| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 7:02:09 AM | I just like to look into their eyes...I've been told by some that I am intimidating, but I am only confident and no BS (not into any drama - giving or receiving). There are times that when life throws some tough curve balls my way, I just want to feel that when that special someone can give me a great big hug, that it's not around my waist. It's a thing that maybe I need to get over...but for me...there's nothing better than having someone big & strong telling me it'll be okay. Not looking for anyone to save me, don't get me wrong...I just like to gaze face to face no matter ift we're standing, sitting or cuddling. Although I am tall and strong, there are times when I want to let go of that & feel enveloped in someone's arms. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 12:03:22 PM | I am 5ft 9" and i get both tall and short guys writing to me. I have tried dating a guy that was same height barefoot and it isn't being shallow I was just uncomfortable. It just doesn't feel comfortable.
I personally like to look up to my man and I like to wear heels when I go out.
For me I am definately attracted to tall males. Make me feel more like a lady!
Not many tall guys about NI!!! | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 12:29:23 PM | | You are right in a way. Short men usually do not have a problem with tall women. The problem lies in the tall woman who wants to put their head on the man's shoulder - if he's shorter, she can't without breaking her back stooping down. Not a comfortable position at all. Plus if you wear heels, it makes you tower over a shorter guy even worse. I'm a dancer and to try to dance with someone shorter is very difficult. In competition, it makes it even harder. I would love to find a tall man who can dance. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 12:39:16 PM | | I like all women! Short, tall, thin, round, etc. I don't have a problem with my height. The Ladies have a problem with my height. What I don't understand is, why a lady 5' tall wants a guy over 6' tall. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 5:02:17 PM | Im 5'11 and i seem to have no problem attracting men, both shorter and taller, some guys even want me in heels !!!! But i must say, i dont date men shorter than me unless its maybe an inch and hes gotta be a big beefcake !!!!!  | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 5:12:32 PM | | Well...I am 6'6 and I love tall women...they are just hard to come by! To me the taller the better....I think that its sexy! | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/13/2008 10:37:37 PM | | Ok, I think the men need to elaborate more. It seems majority of the men are saying they would love a tall woman. Yet, I agree with the comment from a lot of the women here that most men appear to go more 'ga ga' over the small petite women? When you fellas are saying you'd love a tall woman, I am wondering if your expectation of a tall woman is a gaunt runway model with 3% body fat? | |

Speaking only for myself, I can tell you that the tall women I have admired have run the gamut from thin-modellish to BBW. I am a face-first guy - a beautiful face is a beautiful face no matter if it belongs to Angelina Jolie or a BBW. And a lot of BBW's have a wonderful figure despite their weight - the curves are in all the right spots. Add tall to that mix and yeah, that's hot.
But I'm not "into" tall women any more than I am "into" short women or petite or plump or BBW or Latina or Asian or anything else...I guess you could say I have a woman fetish. :D | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/16/2008 7:01:43 PM | | I personally think that tall physically fit women are very attractive. There are a number of tall women (5'10 or taller) who work out at my gym and some of them are absolutely stunning. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 7/18/2008 4:43:55 PM | I use to seek out tall men only, because that was what I was use to, ,,, but I have found now, that height doesnt matter, Its what is in the heart,, And for that, I will continue to search for,, short or not so short,,  | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 8/9/2008 6:17:18 PM | "What I don't understand is, why a lady 5' tall wants a guy over 6' tall."
my last girlfriend, who is only 4 foot 12, was engaged to a guy over 6'2", and has hooked up w/ another...!
"I am a face-first guy - a beautiful face is a beautiful face no matter if it belongs to Angelina Jolie or a BBW..."
ditto!

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/16/2008 3:21:25 PM | | No, I find tall women attractive sometimes and short is good too. Fat , thin , young old. What's attractive is how you carry what you've got. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/16/2008 3:43:27 PM | | I am 6 ft 3 and my absolute number one thing I find attractive on a woman is if she's over 6 ft. However, I sincerely adore 5 ft 11 and a half as well :D | |

Satisfy? Never be scared to take on a challenge!
Bring on the tall women! Oo la la! And bring on the short women too! Hoo wee!!! But I usually leave the medium height ones on the shelf. ha ha ha | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 12:47:12 AM | I have noticed through out my life that shorter guys seem to ask me out more so than the tall ones. My daughter said to me the other day, 'I hope I am not as tall as you mum because you have less chance of finding a boyfriend'. Most tall interesting men are going out with ladies who seem to be just over 5 ft. I said to my daughter, 'This is the reason why I don't focus too much towards men. If a man is tall and I like him that is a wow! If men are too short I tend to feel abnormal and hunch to correct my hight to his, so as to be at least eye level, but really I want to stand tall and be proud of who I am, such a shame really. I don't know why most tall men seem to be with really short ladies, it has always puzzed me, maybe long legs are not what they like!!!  | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 1:18:35 AM | | I like woman to be at lest 5'5. Being 5 10 myself a woman taller then me is way to tall. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 5:12:53 AM | I like tall women, I am generally stuck dating shorter women because of where I live, but those are the breaks as they say, but I like a woman who is 5'10 -6'0, I have found that height to be about perfect, but its not a big deal, its not a deal breaker.

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 6:08:01 AM | | At nearly six three, I think its great to find a woman as tall as me or close, and wish some were even taller. | |

Perhaps you might want to re-read what you wrote up above with a just a little bit of self examination. I'm not sure what is sadder; that you think so little of yourself - or, that you are well on your way to ruining your daughter by perpetuating the cycles of self-hatred, and prejudice.
Your scathing indictment of the human condition as an unintended aphorism, is both succinct and alarming. It should be viewed as a clarion call to action if we are to have any hope of improving our social ills. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 1:52:22 PM | | I don't think I have ever dated a woman under 5'9". I like women as tall as possible, I am 6'8" and it is very nice to not feel like the only freak in public. lol | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/18/2008 2:12:24 PM | | I would have no problem dating a very tall woman. However since I'm 6' 1", there are very few women that are around my height. The tallest woman I ever dated was about 5' 9" or 5' 10". | |
