Why is it a problem when women want to date tall men only?

[Anonymous]

So I just read the “Are short girls more attractive?” thread and most of the guys said they find smaller petite girls more attractive and feminine. Which is totally fine. But why it a problem when women say they want to date tall men because they’re more attractive and masculine? Why is there a double standard there? Im 5’6 and Im not upset that most men would rather date women much shorter than me. But 5’6 men get bitter and angry when I reject them and want to date someone at least 5’10.

[inhua]

it's not really a problem. it is a preference after all but the issue usually comes with the bullying and humiliation short guys tend to get exclusively for no other reason than being short (something they can not change).

it's one thing to tell a short guy you're not interested because you're not attracted to him due to lack of height, it's entirely different to tell a short guy to go $#@! himself because you're not attracted to him. granted these are situations of he said/she said and there can be plausible deniability on her part however having seen rude tweets and social media posts of women posting about their disdain for short men, I'd wager that a lot of short guys do face this discrimination more than their taller counterparts.

it's also a fantasy to expect something good to come out of rejection. there's no true feel good way around it. by rejecting someone, you're essentially telling them that you don't believe they should pass on their genes to the next generation, you might not have an issue with someone else passing on those genes but you have psychologically told him that's the case. yes you're allowed to choose who you mate with but they are also allowed to feel the way they feel. so if you find them to be jaded and bitter, there's usually a reason for it whether good or bad but it doesn't just fall out of sky for no reason.

the other problem is when men begin to have preferences of their own such as preferring women who aren't fat, are virgins, has wife qualities i. e. mother instincts, domestic skills etc which can be often regarded as fatphobic, slut shaming and "enforcing" the oppressive patriarchy. why are women's preferences perfectly fine but men's preferences bad then?

[Asker]

Men’s preferences have always been seen as okay and fine to have due to patriarchy and the lack of accountability males provide to one another. No matter how much men try to act like they are, they are not oppressed whatsoever.

[inhua]

except men's preferences haven't always been seen as ok. feminism has its roots as far as the 1800s where prostitutes were complaining no "real man" wanted marrying them.

what is considered a real man back down is still the same as today. kings, emperors, warlords were considered real men and often had multiple women with them. peasants and slaves weren't considered real men and would have little to no women. therefore the standards are being made by these "real men" and today that is still the case with high level celebs.

the average man these days has little to no standards. they're willing to accept anything that has a vagina between their legs. doesn't matter how rude, entitled, unhealthy, unskilled these women are. these "high" standards for women don't actually exist.

also there's no such thing as the patriarchy. your only evidence for the patriarchy is using the apex fallacy and even if there was a patriarchy it's not being upheld by men but by women. women have always dictated how the vast majority of men should be, for example chivalry was necessary in the past but today chivalry is dead because it's seen as "patronizing". your preference for taller guys is literally upholding the patriarchy, you're psychologically telling men they should be bigger and stronger than you and since most women prefer a taller guy, they are sending a message to men to be superior to women. this doesn't just extend to height but also money, social status and other external qualities.

no matter how bad you think women had it in the past or today, men have had it just as bad if not worse because we've always been expendable. women are not expendable. there's the difference.

[Asker]

okay and men’s preferences push traditional female ideals as well. i have been rejected for being too tall because that’s “intimidating to masculinity”. i have been rejected for not having big boobs because “that’s not feminine” and because of my smaller breast size, lots of men see me as unfit to be a mother because “biologically women with big breasts and wide hips are seen as being able to provide for children and safely birth children”. i don’t have super wide hips and have been rejected for that as well.

your comments of acting like men don’t have preferences based on past perspectives, really shows how out of touch you are to reality. especially the reality of a woman.

[inhua]

how can you be "too tall" when you're going after guys taller than you. you've admitted all your boyfriends are 6+ feet.

as far men's preferences for pushing for traditional female ideals, why aren't there more women who fit these ideals then? the average man's preference for a woman is tame compared to a woman's preference in a man. as others have already stated, a preference for 6+ feet men already disqualifies 85% of men.

as far as your rejections are concerned, are you approaching men who are disabled? men who are homeless? men who are shorter than you? if you're unhappy with your rejection rate, you can always increase your acceptance rate by asking those men I've just listed.

when did I say men don't have preferences based on past perspectives? even then, attraction is biological, not political. you can't tell someone to be or not to be attracted to someone and they'll simply be attracted or not attracted to that someone because you said so. if this were the case you wouldn't see interracial dating i. e. white guy + Asian girl or gay relationships i. e. 2 men etc.

