Posted: 10/26/2007 11:39:33 AM | | I think it works both ways. I'm 5' 7" try to date a woman 5' 11" who has "issues" with the height difference. I've also dated someone 5' 10" who had to same issues, but also dated a 6' 0" amazon who how no issue with it whatsoever. Think it comes down to how you value society's view of what a perfect couple look like or if you're secure enough to make your own rules. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 11:52:13 AM | From my experience, a lot of the time girls that are shorter are attracted to taller guys. my best friend is 6'6" and 230lbs... Tiny girls seem to pay him quite a bit of attention, more than they do the average height guys. So, since they approach him or at least respond positively when he approaches them, he has good luck with shorter girls.
I think the OP might have a bit of a "chicken or egg" conundrum there... Does he date shorter girls because he's attracted to them more so than taller girls, or does he date shorter girls because they ask him out on dates (or say "yes" when he asks them) more often than taller girls do? A lot of the time, when we're out and about, taller girls seem to brush him off as "just another guy" hitting on them. And, let it be known that he DOES approach taller girls first.
Now for a lesson in selective breeding and human subconscious behavior (these are guidelines, not rules obviously):
People tend to be attracted to partners who appear to have characteristics in their genes that they may be lacking. It's nature's subtle way of regulating a species' general characteristics. Short people tend to gravitate towards taller partners to average out the future generation's genetics. Average people tend to gravitate towards similarly average people. Now obviously this is far from divine mandate. There are a billion aspects of a relationship that this doesn't account for, but it IS a subconscious process that is playing in the background of these things..
That's about enough writing for one day...

this reply is about 17 months after you last posted on this, so maybe you've found a tall guy and are happily dating, rather than being frustrated. if so, i'm glad for you  
As for tall women with tall men, I guess you could say that "size really does matter"... but I suppose some guys don't worry about it.
Either they are tall and every woman is "shorter", so it's just a matter of how much ...
Or they're short and taller women are intimidating ... but, how ridiculous is that?
I suppose it's quite different from a woman's point of view.
Actually, for things like dancing, talking face to face while standing, walking in stride with one another ... and many other activities, matching (at least somewhat) in height is definitely an advantage!
So on that aspect, I agree with you. As for me, I try to date someone within a maximum of 12 inches from my height, either way, but about 6 inches is preferred, so at least one of us can wear heels if we want. LOL javascript:smilie('')
javascript:smilie('') ... just kidding about heels. I couldn't walk, even for a halloween gag!
btw, I am 6ft 5 in so i can speak from experience about height.
feel free to write back and tell me if this helps or not ...
later,

Posted: 10/26/2007 12:13:03 PM | All I can contribute here is what I've seen personally - here and overseas. I see a lot of women ...say... 5'8" and taller with guys around 5'9-5'10". and short women (like myself approx. 5'1") with guys 6 ft plus.
The shorter guys do not ask me out. The tall ones absolutely do.
Go figure. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 1:15:04 PM | | For me, it's more about who someone is and that they are attracted to me, versus my going out and seeking tall women. So, if you're tall and want a tall man, approach us too! I don't have anything against tall women who are what I am attracted to. I weigh 218, and if a woman outweighs me, it's not what I'm attracted to since I carry a fair amount of muscle.....and they likely aren't! It's a case-by-case thing though; if I'm attracted, then I'd go out with her. But as far as restricting myself to just tall women? Why would I do that; there are so many great women out there who I'm attracted to, why should I only go for the tall ones if I can date the ones I'm attracted to, regardless? Besides, it's about the persona moreso than just simply being tall. So much of a relationship is what goes on via interaction, not our physical similitude when standing near one another. Like a 4'11" gal once told me......we're a lot closer in height laying down! I tend to like taller women though......but was engaged to a 5'0 Japanese woman at one time, so obviously height is not the only factor. Plus, we get approached by a lot more short women than tall ones.......a lot more..... | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 1:56:35 PM | It's a false premise, tall men date tall women, tall men date short women, and I get a kick out of being with women who are taller than me.
I don't know, but I wonder what you are really saying here, let me guess, 'The tall guys are stealing all the average height women that should be mine.' We guys tend to exteranlise our own issues... 'women only date tall men' is just such an example... yet we've all known little short guys with women queueing up to jump on his bones for no strings sex... it's charisma, personality, damn sexiness that makes it so for them, and a being gifted with women.
I believe you might be saying you're having a hard time in the dating game... and want a woman to say.... 'man that's really tough, it makes me so angry I'm going to come right round and give you a great big sympathy s h a g you poor sex starved darling.'
But the women really respond is to say: 'God what a loser....'
Ask any woman, but she won't tell you that truth.... you'd jus say she was a total b i t c h if she did.... so she won't.
My sincere tuppence worth

