Mike is joined by dating coach Karina Chapman, founder of Aligned Connections, to chat about her experience watching the new film Materialists.

While she expected to assess the matchmaking angle, Karina and her friends ended up discussing a surprising subtheme—height.

In the movie, two wealthy brothers undergo leg-lengthening surgery to boost their dating and business prospects.

It’s a real-world issue too. Tinder recently added a height preference feature, sparking backlash—especially from shorter men who already feel judged.

Karina says whether you’re a short guy or a tall girl, focusing too much on height can cause you to overlook a truly great match.
