Posted: 5/10/2009 10:30:18 PM | | It's very unfortunate for guys 5'10 and under, truthfully, I think it's an ancient, basic, rudimentary law of attraction. I think women like to feel feminine, protected, and safe when they are with their man, and if their man is shorter or a lot smaller/lighter than average, or at least than themself, it's a turn off. I am 5'6 and a very independent and strong woman, even physically. So I want a man who is stronger and tougher than I am. For me it has nothing to do with reaching something off a top shelf, but has everything to do with knowing I have a partner who can defend me if it becomes necessary. | |

Yes unfortunately he did. Grabbed a pillow and a gun and shot through the pillow into his chest. So sad. He couldn't handle being short like he was anymore. So "Who" magazine quoted.. | |

Posted: 5/11/2009 3:08:13 AM | Being relativly tall myself I havent had to deal with that. It seems that it is just one of those things that is the "society norm" Will it soon chang? Unlikely. I can say that I dont like my dates to be alot taller than me, but there are exceptions to every rule.
Preference is the key word my friend. Kepp looking and you will find a woman that likes shorties | |

Posted: 5/11/2009 3:34:38 AM | | Personally myself, I'm only 5 foot and I would love to find a short man. I would rather not have a man over 6 foot cause I don't want to have him get on his knees just for me to kiss him. So, I would be very happy and lucky to find a man around 5'5 or so. Sadly, it seems as if there are none around my parts! :) lol | |

Posted: 5/11/2009 5:25:00 AM | | I am 6 ft and my partner is about 5'11 and i hate it. I look like bigfoot next to him, cant wear all my nice heels and feel like a freak of nature in general because of it LOL still love him madly tho :) I used to date a guy 6'2 and another one 6'6 and i guess for a girl who is 6 ft tall it felt great to feel like i was the smaller one kwim? I felt like a girl with the tall ones. feminine. Best way i can explain it lol | |

Posted: 5/11/2009 7:26:55 AM | Height will always be an issue for some folks. But like the poster above me said, dating is difficult or at least can be difficult for everyone no matter the height. All of my girlfriends have been taller than me so go figure.. One is better off alone than with someone that will make/him her miserable anyway. It is also pretty obvious that anyone can find their match though because, look at all the variety we have in this world.  If she says no just move on to the next one. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 6:32:03 AM | | I have a friend who is 5-2 and he has had so many more girlfriends than some of my taller friends who are like 6' and above. I'm 5-6 and I've only had 2 gf's, but I think it's got nothing to do with my height and everything to do with my nerdiness/asianness/lack-of-confidence. I think while height is important in initial attraction, being short becomes less of a problem when the girl is also short and also after the girl gets to know the guy a little better. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 3:40:12 PM | | I think height is generally more important online than offline. Online, many women wouldn't even give a man a chance if he is under a certain height. Offline, women may be more likely to overlook height if they like a man's overall package. Personally height doesn't matter to me. I'm 5' 8" and I have dated a few men who were about 5' 6" or 5' 7". I wouldn't turn down a man simply because he was 1-2 inches shorter than me. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 3:52:50 PM | | Like I said in another post similar to this I have a friend at school who is a dwarf and he has women all over him. I am 5' 0" and I get grief from women all the time about my height and the fact that I have wheels on my butt. Go figure. | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 3:53:30 PM | | I'm only 5'0 ft. tall so I'm short and I don't mind dating short guys as long he's cute and handsome ;). The shortest guy I've dated was 5'7 and I like it because I don't have to wear high heels. I've dated 5'7 ft. to 6'2 ft. tall. If I'm going out with someone who are very tall, I have to wear high heels though I'm not comfortable wearing it. But I guess some guys doesn't care about the woman's height. | |

Actually, I have a weakness for all the above...in a perfectly formed, albeit diminutive package. | |

Okay, maybe I'm reading this wrong but....you're independent and strong...yet, you want a guy who can defend you? Why not just learn to defend yourself? After all, even if your guy is bigger and stronger than you, it'd be much harder for him to defend you (and himself, of course) if facing multiple attackers. | |

Posted: 6/8/2009 10:18:10 AM | I've Noticed this problem myself. Height really doesn't bother me.
Im only 5'9", and have mainly dated girls shorter than me, but dated one girl who is very special in my heart was 6'4", and she loved wearing her 8" platform heels, that made her 7ft (i used to love it lol). She used to tower over me with those heels on, and when we kissed, i just tilted my head right back, and she leaned forard, it wern't a problem. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 7:36:26 PM | I've been on and off this site for over a year now. Currently just for the forums and that is due to the responses many of the women provide in these forums regarding height. While it's true everyone is entitled to their preferences it is unfortunate (and to an extent a waste of time) for men like myself (at 5'-7") who are not of a certain minimum height. Because the large percentage of women wanting a taller man.
The average height of U.S. females is 5'-4" and if they want their man to be taller than them when they wear say 4" heels then any man under 5'-9" is automatically and unequivocally ruled out.
Women often times view a smaller statured man as weak and less sexually potent. They are often times "turned off" by the sight of a "little man" that they consider "less" of a man.
Many women would be embarassed to be seen with a short man and may settle for him if nothing else better comes along.
Height is a starting mark or prerequisite for which a man will be judged as being "datable" and lack of height is grounds for automatic exclusion more than any other factor. A woman will tolerate a man with a moderate drinking or drug problem before she will ever tolerate a short man.
I know not everyone will agree with what I've said and truthfully I could care less because these are my observations based on personal experiences with women who have been quite tough. And that is a kind description. | |

Thankfully, some folks use their frontal lobes for mate selection, so there's hope my friend. | |

I am 5'6 and a very independent and strong woman, even physically. So I want a man who is stronger and tougher than I am.
So a shorter guy cannot be strong or tough? I guarantee that I am stronger and tougher than you are. And probably stronger and tougher than most guys taller than me. I am at the gym 5 - 6 days a week doing both weight lifting and cardio. Kind of strange to me that you would want some skinny 6 foot tall guy as opposed to a shorter but physically stronger guy. Your logic is flawed.
For me it has nothing to do with reaching something off a top shelf, but has everything to do with knowing I have a partner who can defend me if it becomes necessary.
Another flawed piece of logic. How many times in your life has it been necessary for a man to physically defend you? And if that moment does ever arrive it is far more about a man's attitude and willingness to engage than it is about his height. In my life I have backed down many a guy taller than myself simply by exuding a willingness to engage.
Your rationalization is embarrassing. why not simply say you are not attracted to shorter men. We all have preferences and that is ok. However, to deny your preferences and hide them behind some bullsh*t excuses is inexcusable.
Just be honest, it is ok to have preferences. | |
