Why do short women like tall men more than short men?

[aq121]

By short women I mean 5'2 and under, most of these women are with tall men rather than short yet still taller

[mich15smith]

because societaly tall men are considered more masculine and women want masculine men. Because of society

[Iron_Man]

Because in the male human kingdom woman want somebody that they can be proud of and look up to not down at. They want a man that can protect them

[aq121]

That doesn't make sense. A guy thats taller than a woman isn't shorter than him. Protect from what?

[aq121]

*than her

[Iron_Man]

I don’t understand what the problem is here I told you woman like Tall guys they want to feel protected and safe so you confuse the heck out of me with your statement

[aq121]

"look up to not down at" thats not possible if the guy is taller, yet not tall.

[Iron_Man]

I said look up to not down at somebody shorter than them

[aq121]

And I clearly stated short yet still taller men are rejected by a woman whom are not looked down at.

[Iron_Man]

Never mind we’re totally on different pages from each other

[aq121]

Seems like it

[LeeannaDD]

I don't know why but I’m 5’1” and my hubby is 6’3”

[aq121]

Were you ever interested in below 6 feet?

[nodnol32]

So that their children don't end up short.

[aq121]

Thats not how it works

[nodnol32]

Was kind of a comical opinion of mine. Subconsciously it could be the case. I don't know. Most women do want a man taller but the short women seem to want the man so tall that he makes up for her lack of height too. My girlfriend was into really tall guys but we ended up together and she fell for me too. I'm the shortest she's ever dated. I'm 5'10.

[aq121]

Thats the dumbest shit i've ever heard. So tall women need to date short men to "make up for their lack of height" how tall was your girlfriend?

[nodnol32]

Mate, i'm not providing the exact answer to your question, I'm just portraying what its like. I don't know why height is such a thing. there's a bigger picture to the relationship. My girlfriend is 6'2 by the way.

[aq121]

I have no idea I can't read the minds of women. 6'2 is tall for a woman, thats in no way short so I can understand why she would want tall men. The question is why do short women 5'2 and under insist on being with men 6'0 and up only? I can't answer that question, you probably can't either cause you're a guy too so who knows.

[nodnol32]

True. A mystery. Maybe a tall guy with a super short woman can? I don't think we'll get a concrete answer from a short woman.

[aq121]

We'll just have to wait and see
