+1 yNo, 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.40 Reply

677 opinions shared on Dating topic. 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.

+1 yI 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.

+1 yI 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.

Damn
You're TINY, but you want 6+. That's gonna look so weird, and it'll be hard to kiss.
On the plus side, you don't have to get on your knees to suck his dick. :p - +1 y

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 🤷♂️10 ReplySome 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

+1 yTaller, 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.

Less than 5% of women get abortions, so let's make it illegal
- +1 y
@Armourdillo NOPE By the age of 20, 4.7% of women get an abortion. By the age of 45, 23.7% of women get an abortion. Where are you getting your facts from? Either you had a bad source or are purposefully being misleading. LOL
+1 yEvery single girl I've dated has been taller than me. I wouldn't say they preferred it but they definitely didn't mind.
20 ReplyI 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

How can a height be akward? Sounds like a an excuse for you being shallow. Just admit it instead of projecting it as an fault of man for just existing as he is
+1 yI like em taller. I’m 5’8” and I like to wear heels and still be shorter

+1 yI have seen women who prefer short men before, so they do exist, however they are sort of rare.
11 Replythese too have gotten along okay so far.
20 ReplyWhat's with women's height obsession? Most would rather be single forever before dating a guy shorter than them.

+1 yI like being the height compared to him where if I wear heels we are the same height

Something tells me you’re short too
Opinion Owner+1 yNope. I am not 6 foot but I am not short.
Why... was that a cheap attempt at a shaming tactic or are you a height queen?
Opinion Owner+1 yMost fat girls are height queen's which makes it a funny oxymoron since they get triggered by width preferences, but have height preferences.

As stated in my question, I have dated shorter guys. Your personal attack is as poor as your attitude. You’re on anonymous because you know you lack the capacity to be tracked. Honey, please. If you’re that butthurt about your height, buy platforms xxx
Opinion Owner+1 yYou were throwing shit long before I pointed out the obvious.
My anonymity doesn't invalidate facts.
Don't be a height queen is you are overweight.
" I find it a bit weird to date shorter guys"- +1 y
I never threw anything at you. And yes, it would be weird to date a guy shorter than me, considering I’m 5 foot 3, but you missed the facts and that’s where your downfall was hun
what about neither? or like boys around my hieght?

Not true. Have met short men who dated really hot girls.
Opinion Owner+1 y@2os4ngeles Rarely. That's minority.. and it's for money
- +1 y
Certainly wasn't for money. Both were still in school. Height is a big deal for most women, but women look at all your traits. Napoleon was short, remember.
Opinion Owner+1 y@2os4ngeles As if women liked Napoleon!
- +1 y
Are you kidding? Of course women liked Napoleon. Fame is the strongest aphrodisiac there is. Why do you think male stars have throngs of screaming girls outside their hotels?
