Is it wrong for woman to prefer tall guys?

Question

I was recently discussing with my guy friend & I told him I prefer guys taller at least 6 feet bc I’m pretty tall myself. & he said I should be searching for love not looks. Is it wrong for some women to have this preference?

The general preference isn't wrong but how y'all women go about it is highly off putting. Imagine a man says, i prefer women with a healthy and athletic physique. That means he's open to many weights and heights and compositions. A gymnast would qualify and so would a soccer player. But what if he said, only girls that weigh 125lbs or less. Oh you weigh 126? No thanks. Oh you have more muscle mass and weigh 140lbs but are actually skinnier than most of the lower weight girls? Nope. doesn't matter. What if everything else he wanted in a girl was above and beyond his expectations? Nope you dont qualify based off a measurable number. Its just rude to be so specific about a physical feature which is superficial.

A polite and open minded way to date taller men is just say you only want men taller than you. Thats reasonable. If you're legit 5'11" then fine say 6ft and up. The thing is there are tons of 5ft tall midget girls demand men who are 6ft and up. Whyyyy? Why not 5'11? What if he's is the perfect specimen of maleness but is 5'9" and she's only 5ft? What is the good reason why not to date him? It seems totally irrational and on top of it is presented in a rude way. Like would a jobless drug addict who is 6ft be a better match than a great guy who is 5'11"? Is it that important? Because it comes off as that important the way women say it sometimes.

I dont date women taller than me and highly prefer girls that are very short. But i would never exclude a woman from having a shot just because i set an arbitrary number like 5'2" or less. I simply keep an open mind and want one shorter than me. Good thing too. My current girlfriend is a giant compared to my exgfs and if i blocked her shot as soon as i found out i would have missed out. by the way she's 5'3" and I've never had a girlfriend above 5'2" in my life. Guess what? Its not a big deal seeing as im 5'10".

Hope that helps.

It's shallow and lame, but it's to be expected since most women are like this. My short hobbit ass at 180 has given up looking for love. Pretty much all straight women are like the OP here, so it's hard to say if it's "wrong" for women to only want the top 20% of men. Supremely unfair and pretty shallow, but can't really call it "wrong."

I agree with the friend. People SHOULD be searching for love, not shallow traits men can't even control. But hey, since when do people give a damn about love or genuine relationships?

So date whoever you want; it's not like you're NOT going to go after tall men, regardless of what anyone on GAG says. Why even bother asking the question?

Lol don't listen to your friend. He's right about not making looks your number one priority but you shouldn't force yourself to date someone you're not attracted to. Most women are attracted to men who are taller than them. You're tall so I get that you want a tall man. Would you be okay with at least dating someone the same height as you or have you ever dated anyone slightly shorter than you?

It's okay if you prefer tall guys, I'm short (5ft) and I honestly look for short guys but they turn me down because I'm not taller than them. So I ended up with a tall guy because my height didn't bother him.

Are you not at all attracted to guys who are 5' 9" or are you attracted but reject them because it would "look funny?"

Anonymous · Answer

No, of course it's not wrong. You are attracted to who you are attracted to, and turned on by what you are turned on by.

But here's the thing... women have been demonizing men for decades for being "shallow", and now you women are just getting a little payback. Actually, more to the point, men are holding up a mirror for you so you can see you are no different. So if you don't want to be called shallow, stop fucking calling men shallow.

Men have had enough of being called the "bad guy" for doing what nature designed us to do by, women who are no different. Women are finally getting their due, and it's about time.

demonics · Answer

No, I think its just important for women to realize that obsessing over that will exclude, 85% of men. Literally ANY further criteria beyond that, that number will immediately shoot up to 99%. And before you even start with the BS, no one is insecure about this, its called MATH.

No, people's preferences are not wrong. In every sexually reproducing animal individuals have preferences. It's an inevitable result of sexual reproduction. How do you think the peacock's tail got so large?

Anonymous · Answer

Well often for many women it's not a "preference" but actually a deal breaker. And something that has nothing to do with the type of person he is, nor anything he can control. And I don't think women realize how much that's limiting your "options". But, one of the advantages you women have is you can be that "selective" lol. Do I have a height preference, sure, but it's just that. NEVER a deal breaker.

SladeTannon · Answer

Preferences are fine, you don't owe anyone anything. It would be hypocritical to only want really tall guys but then complain about not being able to find someone, for example. But that's a you problem, not anyone else's business.

Sonorous · Answer

Considering that we all discriminate against one another for uncontrollable factors, I wouldn't say it's wrong. It's just the brutal reality of a living being that's wired for survival & reproduction.

Anonymous · Answer

There's nothing wrong with it so long as you don't complain about what's left of the choices in the dating pool after you've eliminated all the short guys. I mean it's like if I said I was going to eliminate all women with smaller than a D cup. Because it's my preference. Are you going to feel bad for me if I say I'm having trouble finding a good woman? Because she needs to have at least D cups to be a viable woman?

HighValue · Answer

It is totally fine. I am 6' tall and I have preferences too. Nothing wrong with having preferences. Just also expect the other person to have preferences as well.

RealMarek · Answer

You can’t help having the preference. However, if you find yourself having difficulty getting a man to commit to you, you would do well to consider a shorter man with a great personality... or invest in cat food.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

I’m 6’6”. I do not think it is wrong because that is just natural instinct. Going back to the caveman days, being tall and strong women want that for their kids. They also want to feel protected. Not saying short men cannot do that though.

Bside · Answer

Why does it matter just date who you want. people worry about nonsense.

Honest-Matt · Answer

I think it's okay to have preference. But being judgmental of people for any reason is just a bad personality trait for anyone.

Cluelessguy95 · Answer

Is not wrong because it's your personal preference.
It's just that height it's something you can control so it's no fair.
Your friend might be referring that you shouldn't discard short guys and you might find your soulmate.

MrtoddsWildRide · Answer

Ask your friend how he feels about women that have stomach problems giving them uncontrollable flatulence.  Suddenly having a preference isn't that bad to him, I am sure.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

It's normal and not any of your friends business. I wouldn't date a girl who's taller than me. Everyone has preferences. Date whoever you want

TheFlak38 · Answer

the problem is when women say with a straight face "I care about personality. not looks" you really believe people around you are too stupid to see what a fuckin liar you are in that case.

Hangry06 · Answer

No. It's just a preference. It's still a preference even if you were short

Surely · Answer

Your guy friend is correct in my thinking. But it is your preference and you will be the one living with your choice.

Anonymous · Answer

No more so than it'd be wrong for me as a guy to "prefer girls shorter than 5 feet bc I'm pretty short myself". Would you be perfectly fine with that?

AndrésC64 · Answer

It's not wrong. People can't control what they are attracted to.

Blake170 · Answer

Nothing wrong with that. I'm 6'3 so I guess I have nothing to worry about there.

Wise4myage · Answer

No, because if you look around, you will hardly ever see girls dating guys shorter than themselves.

UdontNeedtoknow · Answer

We all have our prefrencies, however its wrong to not date a guy just because he isn't tall. You never know who you might match with in life.
