Why are some short girls so SHALLOW?

Question

Why won't SHORT girls give short guys a chance? On dating sites, I have often seen girls that are under 5ft and on their profile, the said they won't date a guy under than 6ft! Why would they judge a guy by height? And why won't they give a 5 ft 7 guy a chance since that guy is already a lot taller than them?
I am 5 ft 7 and only dated shorter guys but strongly prefer somebody around my height. 5'10 would be the maximum and 5'2 as the minimum.

I have wondered this as well.. not just short females but people in general. I know I know, people have preferences... but I'm like you. I'm 5'7" and have dated guys shorter than me. If he's nice, funny and we get along, then that's awesome. I don't really have any height limits to go off of, I just go out with whoever I like (granted they like me as well).

My friend is like 5'3 and likes guys who are 6'3 or taller. She say it's so her children will have a chance at sports (i. e. basketball).

It's funny, cuz she makes him sit in pictures because she's so short compared to him (5'3). She doesn't even like that either 😕

That's ridiculous. I know, what is the point of him sitting down and taking a picture? The hell is she trying to emphasize? Find some guy around her height, it may work out better. And short girl and average guys yield out average height guys. I rejected a guy that was 6'7 and 6'5 once because why can't they find someone their own height?

I don’t get her either...

Finding men around your height or slightly should be the ideal. It improves genetic and no one is left with the short end of the stick.

EXACTLY. Short girls and tall guys yield short girls that look for tall guys. The yield average height sons that have trouble finding women as well. The similar principle applied for taller women and short men. That would make the genes more proportionate. Look atPrincess Diana and Prince Charles. They are about the same height and yield tall sons that look for tall women. Kate Middleton is pretty tall.

actually when it comes to male heght, the mothers genes are stronger, so her sons will never play basketball, yet tall women and short men are more guaranteed to have tall sons than the traditonal tall man short woman, i read some research article and it said that men only have a 1 in 5 chance of inheriting their father's height genes

I understand your point however, you are doing the same thing that she's doing. You won't date a guy over 5'10." You do realize that 5'10" is the average height for an adult male right? I don't see why height matters so much. I'm 6'1" and my only requirement for height is that she isn't taller than me (which I think is pretty fair).

I've never even met a girl taller than me before. Most men are shorter than me (like i said 5'10" is average) and the only reason I don't date women who are taller is because it would be very emasculating. It's the same reason why most girls don't date shorter guys. It's just that she set a specific boundary of 5'2" to 5'10" which is literally shorter than the average man. In other words, she's calling short girls out for being shallow when she is doing the same thing. The majority of the male gender won't fit her requirements for height (except foreign males from third world countries)

I don't like such a big height difference, it looks strange and we would have trouble holding hands, hugging or kissing.

Trust me I agree for convenience sake, closer heights are ideal. My girlfriend is 5'9" and I'm 6'1" which is a 4 inch difference. You say you're 5'7" but you won't date a guy over 5'10" which is only a 3 inch difference. The average American female is 5'5" and the average American male is 5'10" which is a 5 inche difference. That being said, you may not be as shallow as the girls you are describing but you are still being extremely shallow. As stated before, most men in the United States will not fit your height criteria. A 6'0" man wouldn't be towering over a 5'7" woman.

I would never give taller guys a chance. I am sure there are taller, graceful and beautiful women around that height. Most tall women are models. Why does a guy want someone as short as me, I don't understand. I like guys that are 5'10 and under because I feel secure around them and they are proportionate. I stood next to a 6' guy once and I didn't like the drastic difference. I have rejected a 6'7 and 6'5 guy because they were crazy. I hate guys that tall going after me, I am sure there are women the or height around.

Regardless of your reasons or motivations behind your preferences, the point is, it's still shallow. Whether you want it to be or not, it is.

I simply said "I won't date a girl who is taller" and I've never even met a girl taller than me before.

Answer 60

Asker

I can totally understand a girl that wants to date a taller guy, but being said, a 5 ft 7 guy is already plenty times taller than a 4 ft 10 girl. Why won't she give him a chance but look completely like a midget next to a 6 ft 6 guy? I don't even want to date a guy over 6 ft because I will start to look out of proportion with him.

Again, THERE IS NO WHY. People like/want what they like/want. No amount of logic will change it. If you simply want to understand the theoretical reasons why, then Google "sociobiology"

Answer 62

Eric644

research has proven that its in fact society and not biology

Answer 63

izzybolden

@Eric644 exactly. If we're referring to muscles and beards then maybe biology but everything else is fed by the media.

Answer 64

Intraluminal

@izzybolden

If you read about sociobiology you'll read about the idea of a hyperstimulus. In other words if there is something that serves as a sexual attractant then more is better.

Napoleon complex. I'm 5'7 and I will find a man who is 5'7 just as attractive as a guy who is 6'

It's good to see I that there are women like you around. Taller women tend to be less shallow than shorter women. Only taller women give shorter guys a chance while short women, even if the guy is taller than her, would not give guys under 6 ft a chance. What?

I totally get what you mean. Short girls are just obsessed with the idea of a super tall man, it's just kind of strange! The guy I currently am interested in is an inch taller and one of my shorter friends said "oh that's not good" as if it were a deal breaker... if his height can really effect whether or not you like him then you don't like him enough in my opinion.

Not all short women are shallow. Some of them are but most of them don't have a preference or eliminate shorter guys from their prospects. How would you feel if you were a 5 ft 7 guy getting rejecting by most women shorter than you because they don't think you were worthy enough just because of your height?

And why do tall guys choose to date real short girls?
It's madness.

Guys generally don't care or fuss about it as much as women do. Women should not cut possibilities out because of height. It is problematic when a 4 ft 10 girl even refuses to date a decent 5 ft 7 guy despite the fact that he is already taller than her.

I love shorter guys. They have such a bright and lively personality. I would never consider dating tall guys or 6'. Why won't they find someone their own height?

No. The height difference makes a drastic contrast. I also want to leave the taller men for the taller women. I think similar height is cute, convenient and looks good together.

I would never consider dating a guy over 6' as we look so disproportionate together. Why not find some tall graceful women your own height? I will never give a 6' guy or over a chance. Short guys don't care the fact that I am in heels.
