Posted: 2/29/2008 10:02:35 PM | That's not true!
I have found that taller women,don't want to give 5' 10 guy's the time of day.
I have wanted to ask taller women out but,I don't hit that 6' or taller mark. | |

Posted: 2/29/2008 10:17:54 PM | I am 5'8" is that considered tall today? I was the second tallest woman on the basketball team in high school...many, many moons ago!
I feel uncomfortable with men shorter than me. Even guys my height...don't feel right wearing heels! I like a tall..football player type man with a hairy chest! LOL! Not fat..but fit! Nope...no hair on this chest! LOL! | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 1:08:30 AM | Personally a woman's height is not an issue to me.
I would "prefer" a lady to be shorter than me but I would not discount a woman based exclusively on her height. To me that is simply shallow.
Takes all kinds to make the world go 'round though. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 1:14:14 AM | Well, I don't know exactly how tall the OP is, but I gotta say I personally dunno if this makes any sense, not enough to be able to explain why something I've never seen is the case.
The fact is, if you're 6 foot tall, so long as you're not bustin out with the heels there's a fair few guys that are taller than you, or at least as tall as you and so far I've never thought or even known anyone that's thought "she's too tall for me." Occasionally I've seen guys who are too short get shut down by taller women, but yeah. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 7:52:03 AM | I think this is just one of the many oddities of life, but it's thousands of years of human evolution at play. It's really not "the media" that causes women to shy away or not be attracted to shorter men, although the media loves every chance to make fun of it when it happens -- just ask Tom Cruise. It's hardwired into the female of the species since the dawn of mankind. It's actually an anomaly for women to choose shorter men because of this hardwiring, which causes women to seek men on the basis of their potential to provide, and to mate and produce offspring that survive. Even though we like to think that, because we have the ability to reason and "choose," we can override this wiring, the truth is that the vast majority simply cannot. It's just the way it is. Note the term "vast majority" -- if you respond to this with anecdotes or personal stories of how you're different, that's because... you're the anomaly. It might be 1 or 2 percent at best -- of course that means there are millions of anomalies.
That being said, I've met my share of anomalies -- I've dated women as tall as 6' (I'm 5'9") who were even taller in heels. I just don't take it personally when the hardwiring kicks in. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 2:47:07 PM | I'm reposting my thoughts from "Men afraid of tall women" thread since it went dead, and seems to apply here.
I've given some thought to the idea that short men go ga-ga for taller women. First, I think we just go ga-ga for women period - tall, short, or medium. Though, with few exceptions, all the important women in my life have been under 5'-1" and over 5'-10" for reasons I'll explain. But I think I understand what you mean, and I'll share my personal experience regarding my attraction to tall women, and lack of intimidation which I think might be somewhat typical among short men. (for the record, and for whatever reason; I don't really consider women to be tall until about 5'-11" and above, without heels of course. Then again, I don't consider myself short until someone goes out of their way to remind me)
So, to the story:
From the time I was a young boy in public school I was always one of the shortest kids in my class. In those days, They always put us in size places in line. I'm sure this was simply for practical reasons so that the teachers could see everyone better, but it had another unfortunate side result - it forced every child to acknowledge and rank relative height among each other. Anyone who visually stood out from the "pack" was immediately noticed, with the usual results. The average height kids in the middle of the line often made fun of the short boys in the front, AND, the tall girls in the back of the line. Since I knew how it felt to be teased for my height, it was no stretch to empathize with the tall girls. So, while I was separated from these tall young cuties by the mob, we had a shared experience that the average height kids often didn't appreciate. It felt like we were in the same club and with a wink and a nod, we both shared the secret password to get in. I think this was also reciprocated by the tall girls, because so many of them had crushes on me (Can you blame them, at the time I was cute - and I didn't judge them).
Anyway, because of spending most of my time in the front of the line with the cute short girls who couldn't ignore me without getting their hair pulled, and for all the above reasons, I tend to find both very short, and very tall women more attracted to me than average size women. In return, I find it more satisfying to be with a woman who is attracted to me than fight for the attention of most average height women who generally express the same attitude towards me now as they did when we were kids. It's not that I don't find average height women attractive - of course I do. It's just that from experience, I generally don't waste my time fighting a losing battle to be with someone who makes it clear they don't want me.
At the end of the day, it's all about that first shared glance when I meet any woman. Intimidated by tall women? Why would I be? We're both members of the same club and passed the initiation years ago. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:21:34 PM | | Most men just love women. I've always felt it somewhat offensive to deconstruct a person - particularly in front of them. To do so just seems like calculating the dollar value of a person if broken down to their chemical components. I'd rather focus on what I find attractive about them, particularly, as I've seldom met a kind person that didn't have at least one quality, or feature that if I chose to, would allow me to paint that person with a rosy brush. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:23:32 PM | | ..have to be able to wear my boots that of course have heels, majority of males I know are drawn to this, ha ha. When they are shorter than I there is at times reference to me appearing too tall as have long legs. It is simply a 'thing' for women to want to feel that security when we are wrapped around,contained and surrounded by a tall man. Having been truly blessed in having been exposed to ideal partners in my life and now being in the position I am in now, I find it is just ever increasingly hard to find quality 'humans'. To add to the issue it comes down to the fact that most tall men are off the market as they are sought out so heavily. :) | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 7:14:41 PM | xxfoxyredxx,
you're missing the point. The general comment is NOT that they prefer shorter women; they mostly are stating that they don't care how tall you are, they like you for for the magic that you are. That you wouldn't date a shorter guy is irrelevant to this thread, which is that men don't like tall women. The broad consensus is that men like women - period. You can argue it till kingdom come. Men like women: tall, short, fat, thin, boobalicious, lean, mean, chunky, smooth, knotted, polka-dotted, blond, bald, scrawny, toothless - it doesn't matter, we love you.
Now, show us some love. | |

Women (in general) do not like shorter men. You might find the odd case, but for the most part, they don't like 'em.
It's just the way it is :( | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 11:54:37 AM | Ok so I admit that I prefer tall men, but sometimes personality overcomes height.
One reason I like tall men is feeling secure when wrapped in their arms. But I am 5'8 (the tall end of normal supposedly) and when I wear heels - I REALLY prefer a taller man.
One reason I don't date shorter guys is I feel like they have their heads buried in my cleavage if I hug or dance with them ... while in the bed that would be fine, in public not so acceptable | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 11:51:16 PM | I find it amazingly hypocritical of some women who cry about men who prefer not to be with a larger woman and then in the same breath will say that THEY prefer not to be with a short man.
 
Strange isn't it?
A large woman can lose weight but no man can grow inches he was not born with.

Posted: 3/5/2008 10:20:58 AM | As a 5'11" woman who has been called Amazon among other things, I have found many interesting views on this subject. I have always had shorter guys after me, but it seems like there is a conquest thing going on here. Most of the time I find that these guys want to tame the beast, and get very upset when I don't fall into line. i have been told that I am unnapproachable because I'm tall, and my response is bafflement, because what the hell am I supposed to do about that? It's not like I wear heels, in fact I wear flats as much as possible for comfort, not to make myself shorter. I have dated mostly shorter men, only because I too have not had the choice of taller ones. I am not afraid to approach them, but they tell me there is something about a girl who stands a bit above waist height;)
Don't slouch, don't crouch...stand at your full and beautiful altitude. Just because you look down at a guy doesn't mean you are looking down ON them. Sometimes that shorter girl brings out the "protection" factor in a guy, but they need to realize that a tall proud strong girl can be just as vulnerable.
A true man will meet you on whatever level you stand-inside yourself. | |
