| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 9/13/2008 10:46:28 AM | I recently participated in a local speed dating event where all the guys had to be on the tall side to attend. There was no restriction on the women who could attend but only a handful were very tall.
It was a perfect opportunity for tall women to meet tall men...but few took advantage of it... | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 10:50:57 AM | | I just think there is ALOT more of the shorter women around and they are more out spoken and they don't shy away as much as the taller ladies. I have sent messages to plenty of tall women but they don't seem to reply. So maybe all the shorter women are hitting the REPLY button !!! | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 11:03:24 AM | 1. I am tall.
2. I reply.
3. None of you tall seeking men are in my area.
Toe to toe and your nose is in it. Nose to nose and your toes are in it???
Ok now that is out of the way...lol...there is a club for tall people. Many have married other club members. For a woman you have to be at least 5 foot 8 to join. For a man you have to be at least 6 foot. I saw it on the learning channel (TLC-Cable).
I am tall at 6 foot. I date em tall I date em short. I am just happy to date. But some of the shorter ones make me walk way away from them in public because they are worried how people will see them with me. Talk about shallow. I asked a guy who was short and I dated why he persued me if he was going to dump me for a shorter girl anyway what the whole point was and why I couldnt find a man for long term...this was many years ago...he said he wanted to see what it was like to date a tree. And after seeing his curiousity was appeased he wanted someone who looked good on his arm. He said no man wants a woman that is more of a man than he is...(Yet he wanted a girl that shoved a hair brush up his...welll)..Ok so I was considered a freak of nature. Oh well. The key is to be happy with who you are no matter your size. When you find a real man and not a boy who is more concerned with how much he loves you and not with how you look on his arm then who cares about height. You both have to be secure people and that is the bottom line. | |

I'm curious to find out the name of this speed dating organization. I can't believe that this form of discrimination still exists today. | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 12:57:39 PM | ^^^ I think that's illegal.
<div class="quote">In movies and on television, couples are usually near each other in height.
I've heard the guy being 2 inches taller is the optimal height. So 5'10 guy with 5'8 woman or 6'0 with 5'10 woman and so on. This looks the best imo too. Plus this way both parties get that comforting, protecting, enveloping hug from someone of similar size, not just the woman who gets it.

Posted: 9/13/2008 1:57:41 PM | | Height isn't a preference for me. Body types are. Shorter women more often fit my body type preferences. A fit tall woman is hard to find. She's also in high demand with tall guys. | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 2:17:27 PM | I'm probably one of those guys you are talking about. I'm about 6ft3 and i've had a few girlfriends that were around 5ft. but I've also had girlfriends that were 5'6 or so. I guess guys are just happy to get the extra attention from shorter girls. I think your question could easily be changed to "Why dont short women choose to date short men?" because sometimes it's the shorter women that show interest in the tall guys. but really you should just try dating guys that are cool, regardless of how tall they are. Hope that helps  | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 4:27:02 AM | I wish it was a matter of choosing, never had the option.......hmmmm should I go out with the tall one or the short one tonight.
I'm 6'2" and I don't set any standards on height......it's all a matter of who's willing to get out for a little fun and meet me.
I'm not going to risk missing out on meeting a fun lady who may turn out to be the love of my life........just because she maybe shorter/taller than the limiting criteria I may have set.
Taller ladies are better to slow dance with.
And......once in bed......height does not matter at all. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 7:46:17 AM | | Let's look at the bell curve here. In the USA, the average man is around 5'10". Less than 20% of men are over 6'1". Now less than 5% of women are over 6'. Your wanting 20% of the male population to limit themselves to dating 5% of the female population. Even if they all dated the tallest woman possible, 75% of men your height or taller would have to date women shorter than you to get any date at all. Reality is, they are dating within the height norms so MOST will be dating women shorter than you. Your complaining that they don't date you because of your height. I'm guessing there might be other reasons that suggest you go on the "do not date" list. Perhaps your fixation with height and your "bitterness" are two of them. | |

