Why are taller women more open to dating short men than short women?

It is not accurate to make a blanket statement that taller women are universally more open to dating short men than short women. Attraction and preferences in dating are highly individualized and can vary significantly from person to person. While some taller women may feel comfortable dating shorter men, and vice versa, it does not mean that all taller women share this preference or that shorter women are less open to dating shorter men.

Attraction is influenced by a multitude of factors, including personal preferences, cultural norms, societal influences, individual experiences, and individual values. Some people prioritize height in their dating preferences, while others do not consider it a significant factor at all.

It is important to avoid generalizations and assumptions about dating preferences based on height. Every individual has their own unique set of preferences, attractions, and criteria when seeking a partner. It is essential to approach dating with an open mind, respect individual preferences, and focus on building genuine connections based on mutual compatibility and shared values rather than physical attributes.

From my own personal experience short women have shown less interest in me than tall women and same with many other short men as well. I've seen men 5'2 and below with gorgeous tall wives. Short women didn't give them the chance but I'm glad they found someone worthy of being with. A lot of short women get insecure when a man is short especially women that are like 4'10 - 5'0. If a tall man needs a woman 1 - 2 feet shorter than him and the same with short women to better themselves than they just have issues. Taller women that like short guys show a huge amount of confidence

Is this true? I don't think it is. The vast majority of tall women I've known all wanted men their height or more. I am a tall guy and love tall women myself and find them extremely hot, but I can remember a woman who was maybe an inch or two taller than me and she still didn't want to date me! Lol. She still wanted a man even taller than her. Life is funny.

[alice55]

Tall women are ok dating men their height but when was the last time you saw / heard a shorts women who's 4'11 be ok dating a man this height or even a man that is 5'3 ? They're not ok with it.

[ManOnFire]

@alice55 Yeah, I know about that too. I've NEVER met a short woman who wanted to date a short guy. All of them felt like they wanted and needed a man taller than them. I only know of an ex I had who she herself was somewhat tall, and HER ex before me was short. But I think one of the reasons she went with him was because she didn't have good self-esteem anyway and literally took what she could get, plus she herself was not a beauty queen.

[alice55]

Maybe she was tired of being alone and took the first guy interested in her until someone she find more attractive come along, a lot of women do that because they hate being alone.

[ManOnFire]

@alice55 Oh hell yeah, she was definitely like that. I think she even latched on to me for the same reasons. I don't throw that word around a lot but the girl was 'ugly,' but at that time I really didn't care because who she was as a person - or at least what I thought she was - was so special and really impacted me a lot to make me fall for her. When we met she had already been done with her ex for like 4 months from what she'd said, when she found out I was tall and black she went in for the kill lol. But later on I think she did it again, and swung over to some other guy who she probably thought was better looking and gave her attention. Ugly women really eat it up when a man is crazy about them.

[alice55]

Wow she sound pretty desperate and also weirdly quite obsessed with looks. Being unattractive and being interested in someone looks and dumping someone for better looking person is quite crazy

[ManOnFire]

@alice55 No doubt. There's so much shit I came to see about her as time went on after the breakup. Rear vision really is clear vision. Always seems to be that ugly women think they can be picky, or at least, they want to really see if they can get a great looking guy to either show off or make themselves feel special.

[alice55]

Which is pretty stupid considering after they end up single mother... I've seen it so many time they want the best of the best but of course the guy leave them and they whine, I knew a woman who had 4 children all from different boyfriend.

[ManOnFire]

@alice55 Yep, that is extremely common. It's a princess complex.

[jennifer_bloom]

I think insecure people are more likely to prioritize people with dominant visual or cultural features and a woman that is believed without question often due to her appearance, is less likely to compensate for her insecurities by selecting people with observable and stereotypically dominant features.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Where do you get that from? The tall women I know IRL want someone at least as tall as them… My sister in law is 5’2” and her husband is 6’ but it’s not like she only dated Tall men…

[Jazzy54]

Well, I can’t speak for other short women, but I don’t care about a man’s height. Never have. I’m not picky like that. I don’t want to miss out on a great guy just because he’s under 6.’ It’s stupid and shallow. As long as he treats me right and is a gentleman, I don’t care about his height. 😊

[FunkyMonkee]

A: They have less options and 2: If they're as picky as short girls are, nice tall guys like me haven't got a snowball's chance in hell!! From what I've seen over the past 40 years, most girls only want guys the beat the shit out of them!! I'm not at all into that!! So, girls tend to stay away from nice guys, like me.