[Asker]

i stopped reading after the first paragraph because i never said all my boyfriends were 6+ feet. nowhere on this thread have i said that.

[inhua]

please scroll down to your reply to an anonymous male user aged 25-29. use Ctrl+F if you need to.

[Asker]

yeah i did and the first thing i see was “my last boyfriend was 5’8” that i commented a day ago…

[Asker]

what i said in another comment that you may be confusing is “my current boyfriend is the tallest i’ve ever been with and he’s 6’1”. but not sure why that would confuse you when the original post said that i wouldn’t date guys if they’re not at least 5’10… so it looks like you misread which is okay.

[inhua]

there's no such phrase "my last boyfriend was 5'8".
I do see a phrase "All my boyfriends have been six foot plus." and if I could post screenshots I'd do it but unfortunately screenshots can be posted in replies.

[Asker]

there is an anonymous user 25-29 that said this:

The difference between men and women when it comes to height is that most men do not have an overly obnoxious height requirement. Just because they said they find short women more attractive doesn't mean they would never date a woman your height. It just means a woman who is 5'1" is more attractive than a woman who is 5'8". But you women have insane height requirements that makes men freak out. You know how many times l've seen the infamous "6ft or taller" height demand from women? Even though 6ft men are less than 15% of the male population? Its ridiculous. You as a taller woman still has a significant advantage over a man who's below average height. Its basically universal at this point.

go read the comments were i explicitly stated my last boyfriend was 5’8. if you can’t find that comment in that thread you’re intentionally lying.

[Asker]

i looked on all the anonymous 25-29 users comments and never have i ever said all my boyfriend have been 6+ because that’s not true. most of my boyfriends have been around my height.

[inhua]

I've found that reply buried under a bunch of other replies. I can admit when I'm wrong however your 6+ feet comment still exists. this comment ring any bells?

"As I said in my post I don’t care that these men want childlike women. All my boyfriends have been six foot plus. I just want to know why it’s okay for men to want short women but not okay for women to want short men and why men constantly whine about women’s’ height preferences."

either way, you're using one incorrect detail as an excuse to discredit my main point which has nothing to do with the actual point itself.

[Asker]

i apologize for the misunderstanding because i meant to put all my boyfriends have not. forgot the “not” there and that’s on me.

i understand your actual point and it does have some true points but it’s not totally true or realistic and that’s what i’m trying to get across to you.

[Lliam]

People are entitled to their preferences and can date who they want.
I'm 6'2" and think short girls are adorable. There's nothing wrong with a woman being turned on by tall guys.

The height preference thing is deceiving because preferences are flexible. For example, my wife was a bit taller and had different colored hair and eyes than the imagined ideals I had before we met. But those are minor physical features. I wouldn't reject or rule someone out because of something as superficial as that. She was pretty and I soon fell in love with everything about her.

It's natural for men to prefer shorter women and for women to prefer taller guys. It has to do with sexual dimorphism. Women are, on average smaller. Men are about 5" taller than women on average. American men - 5'9" and women - 5'4".

Women might prefer taller men but, to a 5' tall girl, a guy who's 5'6" seems tall. So the idea that women rule out any men under 6' is absurd.

[KrakenAttackin]

I think it was Hinge that reported 80% of women on their site set their filter to not display men under 6'.

[Asker]

well considering that setting height preferences is a feature you have to pay for on the app, i doubt that’s true as most women don’t pay for dating apps. men do.

[KrakenAttackin]

It was one of the major apps, perhaps Match.

[Adaeva]

It is not a problem unless your standards are unrealistic. Of course, being female, you can date men, including tall men, that are out of your league but they are not going to marry you. Naturally, if you have average or above looks you can date and marry one of the tall men that are within your league

[Jess_D]

There isn’t a problem. Date who you like. You’re allowed to have preferences. If someone can’t deal with it that’s their problem. They’re going to be miserable anyway so don’t worry about it.

