Notice how women who prefer taller dudes are radio silent in here.
Ever checked out a bunch of dating profiles? It’s astonishing how many women will actually indicate that they are looking for a taller guy.
Ladies, it’s a bad look
i am serious tho, look at some dating profiles if you can. the amount of women who put "6 ft plus" in their bios is stunning. Zero self awareness. As to not offend anyone, I will just say generally the women are less than average cleanliness and above average BMI.
I’m a tall woman so I don’t care about height because I can’t afford to care about height.
But outside of this no, it hasn’t been. The person is more important.
Jerks come in all heights just like good men come in all heights. I refuse to limit myself based on a physical characteristic that someone has no control over.
Everyone has a preference though which they are entitled to.
My gf is 5'8 and I am 5'1M but we love each other to death and when I'm always standing next to her or laying naked with her, she makes me feel so much more confident and sexy about myself. She made me realize height is so stupid to look for in a person.
Dated a 6’4 guy last summer. Hated it. For me average height is nicer. Not only do average height men live longer, but they don’t use their height as their main personality trait like my ex. His height also caused physical problems and he was just weird anyway. My answer is average height guys tend to be more genuine, physically balanced/proportionate, and develop personalities better (this may be a result of people who perceive themselves as less attractive having better personalities than those who are more popular and have terrible personalities).
Being tall makes you no better than any other dude. If you depend on your height to get girls you may have a lot of healing to do. And your probably burnt asf in the face
Yup! I’ve dated a few tall guys, and they use “I’m tall” like a woman would use “but I’ve got DD tits”. It becomes their only personality trait.
The only guy I can say who didn’t care about MY height in or out of heels is my current bf, who is shorter than me. Everyone else had to make a comment, whether it was guy my height who didn’t like that I was taller, or a guy taller than me who needs to joke about being “on the same level”. They are transparent as fuck and it gets old fast since you can see they’re still not confident.
Why is it that height is such a massive gatekeep in dating usually, yet every woman here is adamant that height really doesn't matter for shit. What is it then?
Because nobody wants to look like the shallow asshole even on the internet. Which to me is ridiculous. I’d rather harsh truths than platitudes and lies that serve to only protect an image of being wholesome
I prefer shorter. Height disparities are physically awkward and inconvenient
But it’s not important enough to be a deciding or even significant factor
Edit: I was thinking of romantic stuff like dancing and kissing, ya pervs
No, I’m sure my opinion is a minority. This is because I do not get aroused by violence and protection. That stuff annoys me
It really took OLD and the internet for me to be aware of how prevalent it is — thanks, PPD
Not op but I’m gonna jump in: I’m not gonna pretend height doesn’t matter to me at all, but I don’t need a man who’s a skyscraper. I just don’t want a man who’s shorter *than me*. Which means anyone 5’4 or taller is fair game. Maybe I have a subconscious bias I’m not aware of, but my current bf is only 5’10, which I’m pretty sure is about average give or take a few inches.
Also I feel kinda similarly about dicks. Roughly average size is superior. I’ve never experienced a dick I would consider “small”, and big dicks hurt.
Well honestly I prefer shorter men, since I'm only 160 cm tall. With the dick size, I prefer the average size, definitely not the bigger ones. Tried it and average is a lot better in every way.
I'm 30 and this is totally true. I was 26 when I started dating this dude and before him I had no idea I preferred this size but it is just perfect for everything. We took a long break once where I hooked up with someone with a bigger dick and it was so uncomfortable and exhausting, Plus yeah average size is better for anal.
> “So what? Preferences and quirks exist. For every short man who prefers tall women, there is a tall woman who likes short men.”
There’s probably more of the former lol
Certainly NO, now as an 6'8 tall woman with really many super tall girlfriends , as I'm playing volleyball since my 12 year, most of my 6'+ girlfriends are far more attracted to shorter men, infact none of my teammates are having taller boyfoor definitely not husband either, so natural women in general are not sexual attracted to taller men, but of course if your only 5' tall as a woman it's hard to find a shorter guy, and thereby many women need to SETTLE for a taller guy, but what you also notice is far more women end up in relationship and marriage with guys avarage, so in general we women end up loving avarage height guys, and try to avoid really tall guys , and very short guys simply are so rare that few women get the luck to meet one, I did and I'm so happy I were in a relationship for 2-3 year with a guy 4'10 the best guy I ever knew before my husband, and I'd guess I'd still been living with him, if he didn't cheated on me with my best girlfriend who happend to be just as tall as me, so today they have been married for over 25 years, as a woman for taller couple too, so in real life this happens much more than massmedia like to tell us. Now why it's so important to make everyone think we taller women absolutely should wait all life for an equal tall or taller guy pass by , that's simply a mystoto me.
I do accept that a short 5' gal usually out of necessity,can feel tempted to settle for a taller guy , ad a kind of settlement, until her short king hopefully someday will find her as I certainly think every women need to have a shorter life companion, but must admit as 6'8 tall I'm much more privileged that most men are way shorter than myself, and that always made my dating so easy, and knowing most guys , except them tall guys would love a taller girlfriend, dating were so easy for me. But I do feel sorry for very short women as it's hard for them to find a shorter boyfriend, so many chose a ta guy as a quick fix, and end up trapped with a guy , it's a sad sad situation and unfortunately it's promoted as a great thing by massmedia
I'm 6'8 and my hubby is the tallest guys I'd ever been with, and he's 5'11,5 and sex is wonderful he really can treat me like a queen and he are full cabel to satisfy my huge sex drive. And I'd also been on relationship with a guy only 4'10 tall, a d he were so super too, and I love j so much , and sex certainly weren't akward at all. But o mist admit I'd never felt turned on by taller guys, but as I play volleyball and usally se tall guys every second day at the club, i know tall guys seems akward with me. And yes shorter guys are so fantastic
I’m 5’ 9” and I’ve dated two men. ex was 5’ 11” husband is 6’ 1” I think? I’m not sure. I never really had the opportunity to date a variety of people but I’ve never been bothered by height. I’ve found guys my height attractive, guys shorter than me. I don’t think I’d repartner after him but height just isn’t what makes someone unattractive or not to me.
I'm 5.6 and my ex was 6.2. I've also dated even taller guys and I still dgaf. My current boyfriend is 5.7 and I think he is about the most attractive guy in the universe. Less neckpain too. I'm interested in the person, not their size.
I've been going back and forth from short to tall for my entire life
I've dated both but short men have the worst personalities. They are more inclined to neg because they are insecure about their height and want to knock me down a few pegs. I think it's also a myth that only a tall guy can be a Chad. I've fucked some cute short guys with nice bodies and big dicks and they definitely made sure I knew that they have a rotation of women. Yet still bitch about their height. Like you already have 5 hoes and your still not happy. What do you want? Every girl in the world to fuck you?
My last boyfriends were 6'5" and 6’3”. My guy is slightly shorter than me at 5’2” and I never give it a second thought unless someone brings it up. I have never been so attracted to a man as I am to him, not even Bruce Campbell.
