| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 9/16/2008 9:21:18 PM | "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."
Tom Cruise is 5'7'' which really isn't THAT short. people talk about him like he's 5'1'' or something
"Yes; but, he started out as a child star and looks taller in the movies. Stallone and Swayze are both short guys, too."
That's because he wears lifts in almost all his movies and Stallone and Swayze aren't short, they're average height. | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 9:21:33 PM | | I'm 4'11 and I prefer tall men. My friends tease me and say that I'd meet more men if I didn't have this height hang-up (I like men to be at least 6'). But honestly, I have luck meeting tall men....I think tall men are just drawn to shorter women - makes them feel like they can protect us! | |

and you still havent found someone...what a shocker...
lol right because a 6 foot man can protect a 4'11'' female yet he's for some reason the same 6 foot man is incapable of protecting a 5'11'' female so a 5'11'' woman needs what a 7 foot man?
Sometimes I get the feeling that tall men are more insecure dating tall women then short men are
All this "protection" talk is silly and irrational | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 9:35:23 PM | | I'm 6'-5", and I tend to favor taller women, usually 5'-8" and above. I was on another dating website a year or two ago, and a woman IM'd me and started a conversation. She noted it was unfortunate that we lived so far apart (she was in Australia), and revealed that she was 6'-7"! I almost fainted... | |

Stallone is 5'10", I'd date him if he wasn't married. He has worked very hard to keep his physique!
I've met him. He's no way he's 5'10". (Though he claims to be.) He is in very good shape though.
US Actor from Rocky and Rambo. "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he says: "I'm 5'10" and in 1993 NY Times said "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches". A 1978 Playboy claim, as commenter Bam pointed towards quoted Sly claiming early on that "I'm five feet ten and three quarters tall"
Cinema.com on meeting him, "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight" and pre-www, in 1990 Chicago Times was even bringing up the subject of footwear, "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist shoemaker once commented that "I made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!", although this is an exaggeration..
Another interesting quote is from famous screenwriter Goldman's book about lies stars tell. He says "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches." going on to revealing his source was someone who was also that height and jogged with Sly one morning. He then describes how he went into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and about 10 minutes later, "He (sly) got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet.".
Another quote comes from Supermodel Janice****nson's book 'Everything about me is fake' whom she recalls Sly tried picking her up (they were a couple for a while): "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also remarked "I couldn't believe how short he was" | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 8:06:52 AM | Well, I didn't wade through all the posts, but at 6'3" myself, I would gladly date a taller woman. (Okay, to be honest, at this point, I'd be happy to get a date with just about ANY woman...) The problem I've found is that tall women (over 5'9") seem to be firmly in the minority.
I've even went so far as to put a profile on a specialty dating site that aims to match tall folks up with other tall folks, or fans of tall folks. Even there, the vast majority of women were under 5'7".
I did go out on one date with a woman who was an inch taller than me. It was one of the hottest first dates I've ever been on, and it was a real kick seeing the way people were staring at us (a 6'3" guy with a 6'4" woman.) Of course, the fact that she was bat-shiat crazy resulted in no second date, but still it was fun. | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 11:00:36 AM | 5'10" or 5'7" I would still be taller than Sly. I am just big on people being healthy inside and out. Like I said, if I sat around and only dated men taller than me, I would never have met a man that has become a great friend.
I did read a couple profiles recently where the guy said he was like 6' and wanted a petite woman and another prefered women shorter than 5'9". I just figure they want to appear larger or feel larger, insecurity issues I guess. | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 1:39:22 PM | | Brooke Shields is taller than I am, so there is a variety of heights in Hollywood. I know that she dated men taller and shorter too. Everything can be generalized and for whatever reason the OP just seemed to run across one too many men with women that weren't tall. | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 1:48:58 PM | You seem jealous or are just imagining that tall men date short petite women. I am petite and I have never dated a giant before, I appreciate all sizes of people, no matter what they appear to be. Isn't whats on the inside that counts? Why do people look at the outward appearance? That is not what is important, it is what is in the heart that counts, right? I just wish this were true, wouldn't the world be a better place to be? I wish you well tall ladies, but it just isn't true that tall men prefer petite women, I know, I am 5 ft. tall and weigh 110 lbs, and it just isn't so. | |

Since you are saying that a taller man that wants a shorter woman is insecure...Then are you also saying that a woman who wont date a below average height man is also insecure? | |

I don't know women that date men that are only tall. I do know that some women say that they want a man to be taller than she is when she wears heels. To me that is weird, I wear heels, not the man. I have grown up in a tall family. People always looked at our family, my bro and sis have red red hair too, so that draws more attention. I would guess that if you weren't used to people looking or staring, that it would be insecurity if you weren't comfortable with a shorter man. But, heck, I have never been short and am used to people always looking down at my feet to see if I really am that tall with and without heels. | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 9:31:14 PM | | In the end, height is the last issue. I like the idea of dating a talk woman. I'm 6' but I keep ending up with women 5'4" to 5'7". Why? Intelligience, sense of humor, personality, and joy of live are far more important. | |

Posted: 9/18/2008 7:57:58 AM | | I'm 6'1"l and I always date women 5' to about 5'5" and nothing over that. But lately I have noticed that there are a lot of sexy tall women and I'm now actually open to the idea.It would interesting to kiss a woman without having bend down...LOL. | |

Actually they seem to be saying quite the opposite.... | |

A couple of my friends claim that a tall guy and a short gal make for a really "cute" couple.
I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall, I've dated both short & tall.  | |

Posted: 9/20/2008 5:06:40 PM | | I have seen profiles on here where the tall men only want to date tall women, they say that the long legs are beautiful. I am 5' 2" but when I see tall women I think that they look like models. | |

Posted: 9/25/2008 5:37:51 PM | | What does it matter anyway, who wants to date who at what height? If they are attracted to prople of that height, all the complaining in the world isn't going to change it. | |