[Avicenna]

Height is much more of a factor for women (guys usually don’t reject women for their height) and it’s something you can’t change. I can understand men if that height being unhappy about being rejected because of something outside their control.

A significant minority of men prefer taller women.

But at the end of the day, not all women want to date tall men anyway

[OlderAndWiser]

Most guys don't date exclusively short women. Although I have a preference for petite women, I have dated a women who is 5' 9" and I was quite happy with her.

[Asker]

Most men definitely do for the reasons I described

[OlderAndWiser]

Most men date nothing but petite women based on your experience?

[Asker]

Yeah

[OlderAndWiser]

This may seem like a silly suggestion, but at age 1824, your experience may not be as comprehensive as you believe it to be. I've discussed this height issue with many guys for the past 50 years.

[Asker]

Like I said in my post it’s not a big deal that men want very small women. But that same energy should be given when women say they will only date men of a certain height or taller.

[Summeroflove]

This all comes down to preferences and standards. Every person is different. As long as someone doesn’t judge someone as a human being. Fine. You should be attracted to who you’re attracted to

[Guy13]

Not a problem for me, shorty….

[AviatorTom]

Not a problem for me, I'm 6-2 (188 cm).

[Looksnicholas]

On the positive side here, to spruik my own ego and my own opinion: I'm quite happy being 6 foot 1 inches tall and I'm only two years from turning the magic 30. Anyway.

I haven't even had a girlfriend, so while I'm surprised given my height should make me at least an instant head-turner to some women, it sure hasn't been noticed by me, and I speak from many years of being socially active, and out there, I don't live in my basement no article nor playing video games after work all day either. So shrugs, lol, playfully go figure is my opinion.

I'm 6 foot plus and never had a girlfriend nor been asked my number, so nope, even if I went up to a petite woman, I'm pretty sure they'd say not interested or I've already got a boyfriend.

And that's all cool, because I have more money for me and more time for friends, family, work for overtime, but most importantly all these years and ongoing: I get to have more time for me myself and I :)

Genuinely hooray me. But in short, oh definitely without being mean, I do prefer petite white women similar to my lean build, but petite, where as I am tall, totally. I wish, ha, but oh well, I enjoy single life 😊

[MCheetah]

Because height can't be controlled, no matter what, and short men don't deserve to die alone just because of something that is literally out of anyone's control. But whatever; no one is obligated to date men under six feet tall, and "life is unfair" anyway. I get that. But it still doesn't mean we like or accept your sh*tty shallow behavior, even if you're entitled to it.

Also, most men don't care about a woman's height; they care about her figure/weight. And unlike women, most men aren't going to refuse to date women of a certain height. And unlike height, weight can be changed (even if it's kind of shallow to not date someone merely because of a number).

So in other words, tall male height for women is a requirement, while for some men, short female height a bonus. It's not a double standard, cause men are actually flexible about their preferences, and most don't care about height anyway. Not to mention, men do all the chasing and women do all the picking and hold all the selecting. So how TF is it a "double standard" when women wield all the power in the dating world anyway?

This doesn't even matter anyway to you. 5'6" is short/petite on a woman. One more inch and you'd be medium height, but you're not even that. Men don't even care about a woman's height until she's at least 6'0" tall; that's the point where both men start to become attractive to women, and women start to become unattractive to some men. Or, "If your height begins in a 5, you better be a woman, and if it begins with a 6, you better be a man." This is the shallow way society judges people.

[D-Pad_Chad]

They were indifferent in that thread, women are obstinate when it comes to the height preference. That's one difference.

Also as of my writing this there was very few replies so it wasn't exactly a robust example.

It's not a problem, everyone has their preferences, women are just exceptionally idiotic with theirs, and it tends to lead to their lonely march to the grave. Whereas men tend to, but not always, have mutually beneficial preferences.

Let's take this height one. 20% of men in the US are 6"0 and it goes to about 4% iirc at 6"2 so right there your preference eliminates 80% of men in the US. The 20% your looking at, most likely, have a rotation. So if you want your back blown out, they'll oblige, but more then likely they won't wife ya.

Niw is the part where you reply with a snarky response, I ignore you and let time reply for me.

Good luck though.