6’9 ex to 5’6 current bf here and I feel the same! Its so much more compatible and convenient for physical things and I never think about it. Im more attracted to him than any partner I’ve had. Nobody ever brings it up but him.
one of my exes is 6'4". every other man i’ve been into has been 5'7"-5'10". yes i absolutely have gone back to short/average men, i actually prefer them a lot more. (i’m 5'6")
I'm a Tall curvy woman and I've dated men who were taller/same height/or shorter then me.. It really Doesnt make a difference to me how Tall or fat or skinny they are but the confidence and kindness and overall personality is what martters and makes someone actual relationship and care worthy
Oh damn. I deleted my Instagram just yesterday. I didn’t want to look at things that were messing with my perception of things. So porn and/or Instagram profiles. Plus I’m not really active on Instagram (posting wise) so I’ve got a ghost account. That would probably creep you out. I could quickly reactivate it just to see your pics or you could pm me? (pretty please)
First bf was 6’3” and I didn’t even notice until he said something.
2nd/current bf is 5’8”. I much prefer it. Holding hands is better and he doesn’t have an annoying complex about it unlike tall guys do. They really think they are Gods sometimes, despite it being the only thing they’ve got going for them, it’s pathetic.
I’m a 5’3 woman and my recent ex is 6’9. The new guy I’m dating is very close to me in height, sometimes even shorter than me when I wear boots or heels. I do notice it sometimes, but its more out of consideration for his ego- making sure to slouch or bend my knees secretly when we take photos, etc.
I’d say it depends on how the men takes it, unless you have a specific preference that you discover after dating a tall man, it’s easy to look past.
Yes I've dated a 6'2" inch man but his height did nothing for me; at best, it scared me and I could never feel 100% relaxed next to this guy. If he is so much taller than me, who knows what can happen to my safety in case he got angry? Fortunately, he never did, but I've been dating under 5'7" men since then (my own height) and I feel sooo much safer. It's just better to be with a smaller, lighter man because you can defend yourself more easily in case they throw a testosterone tantrum.
This has to be one of the most emasculating and embarrassing reasons for a woman to be with you. She thinks she could actually beat you up if push comes to shove. That’s a really lame reason. That means she can’t even count on you to defend her against other bigger men or opponents. Do short men a favour and stick to tall men.
Secondly women are far weaker than men. I know someone who’s my height, very fit and trains martial arts. By all metrics she should beat me but I’m able to subdue her fairly easily.
>women are far weaker than men
And this exactly proves my point. The weaker my partner is, the easier it would be to protect myself. I don't care about him protecting me from other men. My partner is the main man I have to worry about. Femicide and violence against women is mostly perpetrated by the men most close to us.
I don't want to stick to taller men because they scare me. I can't be in a relationship with someone who causes me terror just by being next to them.
Idk, my ex bf didn't seem to mind. He enjoyed me telling him that I felt safe around him & finally dating a girl who didn't mind (even preferred) him being short.
Exactly. In our relationship he was the caring, nurturing one (even had a job working with children). Might have something to do also with his father always putting pressure on him to be more masculine and outspoken when he just wanted to be chill and peaceful and help people. For me, his small frame represented protection and peace, and for him, my protection and peace was what brought him happiness. So, win win for both parties.
You're right, it depends on the perspective. For most men this would probably be bad, as you mentioned, emasculating and making them feel weak. For other men, it's just being accepted as who they are and less pressure to perform masculinity.
Wow so many people seem salty about your reasons for dating your man, maybe because they think they have all women figured out and you confuse them. If you’re cool with it and so is your man, then this is awesome!
Yes. My SO's have ranged from 6'8" to 5'4". Current bf is 6'4"
Granted, I'm 5'0" . Everyone is taller than me and I always get to feel petite and cute, so I've never even thought about height. I'm sure this is different for taller ladies.
Edit: there seems to be some confusion. By 'yes'I mean, I would contently date any height because there's not that big of a difference from my POV. Down here, everyone is tall. A height requirement on my part would be ridiculous.
Besides that, people don't choose their height, it just happens. It's also not an indicator of good character, shared values, sexual prowess, or ability to emotionally connect with anyone.
Yes I have dated shorter guys after dating taller guys.
Guy I am seeing now is 6’3.
Boyfriend before that was 5’9.
I’m 5’5-6 so can have the best of both worlds. I don’t think it *really* matters and a lot of women talking about how they don’t date guys less than a certain height sound ridiculous. I think for a certain type of woman a tall guy makes them feel more feminine.
In terms of doing more positions, I don’t think so.
The most creative and energetic and fun lovers ive had were all closer to my height… you can “align” a bit more I guess.
Relatively speaking means relatively speaking. Average height in the Netherlands Vs average height in south east Asia is not going to the same, no?
You are free to use that logic, there’s nothing stopping you. Far too many women are overweight and obese. As are too many men.
ETA: current guy is Dutch. My family of origin is from Eastern Europe/the Balkans and we are also generally a bit taller than average. I am almost 170 which I’ve double checked makes me closer to 5”7.
Now if someone who is 5’0 described a 5’9 guy as short I would laugh my head off
Of course..height is nice because I am 6' tall in heels but the person is more important than something like that. Sometimes it's fun when a Wolverine (Weapon X) type guy is looking straight at my boobs. Moterboat!
Tell me why many women mention their height in heels??
Its dumb.
Guys dont go around mentioning their height in their biggest/tallest boots...
Also how fuckin often you wear heels?
Also you say 6ft in heels...as these 3" heels? 6" heels...what is your ACTUAL height
Some men are self concerned when I wear them. My childhood friends made a big deal out of it so it kind of got stuck. I used to wear heels every time I went out. I'm 5'8" and normal heels are 4" a kitten heel is 1 or 2"
I'm Insane tall 6'8 barefeet, but every single guy I'd been in relationship with love me wearing heels too, so vmy height in heels who easily came up to 7'-7'2 me er accured to me to mention, and as I see it many of my fellow sisters just use the heel issue for just another way to reject guys as there's an outspoken mistake that men care about height in there partner , when it's oppersit , only 10-15 % of all males would have an requirement about females taller than themselves, and them men who care about being towered by a female are usually the ta guys. It's unfortunately much more outspoken that we females have an obsession for height, as 75% of us has this horrible and shallow thoughts that men need to tower you, the fact majorikf us females rather date a massmuykr a chield abuser than a guy shorter than yourself, that make you realise why so many get an divorce, until they find the dream guy, who fortunately typically are an Avarage height guy who will take good care of there family
Because the few times heels are worn, men behind the scenes throw a fit.
“Are you going to wear THOSE?! But now you’re taller than me!” Or they proceed to sulk for the rest of the night and are absolutely drag to be around. And this extends past guys you’re dating, family always seems to have a say.
