The fact of the matter is that most women, either consciously or subconsciously, want a "manly man," a. k. a. a man who is "bigger" than they are. That's a hugely controversial statement, but its anchor in our biology is indisputable. Since the average height for women is 5'6" (in the US), men who are 5'6" or under are at a slight disadvantage when it comes to mate selection by females.
Tall women are also at a disadvantage, since the majority of men prefer a mate who is their height or smaller than themselves. Again, this is rooted in our biology.
And none of this to say that outliers don't exist. I'm very short, but also look very young, which has turned plenty of guys off. Felt unfair at the time, but it makes sense. Being mistaken as my husband's daughter is bizarre and a little demeaning for both of us. Though I still prefer tall men (taller than the average height for women), I have in the past had romantic feelings for men as short as 5'. They had fantastic personalities, were successful in everything they put their mind to, and exuded confidence (not arrogance). They were also happily married to a much taller woman. So an outlier can develop even in the midst of a typical preference for those with gold standard personalities (a thing that can be cultivated in anyone).
I don't see any hypocrisy in tall women bemoaning the lack of men who will date them. Many men won't date taller, and bending your own standards for the sake of desperation isn't attractive either. That said, IF a woman had nothing else against a shorter man, this man had a great personality, and was completely into her, but she STILL overlooked him on account of his height? I would say she is being too rigid with herself and doomed to romantic failure. I wouldn't date anyone that rigid.
As a tall girl, I've experienced a lot of shorter guys that like me but don't want to be with me because they feel emasculated by being the shorter one in a relationship. Having a short guy like you and having a short guy that's willing to date you are not the same
If true id agree. but maybe they experience shorter guys who will not date them.
And shorter Women do date shorter guys.. maybe the models dont.
Date people who are actually interested in you. Problem solved.
I have never really dated a tall women, even tho plenty of them ahve been interested. I am a fairly short dude (175cm) and have hooked up with lots os taller women. I would say 3/4 of them wanted to date me as well, but I could not do it as tall women creeps me out.