[Asker]

Did you even read my post?

[Effably]

You can have whatever preference you want. Your personal likes are not really a prk lem as long as they are legal and safe.

I, as a man, have never heard a shared sentiment that a specific height is better in women. Most of us just don't care as long as it is within the realms of normal.

I can only see it ever becoming a problem if it was unreasonable and a frequent ask. But 5'10 is no issue. If every woman demanded a 8 foot tall guy we'd have a lot of singles. But if you do? No issue at all. Climb that giant.

[YourFavoriteFriend]

As a short (er) guys, there is no problem. Everyone likes what they like and that completely fine. Some people would get bitter when you reject them, just get over it. Also people would make fun of your preferences if they are ridiculous in their eyes just like you'll do about them. It's fine as long as we don't come in each other's faces and attack each other.

As for the thread you talked, there are two things to catch:

A) There is a smaller amount of guys that prefer a shorter girls vs girls who prefer a taller guy. And these guys are not very tall themselves (I'm 173CM for example) so logically speaking, it makes sense

B) Guys "prefer" these girls and would not reject that is taller while a lot of girls have height as a "requirement".

Hope I made things clear for you.

[FilmGuy93]

It’s a realism thing. The things men are attracted to are far more attainable by a larger amount of the female population.

The problem with women’s wishlists is that most of the women who say stuff like that aren’t drawing the line at 5’10. It’s usually more like 6’3, or over. And that’s only a problem because of how insanely small the number of men there are who stand that tall.

You like super tall guys? Awesome, we all like what we like, and I hope you can find your special person. Just be aware that when you like super tall guys, you’re 86-ing a good 90% of the otherwise eligible male population because there is absolutely no way for a man who isn’t naturally tall to make up for the fact he isn’t tall.

[Asker]

Well standards don’t exist to make men happy. Standards aren’t a participation trophy for everyone. Sorry.

[FilmGuy93]

No need to apologize to me! I don’t care if you only want to date super tall men. I’m 5’11, myself. To your point though, it’s true that standards aren’t participation trophies. You just want your standards to actually be standards (minimum requirements), instead of a wishlist that disqualifies men who could otherwise make you very happy.

[Asker]

Height is a standard though. No woman wants to be with a man who will not provide her with the feeling of protection and safety. Short guys can’t provide that.

[FilmGuy93]

Yup. And wanting to feel safe around your guy is a very understandable desire. So the question is, do you really care if your guy towers over 90% of the human population, or do you just want him to be taller than most people? Taller than most people is a standard, tallest of the tall is more of a wishlist thing.

[Asker]

I want him to be at least 5’10. Considering that’s only an inch taller than the average male, I don’t see where the whining from your gender comes from. The tallest male I’ve ever dated was my current boyfriend who’s 6’1.

[FilmGuy93]

I just told you where it comes from; most of the women who express height requirements have set requirements that are far rarer than “he has to be at least 5’10.”

[KrakenAttackin]

There isn't a problem except that essentially demanding a man who is over 6' is wildly unrealistic. Less than 15% of the male population is 6' or over, which includes very young men, old men, married/committed, all races, rich/poor, gay/straight. If you look at the age, racial, economic, status you actually want, plus 6' or more, your odds of getting this man (for more than just dumping his cum in you) are minimal.

It's this stupidly unrealistic mindset of women that really irritates men's and is exactly why Chad Thundercock bangs his way through women like you the way a harvester cuts through a corn field. #NoSympathy.

[Asker]

Did you even read my post? You sound retarded.

[Jess_D]

He really does sound retarded. There’s nothing more pathetic than a middle aged incel that comes across like and edgy 14 year old.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jess_D Truth hurts, sorry, not sorry.

[Jess_D]

For your comments to hurt, we’d have to take you seriously. Women laugh at “men” like you. No one takes “men” like you seriously when you use terms like Chad Thundercock in your comments. What does that mean anyway? Is it supposed to be an insult for guys who can actually get laid unlike you? That’s why you come across like and angry virginal teenage loser. And if you’re really a middle aged old man and think like 15 year old edge lord that’s very pathetic.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jess_D Tell me where my above post is incorrect.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jess_D Look, I know you can't tell women shit, but it worthwhile for younger men to see how utterly unreasonable women are.