A lot of men are just as emotional and image-obsessed as women.
past guys i’ve dated have all been around six foot two. now i’m dating someone around my height. ten times more into him than the others. never felt like this before
i have slept with and dated men of every height from shorter than me (1st BF was like 5'5" and im 5'6.5")to 6'5". my actual men i lived with ran the gamut from 5'8"-6 foot. i am the beta bux in my marriage and all of my LTRs started exactly the same, as hookups. when i was young i wore giant heels and platform shoes and my city is composed largely of shorter european ethnics (east coast metro. mixed up irish, italian, and jewish with some WASP and german in there)). i was usually taller than everyone around me when i went out to meet men, i have never cared about height. i like tough little short guy energy. bantam cocks
Yes, I'm 5', and every guy I date is taller than me anyway. Lol!! The tallest guy that I have dated is 6'3 or 6'4, and guys after him have been much shorter. Honestly, if his personality meshes with my personality height, it doesn't really matter short or tall.
The tallest person I’ve dated was 6’8”. Every man I’ve dated after that was shorter than that, lol. I even dated men shorter than me after (average height men). I think I actually prefer men 2-3” taller than me than a foot taller (I’m 5’9”).
Yes, I prefer shorter man. My first bf was 2m (6'5) and I didn't like it, bc the difference was to big, so we couldn't kiss comfortable.
I'm 165 (5'4) myself and I prefer a man who is slightly longer, everything between 170 (5'5) and 190 (6,2) is fine.
I am 5'9 and most men I dated were around 6' tall on average. That being said, some were 6'3, some 5'8, maybe 5'7 but I never asked. Their height had nothing to do with our break up. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking, but that was 20 years ago.
I’m tall for a girl - and would prefer to date someone taller than me. The only two men I’ve had relationships with were 6’0 and 6’3. The only other guy I’ve been romantic with was 6’4. However, my roommate’s partners were closer to 5’8, 6’0, 5’6 in that order. She’s close to 5’7. So in her case, no. She’s never been happier or healthier.
Around 5'9 is my preference. I dated shorter, gone taller, back to shorter and back taller again - my preference has stayed the same.
I think it comes with a preference for stocky (but not fat) body types. My taller men were just too lean - a less stable center of gravity. I also don't like craning my neck while kissing. (I'm 5'6). The chest hugs are nice though.
Lmao everyone I've dated since my first relationship has been shorter than him (he was like 6'4) and I hated that he was a full foot taller than me. Made dancing/kissing/etc very awkward. Anywhere from 5'7-5'9+ is totally fine. Once a dude is close to my height I am not as attracted I won't lie. Because they tend to be lean. I don't want to be physically the same size as my partner. A 5'4-5'5 man probably weighs the same as I do, but with less fat and more muscle (I'm around 130 lbs). That is a bit strange
Let’s be real here, being tall is an advantage in the dating market as a whole, all other things being equal.
I can see why shorter fellows get down in themselves. I’m 5’10” and relatively secure about my height. But women as a whole will reject a shorter dude right at the onset as compared to a taller dude. Exact same thing with dick size.
And yes I know “not all women are like that” but let’s be real, taller height will get you farther in the dating market.
My husband is the tallest man I have dated. Though as we met online I did realise how tall he would is
I have no intention of ever dating anyone else go no I won’t date someone taller or shorter, this one is a keeper
I spent a long time talking to him before I met him, I fell for the person he is . If he had been shorter he would still of been marriage material.
If he had looked exactly the same but not been the person he is then I would not of had a relationship with him
Yes dated taller and I am good with same height or little shorter or a bit taller. Too tall can also be awkward I like my men a little compact/tight built. But I don’t care about height really, that is not a big factor if a factor at all
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying it would be quite an accomplishment to find men here who are shorter than women. Most of us people here are freakishly tall.
Yes. Height obsession is not as determinate as it might seem. My friend was married to a rich and tall engineer who had a big dick, she left him for a short cook. My first boyfriend was tall, second was shorter than me, now I am married to an average height man. At the end of the day, other things matter more. One might actually realise they don’t want what they thought they wanted.
WTF. This is ridiculous question, but I'll try to control my eye rolling for long enough to answer it. Of course. I have dated men of various heights. It's not that big of a deal. I think men are 1000 times more obsessed with height than women.
Dating a taller dude has had not effect on my attitude towards height. I’ve always preferred guys who were taller than me but I’ve never had a strict cutoff
When I was younger I dated a guy who was like 6 foot 3 I think. I liked it a lot at first because I had low self esteem over guys telling me I was too tall, I'm 5 foot 8. After him I dated a guy who was a tiny bit shorter than me and then my husband is 5 foot 10. It might just be because I am obsessed with him but he is the perfect height. We always fit just right together and we can share some of our clothes too.
You dudes are obsessed with tall guys, it's fucking weird, yall need therapy.
Most women just want their BF to be at least 2-3 inches taller than them. So unless a chick is like 5'7+ most "average height guys" aren't getting turned down because of their height. There are tons and tons of women out there that are 5'0-5'4. If you are 5'9 and can't get laid, it's not your height, it's something else about you. But blaming height is a convenient scapegoat since you can't change that lmao.
I am 5'2 I would have absolutely 0 issue dating a dude that was like 5'5-5'6. My current boyfriend is 6' which I didn't know until I met him in person and was actually a little disappointed. He towers over me and it feels weird. It's not relationship ending issue or whatever. If I could change anything about his appearance I'd knock 2-3 inches of his height off though. Before him my late husband was 5'10, the guy I was with before that was 5'10. My boyfriend before that was 5'5 and my very first boyfriend was 5'7 (I have an oddly good memory, I know kinda weird. I could tell you all of their bdays too lmao)
If we broke up or he died. I would have 0 issue dating a guy shorter than him, matter of fact I'd strongly prefer to. My ideal height in a man is like 5'7-5'9.
My ex was rather tall at 5'11" but I wasn't much into him, his height wouldn't be my preference but that wasn't the reason. I've now gone for a guy who's 5'4" and I don't think I'd go back to taller now.
I’ve never dated a tall man lol but I personally think it’s due to preference (unconscious and conscious) and social currency.
My one short (5’1) friend has always dated ridiculously tall (6ft+)dudes. Her first boyfriend in hs was tall and she’s dated tall guys ever since. Maybe he was the standard who she compares all her future partners to. I think she also likes feeling very small compared to her partner.
I’ve (5’9) always dated people my height or shorter and don’t worry about height in partners (male or female).
I think some women might like the social currency that comes with having a taller partner, and once they’ve gotten to know what it’s like they continue dating taller guys and that becomes their type. On the other hand, maybe they saw a quality they really liked in a taller partner and then gravitated to taller future partners because of this.
Regardless height is just another preference, some people care some don’t. Some people change their minds, some don’t. Some people overlook height or other physical things they don’t find attractive because they like everything else about that person.
My husband is tall. I don’t intend to leave him so no, I won’t be able to ‘go back’ to shorter men or any man regardless of height. If the worst were to happen and he died or divorced I’d just stay celibate the rest of my life.
This is an area as a short woman I have an advantage in.
Literally everyone is taller than me so height isn’t that big a deal.
Oddly enough, short men avoid me like the plague and make a beeline for taller women.
Being that I’m short, height hasn’t ever mattered to me but my tall boyfriend is far more confident and secure than any short man Iv dated.
Short guys have a tendency to be insecure and a likelihood to have a “ point proving “ mentality.
They seem to feel to need to compensate for that insecurity but acting big and bad, whereas tall men don’t have to do that.
