Super tall girls and highly educated women have this one disadvantage [Editor's Opinion]

Super tall girls and highly educated women have this one disadvantage against them and it is rooted in nature according to psychologists.

Very educated woman

It is conceivable that you have already figured it out, but what is the harm in saying it straight? These two categories of women find it super hard to find love. They are the equivalent of short, bald men when it comes to love in that they fight harder to find love in comparison.

There is a term called assortative mating in evolutionary theory which refers to a mechanism that drives mate-choice. One of the mating cues in assortative mating is height. So it is not that girls want men that are six feet or taller, but it is because women are more attracted to men who are taller than them.

However, when a woman is as tall as 6'2 or 6'5, the number of men that are taller than her shrinks considerably. On one part, she is not too enthusiastic about the shorter men in her circles because fewer women want to date a man who is shorter than her, and on another part, the shorter men aren't too enthusiastic about her either.

Super educated women have the same exact problem. The more educated a woman gets, the smaller her marriage prospects get because the more educate a woman is, the more likely she is to seek out a high status male and therefore, the more sofisticated a woman gets, there are just fewer men that are as highly educated as her.

But that is one-sided, you say. Well, not really. Men are intimidated by both categories of women. A chick that is taller than a man or more educated than him or more intelligent than him tends to make a man feel that they are not man enough; not because the man is cheap or insecure, but because by nature, men want to be dominant.

While a short bald man could be redeemed by wealth, a super tall chick and a super educated woman don't have as much of a straightforward redemption. They are more doomed to a life of solitude than not. It's just science
