If he prefers tall girls, then I don't see anything wrong with it. There are plenty of guys out there who like short girls and not tall girls. People have the right to their preferences and they shouldn't be considered shallow for having them. This is coming from someone who doesn't have a pretty face. My face is more masculine than feminine and I don't find guys shallow for not being attracted to me.
I mean... Women reject men for being too short all around the world, all the time, without the slightest shadow of a second thought.
So, it would be the utmost height of hypocrisy to lay into a woman for doing the same.
Not really, you can't be everyone's cup of tea. Also big height differences can be awkward asf.
Meh, women do this all the time and don't get told their shallow.
No. If she's too short, it can be kind of uncomfortable. Also, height is part of the attraction, therefore if he's not that attracted to a short girl, then he shouldn't date her.
And most guys don't prefer tall girls. When I say short I mean like 5'0 or below. For a 6+ft guy, a 5'0 girl can be too short.
WhIle I'm always the first guy to say you're entitled to what you like and preferences, I have always agreed that rejecting people based on height (mainly when it's the 5' girl saying she won't date anyone under 6') is shallow as hell
And I'm a 6'2 guy so I hardly have this problem, so it's not pettiness

Girls reject short guys routinely, many girls are crystal clear they wouln't date someone unless above xyz height. But still preference is preference. I can agree with you up to a point, it is shallow. I wouldn't reject a girl if she was short, but I'm a leg man she needs to have some height hence slender legs.
"of course guys have a preference for tall girls"
That's where you go wrong. This is some urban legend. There are countless polls around hereproving that it isn't the case - but the tendency is shorter girls slightly being favoured to taller girls.
"We all have some pereferences but we can't demand all these as requirement list."
Where do you make the cut? Which preferences are legit to be a dealbreaker and which aren't?
Yes it is shallow, just like if a guy rejects a girl because she is taller than him.
I think most of those "height requirements" are based on insecurities, but a lot of people are gonna be insecure so better just ignore them and look for someone who can see the real you instead of your height.

What? Since when do guys reject girls for being too short?
I'd say it was down to preference but it seems it's not considered shallow when girls reject short guys.
"We all have some preferences but we can't demand all these as requirement list."
Why not? I don't think not picking someone based off height is any more shallow than other reasons people don't date other people.
First of all, you can't tell us guys what we have a preference for. You're in no place to do that. Secondly, if I had a preference for a tall girl, but I met a short girl who was great in every other way, I'd look beyond the height situation and still be with her. The world isn't perfect. Sometimes you just need to appreciate people.
Is it shallow for women to not even consider a man who's less than 5'10"? And even men 5'10" to just under 6'2" are going to have to have something else going for them to make up for their height.
Wait, since when did guys have a preference for tall girls? How did this blantantly untrue fact come about and why is it being perpetuated?
I am a short guy and I have come to accept most tall women and even short ones will reject me for my height. Once it is done nicely and not insensitive then it's fine. It's better than leading someone up the garden path.
😭 if guys really didn't date short girls I'd b screwed. I'm only 4'10 lol though my boyfriend is a whole foot taller
Depends on how short. If its so short that you feel it would get in the way of being comfortable, when it comes to talking face to face, walking side by side to look at each other, feeling like you are walking with someone who could be mistaken as your child, etc...
I don't think so, no.
For the record, at least in my country, more guys like short girls than tall. Some like tall, but the bias in general is towards short girls.
Where do you live?
BAHAHAHHAHAAH u serious anon babez? Ur kind if not all wants a 6ft giant and if he's not the hulk or what is portrayed in media, no babez would even look twice at him.
Not really it's just a preference.
Girls do it to guys all the time.
As a 5'10 guy I can't date under 5'4 unless she is a stunner like Scarlett Johansson else I'll just feel like her dad lol
I don't think it's shallow. I'm a tall woman and I won't date a man that is the same height or shorter than me. Its just awkward for me.
i dont get what this thing about tall girls is i prefer my girlfriend to be a little smaller not taller than me
Don't women do this all the time?
i dont think its shallow at all.
its more stupid than shallow. i love short girls!
