| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 9/16/2008 9:49:22 AM | | I would have NO problem dating a tall woman. However since I'm about 6 ft tall, there are very few women that are at least somewhat close to my height. I think less than 5% of women are 5' 9" or taller. | |

important height must be to me in a woman, because I ALWAYS
find myself looking at the height category! I would much prefer
a woman over 5-6! | |

I think this is true for a large percentage of tall men. They aren't necessary opposed to dating taller women. However most women are simply much shorter than they are. Therefore they don't get many chances to date a taller woman unless maybe they have some type of association with a woman's basketball or volleyball team. I'm 5' 11" and there are plenty of men ( tall and short ) who have been interested in me. I have dated men ranging from 5' 5" to 6' 4". | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 10:55:15 AM | | haha well I'm 6'7" and I rarely meet women as tall as you! Honestly there are more shorter girls available so when you get down to it you just have more of a selection from the shorter girls... Honestly if I met a girl that was 6'1" and we clicked then I would have no problem going out with her... Hey I would even say I would prefer taller women but there just aren't that many around! Oh and I'm not lying about my height, I was 6' in the 6th grade! | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 10:57:22 AM | I love to stare into a woman's eyes at similar height. There is something
about the equality of that, I find appealing, or maybe something much deeper.
Then she slips into her heals and looks down upon me!
Can't win! | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 11:04:50 AM | I'm 5'11. I don't wear heels as I'm tall enough. I consider my height a Mixed Blessing.
For example: Being Tall is a curse when shopping for clothes that are long enough & just the right fit and it's a blessing when you can help others reach for things & the guys LOVE the legs that go "all the way up"!

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:08:19 PM | Why are people still hung up on height?Why do men NEED to be taller to feel masculine and why do women NEED a man to be taller to feel safe? What freaking year is this? Is this 2000 B.C.? Sounds like half the population are still neanderthal and haven't evolved.There is absolutely no need for that kind of security these days.Kinda silly.
Not to mention if people are that worried about how they look in public next to someone based on height that is just pathetic. They should probably re-evaluate themselves. | |

within humans, that is of Cave Man Era! I would strongly
suggest you familiarize yourself with it, if you hope to have any
fundamental understanding of women's behavior! lol | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:24:20 PM | I absolutely do understand it! I just find it ridiculous....and this is not a complaint considering I get PLENTY of dates.I just feel a little elevated above that type of thinking.Im attracted to someones mind more than how tall they are.I date tall and short women.It doesnt much matter.
I completely understand the concept.I have met quite a few women who DONT think like this which is why I think people who do are kind of pathetic.It just shows a lack of intelligence to me.Or worse off it shows how many people conform to what society tells them rather than forming their own opinions.I only say this because the majority of why people want someone who is a certain height is only based on how they will look in public. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:29:14 PM | | Everyone has their preferences, I just don't particularly feel like craning my neck every few seconds to look up at my significant other. I'm sure there are some who'll disagree and fancy dating someone who's taller than them and if so, more power to them, just not my cup of tea. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:31:47 PM | | I agree with preferences but most peoples reasons when it comes to this subject are kind of silly and dated (feeling protected, feeling masculine or how they will look to others). I think A LOT of people drastically lower their chances of being happy just because they want to look a certain way in public. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:32:20 PM | Well, your right about that. Get a good looking guy, dress him in outdated
fashion, and many women would dismiss him immediately! And don't
forget the white socks and sandals!lol
Humans are HUGLY involved with appearance! Even young children
have been tested and have this trait! I read something about all the Presidents
elected in a certain time frame (don't remember) were all the taller of the
candidates! | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:34:19 PM | | I'm 5'9 and have dated women from under 5' to well over 6'... but almost every woman I contact that is over 5'6 says " I want someone taller than me when I wear heels"... so to me it's a female problem, not a male problem. But as all the posts on here are different, to each his/her own. If we'd all worry more about the person's character than such trivial things as height, we'd be better off, but we never will... it's human nature! | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:35:55 PM | | I'm a little over 5'9" after being 5'10" most of my life (yeah, I'm shrinking) and I've dated very few men who were more than an inch taller than me and only one who was taller than 6'4". I don't even get approached by tall guys all that much. I'm kind of surprised that taller guys don't lean more toward taller girls (at least in my experience)- it looks to me like it would be uncomfortable for the guys who always have to hunch over to kiss their girlfriend who's way shorter. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:39:23 PM | | PLASTIC STURGEON ^^^Absolutely! I agree with you which is why we end up with morons in power who know nothing about leadership.Im just saying people will always gravitate towards someone they find more "charming" over someone who is actually intelligent or knows what they are doing .....BUT....I dont see what height really has to do with it.I mean there are plenty of good looking men who are short.This is a bad example but look at Tom Cruise(before he went crazy!) He was one of hollywoods most attractive men and he is 5 foot nothing.I understand charm and good looks but height has always been such a strange reason to date someone. | |

Yes; but, he started out as a child star and looks taller in the movies. Stallone and Swayze are both short guys, too. I think that male movie actors are short to give the women actors the illusion of being taller and more glamourous. It keeps the stable of attractive women larger. If male actors were taller, the women, that are more often attractive enough to be in film, would look like midgets. Guys like Liam Nieson and Tim Robbins look like giants in thier movies sometimes. lol | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 7:12:45 PM | | It does sound like you're frustrated when you say a majority of men "deliberately" date short women. As if it is some kind of conspiracy against the taller variety. Honesty, most men don't care about height as an issue unless the woman is towering over them...then it could be an issue for a guy. That same scenario would be an issue for most women as well. More times than not the reason why you are seeing taller guys with shorter women is the law of averages. Most women are by average a little shorter than men. As for the six-six guy with the five-foot woman (nothing wrong with that) but honestly that kind of match-up doesn't happen very often. And yes we the general public guessed from reading this posting that you're bitter. Telling by your screen name "tortured", there might be even bigger issues to disclose. Good luck with your pursuit of the tall. | |

Hey, I live in an area where men are not tall. I think that all these nice looking tall men need to move near me | |
