Do guys fear girls who are taller than them?

[NordicFairytale]

It might be a stupid question but I'm kinda serious about it. I'm a tall girl myself (6ft), and I very often have difficulties with dating because of my height.

[MCheetah]

96% of straight women will not date (or sleep with) a man same height or shorter than them. And generally, only women put such emphasis on height, as most straight men (77%) don't care about height on a woman whatsoever. So, for some guys? Probably.

But me? I personally love tall girls! I feel like they're the perfect counterbalance to my own F-tier height. I loathe the height I am and it's my biggest (and one of my only) insecurities. Most girls I have dated were taller than me or the same height. Because they tend to be more accepting of my height than short girls; albeit not totally accepting. So I absolutely adore the tall girls willing to "date down," and go for men less than six feet tall.

I only know three women on the taller side, on this site, that would date men below six feet, and one of them is @Passion_Devil. Another is @JosyJosy. And a third one was a Russian amazon I thought was into men, but it turns out she's gay (and thinks of non-talls as a joke, anyway). But most girls aren't as kind and accommodating as the first two ladies, and have a hard dealbreaker against dating guys who are shorter than them, or just the opposite of tall, in general. And in the Western/First World, "Not tall" (short) for adult males begins at anything below 6'0"/183 cm, which is why most women don't want a man that feminine and dainty.

Yes, I'm gonna get as much use out of this portrait as I can.

[Siddeunusual]

My girlfriend is a lot taller than me. I don't fear her

[Cherry234]

Why would they fear taller girls? I would understand them not being attracted to girls taller than they are and preferring girls shorter than they are. Some guys may like girls who are taller than they are but they may not approach them because they assume those girls want guys taller than them

[Cherry234]

Thank you for MHO

[tiajoka]

Man I'm tryina educated the men here that tall women generally don't care about height as much because its equivalent to being a short man (so they get it) but some men dunno how to read and just ignore me and answer to guys who agree with them that ALL WOMEN. Smh

[globetrotter22]

I will say this once and I will say it again: guys do NOT fixate on height as much as women do. Yes it’s an issue but not that end of the world.

I personally like cute petite girls. But I’ve dated a girl who was 5’11’ (I’m 6 ft) and I could of cared less about it. She was taller then me when she had heels on but it didn’t bother me one single bit.

I wish women would stop fixating on height. I know they won’t but just saying. If you like tall guys, fine. But if he’s short then don’t blame him for something he has zero control over. If he meets an attractive woman who is taller then him it will cross his mind but if she gives him a chance he will get over it real quick.

[tiajoka]

Its really only short girls who care about height that much. Tall girls don't care about height very much at all generally. And are usually rejected for their height.

[MCheetah]

Women will never NOT stop fixating on height or wanting men at least six feet tall and up (unless humanity grows so much that six feet tall starts to become super short for men, like in the "Halo" universe where every Spartan is close to seven feet tall).

[globetrotter22]

@MCheetah and meanwhile they have whole pity party movements shaming men for not wanting BBW girls and being overweight is something you CAN change.

[MCheetah]

@globetrotter22
On top of it mainly just being white (and Korean) men who don't like thick/BBW girls. Black, Hispanic, and most other races like thick girls. But because most white men don't them, those men "don't count."

[224466881010]

All else held equal, I think most people BELIEVE that men don't like to date taller and women don't like to date shorter. I think that statistically this is probably true, but the belief is what keeps people from trying and that's the real issue.

Approaching romantic interests isn't easy as it is, and is therefore rare. There are so many societal 'conversations' about height that it's safe to assume that everyone has one about it. So maybe you'll have to be a bit more proactive and forward with people.

[Shizunk]

Not fear, but Ialso dont prefer it. I would definitely not allow that to get in the way if she was a great match in personality, interests and values. I guess it would help if a tall girl isn't disagreeable or combative. Being very feminine and supportive would help men not feel less manly. But there is something to be said in favor of having my face right where she has her breasts when we both stand up :-D That is a really dumb aspect to be considering but it did cross my mind earlier, so I suspect it may be a less obvious selling point.

