I've dated women shorter than I, the same height as I, and also a bit taller than I. At between 5'9 and 5'10 depending on how my hip feels I'm taller than most women however there is a great number of them taller than I as well. If her legs were just lengthened and now go all the way up then it's easier for her to wrap them around you... twice, right. Also something to be said for petite. Every person is unique and beautiful in their own way. Really it's all about the chemistry. And guys, don't be a beta. If your not a Sigma then being an Alpha is a distant second best but way better than being a Beta. On a human level I don't think anyone is better than anyone else. I'm speaking in terms of the rewards and reactions from other individuals and society as a whole especially the opposite sex (if your gay good for you. It's your choice. I'm not so I can't really speak on that from a knowledgeable position). The Sigma personality is the most respectable, intriguing, and honest. Alpha can be shallow and deceptive, hurtful, overcontrolling, petty, spiteful, and callous. But it can also not be those things and when it is it's more like a sigma but less quiet in its confident manner. Alphas need to be coddled sigma don't. And betas do the coddling. Harmless isn't a virtue nor is it desirable. I digress. I'm guessing your a taller woman.. correct? It would explain the question if your experiences have been guys get intimidated or resentful like its your fault they are shorter than you. How tall are you? I say wear those heels if you want. Gives me more leg to look at. I'm good with who I am and what I got. Don't hold yourself down on my account. We are here to lift each other up. Need a hand?

As someone with fewer options I’m not worried about it. My ex was 5’ 11”… I most definitely am not lmao… I’m 5’ 8” on a good day 5’ 9” after a compliment.
I don’t think it’s necessarily women only want tall men. I think the issue is… men don’t pursue. They don’t know how and they don’t know when and they don’t know what’s necessary to find someone.
I’m speaking from experience. I spent a majority of my life either working too much or in a relationship. I’m not a social butterfly and I’m not a 10 in looks. Besides this the whole dating scenes been stupid since #metoo… The gender wars genuinely got men questioning where it’s acceptable to talk to women and the lack of experience/role models has men lacking the know how on flirting and approaching. I’m told ima natural flirt but that’s useless if I don’t know I’m doing it haha…
I also think datings very different in major cities compared to more rural areas. These super bimbos men seem to refer to as all women seem to be in major cities like New York, LA, Miami, etc. for these women the red pill and black pill mindsets makes COMPLETE sense. But the women I’ve seen in the country act very different. The values and attitudes better.
So location and lack of know how is to blame for the dating scene today… well that and politics.
What Guys Said

"We always hear about 'women only want tall men'" I don't always hear that. Most guys I know are under 6' tall and they have girlfriends. The fact that you read something online doesn't mean that everyone feels that way.
It’s quite simply less of an issue in every conceivable way. Men who are 5’4” or shorter are a little less than 10% of the population, while women who are 5’10” or taller are around 1% of the population. Women only slightly outnumber men in overall population statistics. So there are roughly ten times as many men who are shorter than the average woman than there are women who are taller than the average men.
Also, despite the claims that we are seeking “equality” in western society, only about 14% of women reported ever asking a man out, and a negligible percentage claim to do so habitually. So men are literally being rejected for being too short. While women who just aren’t getting approached by the guys they’d prefer are assuming that’s because “men don’t like taller women”.MOST men couldn't care less about height. Literally the only men who talk about female height at all are the tall men (6'1' and up), and they usually most prefer short girls (5'6" and under). So you're conflating tall men (probably the only men you talk to or care about) with all men. And most non-tall men do not talk about height in women at all. Men tend to care about a woman's weight/body size, not her height.
As for me, my short-ass voted option D. I'm only 180 cm, so it's not hard to find women my height or taller. But yeah, tall women tend to be less b*tchy than short girls, so I prefer the nicer women who are 6 feet or above, to the mean short girls. But as you can see, more than half of all the men voted that they do not care either way, and only three men said taller girls would make them uncomfortable.
Well... men are taller than women. That is way you rarely see men with taller women. There aren't that many women that are taller than the average guy.
I am 6'2". My wife is 5'4"
I never had any hang up about height because I was always on the taller side and never had any insecurity about that. I've always thought attractive tall girls were hot.
I would have definitely gone out with a girl on any height. 6 foot 6? If she was pretty... I'd have gladly gone out with her.
First of all, I just don't find tallER girls crush worthy. In fact, "very" tall is a turn off for me.
Also, i have said it before, I like the girl to be at least 3 inches shorter than me so that she can wear heels without looking, 6 inches taller than me.
ShortER girls are always a better sight and feeling. It looks really romantic when the girl has to look up when they stare in each other'e eyes with affection and when the girl has to tippy toe to reach to him or kiss him standing up.
Disclosure: I am already married so this is a hypothetical view of mine.
Men care about weight not height, for the most part. If you want to compare immutable attributes then age is a factor too. After about 35 years old a lot of men won't marry or consider long term relationships.
Don't get it twisted though, many will still have fun with women in that age range.It's because beggars can't be choosers, it hard to get a date as a guy, but yea it make me feel uncomfortable. A man should be at least half-head taller than a woman, as it's the average height gap.

I don't see why not, but I very rarely ever see women close to my height, let alone taller.
I'm 6'4", so they are few, and far between. At my height, though, I'm not the least bit insecure about it. So, if I met someone taller than me, and we hit it off, I'd date her.
I think of it this way.
Let's say that you were really tall, but attractive.
I'm willing to bet most guys that YOU would find attractive probably wouldn't take you on if you were taller than them.
Key words is that were talking about guys that YOU find attractive.
Any desperate guy that you dont even find attractive low standards probably wouldn't mind, but other than that, yeah.I don't care about height either way.
It's important to remember that the reason guys complain about that is because women are pursuing a trait that applies to a small percentage of men. Men not wanting to date a woman taller than them is objectively more reasonable because women are shorter than men on average.