[Anonymous]

It's not a problem. I'm 6'5" and could care less how tall a woman is. I've been attracted to women ranging from 4'11" to 6'8". If I find shorter women more attractive it's only because shorter women tend to make the MOST EFFORT for ME.

I just think women are SILLY with thier height preferences. And if a woman tells me she won't date a guy under 6 foot it's a turnoff to me. Would you want a guy only dating you for your breasts? Well I don't want to date a woman to date me for my height. So, NEXT!

[Asker]

Most men date women solely for their body characteristics all the time. Why is it a problem for a woman to have tall height as a requirement?

[Opinion Owner]

I just said it wasn't a problem. That was literally the first sentence I typed.🤣
It's not a problem I said just silly to me. If a woman judges a man's quality by his height is kind of stupid to me. Well I don't want to to date a woman that's stupid. I wouldn't expect a woman to date a guy who judges a woman solely on appearance either. If you accept a guy who dies, that's your choice.🤣

[Opinion Owner]

Does* not dies.

[JDavid25]

Because if the woman is sexy enough a guy won't reject her because she is taller.. Whereas women who date tall/taller men almost want them exclusively rejecting the shorter guys.. Also it's more of a preference for guys whereas taller guys are almost a requirement for women..

[Asker]

No it’s also a requirement for men. I’ve been rejected for my height.

[JDavid25]

You're 5'6 which is a bit taller than average but not super tall.. But maybe you don't live in America and 5'6" is pretty tall where you live.. It's only a requirement because men think the woman won't respect him for his height.. Some women make it very clear they don't like short men.. Whereas you'll still have plenty of men looking to date a taller woman.. I like taller women myself..

[Asker]

I’m from the US and still experienced height discrimination. It just is what it is.

[JDavid25]

At 5'6"? I mean that's a good medium height for a woman.. Maybe you live in a region where the people are shorter..

[Soremain]

But was it the exact same guys that preferred smaller women but simultaneously were bitter for getting rejected for their height? Because if not, there is no double standard.

You can't take words of some men and then reactions of different men and call it double standard because "Men said this and then men reacted like this". Men are not one unit representing each other with every words and actions.

[Asker]

That’s how men act

[Lionman95]

Because in nowadays world anything seems to be a problem that is provocative to some one. Like say your opinion that destroys an imagined harmony and you´re the bad person no matter if it´s right or wrong what you say.
It´s a problem to people that are not what you want. I´ll admit I was like that, too but what I think people forget is that many of them aren´t looking for a harem or a fan club but just one person. Not everyone will like and love everyone.

[Berethor]

A man should be at least half-head taller than a woman, so your preference make sense.

https://www.worlddata.info/average-bodyheight.php

[Anonymous]

The difference between men and women when it comes to height is that most men do not have an overly obnoxious height requirement. Just because they said they find short women more attractive doesn't mean they would never date a woman your height. It just means a woman who is 5'1" is more attractive than a woman who is 5'8". But you women have insane height requirements that makes men freak out. You know how many times I've seen the infamous "6ft or taller" height demand from women? Even though 6ft men are less than 15% of the male population? Its ridiculous. You as a taller woman still has a significant advantage over a man who's below average height. Its basically universal at this point.

[Asker]

Sure when I date tall men. Doesn’t mean that there’s not discrimination against women my height though.

[Asker]

And you don’t see me complaining about it

[Asker]

And the same sentiment can apply. The taller a man is the more attractive he is.

[Opinion Owner]

Probably because you don't have to. You're 5'6" that's not even that tall. How much discrimination do you really face at your height? I bet you any short man faces way more discrimination than you do. Plenty of dudes will date a woman your height.

[Asker]

Well I’m taller than the average girl and Im not the tiny preferred height so year I have faced some discrimination because of it.

[Opinion Owner]

Fair enough, but either way you still have a bunch of options because again 5'6" is really not that tall at all. And the average male height is 5'10". There are literally cults of women out there who want genocide against short men so they can't reproduce. I don't think you're in a bad position.

