| Men don't like TALL women
Posted: 6/20/2006 7:51:15 AM | ever notice that clothing manufactors have completely missed our market?!?! Espically if you are over 6'0" and you are bigger around than a french fry!!
I know! There's the big and tall stores AKA charge an extra hundred dollars for 3 inches of a suit store. My pet peeve is how most places only carry up to size 13 shoes. I wear 16 which means more money, less selection... Booo! | |

Posted: 7/16/2006 8:54:13 AM | Yes it may peeve you but if you look at it from the business' perspective, there isn't that much money to be made mass producing size 16 shoes -- however, as of late, big and tall stores have become quite promiment on the internet (you don't have a store to pay rent for so you can afford to sell these things), not only that -- the population density of tall people (over 5'10") on the internet is much greater than in any city. Anyway, on the original topic at hand -- I am 5'6" and I positively adore tall women, I have no concerns about gender roles and the guy having to be stronger etc etc -- in fact I find it quite sexy when I have to stand on tip toes and tip my chin up to kiss a date (and often if they've gotten over my shortness) appreciate the effort and find it to be very sweet. I certainly do love being all wrapped up in a taller women's arms ^_^ | |

Posted: 7/16/2006 9:17:40 AM | | I am absolutely enraptured by taller women. Such physical grace and power they exude! But there are always problems in being over 190cm...Clothing and shoes are hard for me to find, I have to stoop over to hear what smaller people say (O, my back!), and I tend to sustain head injuries whenever I hit my head on doorways or on the handrails on the bus (much to the amusement of those around me. I am also usually enlisted to pluck thigns from high shelves, or to pin up decorations. Voila tout... | |

| Men don't like TALL women - Not necessarily so
Posted: 7/16/2006 9:30:17 AM | I am 62, though most people conclude I'm in my early fifties at worst. . . and though single now, I was married to a girl 4 inches taller than I for 38 years. I ended the marriage because she was totally self absorbed and mindless of her health. I was an enabler. . . nothing more.
The marriage did not fail because of her being taller, it failed because of attitude.
I will admit that I always found my former brother in law's attraction for very short women curious. He was 6'9" and often dated girls <5' while he was in high school. Such company only accentuated his height. He married a girl 6'1 but divorced after several years in part because of her competitive ways. He has been happily married to a girl 5' for many years now. But her attitude not her size won his heart.
I agree with you that men, in general, seem to be intimidated by tall woman. Personally I find proportion more important than specific height. What is important to me is whether or not a man or woman takes good care of their body. A short, fat woman sucking down beer and blowing smoke is a definite turn off.
Perhaps "tall girls" are like "beautiful" girls. The guys all think they have it made and would not be interested in dating them. A dear friend was a state runner up in the quest for Miss America. She taught me that beautiful woman are often the loneliest. She was the head of a college math department but most people could not see past her dazzling beauty to the incredible personality within.
I've yet to see the "short" girl who can move with the grace of a tall woman proud of her home and the emphasis she places on her entire self not just her tallness. . .and I also believe that many tall women have a hang up about shorter men, or even taller men for that matter. Though they are often conditioned by society to be self conscious about their height, they feel the need to be competitive. Such a pity!
Personally? I've started dating again after three years spent finishing my college degree. The lady I share time with refers to herself as "a long, tall, drink of water". She is quite slender, well developed curve wise, and a joy to be with in all respects . To me she isn't all that tall, being 5'9", but she has become sensitive to people calling attention to her height.
In my list of priorities your height is the last thing I consider, if I consider it at all. Personal attention to physical fitness as witnessed by one's shape and condition (and I don't mean how big your breasts are), chemistry, personality, sensitivity, intelligence, openess, absence of competitive behaviour in public, are all factors of attraction. Shapely, sexy girls may catch my eye, but they never hold my attention beyond a passing glance if they are shallow, self absorbed and overly vain. . . and it's for damn sure I don't want to wake up to them!
If you would like to continue this discussion, feel free to write to me at gerywood@cp-tel.net. I will be here for a while longer, two years more in fact, pursuing my masters.
Cheers,
Gery | |

