Guys, Why do you prefer shorter women over tall women?

[Anonymous]

I’m a 6’4” young woman. Barefooted. YES I am a woman and I was a girl at birth. No I am not a transgender! So, don’t even leave comments like that! I’ve never had a boyfriend at all. I’ve been on dates but it never ends up in a relationship. I know not everyone will be into you but for once, I would LOVE to be in a healthy loving relationship. Middle school and high school I had no boyfriends or dated. Most of the shorter girls had boyfriends. I got rejected and told I’m way too tall for a woman. I see these 6 footers with these tiny, petite women. I mean nothing wrong with that but I don’t see many couples with a tall woman. This guy I met last year that I was great friends with and I loved his personality. I told him how I felt but he said he only likes me as a friend and he prefers…. you guest it……. SHORT GIRLS. The dude is 6’10” and now he’s with his girlfriend of two years and she is like….5’2”. One of my best friends set me up on a blind date and as soon as the car so how tall it was, he just walked away. He said, “Oh…. I think I have the wrong girl. Never mind.”
I went on a date with this guy that is 6’1” and things were going great until he kept asking about higher and if I would date a guy shorter than her or wearing heels. In the end he just wanted to hook up and I was angry. My brothers (6’8, 6’9 and 6’10” 1/2 all have shorter girlfriends under 5’7”. My dad is 6’8 and my mom is 5’10”.
I dress feminine, take care of myself, keep in shape. I’m slender and have a fun personality and sweet but guys are just too intimidated. I do prefer guys taller than me but I have dated guys shorter than me. Most tall women get asked if they would date a short guy. Average and short women never get asked that. These 5’7”-5’10” women bitch about being tall, try being 6’4”!

[Berethor]

The 6’10” was fitting for you, sad that he rejected you, being strong girl have advantages.

It's simple. Most men will see shorter women as more feminine, and taller women as more masculine. Perhaps that's why so many women talk about preferring taller men, they see it as more masculine. But In my experience, regardless of type a person says they are into, if you are one that knows how to build attraction, it won't matter. I am considered short at 5'7 by some but I don't have any issues and I like my height, but I see plenty of guys that say women won't date them because of it.

Thus even if you are really tall, if you understand how to build attraction and are feminine, in the end it won't matter.

[Asker]

Just because a woman is tall and bigger than the average size woman doesn’t make her masculine. People saying tall women look masculine is just plain stupid. It’s pathetic. Women all sizes can be feminine. I don’t know where gourds hearing this shit from.

[Opinion Owner]

This is not about what a woman actually is, but how most men will perceive them to be. Being taller and bigger may not make her more masculine, but it is likely more men will perceive her to be Vs how they perceive shorter smaller women.

[Avicenna]

Some of us prefer to date women of your height

[Asker]

Yeah right. You’re just saying that. Just admit it, you like shorter women.

[Avicenna]

LOL, you're wrong about that.

[Asker]

Prove it

[Avicenna]

OK, would you like to go on a date with me?

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm 6' 9". I'd love to find a tall girl like you! It'd be nice not to have to bend way over to kiss you! My ex-fiance was 5' 3"! They don't usually stack it very high over in India. My 2nd girlfriend was probably 5' 8" or so and my first was somewhere between those two.
I saw a girl at Aldi 2 or 3 months ago that was at least 7' 3"! I might need a stool for that one!!
I've spent most of my life alone. Probably because of my height. Strange, because, I'm always told that girls PREFER tall guys! Well? Where ARE all those girls?
That really sucks, the way those guys treated you! I'll bet that hurts! I went on a blind date with a girl, once and she looked more like a short semi driver (a guy!) but, at least I still went out with her and gave her a kiss at the end of the date!
Another girl I went out with ate like a pig (at one point, she was eating and had a very long strand (at least half a foot) of onion hanging out of the side of her mouth and left it there as she talked and, during the meal, she even burped a time or two! We were eating pizza at a restaurant!) but, I stayed with her for the rest of the date and we even kept in contact for a few weeks or so after the date.
Everyone says I'm a major league sweetheart, and I am (even dogs and other critters love me) but, it doesn't seem to be doing ME any good!! Nobody wants me! My ex-fiance said she had the time of her life with me so, I can't understand why, after 10 years together, she'd cheat on me!! I can only think that it was money but, I never pictured her as a greedy golddigger!
Anyway, I thought you might like this.

They could be insecure to date a taller woman because they think it will damage their masculinity. They could also just prefer shorter women for whatever they personally map on to women of a certain height.

I personally don't care that much honestly.

[Asker]

That’s good to hear. Some guy is having an attitude with me.

[DummyThiccFeraligatr]

I mean, I've liked taller girls / women since I was in elementary school. Several in the 6'2" - 6'5" range and a bunch at 5'10"+. They've generally received me well, better than average and short girls, honestly. A woman of your height would be a plus for me, not a minus. *shrug*

Like anyone else, if you have an unusual trait, then you'll have a more difficult time finding someone. The flip side is that when you do find the yin to your yang, they'll appreciate you in a way that "normies" don't.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents. My DMs are open if you want more pointers / opinions.

