Society has "bred" us men to date smaller girls and has "bred you women to date taller guys. People who don't let the view of society control their lives are the ones who don't have a problem with dating shorter or taller than themselves. It starts when we are just little kids, and we see in movies the tall guy dating the shorter girl, so we do the same thing and after time we get so used to it, we don't want to change to something that might feel unnatural. I personally would love if a taller girl than myself wanted to date me, since its so rare. That rarity makes me want to seize the moment even more. As for my own height, I have no idea how tall I am. Several of my friends whom are all the same height all got measured at the same height at 5'9. Now I am clearly taller than they are, but when I got measured I was measured at 5'8 one year and the next year 5'6. So apparently I have gotten shorter. But then again from how they said they were measured, they were all measured a different way at the doctors office than I was measured. I just think the nurse who measured me at the doctors office is just an idiot getting my height off that bad, especially since it said I got smaller by 2 whole inches...If I base it off of what they were measured I would say I am about 5'10-5'11. As to dating guys who are taller than you but go after even shorter girls, and guys who are shorter than you to be willing to date you, just be yourself. Every guy has their own preference, so some guys you just won't be able to get with, others you will. Just like some guys like chubbier chicks, or girls with some meat but not fat. and some guys like small petite girls. I personally think the issue with height is not so much guys not wanting to date taller girls, even though that is an issue, but a bigger issue is guys being able to date taller girls since most girls will refuse to date a guy smaller than themselves. Even if that guy is their knight in shinning armor, if that guy is smaller they will just disregard altogether. But yeah, if you want to wear heals wear heals, if you want to date taller guys date them, if you want to date guys who are much much smaller than you than do so. Chances are more short guys are willing to date a girl 5'9 than a taller guy is. If a guy doesn't feel confident around you because you are simply taller than him, let him be a man. By this I mean, let him FEEL like he is in control. I don't know what kind of girl you are whether you are a dominant girl or a girl that wants to be told what to do, but if you make him FEEL like he is control his confidence will control, but if he starts getting out of hand with his control, bring him back to reality. Sorry for the Novel
Well, it's not entirely true that short guys do not like tall girls. For me a girl's perfect height is 5'9" and from she only gets more attractive the taller she gets. So, since you're 5'9" you're already 4" taller than me and my first impulse would be to look up into your eyes, wrap my arms around you and french kiss you until we both run out of breathe.
cause it makes them feel smaller, which makes them feel smaller internally, they wanna be the big guy, the guy who can take care of their lady, and this relates to proportions ..unfortunately. lol but there are plenty of 6"3 inch guys waiting for a tall girl, so they can feel normal LOL
I'm 6ft, I can't say that guys don't like taller girls, just they won't approach you like if you were shorter than them. Personally I love being tall and I wouldn't give it up, plus I love wearing heels and walking around strutting like I'm a model :) haha
It's just a personal preference.
But many guys like tall girls.
Perhaps you should stop throwing yourself a pity party

I love tall women. Most of them don't like me because I'm only 5'5. Guys that need to be taller than the girl go hand in hand with women who refuse to date men under 6'0. It could be a matter of personal tastes in a mate but I think it has more to do with self-confidence. My advice is to be open minded and respectful to men of all heights, short and tall. If you've got issues dating men shorter than you, you really can't blame anyone but yourself. Perhaps it's time the tall women step up to the plate and start making the first move towards men they find attractive rather than sitting on the sidelines and waiting. Confident women are very sexy no matter what height.
You're tall. Damn tall. And the taller you are, the more intimidating you can appear.
There's the other extreme. I'm 5'1" and people don't take me seriously. I think I'd rather be intimidating. Regardless I wish I were taller. Ideally I would have liked somebody of my own height. But my wife is 5'8" and we coexist quite well. Really, guys. It actually can work.
As she has so fondly noted, when we're horizontal together, height has no meaning.
i would date a girl who was 5 9. I'm 5 10, so I'd prefer a girl who was like 5 6 and shorter as my ideal, with even better if she was 5 4 purely because I could kiss her on the head without standing on tiptoes, but 5 4 is pretty ideal afterward I like shorter girls less. So let's see, if 5 4 is perfect for me then you need a 6 4 guy, which there are plenty of, to be IDEAL (according to my taste)
However, I would still date 5 9 girl if she was nice, it's really no big deal at all. The only problem was if she was teller than me.
I think the majority of women want a guy taller than them. I think it's associated with the guy being the protector, the girl wanting to feel feminine and what people would think of them.
As a guy and knowing this bit of information, I sorta just feel like I'm already behind and rather not approach the girl. Sort of an uphill battle.
Would I though? Sure if we had the chemistry but in the end, I'm always assuming she wants taller. I am also 5'7, plenty of taller dudes out there.
if she's taller than me it just feels weird girls are soppost to be shorter than the guys so us guys can hold the girl close to the heart but if she's the exact hight as me than its OK, and you tall girls should go for the taller guys etc.
Are guys saying this to you (that they don't like your height) or are you just assuming this because you're not being approached (people make the mistake of assuming all the time). I know personally, my preference is shorter women but it's never a deal breaker. If I like you, I like you no matter what your height is. It becomes irrelevant.
Im 6'1 and a half and I don't know I haven't ever dated a girl taller than about 5'9, I see good looking tall girls though, but I wouldn't date a girl who was the same height as me or taller lol it's just be weird
I've never dated a woman over 5'10", though I'd welcome the chance. I guess a lot of guys feel more secure in themselves if they're a head or so taller than the woman they're with.
get used to wearing flats...
(I'm 6'2" & looooove tall girls.)
Height is one factor, but not the only factor in whether a guy likes a girl...
they always look down on short guys...
Tall women are the best. That's fact. I think it is written in the bible :-)
I love tall girls, they are beautiful, sexy
most guys want a girl who is slightly shorter than they are. Girls who are too tall (aka noticeably taller than us) makes us feel insecure about our own height
I like girls that are shorter than me, I'm 6'2" so if you're less than that you're good. I prefer less 6' simply because then she can wear heels.
tall as 5'8-6'0 I like it but gives above 6'2 its just weird to see a girl taller than me =P
Some of us do. In fact I would prefer a girl around my height so I wouldn't have to bend down to kiss her.
I prefer to date girls around my height. I’m 5’8, I would definitely date a girl taller than me, 5’9 is perfect!
I’m a short guy, about 5’8, and I love tall girls! I would date a girl that’s 5’9 in a heart beat!
their fragile masculinity. they like shorter women because they're insecure as fuck and probably 5'11