Posted: 7/16/2006 7:56:45 PM | | Some men unfortunately do. I don't like tall women, unless she's is full-figured and gentle-skinned. If she's tall, but skinny, lanky is the word, she won't turn my head. | |

Posted: 7/16/2006 10:03:16 PM | I'm a tree-topper and i've always had trouble finding women tall enough for me. Short women and i tend to get a neck condition trying kiss unless she stands on a stool. I like the idea of just turning my head side ways for a smooch. | |

This Valkyrie lover would love nothing more than to lean my head backward as I plant my lips onto the lips a very tall shapley lass. | |

Posted: 7/17/2006 8:16:15 AM | | I must admit that I would love to find a woman my height. Being 6' 1" tall I think that would a great experience. Although, I must admit, I've never had any height issues at all. In fact, women my height, or even a little taller, at least the one's I've asked out, won't go out with me. I've wondered if they height issues? Hehe... | |

Posted: 7/17/2006 8:58:54 AM | | If I can really have a preference... I'll take a lady that's 6' and up! Just something about those long legs!!! And, the fact that I'm 6'5" and would love to meet a woman closer to my height plays in a little. | |

Posted: 7/17/2006 9:11:18 AM | | I am 5'10" and have not experienced a problem finding taller men. For the most part I attract taller, although I have dated shorter men and have no issues with that either as I find alot of men an inch shorter than me are often more confident. I honestly prefer men within 1-2 inches of my height, just works better for everything. I have been told though that some men are intimidated by us taller woman, and wouldn't be interested in a man like that anyway. But to all us tall woman I think we get the pick of the crop. :) | |

Posted: 7/17/2006 2:53:56 PM | | It seems to me that women prefer tall men, and certainly require the man to be taller than her. If you're tall, a lot of guys who know better just won't bother. | |

Posted: 7/17/2006 6:45:56 PM | Hey, all:
With all due respect, OP, you are generalizing: "Men don't like tall women"?!! Then to say you are not generalizing!?
Tall women do tend to be at least proportionately heavier, and I do have a simple instinctive rule that I really don't care too much for a woman who is much heavier than me. Did that once and then had to get a d-i-v-o-r-c-e. So if a woman who is tall outweighs me by a significant amount, I tend to shy away. Tall and relatively slender is fine, though.
The woman I have in mind right now and I are the same height and the same weight, which means a very good physical fit. And sometimes we actually finish each others'....... . Add to that, if she wants to turn into a beautiful, bigeyed, insatiable cephalopod, and simultaneously be into Ian Fleming--well, shaken, not stirred!!

Posted: 7/18/2006 6:03:58 AM | | Redundant thread, but I'll reply again. I love tall women. It's the amazonian women that scare me. Not wanting a 6'0" twig either. Just have some meat on yer bones. | |

Posted: 7/18/2006 8:04:28 AM | What I like about some of the tall naughty ladies is how they take advantage of the height and plant kickeys and bite marks on my neck. I also like the way the cradle the back of my head with their hand and place my lips on their shoulders...
Every time I dance with those larger than life goddesses I am in 7th heaven. | |

Posted: 7/18/2006 8:13:32 AM | I am 6'0 tall, proportioned. I am not skinny, but not overweight. I go to the gym as often as possible, I eat relatively healthy, I am somewhat into taekwondo (and am pretty good at it, but taking a break from it) AND I refuse to date a shorter man.
I had it in my profile that I am not interested in shorter men. I have gotten a lot of negative feedback for it. Sorry. I am uncomfortable with dating a shorter man. I want to feel "protected" when I go out and having a taller man gives me that illusion of security I need. Whether or not I would have to defend him, that isnt the question, it gives the illusion that if we were in a crowded place, he and I are two people you do not want to start problems with.
Also, being that I am 6'0 tall, I love to wear heels when I go out. I mean, like 3" heels. So I need a man who is secure in that as well.
I say, embrace your height. | |