[Asker]

Sure but it’s not like i’m not in a great position. Regardless I didn’t see taller girls taking offense to those thoughts like men take offense to women’s height preferences.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know. Maybe you haven't been beat down too many times enough to make you bitter. I mean, short men go their whole lives being constantly rejected and told they need be killed off so only the tall guys are left so I think a lifetime of constant pain just leaves a lot of short men angry.

[Asker]

But that’s not really women’s problem. Does it suck? Sure. But no one is entitled to anyone simply because they want it. Women want strong protective partners who make them feel safe. Short guys can’t provide that. I don’t agree with the killing off comments but as far as the rejection, that’s just the way it is.

[Opinion Owner]

So there's not a single short man in this world who's strong and can defend themselves from violence? Anyone who thinks that is naive. Look you don't have to like short men but what you said is freaking stupid. I've seen plenty of short men who can beat somebody's ass.

[Asker]

It’s not about being able to. It’s about the feeling they provide to women. There is a distinct difference in feeling which is why I recently raised my height preferences. My last boyfriend was 5’8.

[Opinion Owner]

But the feeling is useless if he can't actually fight. A lot of women get with 6ft plus guys because they give off a sense of security but a lot of these guys aren't trained in combat. So I don't really know what you women are looking for.

[Asker]

That sense does a lot. It’s very powerful.

[Opinion Owner]

I just don't think it'll look good if you get with a guy just because he's tall but then gets folded in a fight especially by a shorter dude. Even if it's protecting you because the short dude is a robber or something. But I'm not a woman so I don't think I'll ever be able to truly understand.

[Anonymous]

There is no double standard here. What you as a woman are experiencing is just the backlash against the decades of women calling men the shallow sex. You're just getting a taste of your own medicine, and now you women are whining about getting the same treatment you've given men for many years. Sucks, doesn't it.

[Asker]

Lol if anything it’s the opposite. Women are giving a men a taste of their own medicine and being strict about their preferences and the men who don’t like it are crying about it. That’s why there’s so many incels and men looking to different pills because men don’t like when the tables turn.

[Asker]

As I said in my post I don’t care that these men want childlike women. All my boyfriends have been six foot plus. I just want to know why it’s okay for men to want short women but not okay for women to want short men and why men constantly whine about women’s’ height preferences.

[Asker]

*tall

[Opinion Owner]

Butthurt much? Lol

[Asker]

What is there to be upset about lol. It’s obvious you don’t have anything of value to say so you think saying “butthurt” like a five year old is the right way out. Very sad for your age.

[Opinion Owner]

"What is there to be upset about"

Says the butthurt "woman" posting butthurt shit on the internet. Lmao

[Asker]

There was nothing butthurt said? I just wanted to know why men whine about women’s preferences in men but it’s okay when men have their preferences in women? As I’ve stated I don’t have a hard time with men. All the men I date are the most desired men.

[Asker]

It’s obvious I’m talking to a child and that a conversation with valuable points and perspectives won’t be had. Again very sad for someone of your age. Please work on that for your safety.

[Opinion Owner]

It's never been "okay when men have their preferences in women". Are you fucking blind and deaf?

[Asker]

Yes it has been and that question thread that I mentioned as well as others prove that. If a woman says she wants a guy on a certain height or financial caliber she’s shamed but when men explain their preferences they don’t get any pushback. That’s a double standard.

[Opinion Owner]

"a conversation with valuable points and perspectives won’t be had"

Translation: "you won't agree with my butthurt, gynocentric perspective so you must be wrong".

[Asker]

Lol this person has to be 10 years old😂

[Opinion Owner]

"woman says she wants a guy on a certain financial caliber"

Yeah, you're a typical woman. Fuck off.

Buh bye.

[Asker]

Real child like child responses. Children aren’t supposed to be on this app.

[MikeInHawaii]

I think it is part of a larger problem of women’s unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky expectations of me. I once had a woman tell me she wanted a man at least 6’ 5”, her old boyfriend’s height. With that one requirement, she has eliminated 99% of men.

[Asker]

Okay and if she’s happy with that, what’s the problem?

[MikeInHawaii]

I guess it’s not a problem. If women have six selection criteria for men and want a man who is 90th percentile in all six, assuming a random distribution, one in a million men should meet her standards.

I’m okay with that. I’d much rather be single than spend my life with someone who is shorter than I am, less intelligent, less educated, makes less money and yet views me as beneath her and the man she settled for.

