| Men don't like TALL women
Posted: 8/25/2006 8:29:18 PM | Ok, here goes! 
I, for one, stand almost 5'8". I have been in a couple of long term relationships with men who were 5'11." I've also been w/a man who stood just 5'9." I've dated a guy who was 6'4." Now, That was tall! 
This is my opinion; take it for what it's worth...If I'm going to be on a gentlemans arm, I prefer him to be slightly to a bit taller than myself. As a woman, you feel somewhat "protected" by a guy who is taller, more muscular, & bigger framed than yourself. It's the natural order of things. 
I feel bad for some of these gentlemen who posess great looks, but are short on stature!
out.... < | |

He or she that discriminates, masturbates!
As for tall women, I love the presence of a tall statuesque goddess.
It is like having an encounter with a force of nature.
As for feeling protected by a taller guy. That is all inthe skill and toughness in the individual.
Remember the wolverine, short as he is, a much taller and bigger grizzly bear will wisely step aside when encountering the smaller but fiersome predator. That is just nature.
I have seen profiles of war heroes and of martial artists. They tend to be less than 6 feet tall. Maybe being tall is like a soar thumb and are the usually first ones picked off in combat I guess. | |

Posted: 9/13/2006 3:05:00 PM | I agree with you. What is inside matters quite a bit. I am 5'8" and when I was growing up I was always the tallest of the other sisters and hated it. My late husband was 5'11". the next man I dated was 5'5". talk about me feeling self conscious. I dated him for about 5 years and simply what was inside did matter a lot. some of my so called friends, would make fun of him, which upset me. needless to say the so called friends are only acquaintances now. People can be cruel.
take care | |

Posted: 9/14/2006 8:21:59 PM | ANYONE who dates ANYONE SOLELY because of PHYSICAL criteria is an shallow insensitive superficial UTTER FOOL.
To any tall woman: please tell me why you feel safe when you look up into a man's eye? Just saying that you do isn't an answer. Think about it and try to explain it.  Instead of looking eye-to-eye; women are equals, right? Explain how looking up into a string-bean's eye makes you feel more secure than looking straight into a muscular man's eyes.
Guys who need to tower over their women, that's just as ludicrous. Find your balls, you are a man, aren't you? | |

Posted: 9/15/2006 9:04:19 PM | I need to be taller than my woman, I'm sorry, I guess I just like feeling tall, I think it's engrained in every male from birth and those males who disagree are either short and have accepted theyre short or theyre really tall and don't know what it's like to have some women who are as tall or taller than you.
as perspective from a 6' man | |

Can't explain it because I don't agree with it.
When I was younger I was self-concious about my height (6ft). At college my best friend was 5ft 0. We might have looked daft walking about together, but I never felt like I was looking down on him. I'd have gone anywhere with him and felt safe, he was smart and tough and kept an eye on me, but more than that, he had the same attitude as me regarding friends: the impulse to defend them.
The only time I might have needed anyone to protect me, it was the boyfriend who I needed protecting from... Interestingly, he used the typical female desire to feel protected as one part of his abuse strategy. Not just "I need you", "I love you", but also "I'll protect you". Pretty words to most people (and nothing more than that).
I think those two events educated me. Firstly, the desire to feel protected is quite a primitive and irrational one. Secondly, protectiveness is to do with character, and not anything physical. And finally, I've noticed that the most protective types are female anyway... just think of mothers.
OT: as for men not liking tall women... meh... either they are insecure about their own height which is a shame; or they just have the kind of appearance-based-prejudice that we all have to some degree. No loss... | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 7:15:44 PM | | i am with a "tall male" and let me tell you that he does like tall women, mainly me. i am 5'10, which is freakishly tall for a woman, IMO. he very much likes it. i don't know what you're talking about, i've been with plenty of tall men. | |

I don't mind tall women... I find them quite interesting.. sometimes there can be certain... benefits.
I love short women too, but sometimes it's hard to kiss them standing up.

Because it does...sorry.
I feel safer (and more feminine) with a taller man because he usually has long arms that surround me. If a man is bigger than me, he'll do a better job protecting me (not that I need it, it's just reassurance I guess). So much for the feminist in me, lol. It's also easier to cuddle and I feel closer to him. I'm most content (when with a guy) when I can actually rest my head on his shoulder and we have our arms around each other)
Of course, I was always taller than most of the guys my age while growing up. I haven't noticed it outright, but I think it all may have to do with the way I was made fun of while growing up. | |

tall women only seem to be with the shorter men
Talll guys really dont seem to be a wanted commodity so to speak I know so many single and datesless guys over 6 foot that its not funny
so Australia is upside down in many ways I guess | |

Posted: 11/23/2006 3:25:35 PM | | I know exactly what you mean. I'm 6 ft. and am not ugly either.A guy once told me too that guys are scared of asking out an "Attractive" woman-scared of being turned down. We all hate rejection. Poor guys think of what they're missing. | |

Posted: 11/23/2006 3:53:42 PM | | I don't know what you are judging tall men by, but I think men of all heights like tall women. My late husband thought my 6 ft. sister was so sexy because she was tall. He was 6 ft. My last boyfriend always described tall woman as extremely attractive. I think he prefers tall women. I actually think fewer men like petite women than tall women. They like long-legged women. I am regular height myself, but this is an observation and a conclusion I have come to. | |
