A video of a woman measuring men's heights at a bar has gone viral on X, formerly Twitter, leaving viewers split over whether the idea is clever or just petty.
The video posted by @NoCapFights is captioned:
"Bringing measuring tape to a bar is wild 💀"
In the post, a woman can be seen measuring the height of a man, and then—judging by his smile of relief and her head nod—letting him know he passed her test.
The 9-second video has already been viewed more than 26.9 million times.
You can watch below.
Reactions from viewers are all over the board, from impressed to stunned to disturbed.
Some argued that size really does matter and that bringing your own tap measure to a bar is fool-proof.
And others hilariously shared the measuring devices they would bring to a bar to find the right partner.
It seems that as of late, height has been a topic of conversation surrounding dating.
From Reddit to TikTok to YouTube, men are wondering why women are obsessed with dating men who are taller than six feet.
The question has then evolved: is it a biological or societal matter?
Avigail Lev, founder, and director of the Bay Area CBT Center in San Francisco, said:
“Distinguishing between nature and nurture is extremely difficult in many areas, so we don’t know for sure what is more biological versus what is more of a societal influence."
“Evolutionary or biological models would say that height is linked to health and strength in a mate or that, sociologically speaking, it is linked to strength, power, the ability to provide and be strong."
“But we also don’t know how much of this is biological versus societal versus epigenetic.”
One thing we do know, though, is that the woman in the video is serious about it.