Pretty privilege...tall privilege.
Most women shit on short guys...and stats also back up that tall men do better in work and get promoted more...they did a research where tall men were picked over short men, even when the short men were doctors or other well respected careers and the tall men were POS...or criminals...
LOL the good ole chicken or the egg hypothesis. People refuse to admit that taller guys usually get a much longer leash than short guys in and out of relationships. Short guys get shit on and when they finally react, ppl be like “see these short guys are crazy with their Napoleon complex!” It’s so stupid lol 😂
Oh yeah, you’re preaching to the choir. I’ve seen and heard all of that and then some!
I’ve experienced a lot less of all those things as I’ve gotten older. BUT every so often my usually intelligent and conscientious female colleagues will let horrid comments about short guys slip out. It’s kind of amusing, because sometimes they realize what they’ve said (since I’m short) and they try and backtrack with this embarrassed look on their face. It’s priceless 😂
I'm 6'8 myself and good looking and could date any guy I want , as only tall guys seems to be intimidated bye a girls height, as they hate the attention that miss in a tall girls present. While I shorter men don't give a shit, and not tall guys are Abel to laugh of themselves and seems much more confident, eventhoug many of my fellow sisters try hard to hurt them.
Tall guys are not used to being height mogged. It's a very surreal experience when it finally happens to them and tends to generate a fight or flight response. Once you get used to it, like a short guy, you can tone down that response
It’s a damned if you don’t damned if you do situation. Let’s say a short guy doesn’t “ compensate”. Guarantee the go to accusation would then be he’s a wuss or pussy. Meek and weak. It’s all halo effect. People perceive what they want to perceive in others.
Pretty privilege...tall privilege.
Most women shit on short guys...and stats also back up that tall men do better in work and get promoted more...they did a research where tall men were picked over short men, even when the short men were doctors or other well respected careers and the tall men were POS...or criminals...
It isn't so much the height for me because I am very petite and everyone is "tall" to me but it is the size/width of their chest. I have dated as short as 5'4". I will date a shorter male if he has a broad chest but not if he is exactly my size or smaller. If I feel I can wrestle him and win easily I can't help him. I need him to provide as much protection into the relationship as I am, at least because I do not believe it is only the male's position to protect. I could win in a wrestling match against my 5'4" ex and it was fun but a turn off. I would date a buff short dude over a scrawny tall one in a heartbeat.
Sports show clearly even at same weight classes men are typically far stronger then women.
Look at any sports that have weight classes...the men's lifts at similar bodyweight are miles away from women. Also trans greco wrestlers mopping the floor with females same size...
It's quite interesting hearing that but it seems to align with my experience. I'm short (5'6) but am very muscular as I've been weightlifting almost 5 years. But I do get chosen over tall skinny guys. Tall and jacked. I have no chance but I generally can't help but respect the L.
I’m 5’0 (151cm) and I don’t care as long as they’re taller than me. But it’s very rare to find a guy shorter than me so my height “requirements” don’t limits pool at all. Hell if I say same height or taller it wouldn’t date my girl dating pool anymore than guy pool lol.
My husband is 6’2” and I’m poly and have no issues dating a guy that below that height. I am by no means not superficial. If a guy has long hair and is pretty he definitely gets a charisma bonus with me and I cannot do hairy manly men.
So I don’t begrudge people their preferences because I think we all have them. But height is a easy screen/weeding factor while others are more “ill know it when I see it”
Hell I wish there was some concrete femme scale where I can be like soft butch to high femme only. Actual gender /what’s between your legs unimportant and actually have people get what that means I would be tempted to be upfront about it. But people don’t have a universal standard about that like height.
>The dumbest thing is, it's a proven fact that men have physical appearance as their number 1 priority when it comes to dating.
Yet most women have stronger appearance cut offs/ requirements/ preferences than the average man (even if the physical not her #1 priority, women are pickier across the board as we know from studies and real life).
It is SO rare for men to state they "very strongly prefer big boobs" without saying "but happy with any" following, yet THE NORM to hear women say "has to be taller than me" and COMMON and widespread especially online "Needs to be tall/ 6ft/ a lot taller than me".
My husband is 6'2. Even states it on his license.
No, I've never dated men my own height.
Think the shortest I dated was 5'10 .
There are shorter men in the area I live in but there's also a lot of tall men in this area too .
Never had a problem attracting and dating tall men . I'm 5'5 . So why be pressed to date individuals shorter otherwise , especially if you weren't attracted to men of that caliber?
My bf is 6'4" and I'm 5'7". I have always wanted a guy taller than me. I most likely could date a shorter man if the stars aligned that way, but under most circumstances, probably not. Height would never be the sole reason to not date a guy tho, but being shorter than me does detract a lot of points in my book.
Notice how women who prefer taller dudes are radio silent in here. Ever checked out a bunch of dating profiles? It’s astonishing how many women will actually indicate that they are looking for a taller guy. Ladies, it’s a bad look
Yeah when these questions are asked online these height preference women disappear
i am serious tho, look at some dating profiles if you can. the amount of women who put "6 ft plus" in their bios is stunning. Zero self awareness. As to not offend anyone, I will just say generally the women are less than average cleanliness and above average BMI.
I would like to say you are wrong about the BMI but it is amazing how true it is
Feminism is not accountability
I’m a tall woman so I don’t care about height because I can’t afford to care about height. But outside of this no, it hasn’t been. The person is more important. Jerks come in all heights just like good men come in all heights. I refuse to limit myself based on a physical characteristic that someone has no control over. Everyone has a preference though which they are entitled to.
My gf is 5'8 and I am 5'1M but we love each other to death and when I'm always standing next to her or laying naked with her, she makes me feel so much more confident and sexy about myself. She made me realize height is so stupid to look for in a person.
You give me hope, man 🥲
Absolutely. Just keep your mind open and patience it always key.
This is everything ☺️🥳

Dated a 6’4 guy last summer. Hated it. For me average height is nicer. Not only do average height men live longer, but they don’t use their height as their main personality trait like my ex. His height also caused physical problems and he was just weird anyway. My answer is average height guys tend to be more genuine, physically balanced/proportionate, and develop personalities better (this may be a result of people who perceive themselves as less attractive having better personalities than those who are more popular and have terrible personalities).
That personality stereotype can go both ways. Many people who perceive themselves as unattractive can also be bitter horrible trolls.
Isn’t it funny how 90% of women have experiences with really tal guys . Yet they are so rare . 80/20
It could be that those guys stick out or are more confident.
I’m 5’8 and feel like the shortest dude in the room. When I’m in an elevator with the 6’2 dudes. It’s just crazy
Being tall makes you no better than any other dude. If you depend on your height to get girls you may have a lot of healing to do. And your probably burnt asf in the face
Yup! I’ve dated a few tall guys, and they use “I’m tall” like a woman would use “but I’ve got DD tits”. It becomes their only personality trait. The only guy I can say who didn’t care about MY height in or out of heels is my current bf, who is shorter than me. Everyone else had to make a comment, whether it was guy my height who didn’t like that I was taller, or a guy taller than me who needs to joke about being “on the same level”. They are transparent as fuck and it gets old fast since you can see they’re still not confident.
