Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 5/6/2006 6:48:33 PM
THERE is a site for tall women looking for tall men. Don't give up gf. If that is your desire, say a daily prayer for this request. I do. But, not just a tall man, but a ethical, moral, integrity, educated and a good religious upbringging. If you're gonna pray, do it royally.

Also, look your best when you can. I don't all the time. I always dress casual, hair dyed and pedicures too. I love clothes and clothes shopping too. Wear cute sandals. Yes, some tall men do prefer shorties. So what, to each his own. Don't focus on the negative things in life. Speak positive words to yourself and to others. Say it out loud. I will have a taller bf than me, and he will be a gentleman, etc...Peace gf.

Short women come after me. Most tall women won't give me the time of day for some reason.

I like dating a tall woman. I am 6' but like it when the girl is my height or even a little bigger. But I don't go looking for a cretin type the shortest girl I ever dated was 4'10" made it hard to dance some times lol

I am 6 feet tall and fairly often strange (unknown) men will approach me and say how nice it is to see a tall woman. I don't know if they would date me, since I'm not looking for a date, I don't send out those "vibes". But I think if I was looking for a date I could scrounge up some dates from these guys who like tall women.

Bottom line: some guys are attracted to tall women.
Some guys are attracted to sheep. Go figure.

My partner is 6'5... and I'm 5'10. We're both pretty tall... though he towers over me.

My friends and I were in a discussion about this the other day. Basically, the general consensus was that it comes down to these two things:

1. A lot of guys seem to get nervous around taller women. It's like they're intimidated by them or something, for whatever reason, so they simply don't even try.

and

2. For a lot of guys, being with a woman that's a fair bit shorter than you just feels 'right'. There's something about looking DOWN into her eyes, and her looking up into yours, that only seems to amplify your attraction to her. Don't ask why; it's like an unconscious response or something.

tortured, you're way too young for me, and at 6'5" not too many women are tall to me. But it's not something I have any choice over.

No worries tortured, but why does this bother you so much, isn't finding true love mean more then how tall someone is???


I don't know... maybe I feel discriminated against because of it. Actually it was just something that occurred to me recently, and I thought was worthy of being mentioned. I'm not really a short-person hater... not much, anyway ;)

--------------


I agree with the OP. I've seen 6'3" guys with women under 5'0" and I just thought to myself that they're destined for the sideshow circuit. :)


Haha, perhaps I shouldn't be laughing or even admitting this... but yes, I've thought the same thing -- WHY?!

You're a sweetie Dahliakitten =) I know you're right, but sometimes these things get to me...

i thought maybe most taller women like short men


I'm thinking this isn't even worthy of a response. Again, I have nothing against short people so don't all be offended :P

--------------

Okay, enough quoting people! I appreciate all your replies, as it's interesting to see other peoples opinions on these things. Even if only to validate my own feelings, haha x

It's not that they are choosing shorter women.. They are choosing women they find attractive.

^^ Interesting... But that just anchors my point; that they seem to find shorter women more attractive than taller ones? Or am I missing your point entirely?

Maybe height isn't the be all and end all, but it certainly seems to be important to people. Me included, if I'm honest.

I believe his point is that height may not always be a criteria in what someone finds attractive in a women. In that case, they are not deliberately out to seek tall women. Attraction comes in all sizes. (Some settling of contents may occur during shipping.)

Facial attraction rules above all. If they think you have a great face they will be interested.

You likely blame your height to avoid the truth about why certain men are not interested.

Ouch. Possibly... I don't know. I'm not sure how to reply to this without seeming a) conceited or b) insecure...

Hmm, I don't know... I've seen a lot of girls with shorter guys. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the females in the area I live are just abnormally tall o_o

Um... dunno... maybe cuz we shorties are nice to spring a hug from the back? I dunno but there's something sexy about watching the bathroom mirror when a man bear-hug me and then lean his head forward to kiss my neck - just like what a vampire would do to his prey...

I'm 5'5" and I would prefer to date someone taller. So nice to kiss with...

I've noticed this, anyway. It seems that the majority of tall men seem to date deliberately short women (I'm talking 6ft6 guys with 5ft0 women). Are there any tall guys out there who like tall women?!

...I'm a bitter 6ft1 woman, in case you hadn't guessed ;).


Well I know me! My problem must be that I have a tendency is too LOOK UP TO a woman even if my height is taller.

Perhaps this explains why blonde canadian women must despise me...it definitely hurts a tad to realize that you have been looked down upon your whole life.

Pity the short people and short men ....{edit for clarity: insert BUT here,...] who ever wonders how the air is up there?

Heres an idea

Just lie about your height in your ad..........many people think this is the domain
of men.. a heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

There was a time when I considered tall woman sexy in their own right
( legs legs legs shes got legs)
...I kinda dismissed the thought though when I realized I could never ever really measure

well not sure if this is the answer your looking for but it's what has already been said, it's what you find attractive. I am short 5'3" and i find tall men, 6ft very attractive, they make me feel safe, protected and tiny. But by the same token i have date guys shorter and they were great too! I prefer dark hair not blonde, it's just a matter of what floats your boat!

im fairly tall (6'2) and i LOVE tall girls, say around 5'8 - 6'0. Tall girls have long legs and im all about long legs. and its nice not to have to crouch down to kiss your girl either
