No, even the women who answered "yes" are just trying to create an appearance of differences. If they were faced with the choice, then they too would choose taller guys. Shorter men are seen as deformed, and they elicit an instinctive negative reaction from most genetically normal women relating to evolutionary disgust (i. e. women have an anxiety that men will rape them, consistent across cultures, and with most men they are willing to stuff the anxiety, but with ugly men or short men, they figure it is better to just steer clear, because they don't want those men to forcibly implant "bad genes" in them. Note that this anxiety has nothing to do with the man's actual behavior.)
In REAL polling studies, 95% of heterosexual women say they would not consider dating a man shorter than them. An astounding 73% of women said they would not date a man under 5'10" (average height in US is 5'9.5"). Think about that. 73% of women are eliminating OVER HALF of the dating pool based on a single superficial trait. That's all fine, nothing to be done about any of it, people are allowed to have preferences and some of us just lost out on that genetic lottery.
... but then women claim it's the short guys who won't date them, blaming the men for their own misfortunes and calling them shallow, when the reverse is true. And it is also socially acceptable to assume that short men are aggressive, angry and depressed. Which may generally be the case due to environmental factors like bullying and loneliness, but it probably doesn't help that feminists, female dating coaches and "women dating strategy" acolytes are consistently trying to advance this narrative that if a man is short, it means he is also angry, entitled and socially inept.

I mean I prefer taller girls and haven’t really had a hard time finding desirable girls to date. So yeah they’re out there. Some girls don’t care about that stuff. Physical appearance plays a role in attraction but it takes more than that to win a person’s heart.
I wouldn't say that I prefer them, but I am open to the idea of being with a short guy. I'm very short myself but if I was moderate to tall height I would still be open to dating short guys anyway, there are some amazing short dudes out there, and there are definitely very short guys among men that I admire personally in my life.
I prefer to date a man that is taller than I am. However, I have slept with men that were the same height (5’7) as me or shorter who had a huge penis lol so short isn’t always necessarily bad.
I'm 4'10 so no. I'm really only attracted to guys 6ft+

I never had problems attracting women as 6'2 good looking dude i think (profile pic is real) since i was 16 i think
Yes that is true height and looks matter but they only open the door for you, personality will close it behind you
And that is 100% in Both cases 🤷♂️Some women like short guys, some don’t. I like tall men, it bothers me if they are shorter than me but I guess if I really like the guy the height wouldn’t really matter
Taller, but i don't have high demands for height. 3 inches taller is enough, I care more about other stuff. I am 167 cm/5'6", so 95% guys are taller anyway.
Every single girl I've dated has been taller than me. I wouldn't say they preferred it but they definitely didn't mind.
I prefer men who are around my height, maybe a little shorter or taller, but anywhere over about 3 inches taller than me is a pretty major turn off
Let me know when you find women 6 feet and taller who want to dare guys shorter than them because I'd like to meet them.
Lol I'm 5ft tall. So a guy who's 5'1 ft tall is fine for me haha.
I don't care at all. I've fallen for both short and tall guys the same.
The pic for the taller one looks like he is missing half his face haha and I prefer taller guys
No,
In my opinion it would be awkward. But if I really liked the boy and they happen to be shorter then me then yeahI like em taller. I’m 5’8” and I like to wear heels and still be shorter
I have seen women who prefer short men before, so they do exist, however they are sort of rare.
these too have gotten along okay so far.
What's with women's height obsession? Most would rather be single forever before dating a guy shorter than them.
I like being the height compared to him where if I wear heels we are the same height
Probably women out there well in excess of 6'0 are the ones who would prefer shorter.
no not these days id rather stay single forever than date a shorter guy than me its not happening.
Read what these women say and please tell me that women are not shallow
One of my favorite girls in the world, married a shorter guy, and had two kids with him
My partner is 6'1 and I'm 5'2 enough said
