| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 12:27:40 AM | Try being a short guy! I am 5'6" tall and so I am automatically eliminated by the tall women...most of them anyways. I dated a tall woman once for almost a month....everything was good, until she told me that the height difference was too much for her. (apparently she was listening to other peoples comments)
So for the women upset that men do not like tall ladies...it does work both ways. Some of us short guys do not care about height, but get discriminated against by taller women. 
It is a miracle our species did not die out long ago with this fussiness!!
Take care and good luck to all!

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 2:56:23 AM | I'm 5"9' -- and I so love taller men -- and if there good looking ** bonus**
any out there, as bored as me? | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:11:27 AM | | They make us feel like less of a man when they are taller than us. It's also the same as women not liking short men. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:35:10 AM | | On the contrary, I've always liked taller women. I'm 5'11", but most of the woman i have dated were either shorter than me or exactly my height, though I did date a woman that was a couple inches taller than me and it didn't bother me at all. In fact I really like women to be my height or even taller. So don't get too uptight about men not liking tall women , there are quite a few of us men that do like taller women. | |

But seriously, I rarely date men who are more then an inch shorter then me. It just feels odd. I like to look up into his eyes, slide my hands up around his neck or lay my head on his chest. It's almost impossible to do this with a much smaller man. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 4:27:13 AM | Egads, just saw the initial post, and have bypassed reading the rest just to say that the hottest woman I was ever involved with, and I am not a height obsessive in the least and had never had a woman taller than me before, was 6' 2", with dyed bright red hair! So there. Attraction is attraction, manouverability was fun to work out initially, but it was sorted soon enough, great times were had. That is the extent of my arguement. Its New Years Eve in Oz, 10:30pm, I am in a house full of strange people, my houseshare, arghhhh, my poor head. Anyway, tall women rock, just from that one experience, but still. Anyway, from most of the women I know, friends and the like, they mainly like guys who are taller than them. What does this prove? Buggered if I know.

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:18:47 PM | | This is a bit of an old post but I thought I'd reply because I've had many discussions with friends over this one. I am 6'5 and a half. So I'm pretty tall and I've always been the tallest through school and at work. I definately prefer shorter woman, always have. How short you say as this is relative? Between 5' and 5'8" is the best for me personally. And why? I truly believe it's because I like to feel that I'm the protector of the person I'm seeing. The knight in shining armor. As macho and sexist as that sounds I truly think that's the truth. I also like the idea that I can toss her around in the bedroom but that's another matter. haha. Serious though, taller woman don't repulse me or anything like that. It's just a matter of preference. If she was super nice and she was tall I wouldn't just not date her because of that! OMG that would just be the stupidest thing ever. I also think that a apart of it is because my dad is taller than my mom and a son usually takes after his father a bit. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:28:33 PM | | i LOVE taller women. I'm sure it's because I'm 6'2 but i'd much more prefer a girl with long legs over one that hurts your back to kiss lol | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:37:42 PM | I think I resent being referred to as a pygmy but, what would a post from sniper be like without an insult to someone ha
Most of the tall fellas I know like to date tall women.....

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 3:41:30 PM | pygmy? good lord! hey good things come in small packages as well - I dated someone who was shorter than me - the most fun person I ever dated. Guess everyone has their own preferences - I always wanted to date a much taller (I am 5.5) - and never thought I would date someone shorter - but I was glad I did. When it comes to a fun person, the height isn't a concern with me. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 12/31/2005 4:34:09 PM | | I would have to say it has nothing persay to do with you.Men want to feel dominante and if you can meet them eye to eye somehow they feel less above you.I know it sounds sexest but that is men.Do you turn down the short men that approach you?If so you are doing the same as those men who don't even give you a second look because of your height. | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 9:24:48 AM | Gee, I didn't know that I didn't like tall girls! Wow what a relief, all this time I couldn't figure things out and magically the air has been cleared. Okay, now that we have made our smartass comment for 2006, and broken New Years resolution #1 we can be serious. Yes Tall men like Tall women. I am 6'7'' and this is my take on what is going on. Tall Women are more fun to cuddle and hold hands with. You can slow dance with them and not look silly. You can stand and look them in the eye while you are talking to them, oh wait that might not be a good thing scratch that!lol! Short or tall I'm happy with either so long as your are warm and personable, smart and attractive and you like similar things that I like, don't smoke, and are fun to be around. That sounds pretty good to me!  | |

| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 10:52:02 AM | I'm an odd duck here..I don't give a rats ass about height. ( 2006 is all about the animals huh?) But some men just have strong preferences period... | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 10:55:50 AM | | Tall and short are both subjective in the viewers eyes. I'm not tall, or short....but then again it never mattered to me. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 10:57:39 AM | NOT A PROBLEM HERE. I'M SIX THREE. THE TALLER THE BETTER. PUT HER IN HEELS, AND I'LL PUT MY CABOY BOOTS ON. WHEN I SEE A TALL WOMAN, WITH A SHAPE TO MATCH, CLEAR THE WAY BOY'S, A MAN IS APPROACHING. EVEN IF SHE WOULD BE TALLER THAN I. I'D PUT MY TRACK SHOE'S ON TO GET BETTER TRACTION IN BED. BRING IT ON, BRING IT ON TALL WOMAN. WRAP THOSE LONG LEGS AROUND ME. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 12:29:52 PM | | How about being 5'5 and being approached by 5'2 and under? I'd like to meet taller than 5'6, but for some reason, I attract the shorties. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 12:51:28 PM | | Ohhhhhhh!!!!!! That's why they look at my hands and my feet. Very Large,,,Very Large. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 1:04:45 PM | | I'd personally love to date someone 5'10 or taller, but i never meet any that I get along with mentally. bah | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 1:07:18 PM | My interests are diverse: height, weight, age (all of those appearance issues) do not count for as much as the depth of your individual character. Sorry if I'm being redundant or cliche, but just look at me (if you have a strong stomach ); I'm not good looking, but I'm brilliant, entertaining... and, gosh darn it, people like me | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 3:58:42 PM | There's a few guys who are intimidated by tall women but most men I know love them
I'm 5'11" barefoot and I have a closet full of 3-4" heels *grins* | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 4:07:16 PM | I'm 5'10, and I've never had a problem with attracting men. Yes, a lot of short guys are interested, but a lot of tall men like that they don't have to bend down to kiss me.
My honey is 6'5, and he digs my height. | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 4:08:30 PM | | I am more attracted to curvy women above 5' 8", so I'm with you falltopieces. My ex wife was 5' 11" and I just loved what she could do with those long legs! | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 4:33:18 PM | If men don't like tall women, that's news to me. I am 6' tall and get emails and dates from guys in all shapes and sizes. I can't change my height and would never try. I love being tall - I get noticed!! I will date any man who has no problem with my height and if people stare, let 'em!!
Like sweetpeajulia said: [It takes a special kind of guy who's confident enough to approach a tall girl.] | |
|
| Men don't like TALL women Posted: 1/1/2006 4:44:29 PM | Well here is another way to look at it. Date a small person if your tall. When facing each other and your toe to toe, his nose will be there. When your nose to nose, his toe's will be there. Can't loose!!! | |
