptions to this rule since not all parents are respectable people themselves.
I have been married twice. First husband did not have a respectful relationship with his mother, and therefore did not have one with me. Second husband loved and respected his mother, and is the same way with me.
A man's relationship with his mother, in my experience, is a true indicator of how he will treat his wife.
There might be something to it. My husband never was close with his mom and I didn't see any sort of personal connection. There was no obvious problem, he just seemed disinterested and she didn't seem to mind. He didn't have a close, personal connection with either of our kids and eventually he didn't have one with me either. Looking back I can almost see there, staring me in the face, but when you are busy living life you can often miss whats right in front of you.
Most kids learn by what they see. That's why it's important especially for boys to have a strong father figure. If Dad has issues them most likly the sons will to unless someone intervenes. Then of course there are exceptions. Women are basically nesters at their core so that might be why they have that expectation. If a man cusses out his mother and sisters then how will he treat her and the kids in all probability?
Myself I have expectations for women. The big thing is cooking. If the woman can't cook she's not for me. There's a difference between can't and won't. So it works both way..