I'd kill to find a woman I didn't have to stoop to kiss, or feel guilty becasue she stood on tip toes....
Know any?
ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!! oh darn why do you have to be so far away....I think that is the whole problem here is the lack of availability of tall guys. Ok so some go out with short girls...so do short guys...there happens to be a lot of short girls and very few tall guys so it looks like all the tall guys go out with short girls...I found one and man the sack time was great....( he was 6 foot 6)....It wasnt so much the penis size...that is about the same on most men it was the fact I wasnt turned into a pretzel to be able to touch a greater area. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 10:20:52 AM | Hi there,
Your question is very relevant and appears current in today's society. I am a tall 6'6" gentleman that has had relationships with women no taller than 5'5". It is not that I would prefer to date women under 5'5", it has just been that I have yet to have the pleasure and opportunity to date taller women in my life. It is also important for me to highlight here that by no means is there a variable of distinction with me, that my preference is greater for women under 5'5" than it is for a taller women. I would love to meet a woman that I can interact with eye to eye, let alone feel comfortable with on the dance floor when we are close. (not forgetting, the importance of reducing lower back maintenance and strain....). Hopefully, in my not so distant future, I will be blessed with the pleasure of dating a tall woman and perhaps after that, can offer a more experienced viewpoint on this topic. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 11:35:41 AM | I'm 6'6 and on a purely physical level I am attracted to tall women, and will actively seek reasons to get to know them... but.... it's never that simple. tall women are uncommon, and finding someone who shares your interests, has a personality you enjoy and shares similar goals in life is hard enough as it is. I'd rather focus on the personality I'm looking for then limit myself to finding my physical ideal.
personally I have a thing for tall blondes, but I know some 5 foot nothing brunettes who are very attractive. beauty can be found anywhere. | |

Are there any tall guys out there who like tall women?!
I know that my brothers dated women that they met and knew. They didn't make any height requirements. Both of their wives are petite.
I live in an area that has shorter than average adult males. It seems taller men live in cities. I have gotten used to men being shorter or around my height. I remember going on a date in heels and the next time I went out with him, I had on flats, it was strange, he got taller... The most important thing is that you like the person. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 1:53:12 PM | Just because a man and a woman are both tall does not mean they are automatically meant for eachother. Nor does it mean a tall man and a short woman are meant for eachother and so fourth.
Height is a very lousy indicator of future compatibility. Another reason this height requirement nonsense is just that, nonsense. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 5:52:13 PM | I have no issues with a woman's height. I've dated 5'1" tall ladies and 6'2" ladies. (I'm 5'11")
I'm really more interested in their personality, the packaging is really secondary (not that I do not appreciate a beautiful lady)
But I've never descriminated against any lady based on height, hair length or color, bust, or nationality... I suppose I do prefer caucasian features in general and intelligence is a mandatory requirement. She has to be sharp to catch my witticisms or it is just like I'm talking to myself and I've already heard all my jokes. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 10:10:23 PM | Well it could be a security thing.
Since a woman your size or taller can be intimidating.
I usually date women my own height.
Though I would date a taller woman.
But I will be totally honest................
Its mostly because I think it would be kind of hot to have sex with a woman a lot taller than me.
Don't tell anyone.
Not that it matters. Most women taller than me are not into short men.
Hence why you, a tall woman, are asking why guys your height do not date tall women.
Not that I have it against you. I prefer people my own height as well. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 2:52:22 AM | Interesting how many tall men there are on this Thread.... Why is it I never see any? And some of you live close to me...
About being insecure about my height. I am not period! I have always enjoyed being tall. I have been 6'1" since I was 15. It was just something I could never change so I embraced it. I wear heals and stand 6'4" in them. I do date tall men but my Ex is 5'10", our son is almost 6'4" and he is only 15....
The only man to ever lie about his height said in his profile he was 6'4"... he turned out to be 6'8".
There are tall ladies out there we are just a rare breed.......

Posted: 9/16/2008 9:43:59 AM | Says who? Are you serious? Not my experience.
Whereas I am not as tall as you, I reach easily 6ft or 6'1 with my heels, which are the first thing I put on, and the last one I take off (nobody can convince me of letting them go). Never had a problem. Now, finding one that I LIKE among the tall ones, is a whole other song...
If its really bothering you, perhaps you could switch to eternal flats and take on the trend, hence be less intimidating (I suspect it might be an ego thing for men).
Now really, think about it, would you tame your own fabulosity to rub a man's confidence? | |
