Careful little girl - you run the risk of receiving a retaliatory purple-nurple.
Actually, this is shaping up to be a fun date. I'll get the beer, and you bring the Bactine. Yahoo! | |

Posted: 1/25/2009 10:26:15 PM | I'm 5"12 and I Have an extreme Drive for women taller then me.
It makes sense because I am Ridiculously Confident and fearless.
I think it boils down to the phychology of a person. It's recorded in our evolution that our desirable mate has ALOT to do with our "Survival Value" and "Replication Value".
I believe on a primitive level, The "Tribal Leader" Or "Alpha Male" is best suited with a Taller more intimidating Women to best run the "tribe" or "Social Family Circle"
Bassicaly, Your DNA will be Hard wired to attract a mate that is congruent with your Evolution, Phychology and Mindset.
Besides, Tall girl's Usually Command High Social Value, I LOVE that. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 1:55:34 PM | | This subject really gets me mad, but I have identified the reason for this and its because in my home country of Northern Ireland men 6ft and over will mostly date women around the 5ft mark. For example, I was in Tesco last night doing a bit of shopping and seen an extremely handsome guy and he was about 6,6 and he was standing beside his girlfriend at 5ft and size 6. It just didnt look right. I know I will get a lot of backlash about this as the general opionion is its about personality, lol. Also on a local radio show a guy phoned in talking about his 6ft6 rugby playing mate was no longer available to play Rubgy Matches due to his new relationship with his demanding 5ft girlfriend. I am 5ft 9 and in my heels about 6ft and funnily enough I get men about 5ft 6 approach me in nightclubs so why will the taller men not approach me. My theory on this is that the men 6ft6 must be insecure about their height and they think that if they go out with a barbie doll sized women that it will make them look smaller when infact they look enormous compared to their girlfriends. I see these little and large couples everywhere! The only time I got approached by 6ft6 men was when i went to Sweden I got approached by really tall men in the Nightclubs. | |

Why would you have a problem with who somebody dates? Unless.....you prefer a tall man too. So why is it all right to have your preference, but a tall man cannot have his preference to a short woman? | |

My theory on this is that the men 6ft6 must be insecure about their height Incorrect, if guys are not approaching you it's more likely because they probably aren't attracted to you. A tall woman can increase her chances of meeting guys she is attracted to if she takes some initiative and becomes proactive and approaches guys she likes. This ain't rocket science. | |

Uhhh.... REAL men do! I don't care how tall a man is, and he shouldn't care how tall I am; as long as we are attracted to one another, height is just another attribute to embrace. I am 5' 10 1/2", so that puts me at around 6' 2" with rockin' heels on. I notice how short(er) guys will not look at me in the face as we pass in a store or social function, and it appears that they are put off by my height. I don't ask them about it, because I figure they are already uncomfortable in that scenario.
I will tell you that I LOVE being this height, and if I had my druthers, I'd be 6' 2" flat-footed! I enjoy the ability to see farther, gain a pound or two and not be crying and swearing off all that I love to eat. I enjoy being secure in my humanity, in my being, in my presence, and in my world of stares by others that cannot imagine that their genetics would not ever produce such a statuesque facsimile of themselves without growth hormones.
Ultimately, it is human nature for people to stop and gawk at people who are different from themselves. What I find curious is that, in this age and culture, that "men" maintain some preconceived idea that women should be weak and small. Believe me, if Nature had her way, as opposed to manmade remedies for deadly illnesses, it is very possible that tall would be the norm, and not simply for males of the species.
I cannot speak for short men (the average American male is 5' 9"), but I can tell you that, as a tall woman, I have been approached by men of varying heights who took no issue with my ability to treat them as artfully and sensually as any average-height woman. In essence, a woman's height has absolutely nothing to do with anything except a guy's puny ego. | |

Posted: 2/6/2009 8:27:52 PM | It's tough to generalize. From observation, one can note common traits, but even then, only the broadest of generalizations are going to be remotely useful, and are still going to buckle under the least bit of investigative pressure.
Statistically speaking, it would seem that women have more of an issue with height than men do. Exceptions obviously exist, as they love making their presence known in threads like this, but it doesn't remove the statistical fact that women seem to require men to be taller than they are.
This is often adjusted due to the milieu in which people are meeting. Being online allows us to literally represent ourselves at our best; we can take as long as we individually need to write out the "perfect" profile, we can appear realistic and humble in noting our faults while downplaying them via the language used to note them. We can post only the pictures that turned out the best (and as someone who is, while average or, to some, above-average in appearance, I can say that I'm generally quite unphotogenic; I just don't take pictures I'm happy with; I find about 1 in 10 pictures of me that I'm willing to show others), we carefully weigh out which of our pastimes we should note, etc.
In such an idealized setting, people create elevated expectations, not quite realizing that with each new "preference" or "requirement" they list in their profile, they're getting one step closer to not finding that very person, because each additional filter is just one more line item on the Frankenstein's Monster list of the "perfect mate".
Things work differently when you meet in person, even with people who have height issues. In person, personality can immediately outweigh undesirable traits. A woman can post in her profile or via the threads on the forums that she requires a man to be so many inches taller than she is, but if she's approached on the street by someone charismatic, funny, and generally well-presented, she might not even notice his height in relation to hers until she has time, perhaps after they've already had coffee, to reflect on everything that led to her meeting him.
For me personally, height isn't an issue. It's not something a person can control (without very expensive, and apparently very painful, surgery, called "bone stretching"), unlike weight, hairstyle, clothing, eye color, etc. Since it can't be controlled, it's a non-issue for me. I'm either 5'8" or 5'9" (I've been found at both, and every person who's measured me has sworn up one side and down the other that their measurements were accurate), and I'd be as happy to date a woman over 6 feet as I would a woman under 5 feet if the connection were there, and I really liked being around her.
It's one thing to discriminate based on weight; barring statistically rare genetic conditions, weight is something controllable, and is also a general indicator of many other factors in a person's life. I take the long-term view: a lady who's grossly overweight is likely to live a shorter amount of time, is at higher risk for heart illness or the onset of Type 2 Diabetes, and in every case, just makes me think "Here's this awesome person, but she won't be around as long as she could be, so why should I set myself up for that heartache?"
I don't require a woman to be in perfect shape. I don't require a woman to be built like Megan Fox (truth be told, I don't find her all that attractive; I go for more of the Jenna Fischer type), I just ask that she isn't built like Roseanne Barr.
Height is a non-issue for me. I'm secure in who I am as a person, so insecurities over a woman being taller than me aren't going to enter into the picture. | |