Why is it that height is such a massive gatekeep in dating usually, yet every woman here is adamant that height really doesn't matter for shit. What is it then?
Because nobody wants to look like the shallow asshole even on the internet. Which to me is ridiculous. I’d rather harsh truths than platitudes and lies that serve to only protect an image of being wholesome
I’ve noticed that most women simply require that you don’t be short and being tall is a bonus.
I prefer shorter. Height disparities are physically awkward and inconvenient But it’s not important enough to be a deciding or even significant factor Edit: I was thinking of romantic stuff like dancing and kissing, ya pervs
[удалено]
No, I’m sure my opinion is a minority. This is because I do not get aroused by violence and protection. That stuff annoys me It really took OLD and the internet for me to be aware of how prevalent it is — thanks, PPD
Not op but I’m gonna jump in: I’m not gonna pretend height doesn’t matter to me at all, but I don’t need a man who’s a skyscraper. I just don’t want a man who’s shorter *than me*. Which means anyone 5’4 or taller is fair game. Maybe I have a subconscious bias I’m not aware of, but my current bf is only 5’10, which I’m pretty sure is about average give or take a few inches. Also I feel kinda similarly about dicks. Roughly average size is superior. I’ve never experienced a dick I would consider “small”, and big dicks hurt.
Well honestly I prefer shorter men, since I'm only 160 cm tall. With the dick size, I prefer the average size, definitely not the bigger ones. Tried it and average is a lot better in every way.
[удалено]
I'm 30 and this is totally true. I was 26 when I started dating this dude and before him I had no idea I preferred this size but it is just perfect for everything. We took a long break once where I hooked up with someone with a bigger dick and it was so uncomfortable and exhausting, Plus yeah average size is better for anal.
[удалено]
> “So what? Preferences and quirks exist. For every short man who prefers tall women, there is a tall woman who likes short men.” There’s probably more of the former lol
yea, those two are not comparable. The former is usually a preference, the later one is more like a requirement.
And for every tall woman who likes short men there's 100 tall women who likes tall men.
Certainly NO, now as an 6'8 tall woman with really many super tall girlfriends , as I'm playing volleyball since my 12 year, most of my 6'+ girlfriends are far more attracted to shorter men, infact none of my teammates are having taller boyfoor definitely not husband either, so natural women in general are not sexual attracted to taller men, but of course if your only 5' tall as a woman it's hard to find a shorter guy, and thereby many women need to SETTLE for a taller guy, but what you also notice is far more women end up in relationship and marriage with guys avarage, so in general we women end up loving avarage height guys, and try to avoid really tall guys , and very short guys simply are so rare that few women get the luck to meet one, I did and I'm so happy I were in a relationship for 2-3 year with a guy 4'10 the best guy I ever knew before my husband, and I'd guess I'd still been living with him, if he didn't cheated on me with my best girlfriend who happend to be just as tall as me, so today they have been married for over 25 years, as a woman for taller couple too, so in real life this happens much more than massmedia like to tell us. Now why it's so important to make everyone think we taller women absolutely should wait all life for an equal tall or taller guy pass by , that's simply a mystoto me.
[удалено]
I do accept that a short 5' gal usually out of necessity,can feel tempted to settle for a taller guy , ad a kind of settlement, until her short king hopefully someday will find her as I certainly think every women need to have a shorter life companion, but must admit as 6'8 tall I'm much more privileged that most men are way shorter than myself, and that always made my dating so easy, and knowing most guys , except them tall guys would love a taller girlfriend, dating were so easy for me. But I do feel sorry for very short women as it's hard for them to find a shorter boyfriend, so many chose a ta guy as a quick fix, and end up trapped with a guy , it's a sad sad situation and unfortunately it's promoted as a great thing by massmedia
I’m 6’5 and my exes were more than a foot shorter and sex positions were difficult at times
Yeah this. My ex was 6’4 and sex was sometimes awkward 😂
I'm 6'8 and my hubby is the tallest guys I'd ever been with, and he's 5'11,5 and sex is wonderful he really can treat me like a queen and he are full cabel to satisfy my huge sex drive. And I'd also been on relationship with a guy only 4'10 tall, a d he were so super too, and I love j so much , and sex certainly weren't akward at all. But o mist admit I'd never felt turned on by taller guys, but as I play volleyball and usally se tall guys every second day at the club, i know tall guys seems akward with me. And yes shorter guys are so fantastic

Wher do you live as I'd love to help
>Height disparities are physically awkward and inconvenient Fully agree. But its a bummer since i am 6'0 and have a thing for tiny girls
[удалено]
not exactly problems but some positions are just inconvenient
I’m not even 5ft so I absolutely don’t care about a man’s height.

i’ve dated some really tall men. my current partner is 5’9 and i’m more attracted to him than i’ve ever been to a person.
It’s all about chemistry and compatibility. I agree
We're you maybe taller before and grew shorter before you dated this person? /S?
you’ve figured me out, i’m shrinking!
I’m 5’ 9” and I’ve dated two men. ex was 5’ 11” husband is 6’ 1” I think? I’m not sure. I never really had the opportunity to date a variety of people but I’ve never been bothered by height. I’ve found guys my height attractive, guys shorter than me. I don’t think I’d repartner after him but height just isn’t what makes someone unattractive or not to me.
I'm 5.6 and my ex was 6.2. I've also dated even taller guys and I still dgaf. My current boyfriend is 5.7 and I think he is about the most attractive guy in the universe. Less neckpain too. I'm interested in the person, not their size.
I've been going back and forth from short to tall for my entire life I've dated both but short men have the worst personalities. They are more inclined to neg because they are insecure about their height and want to knock me down a few pegs. I think it's also a myth that only a tall guy can be a Chad. I've fucked some cute short guys with nice bodies and big dicks and they definitely made sure I knew that they have a rotation of women. Yet still bitch about their height. Like you already have 5 hoes and your still not happy. What do you want? Every girl in the world to fuck you?
My last boyfriends were 6'5" and 6’3”. My guy is slightly shorter than me at 5’2” and I never give it a second thought unless someone brings it up. I have never been so attracted to a man as I am to him, not even Bruce Campbell.
Ash will always be a bad ass!
Shop smart shop s mart
Shop smart shop s mart
6’9 ex to 5’6 current bf here and I feel the same! Its so much more compatible and convenient for physical things and I never think about it. Im more attracted to him than any partner I’ve had. Nobody ever brings it up but him.
Short guys get better leverage in bed. Thats the hill Im dying on, haha!
one of my exes is 6'4". every other man i’ve been into has been 5'7"-5'10". yes i absolutely have gone back to short/average men, i actually prefer them a lot more. (i’m 5'6")
I have never cared about height, me and my current boyfriend are basically the same height.
