Why don't most men like dating tall women?

Question

I'm around 6'1ft tall and I've noticed most men don't want to talk with me because of my height. What is their problem?

Hmmh. I have known tall girls to complain that tall guys go for short girls when they really need the tall guys. I have known tall guys to say they never picked a short girl - the short girls picked them.

It seems that girls have a very strong preference for tall guys. If you are an average height guy that's not good enough. I think therefore there is more female competition for the tall guys. So you need to elbow the shorties aside (that's a joke with serious overtones).

The good news is that guys prefer girls who are a bit shorter but not as much as girls like to be shorter.

Most guys will be happy with a girl a tall as they are or a bit less. In your case that's about one third of males. That's not too bad girl - you only need one.

Short summary there is a preference amongst both guys and girls that the guy is taller but guys are far less picky than girls are. Second point is that only one third of guys will be taller than you. Third there is a lot of female competition for tall guys.

Sorry I think you have to compete. Note so much wait for guys to talk with u but u go talk with them.

Little dick energy. They need a pixie fairy height of a woman to feel like a "man." Tbh most of the guys that tend to avoid tall women are tall men themselves. Short/average guys like me don't care that much if a girl is tall. I've come across cringey annoying tall guys that simp the fuck out of short women, i'd avoid them if I were you. Most tall guys even expect tall women to magically go after them as if they can't even man up and put in the effort, avoid those people too. If you actually give my short brethren a chance, you won't be disappointed, we'll probably put more effort in the relationship than just some average tall guy that won't do shit.

Would you be comfortable dating a guy shorter than yourself, or are you just afraid you have little choice in the matter because you’re tall?
Most women would rather date guys taller than themselves. That’s not a problem, it’s a preference. Similarly, most men would rather date women shorter than themselves. Also just a preference. It only seems like a problem to you because it limits your dating pool. Short guys have similar concerns. Look at the bright side, you’ll waste a lot less time and energy on typical guys.

It's kinda weird if she bends down to kiss me lol. I look up at her to talk to her. It's just weird to me. I like it the other way around.

Certain positions I wouldn't like as much with a woman taller than me. For example spooning, smaller woman fits perfectly as little spoon. I can hold her entire body tightly in front of me.

Smaller woman I can easily carry her. Also do that hug where I hold her tight and lift her up with ease.

Smaller woman are just so cute too lol. When I'm into her, I just wanna squeeze her tight!

I feel like a taller woman would dominate me in bed lol. I want to dominate her lol.

Personally I love tall women. 6’1” might be a little tall for me but Part of me would be super curious I can’t recall a time I ever saw a girl that tall who also seemed like my type. If there is one thing I hate about dating it’s that I hate feelings like I’m babysitting and not just with a friend. Which is why I think taller women are so great cuz they tend to be more independent and kinda see life more like I do. Don’t worry 95% of guys may not like u for ur height but 5% will absolutely go crazy for it. Just might take a bit of effort to find the right one but I promise there are guys who absolutely love tall women.

This isn't true. Most men have zero opinions on female height, beyond the extreme ends (4'0" or 7'0"). It's just that MOST WOMEN in general will reject a guy for being too short; especially same height or shorter than her. I actually *prefer* women 5'10" to 6'5".

LOL, lots of men PREFER dating tall women. Your height is perfect.

But if a guy isn't interested, it's usually because they assume you won't be interested in a guy who you're taller than or they really like short women.

The only reason I could think of is they have an inferiority complex, they feel like less of a man when a woman is taller than he is. I have no issue with a taller woman

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

Guys like shorter... Girls like taller... It just looks and feels better.. That's reality... Some cool and close couples don't care about that tho.. But it's rare

MikeInHawaii · Answer

So many women are hung up on height and don’t want shorter men, they may assume all men think like that. I’ve gone out with taller women. I don’t see a problem.

BeMuse · Answer

You're not attractive to them. Seems more like your problem.

Berethor · Answer

Men are on average half-head teller than women, so a 6'1ft tall woman look too masculine.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I haven't seen this to be the case. Most men I know couldn't care less. Women want to date men who are taller than them.

It is unlikely it is due to your height, unless you're over 6'5 or so.
