That is just such crap, i personally only like taller women and just don't consider the shorties as a potential partner. However there are lots of weird and wonderful tastes out there so even the tuckshop lady arms have admirers, lol and lets not forget the smelly used pantyhose sniffers. Lauren jackson is one sexy lady and she towers over me. Best of luck but keep an open mind and love may just happen despite your head being in the clouds.

Now wait one minute!! I'm 6' 2" and my ex-wife was 4' 11"!! After nine years of a miserable marriage, I'ld love to try again. Only with someone more my height. The taller the better, I'ld love a lady that could lay her head against my shoulder. And I'm sure that I"m not the only one that feels this way. So SweePeaJulia, I'm sorry you feel this way but not all men feel the way you're feeling they do hon. I dont know how tall you are but I'ld sure welcome you. You wouldnt believe some of the funny and smart remarks my ex and I received when we were first dating and married. Those days are behind me, so I only have my future to look forward to. Take care Juilia, I'm Michael in Indiana!

I have found that I'm usually contacted by men who are either the same height as I am (5'10") or men who are shorter than I am. I do prefer dating men who are taller than I am, mainly because I enjoy dressing up occasionally and wearing heels.

As to the comment about 6' tall women not being as shapely as a 5' something woman; hogwash!

Gee, I thought I'd keep this thread alive with another post, LOL.

I generally look for women within my height range, 5'4" to 5'10" with my height at 5'8''.
But then I come from a family where all of the men are no taller than I am now and all of the women are between 4'10" and 5'4". But I DO notice that tall women tend to state their preferred heights of dating prospects in their profiles--equal heights or taller than themselves.

But I have to share this experience that's happened to me recently worth mentioning here. I frequent a few night clubs near where I live and started to notice this tall, attractive woman (6'2") showing up with her shorter girlfriend (maybe 5'6"). I like to watch live music and dance and noticed the two of them dancing together.

As the night wore on, I noticed nobody was asking the taller women to dance--just the shorter friend. I said to myself, "to hell with it" and went up and asked her to dance.
Her face lit up and we danced about 4 more times that night. She even asked if her girlfriend could join us a few times. Hell, do you think I care? Uh, no!

Nothing more has ever come out of that experience. Well, except I see them there on occasion (not every week) and I remember their names. And the tall girl feels comfortable enough to come up and ask ME to dance (it's happened 3x since). I've never had more fun with a tall girl. :) OK, I confess...I'm converted now.

General statements are very general. Everyone has their taste in men/women and physical appearances.

I think you got it pretty much figured. I have dated both. I am not really tall, 5'11' , and there are definate advantages to both.

That said...I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TALL WOMEN :)

I just do! Can't explain it. Love it even if they are taller than me!

Bring on the tall ones :)

My great-grandma was like 4'8" and my great-grandpa was 6'2". We still have her little deluxe rocking chair she used to use. This love match is why I got to 5'7" but wish I were taller.

I have yet to meet a man though who is gaga over my height but nobody seems to mind it, very ordinary height.

I find tall women to be more shapely.

Also find tall women, don't like tall men.

Height doesnt matter to me, although I was only with 1 woman that was my height or maybe an inch taller than me. Taller women arent as common as the women below 6 feet.

I'm 5'2" and fairly small (around 115, give or take a pound). I've found super tall guys to be really attracted to me for some reason. In fact, my ex is 6'8". Yes, we looked strange together

Anyway, I've had a lot of tall guys tell me they prefer really short women for some reason. I have no idea why. Please, enlighten me.

Ok....

I am a bit of an oddball here, but I am most attracted to girls 4'11" to 5'5" and 5'8" to 6'

I like girls who are noticably taller than me, or noticably shorter than me.

I tend to go for the shorter girls because I like slender framed women, and most taller women have average frames.

The reasons for this are simple. Preference first of all. Second, I am a CUDDLE WHORE. I must have someone who fits me well for cuddling, and in my experience the standards I just wrote down does the trick.

Your mileage may vary, but I am more than self confident enough to date a woman taller than me. Not only that, if you're in a relationship for long enough with someone, you really stop noticing their height. My x wife was 5' tall and after I'd been with her for about 2 years, I stopped noticing how short she was and had to be reminded sometimes to get her a steppy stool so she could reach things.

I've dated and have a slight crush on taller women. Due to the heel thing and the wanting to feel "feminine", these ladies are few and far between for me. And that's cool. I understand. But I love tall, lanky women with a little muscle on them. Nothing hotter.
One of the best relationships I ever had was with a girl that was 6'1. We had a blast. Unfortunately, life didn't have us in the cards, but hell, I would worn the heels at our wedding and been perfectly happy to do so!

^^^^^ And I'll bet you would've worn MANolo Blahnik's.

I used to think only a taller man could make me feel more feminine but a couple of bf's in the 5'7" to 5'9" range proved me wrong.

I am tall also and I agree, it seems that shorter men find us tall women very very attractive and the taller men dont seem to approach us as much. I of course speaking from my own experiences. I think part of it is that most of us tall women either have tons of confidence because we took a beating for being taller than everyone else growing up or because we are constantly reminded that we are tall, and called models etc. and that confidence can sometimes come across as being mean or stand offish and men dont find it attractive....i did have one tall man tell me that he was used to being the center of attention and he didnt want a tall woman because she would steal his "shine"

I'm 6'4" and find it difficult to approach taller women. Dont know why exactly because I do find taller girls very attractive, but when you're this tall and are *always* looking down on other women it's a weird feeling to have one look you square in the eye for once. I do like to dance with taller girls though - but subconsciously maybe it has to do with imagining having sex... elbows and kneecaps in all directions, like two giraffes getting it on?!? Maybe its because women like tall guys and when you're closer in height you feel like there's less advantage in it? IDK, but personally speaking I'd say its true.

Wait, you said tall guys overlook you, but you get approached by short guys, and you said that must be because you intitmidate the taller guys, but you don't intimidate the shorter guys? What? That didn't make any sense. Maybe you're just ugly :)