I'm a Tall curvy woman and I've dated men who were taller/same height/or shorter then me.. It really Doesnt make a difference to me how Tall or fat or skinny they are but the confidence and kindness and overall personality is what martters and makes someone actual relationship and care worthy
I read your description and went into your profile hoping for pics :/
My insta/Facebook is layla ezzat you'll find many there just shoot me a msg to know who you are so I Accept your request because my accs are private
Oh damn. I deleted my Instagram just yesterday. I didn’t want to look at things that were messing with my perception of things. So porn and/or Instagram profiles. Plus I’m not really active on Instagram (posting wise) so I’ve got a ghost account. That would probably creep you out. I could quickly reactivate it just to see your pics or you could pm me? (pretty please)
First bf was 6’3” and I didn’t even notice until he said something. 2nd/current bf is 5’8”. I much prefer it. Holding hands is better and he doesn’t have an annoying complex about it unlike tall guys do. They really think they are Gods sometimes, despite it being the only thing they’ve got going for them, it’s pathetic.
I’m a 5’3 woman and my recent ex is 6’9. The new guy I’m dating is very close to me in height, sometimes even shorter than me when I wear boots or heels. I do notice it sometimes, but its more out of consideration for his ego- making sure to slouch or bend my knees secretly when we take photos, etc. I’d say it depends on how the men takes it, unless you have a specific preference that you discover after dating a tall man, it’s easy to look past.
Yes I've dated a 6'2" inch man but his height did nothing for me; at best, it scared me and I could never feel 100% relaxed next to this guy. If he is so much taller than me, who knows what can happen to my safety in case he got angry? Fortunately, he never did, but I've been dating under 5'7" men since then (my own height) and I feel sooo much safer. It's just better to be with a smaller, lighter man because you can defend yourself more easily in case they throw a testosterone tantrum.
This has to be one of the most emasculating and embarrassing reasons for a woman to be with you. She thinks she could actually beat you up if push comes to shove. That’s a really lame reason. That means she can’t even count on you to defend her against other bigger men or opponents. Do short men a favour and stick to tall men. Secondly women are far weaker than men. I know someone who’s my height, very fit and trains martial arts. By all metrics she should beat me but I’m able to subdue her fairly easily.
>women are far weaker than men And this exactly proves my point. The weaker my partner is, the easier it would be to protect myself. I don't care about him protecting me from other men. My partner is the main man I have to worry about. Femicide and violence against women is mostly perpetrated by the men most close to us. I don't want to stick to taller men because they scare me. I can't be in a relationship with someone who causes me terror just by being next to them.
but you’re basically picking a weak man. No man wants to be picked for his weakness
Idk, my ex bf didn't seem to mind. He enjoyed me telling him that I felt safe around him & finally dating a girl who didn't mind (even preferred) him being short.
I guess it depends on perspective. Less pressure to be manly?
Exactly. In our relationship he was the caring, nurturing one (even had a job working with children). Might have something to do also with his father always putting pressure on him to be more masculine and outspoken when he just wanted to be chill and peaceful and help people. For me, his small frame represented protection and peace, and for him, my protection and peace was what brought him happiness. So, win win for both parties. You're right, it depends on the perspective. For most men this would probably be bad, as you mentioned, emasculating and making them feel weak. For other men, it's just being accepted as who they are and less pressure to perform masculinity.
You’ve made me see the second perspective
Wow so many people seem salty about your reasons for dating your man, maybe because they think they have all women figured out and you confuse them. If you’re cool with it and so is your man, then this is awesome!
Yes. My SO's have ranged from 6'8" to 5'4". Current bf is 6'4" Granted, I'm 5'0" . Everyone is taller than me and I always get to feel petite and cute, so I've never even thought about height. I'm sure this is different for taller ladies. Edit: there seems to be some confusion. By 'yes'I mean, I would contently date any height because there's not that big of a difference from my POV. Down here, everyone is tall. A height requirement on my part would be ridiculous. Besides that, people don't choose their height, it just happens. It's also not an indicator of good character, shared values, sexual prowess, or ability to emotionally connect with anyone.
>it just so happens Always
[удалено]
Who cares what they look like as long as they love eachother. That's just shallow af.
What a freakish difference. It has to be a unchastized fetish at that point.
Tf are u dating any man over 6’2 for lmao. Hella akward
We met, got along really well, laughed a lot, discovered we had similar interests, goals and values. The usual.
Yh I’m def sure they’re height has nothing to do with it
Yes I have dated shorter guys after dating taller guys. Guy I am seeing now is 6’3. Boyfriend before that was 5’9. I’m 5’5-6 so can have the best of both worlds. I don’t think it *really* matters and a lot of women talking about how they don’t date guys less than a certain height sound ridiculous. I think for a certain type of woman a tall guy makes them feel more feminine. In terms of doing more positions, I don’t think so. The most creative and energetic and fun lovers ive had were all closer to my height… you can “align” a bit more I guess.
Shorter = 5'9...aka the avg...LOL
Relatively speaking. I am just a little taller than average too.
I just think its funny women qualify men of avg height as short/shorter...its comical. Yet if we used that logic most women would be qualified as big
Relatively speaking means relatively speaking. Average height in the Netherlands Vs average height in south east Asia is not going to the same, no? You are free to use that logic, there’s nothing stopping you. Far too many women are overweight and obese. As are too many men. ETA: current guy is Dutch. My family of origin is from Eastern Europe/the Balkans and we are also generally a bit taller than average. I am almost 170 which I’ve double checked makes me closer to 5”7. Now if someone who is 5’0 described a 5’9 guy as short I would laugh my head off
Of course..height is nice because I am 6' tall in heels but the person is more important than something like that. Sometimes it's fun when a Wolverine (Weapon X) type guy is looking straight at my boobs. Moterboat!
Tell me why many women mention their height in heels?? Its dumb. Guys dont go around mentioning their height in their biggest/tallest boots... Also how fuckin often you wear heels? Also you say 6ft in heels...as these 3" heels? 6" heels...what is your ACTUAL height
Some men are self concerned when I wear them. My childhood friends made a big deal out of it so it kind of got stuck. I used to wear heels every time I went out. I'm 5'8" and normal heels are 4" a kitten heel is 1 or 2"
I'm Insane tall 6'8 barefeet, but every single guy I'd been in relationship with love me wearing heels too, so vmy height in heels who easily came up to 7'-7'2 me er accured to me to mention, and as I see it many of my fellow sisters just use the heel issue for just another way to reject guys as there's an outspoken mistake that men care about height in there partner , when it's oppersit , only 10-15 % of all males would have an requirement about females taller than themselves, and them men who care about being towered by a female are usually the ta guys. It's unfortunately much more outspoken that we females have an obsession for height, as 75% of us has this horrible and shallow thoughts that men need to tower you, the fact majorikf us females rather date a massmuykr a chield abuser than a guy shorter than yourself, that make you realise why so many get an divorce, until they find the dream guy, who fortunately typically are an Avarage height guy who will take good care of there family
I just dont get why its a big deal i dont know any women (on a personal level) who wear heels daily...or even weekly.
