Posted: 3/29/2007 2:18:44 PM | Hi,
I am 6' 2", been that way since right before 8th grade. I grew up in height in 2 weeks of growing pains and not much sleep and ended up wearing my Dad’s boxers and t-shirts around. It was cool as I lived in Hawaii at this time, in the 1960s. Shortly after growing to that height I weighed 200 lbs until 5 years ago after injuring my legs and now having RA and wear a leg brace. I shot up in weight from that nice always 200 lbs to 340 and then lost weight down to 220, then the second year my other leg was injured and I shot up to 380 lbs and now am taking it slow losing currently 276 lbs. Pizza tastes very good and having it delivered is so much fun when you lay with your legs up after work. I am still 6’ 2” and even get my butt pinched at times and definitely get looks from ladies. I have a nice smile.
I live around Portland Oregon, have for 27 years now, and the majority of ladies here are short, usually 5’ to 5’ 4” average. Rare do you find someone taller. One thing that may make some guys that like tall ladies not approach tall ladies at first is finding that some are guys undergoing or have had surgery to change their bodies. Not a fun thing. Holding back, looking for that adams apple, shoulder and hip bone structure, deep voice, that sort of stuff saves a lot of time. Or, they are gay and hate or don’t like guys. Rare do you find a real lady that is tall that isn’t attached or married to some guy.
Yes, tall leggy women stand out when they enter a room. I am definitely one of the many that check it out. Long legs are great but I like tall women because you can stall erect with out having to duck down and say, “Huh?” most of the time, or miss totally what your partner has said or if they did say something. Dancing, oh my God, dancing with a tall lady is so much fun. She can rest her head on your shoulder and you both can whisper or just move together with legs equal and that really does make it fun and comfortable. Looking down at the top of a head as they say something and you can’t hear it isn’t fun. Especially when the shorter ladies legs are so short movement is not fluid and fun for either. Even wearing a leg brace I still love to dance.
The average heights of ladies here in the NW being so short it is like being in Hawaii as they are similar. Many short legged women in both places. Hawaii’s short ladies have longer legs and shorter torsos then the ladies here in the NW who seem to have normal length torsos and short stubby and or bowed legs.
A tall lady being a guy in disguise, a hate filled lesbian or already attached to someone could be why some of the guys checking you out do not approach you or accept you approaching them.
Some other reasons why guys don’t approach tall ladies could be they think they are models which in some guys minds puts that lady in an unreachable status. There is also the myth that if the lady is tall she is TOO BIG in some areas. That is definitely a myth. This thing about being able to toss smaller women around in bed is true but why do you have to toss someone around, and all the time? I have found, from experience, that if you are a tall man being with a tall lady is more fun. Legs and torsos match, you can actually look into each other eyes and body language is not lost, communication is one of the most important facets of any relationship. Walking you can hold hands without the lady having to hold her whole arm up which must get tiring for them. Walking in step is fun and an easy cadence can be had naturally. Sure, shower stalls, cars, and other places smaller people can enjoy themselves together are fun but limited due to heights for taller people. Buildings are designed to handle the average heights, 5’ 4” to 5’ 8” for men and women. Mirrors hung generally cut the heads off of taller people when they look into them. I don’t know how many times I have entered a basement and was given a reminder that I should walk stooped so I won’t bang my head on a beam, pipe, or conduit.
I think that shorter guys do approach taller ladies more than tall guys is that it is a shining moment for them with their peers and the general public. Most people stop to turn and watch a tall lady with a shorter man easily more times than they would do that if the man was taller. Societal peer pressures could also swing the other way as a tall guy is more accepted being with a shorter lady than with a tall lady. For some reason some guys feel intimidated if their lady is just as tall as them. Sounds sexist, may be, but that is the way some feel. For these types if their lady wears heels at all they could be taller then them and they feel slighted socially. Stupid, definitely, but it is there. Stupid is someone that knows better but still does as opposed to someone ignorant.
My Mom was 5’ 11” and my Dad the same height I think. There was a one inch difference in them, something discussed but not much but was a point of focus in their relationship. I Dad saw my Mom and fell in Love at first sight. His Mom was 4’ 11”, his Dad was 6’ 6”. My Mom’s parents were around 5’ 10”. My younger brother is 6’ 7” and takes after my Dad’s Father’s side as all the women and men were over 6’ 4”. I think I got some of my Dad’s Mom in me as my torso is shorter than my brothers and his legs and mine are almost the same height. My arms are longer and my neck, shoulder and chest are wider than his. I also started smoking cigarettes when I was in the 6th grade and quit when I was 28 years old. I feel my height was stunted some genetically and from smoking for a couple of years prior to my height growth spurt.
When I was growing up in Hawaii and was all of a sudden more than a head taller than my classmates and friends my age it was hard to find a girl friend. Girls were I lived that didn’t know me that I would say hello to thought I was some old guy hitting on them, even if I was a year or three younger than they were. I was able to buy liquor from the 8th grade on not once carded or even looked at in a weird way. Moving here to the NW in my mid 20s was a nice thing as I was able to meet up with ladies close to and around my height. I worked in Hotels for almost 12 years, doing many jobs. They would hire ladies there to serve drinks that were close to 6’ if not more. It was great and I made friends with most of them, not always dating just friends. Most were married and or attached. Not only was it fun to date sometimes but mostly it was great to be able to talk with a lady that you could look her in the eyes. Eyes for me are the most important part of someone.
Thinking about it now, shorter ladies were more apt to ask me out than taller ladies. Also shorter ladies were the ones that would grope and such. I would get that while carrying a tray, or something with my hands full and preoccupied. Chest grabbing, nipple pinching, muscle squeezing, butt pinching, and even chest hair pulling. They wouldn’t stop doing that till I would snap their bras, that only after months of patiently asking for them to stop. Separate issue, I know, but it still seems to pertain. Shorter more apt to approach than taller to tall people, may be.
This is long, and I could add more, but I think this isn’t just an issue with tall ladies but also with tall men. Shorter people are more apt to approach someone taller than someone tall approaching someone tall. Many reasons as to why. Mostly I think it has something to do with tall ladies not being the norm and tall guys used to being with shorter ladies.
I hope you find, or have found, someone tall that is attracted to your height and more so attracted to who you are.

