Why is it seen as shallow to not want to date someone who's shorter than you? (Page 2)

Question

I don't want to date someone who's shorter than me because its traditional for the boyfriend to be taller than the girlfriend and I don't want to feel like a giant next to my mans. Why can't it be a preference?

Mia_pearl · Answer

It isn’t. The only ones who say that are short people.

Dsg1193 · Answer

I feel the same way. I’m 5’7 and I’d prefer to be with a guy over 5’10. It just feels odd to be with a guy that’s shorter than you.

Nothing wrong with it. I dont date fat/obese girls. And yes I know that's shallow, but it's my preference at the end of the day.

Dankster96 · Answer

Have the preference all you want. The premise is that it's wrong to penalize people for things out of their control.

chunlilovesvega · Answer

that guy in the picture has to be the man of my dreams :/

Liam_Hayden · Answer

It is okay to have any preferences you desire. It is your life.

Giggletr0n · Answer

I guess the short guys view it as some kind of discrimination

Turkishkurd · Answer

Most of them want girls to date guys closer to their height not shorter than them.

SunnyCaliGirl · Answer

It's not a shallow thing at all, for myself I need someone who's taller lol

brittslitt · Answer

themomo84 · Answer

I think because that person could be the love of your life even though they could be shorter than you.

Sweatyotterr · Answer

Its not its fine i dont want to date a fatty or a feminist you can have standards

gemgem · Answer

It’s shallow but normal. Just know that’s if you are very tall yourself, you are greatly limiting what guys are available for you to be with

DDpsy · Answer

Pretty sure most of the complaints are about having ridiculous requirements like nothing under 6'2''.

Anonymous · Answer

I don’t want to date a heifer either cos it’s traditional that women be slim.

Twenty2 · Answer

Traditionally women should stay at home and man should earn the bread. Just saying.

Pulimuli · Answer

Its natural although I've slept with women taller than me most women want a guy taller than them

ghostqueen · Answer

Because it is. Who cares?

Anonymous · Answer

That's perfectly fine. How tall are you and does that mean you're at least ok with dating a guy whos the same height as you?

Dionigi · Answer

The real problem is judging shallow preferences as bad

bhavy24 · Answer

A guy shouldn't like a girl solely based on her height

TheSikuu · Answer

No one likes rejection. Underlying anger is always fear.

jokerishere88 · Answer

I can say it doesn't matter how tall your lover is all it is how much you love that person

bklynbadboy1 · Answer

It's not shallow your right that's a preference. You like what you like you can't help that.

Anonymous · Answer

Women are hypergamic that means we always want a man stronger than us. It's instinct. Our brain screams us to not have sex with a man weaker than us. That's why women always want stronger, taller, manly men.

Pejtu · Answer

Im 6'2 and i would say girls really love tall dudes im talking from experience , its not shallow its what most women want

-Asca- · Answer

It cam be a preference, but a preference is not a necessity.

zagor · Answer

Nothing wrong with preferences. But if you're a girl who is 6'2 it would severely limit your options.

Anonymous · Answer

Not shallow just kind of backwards, like not dating a girl because she can’t cook

Anonymous · Answer

Because it is. I always see a bunch of height queens who obsess with men over 6 ft. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

Anonymous · Answer

Its not the same way men want nice big tits ans ass and sexy waist and not to be taller than them

animus1988 · Answer

How tall are u anyhow

Anonymous · Answer

The only reason this bugs people is because we get judgement for not wanting a girl that is fat. Yet girls who hate us for wanting a slim figure judge based off height. Its hypocritical.

jonty69 · Answer

Though it's your choice with it. Otherwise it's fine to date any shorter man than you.

JamesRandiDebates · Answer

100% of women want a guy over 6 feet, which is less than 20% of the male population.

cykasenpai · Answer

cuz feminism and stuff