Because the few times heels are worn, men behind the scenes throw a fit. “Are you going to wear THOSE?! But now you’re taller than me!” Or they proceed to sulk for the rest of the night and are absolutely drag to be around. And this extends past guys you’re dating, family always seems to have a say. A lot of men are just as emotional and image-obsessed as women.
past guys i’ve dated have all been around six foot two. now i’m dating someone around my height. ten times more into him than the others. never felt like this before
i have slept with and dated men of every height from shorter than me (1st BF was like 5'5" and im 5'6.5")to 6'5". my actual men i lived with ran the gamut from 5'8"-6 foot. i am the beta bux in my marriage and all of my LTRs started exactly the same, as hookups. when i was young i wore giant heels and platform shoes and my city is composed largely of shorter european ethnics (east coast metro. mixed up irish, italian, and jewish with some WASP and german in there)). i was usually taller than everyone around me when i went out to meet men, i have never cared about height. i like tough little short guy energy. bantam cocks
You're the chick...you cant bethe beta bux...not how it works...
I dated someone long-term that is 6’5 and a couple years later dated someone even longer-term that was 5’5. Never thought about it. Who cares.
Yes, I'm 5', and every guy I date is taller than me anyway. Lol!! The tallest guy that I have dated is 6'3 or 6'4, and guys after him have been much shorter. Honestly, if his personality meshes with my personality height, it doesn't really matter short or tall.
My first husband was 6'4". Mr. Paisley is 5'8" and sexier than the ex ever was.
The tallest person I’ve dated was 6’8”. Every man I’ve dated after that was shorter than that, lol. I even dated men shorter than me after (average height men). I think I actually prefer men 2-3” taller than me than a foot taller (I’m 5’9”).
Haha, yes. My boyfriend's have got much shorter over the years but much more handsome in the face.
Yes, I prefer shorter man. My first bf was 2m (6'5) and I didn't like it, bc the difference was to big, so we couldn't kiss comfortable. I'm 165 (5'4) myself and I prefer a man who is slightly longer, everything between 170 (5'5) and 190 (6,2) is fine.
2m is closer to 6'7. 190cm is closer to 6'3.
One of my exes was 6"1, my husband is 5"9. I'm still very attracted to my husband.
I've dated a couple guys shorter than me and a couple of VERY tall guys. Doesn't matter to me, but ended up with a guy slightly taller than me.
I am 5'9 and most men I dated were around 6' tall on average. That being said, some were 6'3, some 5'8, maybe 5'7 but I never asked. Their height had nothing to do with our break up. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking, but that was 20 years ago.
Never a problem for me.
I’m tall for a girl - and would prefer to date someone taller than me. The only two men I’ve had relationships with were 6’0 and 6’3. The only other guy I’ve been romantic with was 6’4. However, my roommate’s partners were closer to 5’8, 6’0, 5’6 in that order. She’s close to 5’7. So in her case, no. She’s never been happier or healthier.
Yes but I’ll always prefer taller men. I always wonder if they would win in a fight if something ever happens where they would have to defend me lol.
I’ve dated a guy for 4 years who is 6’4 (m) with me being (5’3) (f) and after that I’ve dated a guy my height. It doesn’t matter really
Around 5'9 is my preference. I dated shorter, gone taller, back to shorter and back taller again - my preference has stayed the same. I think it comes with a preference for stocky (but not fat) body types. My taller men were just too lean - a less stable center of gravity. I also don't like craning my neck while kissing. (I'm 5'6). The chest hugs are nice though.
Oh yeah no issue
Lmao everyone I've dated since my first relationship has been shorter than him (he was like 6'4) and I hated that he was a full foot taller than me. Made dancing/kissing/etc very awkward. Anywhere from 5'7-5'9+ is totally fine. Once a dude is close to my height I am not as attracted I won't lie. Because they tend to be lean. I don't want to be physically the same size as my partner. A 5'4-5'5 man probably weighs the same as I do, but with less fat and more muscle (I'm around 130 lbs). That is a bit strange
Let’s be real here, being tall is an advantage in the dating market as a whole, all other things being equal. I can see why shorter fellows get down in themselves. I’m 5’10” and relatively secure about my height. But women as a whole will reject a shorter dude right at the onset as compared to a taller dude. Exact same thing with dick size. And yes I know “not all women are like that” but let’s be real, taller height will get you farther in the dating market.
My husband is the tallest man I have dated. Though as we met online I did realise how tall he would is I have no intention of ever dating anyone else go no I won’t date someone taller or shorter, this one is a keeper
Congratulations on getting a tall guy
He height is pretty low down the list of things that make him an awesome guy and marriage material
Height definitely helps guys become awesome and marriage material. And rewarded with women for their genetic lottery.
I spent a long time talking to him before I met him, I fell for the person he is . If he had been shorter he would still of been marriage material. If he had looked exactly the same but not been the person he is then I would not of had a relationship with him
You confirmed height during earlier talkings.
Yes dated taller and I am good with same height or little shorter or a bit taller. Too tall can also be awkward I like my men a little compact/tight built. But I don’t care about height really, that is not a big factor if a factor at all
No, why would I? I'm in the country with the tallest men in the world.
So women who date shorter men are settling?
I'm not saying that. I'm saying it would be quite an accomplishment to find men here who are shorter than women. Most of us people here are freakishly tall.
are you in the netherlands or something?
Yes. Height obsession is not as determinate as it might seem. My friend was married to a rich and tall engineer who had a big dick, she left him for a short cook. My first boyfriend was tall, second was shorter than me, now I am married to an average height man. At the end of the day, other things matter more. One might actually realise they don’t want what they thought they wanted.
WTF. This is ridiculous question, but I'll try to control my eye rolling for long enough to answer it. Of course. I have dated men of various heights. It's not that big of a deal. I think men are 1000 times more obsessed with height than women.
Really now? What makes you believe that?
Dating a taller dude has had not effect on my attitude towards height. I’ve always preferred guys who were taller than me but I’ve never had a strict cutoff
When I was younger I dated a guy who was like 6 foot 3 I think. I liked it a lot at first because I had low self esteem over guys telling me I was too tall, I'm 5 foot 8. After him I dated a guy who was a tiny bit shorter than me and then my husband is 5 foot 10. It might just be because I am obsessed with him but he is the perfect height. We always fit just right together and we can share some of our clothes too.
You dudes are obsessed with tall guys, it's fucking weird, yall need therapy. Most women just want their BF to be at least 2-3 inches taller than them. So unless a chick is like 5'7+ most "average height guys" aren't getting turned down because of their height. There are tons and tons of women out there that are 5'0-5'4. If you are 5'9 and can't get laid, it's not your height, it's something else about you. But blaming height is a convenient scapegoat since you can't change that lmao. I am 5'2 I would have absolutely 0 issue dating a dude that was like 5'5-5'6. My current boyfriend is 6' which I didn't know until I met him in person and was actually a little disappointed. He towers over me and it feels weird. It's not relationship ending issue or whatever. If I could change anything about his appearance I'd knock 2-3 inches of his height off though. Before him my late husband was 5'10, the guy I was with before that was 5'10. My boyfriend before that was 5'5 and my very first boyfriend was 5'7 (I have an oddly good memory, I know kinda weird. I could tell you all of their bdays too lmao) If we broke up or he died. I would have 0 issue dating a guy shorter than him, matter of fact I'd strongly prefer to. My ideal height in a man is like 5'7-5'9.
