They just do because for hundreds of thousands of years, women wanted men who count kill sabertooth tigers with their bare hands and sh*t and men who were small; under six feet, couldn't do that. So it's hardwired into their DNA; to them, men aren't
supposed" to be short and they're considered subconsciously genetically inferior/weak if they are, and thus, unworthy of mating, breeding, or making children with.
And before anyone gives me any crap about "men being shorter in the past," no, you're wrong. The default height of adult Homo Sapien men is 184 cm, or six feet tall. The agricultural age is what shrunk men down like six inches and it took hundreds of years, if not thousands, for society to catch back up, and even now, only Europe has caught back to cavemen height. But scientifically men are SUPPOSED to be at least 184 cm and any man below that is genetically considered short. So anyone can shut up if they try to get on me for that.
It depends on the woman how she was raised and what she thinks.
There’s maybe a sense to tall being more powerful or feeling feminine or dancing and such is better. But most of that can be overcome by other strong qualities you offer. I’m general … short is an excuse to say ‘no’ and it’s your challenge to overcome.
My husband is 5' 9 and I'm the same I like men my own height to 5'6"
Never wanted someone towering over me
Shorter men are not inferior and when women think they are I find that strange

It is true in general that men and women both consider short men inferior. It's just programmed into the DNA, I mean bigger is stronger in about almost everything in a physical context.
But short women are just perceived as being more passive or submissive and some guys find that attractive.
Well, it's a vestige from the early days of humans when being bigger meant better able to defend your woman in hand-to-hand combat, which is largely irrelevant today. Today, it's part of hypergamy, where a woman needs to be sure she has the "best" she can get, as ridiculous as that may sound. Here's an example: my 5'9 sister complained that her husband (a surgeon) is "only" 5'11 and is the shortest male in his family.
Its biology. Over hundreds of years women looked for protection for herself and her children and tall strong men were seen as the viable partner, for men it was about spreading the seed, thats why men look for sex over everything.
Romantic stories and men are usually taller than women biologically so I guess they want a guy who is a little taller than themselves
I think it's natural. The female subconsciously looking for the biggest bull. This is the case with many species.
short men are inferior, they are all ways trying to be big. we had a pub and it was always the short men who started the trouble never a big guy
They feel more protected from what I’ve heard even though they are shorter than most men anyway, I’m not even 6 foot but it really hasn’t been a problem, not having any luck anyway lately because I’m older
The misconception is this is a social preference when really it's biological.
And we consider shallow gold diggers and sluts inferior
