| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/28/2007 10:45:59 PM | I'm 6'-0" (ok, acutally add just a couple of mm to that, but since I don't like metric....).
I used to date shorter gals, but then I met this one at 5'-10" and my whole life changed! Found out that clothes-swapping was so much easier, as were other things too! LOL!
Not that I wouldn't date shorter again, but did like that! | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 2:13:40 AM | | Well, I'm intimidated not by tall women, but by the stereotypes surrounding them. Like, "she's taller than you, thus she won't find you attractive." I've found myself unintentionally avoiding such women and didn't realize it til I read this thread. I'm not a short guy, but there's a lot of people taller than me out there and for some reason most guys think that girls like taller guys. I'm definitely attracted to a lot of females taller than me, but I guess I brush away my chances based on a possibly untrue myth. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 8:39:50 AM | I am 5'8 I guess maybe average good looking a little. I happen to love tall woman I think its sexy if she has long legs. I think for myself being with a woman taller than myself and being out in public brings my confidence level even higher than what it is normally. I think in my mind I feel like maybe an actor with a hot model that would be my analogy, oh by the way I think sex is more interesting if she is taller than me anyway. scott | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 9:14:10 AM | Well, I see this is a very old thread. I see the person who started it is no longer listed as an active member. Have not read any of the responses yet.
Wish she was still listed, so I could find out how tall she is.
Not being able to do that, I can say that at my 5' 11'', the idea of a woman that can look me eye to eye doesnt bother me in the least. I'm drawn toward proportionally shaped women. Height doesnt otherwise matter to me.
Cant speak concerning other mens views on the subject, have met very few women that are my height.
Guess its time to read some other responses. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 9:19:20 AM | | I don't care if she's a midget or a professional basketball player. I don't get this whole height thing, never have. If you are truly in love with a person it wouldn't matter if they had two heads and four arms, you just wouldn't really notice it after awhile. ( Hmmm...... that could be interesting...lol!) Would you think your child ugly if he/she were born with a birth defect? Would you leave your wife/ girlfriend if she lost all her hair because of chemotherapy? What about a horrible disfiguring car accident, a fire? You get the idea. If any relationship is based on superficiality then it's doomed before it begins. Yes, I know that there has to be chemistry, but how many of you have seen couples that appeared to be deeply in love where one was very unattractive (in your eyes and presumably not filthy rich) and the other was a stone cold knock out?! We see it all the time and just scratch our heads in wonder. They are seeing and feeling something that we are not and good for them. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 9:23:28 AM | I've never actually met an available, unattached tall woman. By "tall", I mean taller than 5ft9. I'm 6ft6, and I think it would intrigue me to be with a woman around, say 5ft10 to about 6ft2. But I suppose that will always be an unfulfillable fantasy.
Every woman I've been with has been in the range of 4ft10 to about 5ft7, not that I have anything to complain about regarding them.
But, I have always wondered............ | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 9:29:40 AM | | I have been attracted to and have dated both tall and short. If my match is five inches taller or five inches shorter it makes no difference to me. It comes down to my overall attraction and connectivity with her. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 10:03:43 AM | I like tall women. When I kiss them, I have to tilt my head back and it makes me feel pretty. What does that even mean.  | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/29/2007 10:04:41 AM | I'm 5'10" and I have talked with some men that had a preference for shorter women, usually because taller women attact a lot of attention when they go out and they are not comforable with that.
Just like with age, usually men look for women that are their age or younger instead of older.
If you feel that you're being overlooked, just post one of your pics in a skirt with a pretty smile on your face. Your height is an asset, just show those beautiful long legs as a happy lady and you'll find the man to appreciate God's gift to you.
Blessings to your search for love!