[Asker]

Exactly. You’re doing her a favor and she’s doing the same for you.

[Jdjfjcjj]

Women can have whatever preference they want.

I think only 15% of guys are over 6" though so you eliminating a large chunk right off the bat 😉

[Asker]

And that’s perfectly fine

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Because when women say they want a tall man they aren’t saying they want a guy that’s taller 5’6 girls don’t want a 5’7 or 5’8 guy

they want a guy that’s over or damn near 6 feet and that’s unrealistic because most men aren’t that tall

[Asker]

Well who cares? Preference aren’t there to make most men happy.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Okay but women with these preferences that fit only about 14% of the population need to realize you have no right to complain about dating because your ideal guy is RARE

Im not saying he doesn’t exist but what makes you think you are the only woman who would want him?

[Asker]

Ok and?

[PainusNdeeAnus]

wym and what are you doing to get and keep the kind of guy you want?

[Asker]

If wanting a guy taller than 5’10 means I need to do stuff to keep him, the bar is low. You do know the average male height is 5’9 right?

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Smh so you think you don’t have any competition on the dating market?

[Asker]

Every single person does

[Asker]

Wanting a guy who’s at least 5’10 as a 5’6 women is not asking for a lot. Guy just love to complain when they don’t get their way for merely existing.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

No im asking do you realize you have steep steep competition because you choose to aim for guys who are in the minority i myself and most guys have significantly less competition because our standards are no where near as high as you women

[Asker]

Lol wanting a guy that’s at least 5’10 is not in the minority dude. Have you been outside recently?

[Asker]

You must be my height lol

[Cubus]

I would say tall women are afraid there would be no tall men left for them.

And the same - short men are afraid there would be no short women left for them.

[Asker]

Interesting. Never heard this theory but definitely could be true

[XLBBC4White]

What a woman wants or a man for that matter is up to them and everyone should be happy we have so much variety. The height ques can also be applied to what a guy is packing (not going there but same idea - preference and what one is attracted to)

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm 6' 9" and would much rather have a tall girl! My ex-fiance is only 5' 3" but, it didn't seem to bother either of us.

[Phoenix98]

It’s not a problem so long as you don’t get mad at men for having a preference or having one that isn’t you.

[Noahzaid]

Because most men aren’t 6ft tall.

and most women are short.

[Asker]

Not sure how that changes much. Preferences are preferences.

[Noahzaid]

Short men have feelings, you know?😂

[Asker]

Everyone does but that doesn’t mean they get their way because their feelings might get hurt.

[Noahzaid]

You just lost a short man right here👉👀
Go have fun with a skyscraper, they are the first to fall when an earthquake happens.

[Asker]

I have one. He’s great.

[Noahzaid]

A short guy is more closer to kissing then he will ever be

[Noahzaid]

You*

[Asker]

Not really. My boyfriend doesn’t have to bend down that much to kiss me.

[Noahzaid]

I’m much closer to hearing your heart beat though!
This means I can be useful If you ever had a heart attack or something

[Asker]

Lol no

[Noahzaid]

Hmmm 🤔, what about tying your shoe?
Give me anything!..
Help me over here

[Anonymous]

Because women are stupid.

They don't know what they really want until you show them.

[Asker]

That’s a very ignorant generalization. Do men not know what they want when they say they want to date short women?

[Opinion Owner]

Most people are thankful just to meet a decent person who's cute and interested in them. All the other "Standards" like height, butt size, breast size, dick size, income etc. go out the window and they fall in love.

[Asker]

Men don’t think that way at all. And you acting like they do is just laughable.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah well you're a young, inexperienced idiot.

[Asker]

And you’re old and probably about to die in less than a decade. RIP.

[Opinion Owner]

Again, you're stupid.

[TroyDT2]

A lot of people dislike being excluded by the preferences of others.

[Juxtapose]

Most men don't have any sort of height *requirement.* It's so asinine.

[slatyb]

Who says it's a problem? Date whoever you like.

[Emanon25]

It’s not a problem.

[Anonymous]

Guys want to date pretty girls only so

[Tyrael]

It's not a problem.

[In_Trance]

it's not