Posted: 3/31/2007 7:27:17 PM | | Statistically, taller women and shorter men have a harder time finding a partner. For whatever reason, our culture does find that shorter women and taller men reject the shorter man/taller women; notwithstanding, there are always exceptions, so keep trying. | |

Posted: 4/8/2007 3:01:24 PM | WOW, I'll never blame my height for anything again as long as I live. I've been blaming my height for stuff most of my life. Maybe I was justified SOME of the time but... I guess short, tall, fat, skinny, bald, hairy etc. it's always easier to blame what we can't control.
Of course we will always have these hangups reinforced by mean people who insult us due to their own insecurities. EG. entry 601. I don't believe it is possible, considering proximity, that I could have been one of the people in her childhood who called her Jolly Green Giant and the like, but I've had to suffer the insult of Munchkin because of it.
So to her I say (with no offense to ALL the lovely tall women)
THIS ISN'T FANTASY LAND, I'M NOT JACK, AND I HAVE NO DESIRE TO CLIMB YOU!

Posted: 4/8/2007 5:46:15 PM | It isn't that no one likes taller women. Or even that taller guys don't like taller women.
Taller women have a tendency to LIMIT themselves to only men as tall and preferrably taller. Whereas men just don't have this hang up. So if you automatically reject out of hand anyone under X height, leaving only say 20% of the male population to choose from and those same men DON'T make that restriction and therfore still have the 100% pool to choose from ...... sorry a problem of your own making.
And just think of the money you could make creating your own new sex position manuals | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 3:52:42 PM | If you are under 6 foot, you are short. This is according to the uniform international rating system for potential dates, published by the UN.
I find it amusing when women in the 5'8" to 5'11" range claim to be "tall"
Yea ok whatever. I'm 6'4" and I have yet to meet a girl that is taller than me. I would love to date at girl up to and equalling my height, the physics of coming together would work out so much better. And we'd be SO intimidating as a couple  | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 4:24:36 PM | I do not have a preference whether tall or shorter. I will have to say that there is something nice about a slow dance where you can look your partner in the eye without having to stoop over and lose some of the body contact.  | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 12:40:08 PM | I'm 6' 0", so even very tall women aren't much taller than me. All factord being equal, I prefer taller women. I don't feel intimidated by any woman based merely on her height. A woman over 6' tall with a cordial demeanor is far less intimidating than a 5'3" woman who holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and yes, I've dated both. A woman OVER 6' 0" tall who TRIES to act intimidating usually just makes me weary. I don't think that I actually get "p!$$ed off" when this happens, because I have no personal stake in the relationship. I usually make short shrift of women (of ANY stature) who feel the need to intimidate or irritate men, and move on.
It goes back to the thing that medical professionals cling to: "Above all, do no harm". It's how I try to conduct myself socially. I don't think there's much to be gained by acting like a creep, and I'm not on this website to rack up a list of angry women who've gone out with me.
For one thing, it's the right way to act, and for another, I'm sure there's a "Hall of SHAME" forum on this website somewhere. I don't intend to get my name added to the list.
Okay, end of sermon. | |

Posted: 4/23/2007 2:11:38 AM | | I'm 6'3" so most girls are shorter than me. I don't care if somebody is 5'0" or 6'0" even though dating somebody taller than me would be a bit weird. | |

Posted: 4/23/2007 2:27:04 AM | These days, my height 5'8" isn't considered all that tall for a woman. I wear heels and sometimes, depending on the shoe, will be nearly 6'. I love being tall-- I feel sexy being tall and I love being tall with tall men.
It has not been my experience that men don't like tall women. Quite the contrary. | |

Posted: 4/28/2007 11:29:33 AM | | I'm 6ft tall and have always had a hard time finding men that are not intimidated by me. I honestly do not feel that I do any one thing that makes me that way. I think when combined with the fact that I know what I want out of a relationship and that I'm usually pretty straight forward (about everything, which i thought was a good thing) might equal my intimidation factor. I do like dating guys my height or taller but I have dated shorter and I have always felt strange...or in the case of my ex fiance he was always concious of the fact that he was 5'10 and i was taller. I dont know the answer to the problem....nor have i found my 6ft ....or more guy that truly appriciates me for me...which i think is the ultimate issue at hand. | |

Posted: 4/28/2007 11:36:01 AM | Now this is just plain funny.
I find that tall males don't like tall girls. I am tall and I get overlooked by the guys taller than me. I get approached by short guys. I'm not ugly or anything, I'm in good shape so i have no clue
Straight from the OP. Her take is that men don't like tall women while she appearantly does not like short men. But this must be the guys fault, nevermind that last time I checked I never saw a rule that said "your girlfriend must be no more than 4 inches shorter than yourself".
Such lack of reason. You voluntarily limit your own dating pool then complain if those left in that pool don't beat down your door trying to get a date. Remember those tall guys have something called free-choice too, and it is not their fault that your particular choice isn't working for you. | |
