Insecurity, ego. It's the same reason why women think every really hot guy who lifts weight must be a playa or how women won't date guys who are skinnier than them. They feel fat or some negative way. I don't wanna date a girl who's taller than me because it makes me feel less masculine (insecure)
how does it make you feel less masculine, that is horseshit. Tall women are feminine too
I'm 6'3" and have never gotten a girlfriend, girls chose guys shorter than themselves over me. If this tall fact was true women should of been fighting over me as I'm taller than 99% of them.
i wanna know the answer too... then again, i doubt i'll have this problem considering i don't know how many girls are taller than 6'3.
Man, I was supposed to be 6'3, doctors told my parents that I was gonna be the tallest man in the family, then I had to ruin it by taking accutane , which stunted my growth
@Eric644: isn't that used for acne?
yes it is, but stunted growth is a side effect, unfortunately when we found out it was too late :(
@Eric644
Huh.. I didn't know that. I used accutane and I'm 6'1. For all I know I could of been 6'4 lol
@rjroy3 well , that side effect doesn't happen to everyone who takes it, i was just one of the unlucky ones
@Eric644- no offense, i think they just said you'll be tall and you just grew up short.
it's like the people who say coffee stunts your growth. i drank it since 7th grade before school since i didn't have the stomach to eat breakfast. i didn't suffer from height.
well, the doctors measured my bones at 2, which is the most accurate way of predicting height, so I don' t think he was wrong. The doctors also saw evidence of premature plate closure, which is proof of stunted growth, so was I suppose to be 6'3 maybe, maybe not, but i know I was suppose to be at least close to that height
I just like tall men. There's nothing special to it. I don't care about what anyone else does in their dating life.
I don't find it all important to be taller than women. I just find it important to protect the woman, regardless of my height to her.
Because girls liked to lean on their boyfriend's shoulders and its just a traditional thing that the man has to look more powerful
It's a traditional thing that is stupid and needs to change. Usually I like my girl to be huggable and I don't want to bend down to hug her, eye level is best, but I've dated both taller and shorter girls and frankly could care less
I guess everyone has their own opinion. many men like their girls taller tho :)
I dont think people should worry about height, although I've said eyelevel is best, I've dated both shorter and taller women. I think this whole height requirement thing is a traditional thing and like most traditional things (looking down on single mothers, condeming people who have premarital sex, unacceptance of gay people) needs to go away
because women are only attracted to dominant alpha males. height and physicality are important elements of masculine status.
dude, this isn't the stone age anymore. We are not supposed to dominate, women are human beings and deserve respect, you are the type of guy that i can see force his woman to stay at home and clean his messes and beat her up if she questions him, this is the type of mentality of men who claim to be about being "Alpha", they end up being wife beaters. Npw days being alpha is all about confidence and most true alpha men don't even mention being alpha
@Eric644
1. naturally, there are other methods to convey alpha male status but most of them are machiavellian or otherwise indirect. the modern alpha male wears a suit and makes a lot of money.
2. i don't need to force women to do anything because i know they will do their best to please me.
3. not true, i call a cigar a cigar and since i am an alpha male i will call myself as such.
not true, real alpha males are confident enough that they don't have to brag about being alpha. I agree with you on #1 in today's world being alpha is about sophistication, wealth, and intellect and less so about being big or tall, that was an older age
@Eric644 it's not bragging it's just me saying what is true - no less true than the fact my username is the_rake or the fact the sky is blue. i don't need to remind myself of my status as a genuine authentic alpha male because i already know it to be true. but if someone asks me i will kindly confirm for them that it is indeed a highly dominant, masculine that they happen to be talking to. it's just there as a fact.
yes, those things are very much important in the 21st century but physicality will emphasise a real man's high status attributes.
"Why is it so important for the guy to be taller than the girl?"
It usually the girl who insists that the guy have to be taller then her, and not the other way around.
Yes, that is true, but "why" do they want that?

I don't know why it's "so important" but I like slow dancing with a taller man.
I don't mind with taller girls, I can date them with full confidence 😎
Because... I don't want him to like hugging me because so he can bury his face between my boobs o. O
Why not? That sounds kinda hot.
@Mesonfielde Lol I want him to hug me for other reasons!
Why not both :D
@Mesonfielde I want to be certain that hugs have no sexually motivated incentives 😊 Hugs in my opinion are supposed to be innocent.
I think hugs should be innocent only if we're just friends <3 heh heh
Okay, I'm exaggerating
I don't think it's important at all.
This Is A New One, I Have Never Heard Of This Importance.
Height Never Came To My Mind While Dating, In
Fact Dated Several That Were Taller Than Me.
I Am 5'9" Dated One That Was 6'1", The Height Difference Never Came Up.
Well unfortunately it would just look odd in public if the guy is shorter. I wouldn't want to a woman through that if she felt uncomfortable. But if she was ok with it than I would accept her.
i'm 5'7, my last sorta girlfriend was 5'11, we didn't care
It's just another symbol of dominance over the female.
It's weird. Personally I'd love to date a girl taller than me
Men are taller than women, which is why both men and women prefer such acombination.
Because if you are shorter than the girl, your nose will be stuck in her armpits when spooning.
I'm most attracted girls as tall as me. I also don't get why people make such a big fucking deal out of it.
Taller is definitely okay too but I'm 6'1", I don't think I know any well who are taller than that.
It's not important for me, I like tall girls, even taller than me ;)