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/1/2007 7:36:06 AM | I also find that true, I have worked in retail most of my life, and if I see a nice attractive tall man who comes behind him is this short woman. I myself have been approached my shorter men. I do think that is true, but unfair because the tall girls would like a tall man too not just the short woman. I was married to a guy that was about 4 inches difference in heigh to mine. Just not fair. but don't know what the outcome is. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/1/2007 9:28:21 PM | We all come in different shapes and sizes.
However there was never more embarassing time that when I was dancing at a night club with a height-challenged girl who was covered by my body and it looked like I was dancing by myself on a crowded dance floor. I am glad she decided to swap spots with me during the mix of music.
I am 6' 1" and found the whole evening dancing with a girl 5' 11" in 4 inch heels to be something very sexy and enjoyable - especially slow dancing together. I thanked myself for wearing a pair of boots because it was nice to look eye to eye and not eye to check out her dandruff.
Consider this, a friend of mine at the time was 6' 10" and was dancing with a 5' tall woman in 4 inch heels - so who really cares ?
It is the person inside and not the height but alot of men do not like women to be closer to their heights as it is a feeling of power loss - those men are probably the kind that give their wives black eyes for not doing the cooking on time.
Gutless Wonders !!! | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/6/2007 6:00:41 AM | | i recall reading (sorry, no link) that a man's attracted more to a womans shape than her height, on a sub-concsious level. from what i remember, the hourglass shape, with a ratio of 1 - 0.66 - 1 (which equate somewhat to 36-24-36") is most desirable. i know a lot of men who make reference to liking small/short women, and i believe it has to do with domination on a sexual level, IMO. | |

Too funny!  | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/6/2007 7:15:12 AM | | Oh yes we do...well, tall men do. Not that I'd discriminate if she were in the lower reaches of the height scale, but any lady around 5"8' and taller stands out to me. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/6/2007 8:05:22 AM | I'm from the North, land of TALL Men. moving South posed two problems for me, straight heat & shorter men... The sad part is they're all so cute . You can't help but wonder if a 4 foot 11 chick came by would he run off with her. . For me My King of Men has to be TALL... Ilove too wear my heels, too bed even, sense of physical security, i know that at anytime i could jump into his arms, sit on his lap and not feel as though i was hurting him or breaking his legs even when I'm tired my head rests right in the crook of his neck and i feel safe Very secure in myself , but here in Flat, Hot FLA. short chicks are the majority, short legs short arms, short brains how big can they really think, when everything is so compact???...So Ladies who are taller than myself, please don't feel bad i'm just 5'7 and as you can see I'm here also and for the Hottie Shorter Guys who send me mail your all Hot and Sweet, but also like my baby brother and he's 6'4.... Yeah ladies I have 5 brother's all 6'4- 6'3 and they are all married to SHORT women Good luck in yor search TL's(tall ladies) For you tall guys who keep folding over, Dr. Kustin is a great Chiroprator | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/7/2007 11:54:23 PM | Cool with me.
Am short, but think they're very sexy.
Never been out with one.
Fancied several, but didn't think they'd go for me. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/8/2007 12:14:49 AM | | I love tall women:) I ts hard to find ladies taller than about 5'11". I am 6'4" and would love to find a lady over 6' :) Sully | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/8/2007 1:13:17 AM | I have to say I like a tall woman, just seldom seem to find them. I'm 6' myself and a woman over 5'8" won't give me pain in my neck when kissing goodnight. I feel more comfortable making eye contact during conversation and things in general are just easier to deal with.
Having said that ... I also don't use height as a criteria when searching profiles. If I like the person, how tall they are really is not important enough to worry about. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/8/2007 8:59:30 AM | | 5'10 or above is good, but like it was said previous, any height is good, as long as its a healthy relationship. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/8/2007 8:02:09 PM | | How ironic! A woman who does not know why a guy is not attracted to a tall girl, but yet she is not attracted to man shorter then her. | |
|

|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 5/13/2007 4:09:01 PM | | I find that men both short and tall will "hit" on me. I think that you just have to be open with your personality. I have dated over a foot shorter and a foot taller, a foot in both camps so to speak. Each was wonderful in his own way. | |
