Why do men complain about women preferring tall men? (Page 2)

Question

I’ve had my fair share of short guys 5’5”-5’8” tell me that I’m too tall as a 5’4” woman, for their liking. From my experience it’s always only the short guys who obsess over short girls. Taller guys never ever care about how tall a girl is

Because it’s annoying, I’m only 5”10 myself and I’ve had girls tell me I’m cute but I’m too short even though I’m about average height and then they end up with some 6”2 asshole that cheats on them all the time, I personally don’t care about a girls height as long as she’s shorter than me but it seems to me that a good amount of girls are obsessed with a mans height

Because height is something we don't have control of, so it seems "unfair" to be judged based on that.

Anyway, not all men are like that, I'm a short guy (165 cm, 5'5'') and don't see the big deal in women dumping me for that, it's how they feel after all. It would be more boring if all women preferred the same thing.

You cannot care about hip dips until woman make you aware of them. Tall guys need not ever be aware of height thus we don't care about it. Short guys get told by woman they are not good enough because x so they focus on it. Focus on the pain. I don't understand how u don't understand pain and hurt bothers people. People wanna to feel good enough.

Guys especially tall guys don't care about height but short guys generally get rejected especially by girls around the same height because the guys are considered too short, so to save themselves from rejection it's easier to just say the girl is too short because she's either gonna just leave the guy for someone hotter and taller or she's gonna reject him. But taller guys have better chances of getting any girl especially if they are really good looking.

Who actually thinks 5’4 is too tall? Do you mean too short? Why would an average height guy want a super short girl? I mean if I was already attracted to her maybe but I’d feel like a giant with anyone under 5’4. I think it would be a bit intimidating.

Men will date women shorter (to a point, no midgets) equal height, and taller than them if they can manage it. Women however always seem to want to date men a couple inches taller than them, which to men of equal height to those women seems unfair and petty really. Throw in the fact women artificially increase their height with heels and it just gets downright infuriating

Mofunfour20 · Answer

Because most guys are shorter than women wearing heels, which is why women have that standard. Women feel protected with a man of stature that makes them feel small

I've never understood why people care about height so much, for both men and women. Like, I've never seen a girl and thought "wow this girl is SO short. That's hot af 😩". That just seems really weird to me.

AlexanderAnttila · Answer

You can like them all you want. But liking tall guys is one thing and completely ripping down on short guys another. I've seen disgusting comments made by women. That's probably what some guys object to in this case.

Because women obsess over it and place far more emphasis on it far beyond its actual importance in finding someone to have a decent relationship with. Yes in the past picking a taller man might have been important from a survival/biological point of view as he is judged to more capable of keeping her safe but if you constantly turning guys down because they are a couple of inches shorter than some target you have in your head then you deserve to be single.

As a 5feet 8ish dude i see no problem for women having a prefrence.  Hard limiting it to a number seems pretty stupid though, but that is their choice.

My first and last pre-date girlfriend. She was taller than me even without her heels on.  I don't mind this nose piercing: I like these nails:

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

I think height normally only matters to tall women and short men. Not all but more often than not in my experience, usually not more than "taller/shorter -than me-" though so I don't know why a 5'8 would think you're too short.

Too_Honest · Answer

I don't know man but they’re some of the most bitter people. And it’s ironic considering most of them wouldn’t bother dating a girl taller than them anyway.

MrCommodore · Answer

Yeah my own height or a woman I'm dating height isn't something I really thought about or cared about. The tallest girl I dated was 5ft 7", which is fine as I'm over 6ft.

You need to realize just how many men hate themselves. If you dont believe me, just think about how there's an organization called the military that takes advantage of that. They join because they dont care if they die. So when you girls go around talking about this shit, it isn't funny. Dont project your narcissism onto short, normal, or tall men. We literally dont overvalue ourselves, you aren't humbling us when you incessantly talk about your picky standards.

OddBeMe · Answer

I would say women have more standards and look for reasons to say no to men. So height would be an issue. But that’s their prerogative.

Also chicks are influenced by the media’s idea of perfect coupling.

This is major CAP!! It's actually the tall guys that always talk about how much they like short girls. Almost all of them like girls like 5'1-5'2 tall. Most short guys i usually see on here love tall girls, and often even girls taller than them.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

5’4” is average for a woman isn’t it?  Also, I personally like women who are closer to my height or taller.

Feelicks · Answer

I mean it's kind of arbitrary but you do you. I don't like short guys either, they always seem to want to fight me. Like chill out short stack LoL