[Asker]

Thank you

[DummyThiccFeraligatr]

No prob. 👍

You ought to DM me. I don't get to meet many of y'all.

[Anonymous]

Because shorter women prefer me. I actually don't care about a woman's height. But generally the shorter women put in morr effort to know me and the taller women not so much. I've been attracted to women 4'11" to 6'8". Women of every race. And many varying sizes. So I know I don't have a "type". But if I meet you and you tell me you won't date a guy under 6 feet it turns me off ( even though I'm 6'5"). Because how would you like it if a guy told you, "I won't date a woman smaller than a D cup"? That's how offensive it is to me. If you determine my quality by my height I don't want to know you.

[Asker]

I’ve never said I wouldn’t date a guy under six feet. I’ve dated a 5’11” guy.
I just never dated a guy 5’10” and under. The guy I had a crush on said I’m kind of shallow that refuses to date men that is under 6’4” but I did.

[Asker]

I care about the guys personally the most.

[Asker]

Why are you getting a offended over a 6ft woman preferring someone taller than her.

[Opinion Owner]

Why do some women get offended by a guy preferring a woman with bigger boobs?

[Opinion Owner]

I thought that analogy I posted already would make you understand. Apparently not.

[Asker]

This is not a roasting session. Okay? What is with the attitude? Would you give a woman under 6ft an attitude?

[Opinion Owner]

Nobody's roasting anyone. Do you truly not want to understand the answer to question you just asked? Because you seem like you just want to complain. You're tall. No not everyone's going to like that. But not as many as you're mKi g it out to be. So far the only thing I see wrong with you is what I stated in my initial response. You don't want to put as much effort forth as the shorter girls.

[Asker]

What do you mean not enough effort? I do. I’ve dated a guy under 6ft. I gave him a chance. If I was like 5’9 or 5’4 it would have been better

[Opinion Owner]

So what you're telling me is you just picked the wrong guy. It happens! But that doesn't make all guys that guy.

[Asker]

I never said that. I get what you’re saying but I’m tired of being rejection but it is what it is. I am not complaining if you’re wondering.

[Opinion Owner]

That's cool and it's fine to get frustrated and vent. That's what this site is for to a certain degree. I just don't want you beating yourself believing something That's not true. Because you don't want your past sabotaging your future. Yes SOME guys have height preferences but that is by far NOT the norm. The best thing you can do is own your big beautifullness. Because confidence is attractive.

[abc3643]

Well, I think an important question to ask is how short of a guy would you be willing to date?

[Asker]

I just said I’ve dated shorter guys. Average height and short women never get asked if they would date a shorter guy. The shortest guy I’ve dated was 5’11”. None under 5’11” and the tallest guy I’ve went on a date with was 6’6”

[abc3643]

You didn't answer my question so let me rephrase:

What is the minimum height that you require from a man before you would consider dating him?
Put another way, what height is the cut-off for you where any man below that height you would not consider dating, but at or above that height you would consider dating.

I am not interested in your experience.
I am interested in your desires and what is acceptable or not to you.

There was once a lady I met at one of my customer’s location at one of my jobs. When she stood up out of her cubicle….






With heels on she was almost 7’ feet tall.




The best way I can describe my inner thoughts…




I was scared, intimidated. Even almost said “holy shit” out loud

[DryGermanGuy]

[Asker]

I bet she was humiliated when you said that our loud. Poor lady. You men are so blunt about women.

[Danny_dan92]

Read… I said I almost said “holy shit”

[Asker]

Oh never mind

[Danny_dan92]

There you go. 👍🏼

[syncheart]

I'm 5'8 and I feel insecure around tall women. With that being said, I like both short and tall women. As far as what people are attracted to, I got no idea. I don't think anyone really knows why they are attracted to what they are attracted to. I don't even know why I feel the insecurity. But if a woman is kind to me, it doesn't matter how tall she is. Kindness is needed for me to fall in love.

[Cubus]

Guys on average prefer shorter woman because this makes them feel more dominant.

I prefer shorter women, but it's not a dealbreaker. Personality is more important. My last crush was 5'7 (which is way shorter than you, but still fairly tall for a woman)

[DryGermanGuy]

We don’t! You might want to visit the Netherlands, though. Everyone is tall there.

[BarryLiverstone]

Because at 6’6 I am more attracted to someone shorter than I am. If she was taller I wouldn’t vibe as well.

[Asker]

We’ll I’m shorter than 6’6” but you’d probably want something under 5’11”

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope. Just shorter than I am

[Asker]

Okay fair enough. It’s your preference

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep ty

[HaveNoName]

I assure you, there is a tall guy waiting for you somewhere. Don't sweat over it.

[Asker]

How do you know? They mostly like women under 5’8”

[HaveNoName]

Just be hopeful. At your height, even if he is an inch or 2 more or less than you, you guys will look nice together.

[shortster]

I prefer someone close to my own height; but that wouldn't stop me from dating someone taller. Even if she's more than a foot taller than me.

[Anonymous]

What is your heritage or ethnicity? I've always found tall girls gorgeous

[Professor-college]

Why do most women want a taller than her man?

[guyinterested]

I'll date a tall woman.