[shepardmaddison]

To be completely honest, no. But guys don't usually feel manly enough next to a taller girl. It's probably comparable when girls wanna feel small and cuddled and therefore their preference is taller men... But there are men of all kind out there :) and probably most won't mind if the girl is taller... Would you go for a shorter one?

[NordicFairytale]

I understand. Yes I would

[shepardmaddison]

Okay that's interesting :) then you won't have any problem I think... DM if you want to talk about I'm interested on your thoughts ☺️

[abc3643]

Not me. I'd love to have dated a girl taller than me!

I did date a girl who was still growing when I met her. I think she eventually became slightly taller than me maybe when we were together or after. Looking at your picture, she looked quite a bit like you too!

[abc3643]

Welcome to GirlsAskGuys by the way.
We often abbreviate it as G@G.

[Miristheiss]

I didn't.
I am 6'2" so I was always on the tall side so I never had this insecurity about being short or afraid a girl would reject me for height or awkwardness because a girl was taller than me. Pretty much no one ever was. I always wish I could have dated a tall girl (the tall girls on the volleyball team were gorgeous) but I've never met any girls personally that was taller than me.

[Renegade_Sailor]

I am 6'1" so hasn't really been an issue.

My ex was 5' 10" I bought her some 6" high heels, and took her out on the town, she loved it because it was something she never got to do before.

If I was going to look for a woman to have kids with I'd be looking for a tall woman because I would want to give my son every chance of being as tall or taller than I am.

[MysteriousDarkness]

A lot of guys just think shorter women are better looking. Many bieve that the guy should be taller than the woman. More like intimidated maybe. I am 5'4 and dated a woman 5'10 and would date taller. Just curious but does the height of the guy matter to you?

[NordicFairytale]

No not really

[MysteriousDarkness]

@nordicfairytale
I believe that if your personality is at least half as good as you are beautiful and you connect on important things having go do with kids, marriage for example that you will find someone that will treat you right. Your height won't be a problem to them.

[lonelyguyintheworld]

I fear no one but the big man upstairs. but tall women are alittle intimidating at times at least I think so I know a few tall women and they all can drink me under the table and I can knock them back but all of them get um what's the word I'm looking for.. well super horney when drinking and handsy.

[Anonymous]

Do you approach? Nothing to do with fear. 99.9% of the time the tall woman wants only guys that are taller than her, which eliminates 99% of the guys. And even if this is not you, we guys know that most women feel this way so we just assume because it's a pretty safe assumption.

[tiajoka]

Its actually not really. A lot of tall women are sympathetic to the discrimination faced based on height, and are more then willing to date shorter guys.
As a tall girl myself, I was bullied and ostracized for it during school. And now as an adult, I struggle to find a man who is my height, slightly shorter or taller that is interested.
I have no qualms against dating short men, and most women I've talked to who are taller feel the same. (For reference, I'm about 5'10)

[Opinion Owner]

@tiajoka Women seem to care more about height in general I feel than guys do. Personally, while I do have a preference for shorter women, it really doesn't matter at all. In the end it's about the person, not her height. But I also rarely approach period, so I think it's important that women approach guys they are interested in also. And there's so many women where height is a deal breaker for them, and that's all we ever see/hear as guys. We never hear from the women like you that maybe don't care. It's the ones that do. Like if you look at women's profiles on dating sites, you'd be surprised how many women specify the height they want a guy to be. Personally I find it mind blowing lol. That it's actually a deal breaker for many women.

[tiajoka]

I'm not talking about all women though? I'm talking about tall women. And tall women are more likely to approach a man because they're less likely to be approached, generally because most men prefer shorter women. Being a tall woman has the same stigma as being a short man. We just don't whine about it all day long.

[Opinion Owner]

@tiajoka I'm talking about them to. And there's a lot of tall women that don't approach as well. But again, it's mind blowing to me the focus people (women especially in general) have on height. Something nobody has any control over and doesn't define who they are as a person in any way. But that's the society we live in.

