Why is the height so damn important? (Page 2)

Question

So we all know that the height of a guy matters in dating, and I as a fairly short man tried to challenge this fact that women prefer taller men. But challenging and confronting women about it had an interesting outcome, an almost aggressive deffense of their height prefferences, and after this a bit insulting finish to the conversation. almost the exact same thing was said by multible women at the end. Something along the lines of "you're short just accept women don't like short men" said in the kinda tone that says "you're a lost cost" the thing i don't understand is this very agressive response i've seen with several women when challenging their points and trying to understand whats going on. Because i've never seen it as being that important, then again i've never challenged and confronted womens points on it like I have now. So can some of you women spell it out for me like a 5 year old. Why is the height so damn important? And please don't go into super deffense mode. 😅

Why I prefer men taller than me? Honestly I have no clue. I often find myself more drawn to taller guys and it turns me off a bit when a guy appears to be short. I don't know why, it's a preference.
There’s probably some evolutionary basis to it, since so many women have this preference.
I have liked guys my height before in the past, but honestly never a guy shorter than me.

Well how tall are you? I personally don’t care about height and never knew why my girl friends cared about guy’s height so much. My crush’s height is the same as my own. If we’re gonna look at physicality, I’d rather look for a type of built than height

To me at least it's very dumb to only go after someone because of their height like height should probably be almost one of the last things on the list of choosing a partner because height doesn't evolve physical look but more presence. Like Hugh Jackman is tall but the character Wolverine that he played in the comics is actually pretty short.

Not everyone looks at height, I look at my connection with this guy, how comfortable am I, can I be myself, do we have common interests, is he serious or the joking kind, caring ETC. So not everyone looks at height but I do see that it matters to a few people I've met.

I feel uncomfortable when i am dating someone who shorter than me. If i must be honest i do not know why i feel uncomfortable. In other hand higher guys feel to me i am protected and i need this feeling.

I like tall men bc i am 5’7, that’s what I’m attracted to but most importantly that’s what makes me feel feminine it makes me feels safe subconsciously. But if I meet a good man and he’s shorter I will definitely give it a try.

Society tells woman that being feminine = thin, short, needs to be protected, etc. These are all things that dating a taller man allows woman to feel. I personally want someone who is taller then me but I’m 5’3 so it’s not hard to find. I guess you just need to find the right person that either doesn’t care for height or is short lol

I don't have anything personal against short men, but I can't say I've had great experiences with them either. Also I'm just more attracted to guys who are at least 5 inches taller than me🤷 there are preferences as well as biological reasons.

It isn't important to all of us. The sooner people stop painting everyone with the same brush the better we will all be.
