Thre's a difference between a woman wanting a big tall man to make her feel protected and feminine and a bloke who prefers a women with big tits. The bloke wants her because he's turned on by her, he finds her sexually appealing. He's not wanting her cos of how she makes him look.
Sorry Josh, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I see no difference between a guy saying 'she's sexy to me because she has big boobs' and a woman saying 'he's sexy to me because he's tall'. I said nothing about feeling protected, I can protect myself - I mentioned feeling femanine, which is a different thing. I don't fathom how it can be considered sexist though? A tall woman would make me feel more femanine too, I only have one femanle friend who's taller than me and when I'm out with her I feel more 'girlie', how is that sexist? Hieghtset maybe, but not sexist.

Posted: 3/23/2009 4:58:49 AM | Crikey, suddenly I'm short at 5ft8 . I won't waste your time contacting you then ! I mean god forbid that you'd be taller than a bloke cos you insist on wearing high heels.
 Do you realise that you are saying a bloke is incompatible with you because you'll be two inches taller when you wear high heels. No wonder we're all single.
It is sexist because it's one way, its' okay for a male to be taller than a female but not okay for a female to be taller than a male. It's sexist against short males.
It's sexist and shallow because of the reasons why a female wants a taller man, if it's not a sexual or visual attractiveness thing because it's stereo typing the male as the 'protector' of the female. I'm sure a lot of guys will appreciate a female admitting that she's the weaker sex and needs protecting and mastering but it's sexist and goes against the whole feminist movement in my opinion.
If it is a visual attractiveness thing then fair enough.
I don't see a tall guy making you feel more feminine as a visual attractiveness, its a reason put there by society. Short women don't make me feel more manly but if they did then that would again be stereotyping based on sex, based on the man being the dominant one. making her more feminine him more masculine. Why do you feel the need to feel more feminine.
Its like me saying a girl needs boobs to make me feel more masculine. All I want her to make me feel is wanted and happy. | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 5:06:14 AM | Wow this again...
I'll just repeat my message from way back when...
I couldn't care less about height, my partner is 5'9" and I've never felt uncomfortable being with him... I embrace my height and rarely go out in heels less than 3". I've dated men as short as 5'4" and as tall as 6' 7" made no difference to me whatsoever ...
If a man is an arse he'll be an arse whether he is lengthened or shortened and if he is perfect he will be perfect whatever height he is...
And add .... The things that make me feel feminine are on me, not on my arm....
A man doesn't make me feel feminine... Beautiful underwear, and the bits that fill them are what make me feel feminine.... A man makes me feel loved and wanted ... The femininity aspect is all mine, to choose to be or not to be... | |

Being 5ft 11 barefoot & having a passion for killer heels i tend to terrify the midgets around here though! | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 10:00:51 AM | At 6'6" I'm all for women demanding tall blokes!
it's never been a problem in the past, though I do find it a bit awkward when people are a foot or more shorter than me. And I do have a preference for taller women. | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 10:47:45 AM | I must admit my preference for a man taller than me, Im 5ft 11, does narrow down the field slightly. It bugs me that little women like to go out with the big blokes too, there should a rule that there can not be more than 4 " between you LOL... leave themalone for the tall ladies please, there are plenty of little blokes around that will do you!!!!
I have been out with smaller men before but I much prefer being on eye level or looking up just that little bit, looking down at someone is just odd, almost like I need to look after them like when my kids were smaller than me (those were the days) hahah.... its just my preference and I wont apologise for it. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 3:44:26 PM | At a rough guess I would say it is mostly women of below average height, by about 10 to 1, that state on their profile that they will not even reply to a message from a man less than 6ft 2, over taller ladies who seem to be a bit less height restricted about their potential partner. You would think it wold be the other way round, but perhaps 5ft nothing ladies think that if they marry a 6ft 4 man they will eradicate the short ärse gene.
To quote The Crimea, one of my favourite bands, and incidentally possibly the last band to be championed by John Peel before his death, "Who knows what goes on in that pretty little head". | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 12:00:44 AM | Why should relative height matter?
Why should the gender of the taller partner matter?
If two people love each other, then nothing else matters....... | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 1:05:25 AM | | Interestingly, taller men on average have higher incomes and social status than shorter men, so there is also some selection going on in society as a whole; I expect female selection is a result of that, rather than the cause. You can come up with various hypothesis as to why this might be the case. For example, in the recent past better nutrition usually gave the wealthy a height advantage. I suppose that is as good a starting point for the general effect as anything else. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 2:27:58 AM | | I am 5'11" I was married to someone who was 6'2". It didn't bother me one iota; she'd biatch about feeling very self conscious in heels. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:20:19 AM | | I dated someone I met on here for a while who was 4'' shorter than me, and it didn't bother me, or him, at all. Would not reject someone now just because he's shorter, I had a great time with this guy whilst it lasted! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:38:17 AM | I am 5ft2 so this is not usually an issue for me. But last year I had a date with a tiny little guy. His profile said he was 5ft7 which in my opinion is ok, average. But he was in reality only about 5ft 3 tops. I towered over him which was a very strange feeling. He was incredibly hot but his height was an issue for him. Not for me, I didnt want to see him again because he was Welsh.  | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:50:34 AM | Living in Wales I quite often find I'm the tallest person in the room, I'm only 5'7" although I do like to wear heels. I get a bit fed up with guys having a go at me because I don't like short men, I don't like arsey tw@ts either but that point seems to pass them by.

Posted: 9/8/2009 6:55:15 AM | surely it's only an issue for tall women not short men ...
a tall woman isn't going to be a problem for a short man but a short man will probably be a problem for a tall woman ....
i had a friend who was talll and she wouldn't even consider dating a short guy because, in her words, she would feel like his bodyguard ! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 12:14:35 PM | My ex was quite a bit shorter than me, it only bothered me when he was drunk and it was slightly obvious that it bothered him... it was a bit of a clue when he'd engineer it so I was walking on the outside and in the gutter so the curb made him nearly as tall as me!
Since then I've met a couple of blokes who've commented on me being taller than them if only in my heels. They've commented on it in such a way and enough for me to think that it made them feel uncomfortable, and I found that a turn off.
Due to that, I now tend to prefer taller men, but if I met a shorter man who wasn't concerned by it then it wouldn't bother me at all! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 12:53:01 PM | Well I'm 5' 9" when stretched on a rack. I find it amazing how many men say they are 5' 11" or 6' when they are more like 5' 8". My profile says I prefer 5' 9" or over but when inch comes to shove I'll probably knock a few inches off them anyway......if not in height!
<div class='quote'>I now tend to prefer taller men, but if I met a shorter man who wasn't concerned by it then it wouldn't bother me at all!
I agree and when I see Jamie Cullum with that lovely curvy model I think they make a lovely couple....and I'm sure he does too!!

Posted: 9/8/2009 1:22:49 PM | I'd love to date a woman as tall or me or taller, it would be great fun. We could do interesting sexual positions and maybe wrestle each other.