[tiajoka]

I agree. But the people who care about height the least are usually tall women and short men. Both were almost always bullied, teased, or rejected for that aspect. Obviously its not 100% but its more typical than not. Of course there's tall women that don't approach, but there's lots of men who don't either. Especially with my generation where everything's online.

[AaronStudds]

Yes I do because I am afraid that they will pick me up and use me like a barbell. Just kidding. Nah I am not. I won't be afraid of a girl who is taller than me. If she is a gangster, I definitely will.

[Zygum]

6 feet, not too much height, there are men more than 6 feet tall. They will like you and you try to find such match, Short boys, they afraid that if you angry, your slap will be terrible, other reason is that he cannot kiss you in missionary position because his penis will come out from. Pussy when trying to kiss you

[Kaamraj]

No, not fear. I have never met a guy who fears women. But there is a belief that women mostly prefer men who are taller than them so if they are to stand a chance they must have some spectacular redeeming qualities.

[JosyJosy]

I don't think it's fear, more like preferring someone who is shorter than them. A friend of mine would have guys walk away as soon as they realized she was taller than them. Some don't feel less of a man around a woman taller than them. It's a pity.

[Exxon]

Fear? No. yet I wouldn't want her taller than me for sure..

[ohshee]

To be honest with you I have always had a fantasy about making love to a girl that is way taller than me there's something just so hot and sexy about that

[AlexanderAnttila]

Haha, "fear" is quite primal don't you think. It's not like I shiver down to my soul if I see a tall girl. Maybe some guys on the shorter side find it somewhat intimidating but no, we don't "fear" tall girls like some boogeyman.

[Fireguy17]

Not me, kind of nice having someone around that can get stuff offofo the top shelf!
All kidding aside, no, it never did bother me, and she could even wear heels if she wanted to.
I'm 5'11", pretty much average height.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Of course not. Most men shouldn’t have a problem with it. I welcome dating a woman taller than me. Most of my past gfs were around 5’6 to 5’8

[t-8900]

I'm 6'3 and would date a girl 4'10-6'2 honestly. But I'm so used to being taller than women that when I'm not it bugs me 😂

[Anonymous]

I don't fear them but dating-wise, I don't know. Tall women can be very rude to short guys. Say bad words, treat bad, make fun of guys shorter than her. I have faced it in past. I have no problem dating a taller girl but she has to accept me too. Sometimes even if they do date shorter men, soon they ditch the guys by listening to their friends or society. If someone taller than me ever genuinely cares about me, accepts me, then I will have no problem dating her.

[DaisyOpal]

I'm 5'6", which isn't terribly tall, but a lot of guys I've seen have been shorter than I am. So I sure hope not!

[NewgodX]

No
Height don't matter unless a female intentionally bring it up to use it as a reason she is right in a situation,

[BCA6010]

Guys don't care about height nearly as much as women seem to. For us, figure/proportions are more important.

[Caunsos]

Being 6'3" myself height not issue. I have a small preference for shorter girls because than she can handle the low down stuff and handle the high up stuff. But this really holds no real weight on my dating decisions.

[007kingifrit]

no. this notion that men "fear" any kind of woman is purely made up by women projecting their feelings onto men. i don't mind a girl's height either way

[Nik1hil]

I love tall girl..
She shouldn't be fat though...
She should be fit or slim or Thin..
And I am happy dating her..

[EmbraceThePain]

Not at all, I actually prefer women to be my height or taller.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Yea many are intimidated because "society-says" the guy has to be taller than her to make her feel safe and because they are only interested in taller guys

[Jayplays900]

I reaaally want a girl who is taller than me. Someone who can really just hug me and make me feel warm.

But sadly, I'm 5'3" so my shortness would probably be overwhelming to people.

[tiajoka]

Aw, tall girls usually don't have much a preference when it comes to height since they understand what it feels like to be discriminated based on it. Don't lose faith.

[Jayplays900]

@tiajoka Thank you, ma'am! I hope you are also treated well and I hope you find someone really special!