[zagor]

Women who are extremely tall may have experienced social awkwardness growing up that tall men generally don't have to deal with, and as such may, whether consciously or subconsciously, be looking to have children who will not have such problems.

[Ευδεμονια]

It’s not so true, since in general girls tend to date more tall people. In general there’s some form of obsession over height.

[Faith18letsgo]

I’d guess because they’ve been on the receiving end of oh I’d love to date you but you’re too tall. So they know it’s bullshit and that it sucks ass.

[DarkLegacy]

Probably because they will struggle to find anyone otherwise. If they are tall and want a taller guy they are less likely to find someone.

[TommyWiseau69]

Yeah but that's smarter. They don't place value in height as much and look more at other things. It's a win for short guys at least. Taller kids.

[anon1903]

Height doesn't matter to me.

[anon1903]

I know it sounds corny but I'd take an intelligent short man over a dumb, athletic taller one any day.

[DarkLegacy]

@anon1903 Well that is a good thing, you can't beat intelligence, especially in the modern world

[anon1903]

I know it's a tall order but if I have a fuck buddy, I'd want them to be pretty high on the intelligence too.

Because if it sucked, I want us to throw witty quips at each other. To not get bored the second it's over. Hahaha.

[DarkLegacy]

@anon1903 i love the start. .'it is a tall order'

[anon1903]

Thankyou

[alice55]

Cause shorts women are complexed by their height and do not want to have shorts children

[TommyWiseau69]

Every short man I know has a son thats not short

[alice55]

how tall is the father and how tall is the son? I'm curious. Usually son are smaller than their father (at least to what I've seen around me) and the height of the mother? maybe she was the tall one?

[TommyWiseau69]

Every short father I've seen like 5'7 and shorter has a son that's taller than him. It's ironic but usually men that are actually average height or taller have shorter sons. The mothers of these men are not tall. No taller than 5'2/5'3 max. I'm 5'4. My uncle is also 5'4. His wife is 5'1 or 5'2. Their son is 5'11. I know many other men that are also 5'4 to 5'6. Their sons are at least 5'8. Their wives are not tall. It's almost impossible for a short man to have a son shorter than him. The odds of a short man having a taller son is far greater than having a son that's shorter. Similar height to the short man is also possible, but from the short men I know none of them have short sons.

[TommyWiseau69]

Also know one extremely short man. He's 5'0 or below. His wife is even shorter than him. Both their sons are 5'8 - 5'11

[Ms_Facesitter]

But are short men really short to short women? Aren't you still going to be taller than them?

[TommyWiseau69]

That doesn't matter. Height is judged against the height of other men. Taller women just don't see tall height in men as anything special

[Ms_Facesitter]

Should it be seen as something special?

[Vegasrunner]

Very simple answer is that height isn't associated w/ beauty for women so a lot of "taller" women have less options.

[Anonymous]

Well, statistically there are a LOT more men that are shorter than a TALL woman than there are men who are shorter than a SHORT woman. So this is pretty much what you'd expect logically even if men and women got together randomly.

[Quigly]

Those girls aren't really girls, if a girl is taller than 5'7" I would start to question her real gender. Also, let your body hair grow out so you don't look like a prepubescent boy.

[sheikalana]

Because they know is not as easy for them to find a partner due to their height.

[Anonymous]

They aren't. They may date guys that are shorter than them but still are tall guys.

[DextroShade]

They have to or there would be very few men for them to choose from.

[Anonymous]

Please stop the spamming.

[DarkLegacy]

How on Earth is he spamming and why did you go anon to tell him that.

[BarryLiverstone]

She usually comments anon and he’s asking a question that has been asked 1000 times

[CuriousMufuxka]

Because they're not dykes! They want the cock not the twat!

[imfreeze95]

My guess would be because they know options are limited

[Twalli]

At a certain height, women realize that they're taller than most men

[Anonymous]

I guess they have less options if they are taller to find more taller than them

[Anonymous]

Because straight women feel attracted to straight men and most of us is straight.