Posted: 2/6/2009 8:51:26 PM | geeze, is this thread still going on? OP must be married and outta here already. i wonder what his stats are!
i probably said it somewheres in here before. i've dated much shorter and much taller. most has been started up in "real life". so maybe, it's the internet that is the problem.
smart is smart and sexy is sexy. not sure that correlates with height. just go and see what happens! if standing is an issue, get a chair. 
ps sometimes blaming it all on the "height" is a form of denial. if you are wimpy or gawky or not in good physical shape that will "attract", or if you're personality is a bit wierd, maybe that's the REAL issue. but, that all is adjustable. but, that all takes "work". | |

Posted: 3/12/2009 7:17:19 PM | You know what, I think generally speaking, if there was some kind of survery going on asking the Male population whether or not they liked Tall Women, I bet you that the 'YES' response would be over 50%....! I really do believe a large majority of men would really love to be with a taller woman.....:-) Those that are *intimidated*, all they need to have is a communication of comfort level with that taller woman....Me myself, I am 5' 10", and I have always felt very much attracted to taller women than myself....I love all women, but I do have to say, I just can't get enough of a tall woman......I also on the other hand, believe, that a "Majority" of *Taller* Women, would prefer a Man that is not shorter than she is......I have tried on many of dates to seek a taller women, and they *continually* tell me they would much rather date someone taller......it is a *Safe* feeling they say they get with a man as Tall or taller than they are....and I am talking about women I have tried to date that were around 5'8" and up....they tell me when they have Heels on, they want the guy to look Over them......At least, these are my own personal thoughts on this.....don't have any facts to go on though........I think deep down, Men Love Dating Taller Women, because they feel somewhat of a *sexual* dominance factor........just my views.....but, give me a Tall women that kisses good, has a Great Heart, and I will melt in her hands.....:-) | |

Posted: 3/13/2009 1:16:17 AM | I'm came from a very tall family, so as a result, I am a 6'2" female. It's good to see a post from a man that is secure in himself and knows what he wants.
Peace!

Posted: 3/13/2009 3:02:44 PM | Tall women are myths as far as I am concerned. Apart from my sister I have never come across a female that is anything close to 6ft. I would LOVE to date a tall lady but they just do not exist. I think it must be something to do with the water here in East Anglia.

Posted: 3/13/2009 3:07:13 PM | | I love all women, whether she's 4'0 or 7'0. I once went on a date with a girl that was over 6'0 tall. Didn't bother me at all and she was a blast, too bad it never worked out because I chose not to play the game. | |

Posted: 3/13/2009 10:34:03 PM | I'm 6' even, and definitely prefer short women - 5' 4" is the perfect height in my opinion but even less would be cool. If I look like an absolute mountain standing next to my woman, that's exactly the way I like it.
As an aside, I was with an ex-Lane Bryant model from New York for three years, she was 5' 11" and a half... | |

Posted: 3/14/2009 2:05:31 AM | I often find it amusing that someone would say "men don't like tall women", when nearly every man I've met in my life, when the issue was even discussed, didn't much care one way or the other how tall a lady was; more often than not, men have to deal with women having unreasonable height expectations for men, not the other way around.
I don't much personally care how tall a woman is. I care about who she is, how well we're going to get along, what degree of common interests there are, what degree of similar personalities there are so that we can overcome the areas where our interests don't cross paths, and other sundry things that tell me whether a lady is long-term relationship material or not. Yes, attraction plays a part in things. Very few on this site's forums say otherwise.
But the height thing? It statistically seems to be an issue for women much moreso than for men. The amusing thing, to me, are the excessive lengths so many ladies will go to attempt to defend their height bias when someone takes the time to logically dissect their position and point out its fallacy.
Height preference? Nothin' wrong.
Height requirement? Shallowness. There is no degree of complaint to the contrary which can change this basic reality. | |

Posted: 3/16/2009 1:17:46 AM | | i hate the height thing! i'm tall and big and it's okay to be one or the other but not both at the same time it, seems. all tall chicks are supposed to be skinny and all fat chicks are supposed to be short. well hell, i'm SOL i guess. lol, whatever though. | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 4:35:15 PM | I totally agree with you on that one! I am a tall woman and have been taller than anyone around me since I was 13 ! As a teen, it bothered me quite a bit. And, today, as a mature woman, I am proud to be who I am with HIGH HEELS ! When I walk into a place, people notice !
Enough with my tallness (is that a word? lol) ... I have always been approached by shorter men ... and I mean much shorter than I ... I was married to a 5'5'' man for 7 years and being 5'8'' ... well couldn't wear my heels for a long time ...
I think that opposite attracts ... it's as simple as that ... | |
