Posted: 8/6/2007 2:47:02 PM | | I, myself, prefer dating taller women. my ex was 5'8 and I loved it! I am not much for shorter women (not saying there is anything wrong with that), but I prefer my women at least 5'6, which I would be willing to go down to 5'4, but not shorter than that. I think taller women are sexier. | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 2:59:04 PM | | Wait did I read your blog correctly. Men dont like tall women. You get approached by guys shorter then you. What are they not men? I certainly cant make sense of your statement. If no guys showed interest might try to rationalize. by the way women dont like short guys> read the profiles, I cant tell you how many say must be 6' tall or taller, this often by a girl that is 5'0. | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 3:51:09 PM | All that this 5'9" ("gee you look taller than that") is that I can't believe I'm seeing thirty pages devoted to this!! I have read through a few and all I can add is my own experience. When I was a teen I used to dream about an operation that would cut three or four inches off my legs. Now that I'm older, I've come to terms with my height and enjoy standing out in a crowd! | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 4:17:30 PM | | Being 6', there's not a lot of women that can match me in height, so naturally, I tend to date women that are shorter than me. But I have no "height restrictions" and think that a woman that is the same height to be fine. I think a lot of guys don't want a woman their height or taller because it's a dominance thing. Someone smaller than them, they feel a sense of dominance, and that gives them confidence. I'm looking for an equal, so someone of equal or even greater height would be just fine. But that's just MY opinion! | |

Posted: 8/6/2007 9:49:41 PM | | Its not a generalization, being tall and wearing high heels I feel intimadates many males..however I feel I look better with a tall male. I also like a guy I can look up to, it makes me feel secure and safe, and beautiful. I do want to say to all the tall girls celebrate your height, stand straight and tall , many are envious of what we feel sometimes is our disadvantage ,but long legs and confidence is a turn on for men more often than you think.... | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 6:28:07 AM | Everytime a shorter guy emails me and I tell them I don't feel comfortable with a shorter guy he gets made and says you don't know what your missing. Maybe so but I would never be attracted to him as I am only attracted to tall guys. Can't help it. Like the previous poster, I feel safe, and also more like a woman when a man who is bigger than me as in taller. If a guy is shorter there are plenty of ladies out there in their catogory. Just like some guys prefer slim women, some perfer full figured woman. Some women prefer guys with hair others do not. Its a personal thing.

If all you choose to date is a certain type of person (I don't care what gender, height, race etc. you are or what attracts you) and that type of guy continually disappoints you, what does that tell you about your dating strategy? It ain't working. You sort of lost your right to complain. Like people griping about the president and they NEVER ever have voted.
The "tall guy makes me feel safe" argument is ludicrous. I've seen little guys totally kick taller guys asses in fights. | |

If I was 20 years younger......
You are very attractive; you will find a guy who appreciates a good thing when he sees it.

Posted: 8/7/2007 7:57:13 AM | | actually I prefer taller women, but i'm not shallow and I dont have "criteria" like so many women do, so it depends mostly on the personality. I want to look into her eyes...not rest my chin on her head....a few inches shorter than me.....perfect. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 8:05:09 AM | im only going to say this about that, your abolutely correct in your reasoning,, they re intimidated by tall women, I get my share of short men, and it clearly states in my profile, I am tall and want a taller man than myself... the tall ones ! well like you said they are intimidated and need a tiny woman to feel superior ... must be a epidemic..  | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 8:10:29 AM | Most girls seem to only want to date taller guys, but anything up to a foot taller is fine with them. So a 6'3" guy is automatically attractive to anyone 5'3"-6'3".
I'm 5'5", so that would limit me to women 4'5"-5'5". Not many women who are 4.5".My shortest g/f was 4'9".
Also, as most guys are bigger than me, that makes women feel not protected by me, also.
Add to that the fact that most tall guys just want to play with women and throw them away, to be dated by the next tall guy, that means that there are a LOT of single tall guys competing with me for the same women.
In the past, I was reduced to dating women who are confident. Not many of them, I assure you.
So I have had to throw away the rule book, as the odds are stacked against me. So I would approach you, OP. I'd be FAR more likely to get a date from you than a woman who is 5'3".
If you want to date tall guys, the only way you'll get to date them, is if the short girls stop dating them. Until then, there are 12 girls for every tall guy. It's that simple. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 10:33:48 AM | | of course personality is the key..........however I HAVE to wear heels and that can easily bring me close to 6'. I don't mind being taller-----but the guys sure don't like it much I've discovered. yes it is somewhat physically intimidating to walk around with a girl much taller, but isn't that the guy's problem, not mine? never again will I ask myself before a date....will he be uncomfortable if I wear heels? he's already not right for me. | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 6:18:26 AM | | I'm tall (6') and I have not found that! A lot of time when I meet up with a tall guy, I get a 'Wow, it is so nice to be with someone who is as tall as me!' . I mean, most of the time they are excited! | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 1:34:33 PM | I am tall and want a taller man than myself...
See that's so funny, your 5'7" .... I'm 5'10" and seriously.. The only time I think of myself as tall is when I have to go buy pants.... and I have to look for that elusive 35 or 36" inseam. But taller is better I want to be able to hide behind some one sometimes.... I guess it's just bread into you genetically (girl short ug boy tall)
Most of the people I hang out with are my height or taller and well so I think of myself as average. That being said... I think that most women have the inherent need to feel protected.... and bigger equals better. Men on the other hand want to do the protecting ..and if they can not feel that they are needed..then theyhave ego issues within a relationship.
(total stereotyping)Boys like to feel they can pick up a girl and put them in their pocket.... hard to do if she has size 10 feet :o)
But the way.... tot he comment that there was only 34 women in a age range for height.... don't forget everyone shrinks with time :o) Many are probably being honest and average heights have increased with every generation.... drop your search down a few age groups and you will see a huge difference *Edit*non religious women are taller??? why persay use that criteria????? | |

Basically...I think it's an instinctive thing that guys like short girls because taller girls especially ones who are attractive are quite intimidating. A lot of the dispositions towards you would be along the lines of "she's so good...she wouldn't even look at a guy like me". It takes a special kind of guy who's confident enough to approach a tall girl.
First, I haven't read through the entire post, but I did want to comment.
I have to disagree with your "theory"; at least from my personal perspective. Like so many things regarding dating, it's personal preference with a side of experience in most cases.
I'm 6'6" - generally considered "tall". My first "real" girlfriend was 4'11". I've had other girlfriends who've been a lot shorter and, well, it can make things a tad difficult if you have to pick them up to give them a peck on the cheek to say the least.
I will admit that I don't recall ever dating a woman who was taller than I am. However, if the opportunity arose and the attraction was there, I definitely wouldn't refuse. | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 4:25:21 PM | I HATE my height!
Because of my own insecurites with height issues ... I KNOW I have personally lost out on many great guys simply because the idea of me being taller makes me feel sooooo unfeminine. I guess it's a girl thing  | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 4:38:37 PM | I find women a few inches taller then me very attractive. I don't know. I get sort of a I want to conquer and climb her mentality. Lol! Like a "now there's a woman!" feeling.   | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 4:48:11 PM | | I know I'm in the minority, I really like tall woman. Asside from aesthetics they are far easier to dance with. I much prefer the Argentine Tango with a tall woman then a shorter one. | |
