she wouldn't allow Kody to walk her down the aisle. She rejected Kody's request, saying that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to do so.

In recent years, Meri has transformed herself into a bold and courageous woman who isn't afraid to speak the truth.

Recently, she appeared in an interview with Parade Magazine, where she discussed her dream man, indirectly making fun of Kody's appearance. The interviewer asked Meri about the "kind of guy" she was looking for. Meri answered, "somebody who's independent, somebody who can treat me with kindness and honesty and respect, who can meet my energy." She also mentioned that she would prefer "a tall guy," implying that Kody didn't meet that criteria. Though Meri didn't directly mock Kody's appearance, it seemed like she was suggesting that she no longer wanted a shorter man.

What Meri's Preferences In Men Mean For Her Future Relationship

Meri Is No Longer Willing To Compromise In Relationships

It's impressive to watch Meri finally expressing her preferences instead of sacrificing her needs for another man. The Sister Wives cast member spent thirty years of her life building a polygamous paradise with her former husband, Kody. She did everything he asked, including allowing him to invite other women into their family so he could have children with them. Meri even divorced Kody and allowed him to legally marry his fourth wife, Robyn, and adopt her children from a previous marriage. Unfortunately, in return, she never received the love and respect she deserved for all her sacrifices.

Meri's recent preference for men shows that she has undergone a significant transformation. She is no longer willing to waste her time in an unhealthy relationship. Instead, the single mother is looking to create a life with someone who complements her stature, is caring, and matches her energy. Meri's recent statement confirms that she isn't desperate to rush into a new relationship. The Sister Wives star has other priorities, such as her business and her dog, Zona. Therefore, she will likely take time to find the perfect soulmate for her.

Our Take On Meri Throwing Shade At Kody's Height

Meri Isn't Hesitating In Expressing Her Preferences In A Partner

It's understandable for Meri to criticize Kody because he has treated her poorly in the past. Throughout the years, the polygamous patriarch has belittled his other wives and favored his fourth wife, Robyn. Kody has also made demeaning comments about Meri, Janelle, and Christine's appearances and shown disrespect through his actions. Kody even suggested to Meri that she should move to his barn, implying that he saw her as less than human. It's refreshing to see the Sister Wives cast member openly express her standards in men and state that she prefers taller men, suggesting that Kody was too short for her.

Sister Wives season 19 airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