[ADFSDF1996]

No I just prefer short women and I know tall women in general don’t date short men.

[Anonymous]

No. Not at all. From what I've seen the issue is typically that women prefer dudes taller than they are and aren't interested in shorter guys. Guys generally don't care much about how tall the girl is--we're more focused on how hot she is.

[dolemite89]

nope i’m 5’10 and have date girls my height, i’d be open to dating a girl that’s taller than me but i usually just assume they want a guy that’s taller than them 🤷‍♂️

[Twalli]

Not really, generally girls won't date guys shorter than them. So that might be why you feel that way. If a guy isn't noticably taller, he may not approach you because he feels you will turn him down.

[Paul09]

Lol I do not fear. I do find a lot of tall women that are tall. I just don't get when they wear high heels. Then it's too tall for me. I end up looking like a kid lol.

[Omar156]

I wouldn’t say fear, but it’s the norm in society for men to be taller than the woman, so majority of guys wouldn’t wanna girl taller than them cos it would make them feel somewhat less masculine, I dunno that’s just my take on it

[CoolGuy7532]

I won't date girls who are taller than me. I'm just not comfortable with it.

[ckd420]

Yes they do I don't know why but we do this is coming from somebody who is 6ft 2 I didn't think that way until I met the girl who is taller than me scared the shit out of me don't know why but it did just being honest

[Riadsh]

Dating a good height guy with a good height girl like you is normal , guys and girls would jugdge if the boy looks short under 5'6 and and the girl is taller.
This a short guy ( who is barely 5'6 ) point of view.

[m33lad]

I fear FAT girls! They might eat me when I’m sleeping.
Since you wanna use the word “fear” instead of preference.

[SenseiSeptred]

It would be nice if I had a woman that was around my height so that I wouldn't have to bend my knees to kiss her.

[Deserter]

I'm not that particular but I have my limits. I'm fine so long as she's anywhere from like 4'10 to 5'10

[jasco]

I am honestly ok with a girl being taller than me. My brother's girl is taller than he his and that's fine with him

[Shiningtempest]

@nordicfairytale I fear a woman who's taller than myself because my Spidey-sense tells me the probability of a successful date with a tall woman is 0%.

[Hulk30]

me personally i dont as im only 5'9 im cool with that i prefer shorter women because of em generally bein more confident than taller women but tall women can get the dick to

[Redstang88]

No, I’ve dated more girls my height or taller than shorter

[NYCQuestions1976]

I've dated women shorter and taller than me. So fear? No. It's about chemistry.

[Wise4myage]

I don't fear taller girls, they're just not my preference for dating.

[Sidfawy]

For me i fesr from girls who near the land
Short girls but also they sexy can't help myself of that

[Snakeyes7]

No I think we'd imagine that our chances of scoring a date would be better if we ask the shorter girls out.

[JesseJayNeak]

It's not fear. Tall girls are usually not a target for interest because they usually prefer guys taller than them. So what you call fear is more like rejection

[DiegoO]

I am 6ft tall as well. Aren't there tall guys in your country? 6'4, 6'5?

[zagor]

No, not at all. Though if she is tall AND wide then I might worry about falling in...

[okeydoke]

I don’t. But have been rejected for being shorter (5’8”) before.

[KlinkyCoder]

I don't fear or won't date them, being a very tall girl to a shorter guy is sexy in it's own way.

[SmokinAces2000]

No I just don’t find girls taller than me physically attractive

[Cherry234]

Is same height okay with you?

[SmokinAces2000]

Yeah I’ve dated girls that were the same height as me before

[JohnO45]

Tall girls are very attractive to me. There aren't many girls taller than me but when I see them it's very memorizing.

[Grubhub]

It a lot of girls will be taller than me. At least it’s rare

[Ryfyle]

with a name like @NordicFairytale, you sure you're not racist?

[simpforeddie]

are you sure that you;re not racist?

[Ryfyle]

@simpforeddie Really need to get yourself a better poverty slab.

[smallandtiny]

I'm 5'2 and would love to date anyone as long as she has a vagina.