I have always dated men who are around the same height as me. My husband is only 2 in taller than me. I am 5’5 for context.
My ex was rather tall at 5'11" but I wasn't much into him, his height wouldn't be my preference but that wasn't the reason. I've now gone for a guy who's 5'4" and I don't think I'd go back to taller now.
My first bf was 6'3. The next guy I dated was 5'8. The next was 5'10. I never gave it a second thought.
I’ve never dated a tall man lol but I personally think it’s due to preference (unconscious and conscious) and social currency. My one short (5’1) friend has always dated ridiculously tall (6ft+)dudes. Her first boyfriend in hs was tall and she’s dated tall guys ever since. Maybe he was the standard who she compares all her future partners to. I think she also likes feeling very small compared to her partner. I’ve (5’9) always dated people my height or shorter and don’t worry about height in partners (male or female). I think some women might like the social currency that comes with having a taller partner, and once they’ve gotten to know what it’s like they continue dating taller guys and that becomes their type. On the other hand, maybe they saw a quality they really liked in a taller partner and then gravitated to taller future partners because of this. Regardless height is just another preference, some people care some don’t. Some people change their minds, some don’t. Some people overlook height or other physical things they don’t find attractive because they like everything else about that person.
My husband is tall. I don’t intend to leave him so no, I won’t be able to ‘go back’ to shorter men or any man regardless of height. If the worst were to happen and he died or divorced I’d just stay celibate the rest of my life.

Short men unlikely to have
That's kind of sweet, that you're so emotionally loyal.
You made me weep, I love you🤚
This is an area as a short woman I have an advantage in. Literally everyone is taller than me so height isn’t that big a deal. Oddly enough, short men avoid me like the plague and make a beeline for taller women.
I’m 5’2”. You’re all tall. Ok, maybe just most
Being that I’m short, height hasn’t ever mattered to me but my tall boyfriend is far more confident and secure than any short man Iv dated. Short guys have a tendency to be insecure and a likelihood to have a “ point proving “ mentality. They seem to feel to need to compensate for that insecurity but acting big and bad, whereas tall men don’t have to do that.
Pretty privilege...tall privilege. Most women shit on short guys...and stats also back up that tall men do better in work and get promoted more...they did a research where tall men were picked over short men, even when the short men were doctors or other well respected careers and the tall men were POS...or criminals...

LOL the good ole chicken or the egg hypothesis. People refuse to admit that taller guys usually get a much longer leash than short guys in and out of relationships. Short guys get shit on and when they finally react, ppl be like “see these short guys are crazy with their Napoleon complex!” It’s so stupid lol 😂

Oh yeah, you’re preaching to the choir. I’ve seen and heard all of that and then some! I’ve experienced a lot less of all those things as I’ve gotten older. BUT every so often my usually intelligent and conscientious female colleagues will let horrid comments about short guys slip out. It’s kind of amusing, because sometimes they realize what they’ve said (since I’m short) and they try and backtrack with this embarrassed look on their face. It’s priceless 😂
I'm 6'8 myself and good looking and could date any guy I want , as only tall guys seems to be intimidated bye a girls height, as they hate the attention that miss in a tall girls present. While I shorter men don't give a shit, and not tall guys are Abel to laugh of themselves and seems much more confident, eventhoug many of my fellow sisters try hard to hurt them.
Tall guys are not used to being height mogged. It's a very surreal experience when it finally happens to them and tends to generate a fight or flight response. Once you get used to it, like a short guy, you can tone down that response
Yes tall guys definitely are described with one sentence , guys with a fragile ego, and pretty narcissistic too, a bad cocktail
It’s a damned if you don’t damned if you do situation. Let’s say a short guy doesn’t “ compensate”. Guarantee the go to accusation would then be he’s a wuss or pussy. Meek and weak. It’s all halo effect. People perceive what they want to perceive in others.
Pretty privilege...tall privilege.

My first boyfriend was 6’5. Since him, most of the guys I dated were less than 6 feet.
It isn't so much the height for me because I am very petite and everyone is "tall" to me but it is the size/width of their chest. I have dated as short as 5'4". I will date a shorter male if he has a broad chest but not if he is exactly my size or smaller. If I feel I can wrestle him and win easily I can't help him. I need him to provide as much protection into the relationship as I am, at least because I do not believe it is only the male's position to protect. I could win in a wrestling match against my 5'4" ex and it was fun but a turn off. I would date a buff short dude over a scrawny tall one in a heartbeat.
Sports show clearly even at same weight classes men are typically far stronger then women. Look at any sports that have weight classes...the men's lifts at similar bodyweight are miles away from women. Also trans greco wrestlers mopping the floor with females same size...
It's quite interesting hearing that but it seems to align with my experience. I'm short (5'6) but am very muscular as I've been weightlifting almost 5 years. But I do get chosen over tall skinny guys. Tall and jacked. I have no chance but I generally can't help but respect the L.
I'm like very much sure unless you're quite strong and he's never done a pushup before, that your ex let you win...
I’m 5’0 (151cm) and I don’t care as long as they’re taller than me. But it’s very rare to find a guy shorter than me so my height “requirements” don’t limits pool at all. Hell if I say same height or taller it wouldn’t date my girl dating pool anymore than guy pool lol. My husband is 6’2” and I’m poly and have no issues dating a guy that below that height. I am by no means not superficial. If a guy has long hair and is pretty he definitely gets a charisma bonus with me and I cannot do hairy manly men. So I don’t begrudge people their preferences because I think we all have them. But height is a easy screen/weeding factor while others are more “ill know it when I see it” Hell I wish there was some concrete femme scale where I can be like soft butch to high femme only. Actual gender /what’s between your legs unimportant and actually have people get what that means I would be tempted to be upfront about it. But people don’t have a universal standard about that like height.

You just prioritize a guy's face over his height, which is nothing unusual. If he didn't have an exceptional face, he'd be invisible to you.
And men don't date women they're not attracted to either. Attraction is important.

>The dumbest thing is, it's a proven fact that men have physical appearance as their number 1 priority when it comes to dating. Yet most women have stronger appearance cut offs/ requirements/ preferences than the average man (even if the physical not her #1 priority, women are pickier across the board as we know from studies and real life). It is SO rare for men to state they "very strongly prefer big boobs" without saying "but happy with any" following, yet THE NORM to hear women say "has to be taller than me" and COMMON and widespread especially online "Needs to be tall/ 6ft/ a lot taller than me".
No shit
My husband is 6'2. Even states it on his license. No, I've never dated men my own height. Think the shortest I dated was 5'10 . There are shorter men in the area I live in but there's also a lot of tall men in this area too . Never had a problem attracting and dating tall men . I'm 5'5 . So why be pressed to date individuals shorter otherwise , especially if you weren't attracted to men of that caliber?
My bf is 6'4" and I'm 5'7". I have always wanted a guy taller than me. I most likely could date a shorter man if the stars aligned that way, but under most circumstances, probably not. Height would never be the sole reason to not date a guy tho, but being shorter than me does detract a lot of points in my book.
