| | Intimidated by Tall Ladies?Page 1 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | | Are men intimidated by tall ladies? I have been on here a few months now. So far I have talked to a few people but have not meet anyone in person yet. Have not been asked out on a date - just made a few good friends. So I am beginning to think that it has something to do with my height which I am very proud of by the way. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 1:35:54 PM | REAL men aren't intimidated by anything. However, tall women typically don't want much to do with guys that are not at least the same height as they are. So I think it's more of a "She won't want me because I am 8 inches shorter than her" that keeps men from making a move. Why go out and look for opportunities to be rejected?
If you think you are being passed over because of your height, I might suggest that you put a comment in your profile that you don't care about the silly societal stigma that the man MUST be taller than the women he is with.
That or move to a city with an NBA team. | |

Well...not me, I love the tall ladies..it makes it easier to look up their dresses
JMO..some guys are intimidated..some arent. It comes down to personal preference. So if I got along with her in all other aspects, I wouldnt let height be an issue..but that's just me..
JMHO

Posted: 4/1/2007 1:44:53 PM | | There's a current thread entitled "Do short guys stand a chance" which gives for good reading. I posted stating that as a guy who is only 5ft 8in I've dated women both shorter and taller than myself. In my experience it's mainly the tall women who have a problem dating men shorter than themselves. Check out the thread. | |

I dare you to look me in the eye and say that....oh wait...I checked your profile...you actually could!
I'm not intimidated, just never dated anyone over about 5'6" to 5'8". No reason, I just guess tall women don't like tall guys?
Cheers! | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 1:45:53 PM | | I'm not, but I've noticed that a lot of the tall women on here (5' 10" or taller) say in their profiles that they are looking for tall guys, so I don't even bother to contact them. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 2:01:47 PM | I was born too early to reap the benifits of livestock being injected with
growth hormones...I remain 5'8" which make me shorter than the younger
women but taller than Tom Cruise :D But, you're well over 6' tall...you're
a GIANT compared to me......you even make Arnold Schwartneggar look
short by a clear 1 inch! | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 3:03:54 PM | Yes men are intimidated by tall women. It's like a select club when you're over 6 feet, alabeit I am barely in the club it is alarming whenever I see a woman walk past me and she can look me in the eye (wihtout having heels on). This is like a breach of all that isscared about being a man. That being said, I stil like tall women as it is more congruent sexually.
There was this lady on Springer who claimed to be 6'3 300 pounds on Jerry Springer, the dude she was married to was cheating on her and he was like 6feet 300 pounds, they made a great big couple. Theg uy rode a motorcycle and one of th audiecnce memebers asked him who rides **** on the bike? haha that was funny
Still, she didn't lok like she was 6'3 there's like no women who are 6'3 unless they in the Wnba or women's volleytball. It is true thogh I think, younger fgeneration born between 80-90 are growing up to be wuite tall. It must have something to do with science advancements.
I don't believe you op just for the record, you're not 6foot3 you jusdt wish you were. hehee | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 3:07:52 PM | | Some men are,some men aren't. I personally like tall women. My Gf has you beat by an inch;she's 6'4". I have dated a few women over 6' and they all have said that sometimes they have trouble finding men to date while other times no problem. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 4:10:06 PM | Tall women don't intimidate me in the least, although I've not met many that exceed my 6 foot height.
My preferences run in the opposite direction, which is to say I'm very attracted to shorter women and I place some importance on that attribute.
I suspect for shorter men, the issue becomes more troublesome. There's not a huge difference between 6 foot and 6'3" - but a 5'7" guy would have better than half a foot to look up to. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 5:07:23 PM | | Tall women want taller men, so that means only about 5% of men are tall enough for them, and that's the same 5% all the other women want, too. If you wanted a shorter man you could find one easily enough. Such is the genetic lottery. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 7:55:33 PM | ugg “intimidated” - why is is always “intimidated” vs not interested or not a match?
Most of the “Independent Women” run around asking if guys are intimidated when they should be asking if guys are SICK of being referred to as intimidated.
I would have no interest in a 400 pound female wrestler - that would not mean I was intimidated - it would mean she is not a potential match.
I am 6’2” and back up from people that are taller than I am. I just am not use to being up close to someone that is taller than I am. It is not INTIMIDATED - it is I am not use to it.

Well, I'm 6'5" so a 6'3" girl would certainly catch my eye ;) That said, I've met shorter men than me who liked tall girls. But I do think that on average a guy prefers a girl a little bit shorter than him, so at 6'3" it may be a bit of a challenge to find guys who won't be a little intimidated by your height. A killer smile or a friendly personality can turn that around. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 3:00:00 AM | I'm 6'2 and I prefer girls who are 5'8-6'2, then again I'm not really picky about that seeing as my last gf was 5'1.
It really just depends on the guy. Personality trumps most things, if you have a good one, you'll be fine. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 4:01:18 AM | No matter what you are: tall, short, fat, thin, whatever, some people will like it, some won't. You can't be all things for everyone.
IMHO, I think you should post a pic. That alone will probably make a difference. A lot of people are visual (like me). They want to see the person along with the profile.
I'm sure there's guys out there that aren't going to be intimidated by your height. But if they don't see a pic on your profile they may never even bother to check your profile out.
My 2 cents. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 7:29:55 PM | I am not intimidated, but it is common knowledge that most women want a man taller than they are. I guy wants to feel like he at least has a chance.
You can email and ask for dates too...it's 2007. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 7:39:41 PM | i LOVE tall ladies. I like nice, long and smooth legs and i like slender frames. I am fairly tall myself though (im 6'4") so i have a bit more luck with them i guess than a smaller lad would but hey - different strokes for different folks i say  | |
