| Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
Posted: 6/9/2006 1:28:31 AM | I cant beleive what I just read... are you freaking kidding me DestinedSouls ???
Tall women cheat, get hit on all the time and dis men AND have big egos?????? OH MY GOD!!!!
I dont know who are you are meeting but how can you classify someone by their height that way. Some tall **** must have shot you down but bad for you to be that opinionated about it.
For the record I am 6'0 without my shoes with a 35 inch inseam... 6'4 most days with shoes.
I have had to listen to "good things come in small packages" my whole life... AAARRRGGGHHH
Well you know what... the bigger the present...the more fun you have opening it!!! 
For the record... some of us tall FREAKS prefer a taller man becuase we like to feel like we fit in, in a society that believes that 5'2 and 90lbs is where its at. There is nothing better than feeling completely enveloped by a hug.
Okay.. am done with my rant.
I am tall and SWEET and know how to treat a man... but yes.. I prefer if you are over 6'0 so I can wear my kick ass girlie shoes and not look like your mommy.  | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 5:26:03 PM | Speaking as an average male...5'7"... it's frustrating on the dating scene when a 5'1" woman specifies a minimum height of 5'11"...what's with that? a 10" height difference otherwise you're not in the race?
They really are missing out with such a narrow criteria. | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 9:06:20 AM | I chose to date the people that I feel are compatible and make me happy. I'm 6'5" and I've dated women from 5' to 6'4". My longest-term relationship/ex-fiance is 5'7", so you could say we met in the middle! I actually like dating taller women because there's nothing sexier than looking into someones eyes from very close range. There simply don't seem to be as many of them around, and it still comes down to chemistry.
ps. A female friend who's 6'1" owns the greatest t-shirt, "Kiss a tall person, it's worth the climb!". She claims it gets her MANY offers.   | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 5:53:25 PM | I personally hardly ever come across tall women. Tall in my case being 5'11" and up. When I do meet one of them, the odds alone of them liking me too are not that great. The ones I've encountered prefer men taller than they are; period. More so if they like to wear shoes with heals. The largest population of tall women I've found are in Russia, as a side note. Seem to average from 5'8" and higher. Note the word average please. Would be interesting to find out there views on dating guys.  I don't mind tall women myself; they are just as attractive in beauty and personality.  Intimidated a bit in only due to what others may think. I get over that real quick though.  | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 6:16:20 PM | | To tortured, Why don't you consider dating dating a slightly shorter man? Men like to date shorter women, but it wouldn't bother me if if my date was a little taller. The reality is that most women want to date taller men, sometimes much taller than themselves. There simply are not enough tall men for everyone. | |

Posted: 8/25/2006 6:50:27 PM | | No need to be bitter. I am 4'6" and not very many men of any size want to date me. I do have to say though the best date I ever went on was with a guy who was 6'4"! | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 6:58:27 PM | | Im 6'4" and I will admit I generally dont go for really tall women, I think its just because your so used to having everyone shorter than you that it seems a little out of place. This is not to say that I generally go for short women or that im against dating taller women but I generally prefer women somewhere in the middle. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 1:05:27 PM | There is a post on here that discusses how most guys are around 5'8 whether they say they are or not. Although that may not be exactly true, it brings up an interesting point here, I've come across all sorts of guys that either don't have a clue how tall they are or are completely diluting themselves when it comes to how tall they actually are.
Why would a tall guy choose to have to bend down to kiss their girlfriend? I suppose to each his own. But I draw the line at having to bend down to kiss a guy - it's just wrong!  | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 12:56:45 PM | The fact is that tall guys can get a much higher quality woman (younger, hotter, better attitude, fewer dating hangups) if she is short:
1. There are many, many more of them to chose from. There are 50 X more women who rate 8.5+/10 that are 5'-1" than who are 6'-1".
2. They often want men much taller and larger than them (either from a personal desire for taller children or for status with other women)
3. Because they want a tall man so badly, they are willing to compromise in other areas, whereas a tall woman wants a tall man who also meets all of their extensive list of criteria. | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 2:42:15 PM | | Well, as a tall woman myself, (5'11") I would much rather date a taller guy, but in fact usually find them my height. As to why tall men date tiny women? My father is 6'5" (thanks dad :) ) and he has dated women from 5' to 6' . He says that how tall a woman is, is not what he looks at when he meets someone. As to what the op says, I think you should have had my grandmother around you when you were growing up, (she was 5'9"). She always told me growing up I was going to be tall and to be proud of it. I have also instilled this in my daughter. There is going to be someone out there for you. He may just not be 6'5" and you may have to lay off the heels when you go dancing. | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 9:12:13 PM | This thread made me smile. Interesting views on height.
I'd like to meet a tall girl who can share the numerous "Do you play basketball?" questions that come about.  Sometimes you just have to embrace being tall and run with it. Great for sports, not so great when you're hitting your head on chandeliers or shower curtain rods. | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 5:29:44 PM | Well, maybe the tall woman is ugly.
Height doesn't mean too much if you have a face that could stop a clock.
A good looking guy at 5'6 is probably going to do better dating wise than an ugly guy at 7'0
The problem for tall women is that it's not generally socially acceptable for her to date a shorter man. Even men base their dating decisions on this reality. So her options are immediately limited. If she's ugly to boot, it becomes doubly hard to date. Shorter women aren't necessarily more attractive than tall women, it's just the social framework of dating means shorter women have more options. More options = more likely success in dating.
Height is a component of good looks, but you have to be good looking first for that height to work as a bonus for you. | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 10:39:21 PM | Well I suck , I am 5 ft 5 in , invariably most all women want a guy at least around 5 ft 9 in or they will not consider dating a guy even if the girl is 5ft or less still want that tall guy to show off other women , feel a highrer status , etc.. even if he is ugly and not a very good guy to begin with.
I have gotten out with women that are now my "friends" they turned me down for my size but thought I was the greatest guy in the world, they dated some tall guys that were full of themselves because dating was easy for those guys and that reflected their attitude , I always end up the guy that helps my friends out, one day I will get fed up and let those guys physically abuse and hurt them. Why should I be better than them ? It does not help to be a great guy. After they are hurt badly then maybe they will see me like I wanted to be seen as in the first place . Sounds like a game, but I have less cards in my hand .
Women even here seem to think it is ridiculous to go out with a short guy even if the guy is taller than they.
Most guys do not care if they date a tall or a short women , that goes for really tall guys , they have a greater dating pool, they can date tall and short, if more white and black women are an average of 5 ft 6 to 7 inches and ethnic are less than 5 ft 4in as an average they do not necessarly ignore taller women , it is just they liked the women they liked, taller women are not common , why look for one specifically not all may not be attractive to him just as shorter women .
The ops question is not really all that logical, why do you not see more guys look for more guys other than being taller than you or way taller than you ?
same goes for age and body type , yes attraction most guys see taller and short women attractive , women see tall guys attractive but would not be caught dead with a short guy , even fat ugly tall guys has better luck . | |