Posted: 10/26/2007 1:59:38 PM | | I am 6 ft and I prefer a short women but I have dated woman of all heights. The great thing about dating a tall woman is I don't have to adjust the seat all the time if we drive the same car. | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 2:00:53 PM | You might be right-- have noticed that too --But it is a 2 wa street!
It could be in part because shorter women (under 5 foot 7 or so) reject guys under 5' 11' -- think about for s moment --ladies? | |
|
| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 10/26/2007 2:05:18 PM | | Because most men will not limit themselves to a certain height preferences and there are many attractive women shorter than 6 feet. I would assume that the competition is fierce for those over 6 feet. I don't see many taller men complaining about their lack of choices. Perhaps you should think about expanding your criteria. But then that would be settling right? | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 2:11:21 PM | | I love tall women. Its just not #1 criteria. You need to lighten up re shorter men. As a good frined of mine said (who just married a shorter guy.) "If you require a guy to be taller than you, you are sure limiting your choices." | |
|
| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 10/26/2007 2:57:40 PM | Why should a tall woman have to lighten up on her preference? I am 5'10" - I like to wear heels - I PREFER a man who is taller than I am - I have dated men that are my height, or a little bit shorter - But I am sorry, I have absolutely no desire to date a man that is 5'2" - I don't want to feel like the jolly green giant next to the man I am dating. I could care less what anyone else's personal preference is - That is why it is a personal preference. Why does it bother men so much that I don't want to date a shorter man? And why do men that are shorter think that constantly bombarding me with emails will get me to change my mind?
Sorry apirate, but you hit on a real pet peeve of mine - I will be friends with anyone - regardless of race, sexuality, height, etc... but for a relationship that I am hoping will be something more intimate - sorry, I have my wants.  | |

Posted: 10/26/2007 2:59:10 PM | 5' 11" woman here, taking ALL applications from 6'2" plus men ! :)
The op notices that all the tall men want the shorter women, and based on all the men that contact me it seems that may be true... because rarely does a TALL man contact me.
Ohhh well.... lol | |

...rarely does a TALL man contact me.
Perhaps that's because you've no picture posted and have "just here for the forums" plastered across your profile.
Just a thought.

I've always dated shorter women.
Just a preference. I like my shorties.
I like me tallies. For me, anything over 5'7" is tall.
Sorry... couldn't resist.  | |

Posted: 10/28/2007 8:53:01 AM | I'm 6'6" and I would love to date a tall gal. 
I've dated much shorter girls/women, but it would be nice, to be able to kiss someone without bending waaaaaay down, or nearly getting a crick in your neck. :)
I remember two gorgeous, tall girls from high school. Tried to date one, and she basically just blew me off, the other was dating a really short guy (???). I even msged one on here, complimented her on her height and beauty, but didn't seem to get much back. :/ | |

I applaud you for standing your ground. As a tall woman you should not have to waiver at all on what you like in your men, as no one else should either!!
We all have our attractions that we are drawn to, and a persons height is just another one of these, just as we are attracted to a persons physical build such as being thin, or muscular or even athletic or even plumpness. We know what we are attracted to by now as individuals, and shouldn't have to settle on this if we so choose.
Granted I realize we will not find everything that we like in a single person, but it's up to us as individuals to determine with of these we will compromise on and which ones we will not. | |

| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 10/28/2007 10:56:36 AM | | There are two basic reasons. One is that women are attracted to tall guys. That means a tall guy will have a lot of freedom to choose which girl to date. Sometimes, the girl he chooses to date is not within his height range. The other reason is that there is a common belief that in a relationship or a "just dating" situation, the girl is supposed to be shorter than the guy. I'm sure there is an evolutionary, cultural, or biological explanation for that, but due to pressures from society, people end up doing what they're "supposed to" do. | |

Posted: 10/28/2007 11:25:05 AM | First and foremost we should be with someone that we are "comfortable" with, and hopefully it has more to do with who that person is and makes us feel than physical stature........but at the same time society shouldn't dictate to us who we are with.
If a persons height is determined by us as individuals as a deal breaker.......then that is our choice and no one elses.
Just for the record, my being 6'6" I am very attracted to tall women, but unfortunately haven't had much of a selction of tall women in my area. Looking back over the years, I have only dated a very few women over 5'10" . | |
