Short women have their pick of men because every straight guy has a thing for petite women. Since short women don't get a lot of women, they think they have only the short women pool to go for, so they hope that short women will go for them. When in truth, a lot of tall women would date them if they could get over the insecurity of being shorter than their woman. But men like to be taller than their women, so they want the shorter women usually. Even the taller men will go for women that are shorter in comparison, not taller than them.

It's not only short women, it's women in general. The preference of tall men is shallow. How often do you meet a tall man that meets all your criteria? Only 1 - 3% of tall men are the ideal tall men women want. Majority of tall men are not good looking. Also many tall men are socially awkward and very weird. There's a small percentage that are actually worth dating. But compared to the men that are not tall, there's way more men in that range worth dating than tall men. Height doesn't define a person but women seem to think tall height makes a good man, no it doesn't.
Valuing something like height in a person does not make a relationship strong. However if you do happen to meet the ideal tall guy then that's sufficient enough to use him as an example for your liking, but stating what you like doesn't really adhere to the majority of tall guys that are out there at all.

I'm 6'2" and prefer short women. My tallest girlfriend was probably 5'6", my shortest was 5'2" and my wife is 5'5".
Those weren't conscious choices and I wouldn't have rejected someone for being taller. But, in reality, 5'4" is the average height for American woman and 5'3" is the global average.
I think short girls are extra cute. So sue me. They are also a lot of fun in bed. They are easy to pick up and toss around. That's why girls under 5' are super appealing. I'm always amazed at how bad ass they have be to take on a big, strong guy.
I can understand why some women find taller guys aesthetically attractive. But I think that many also love sex with guys who are big and strong. It's a sexual thrill.00 Reply
I honestly wouldn’t let it bother you. I’m 4’11 and have generally dated men between 5’7-6’4 and never had any issues with doing that in the real world. My current boyfriend is 5’4 and it is a lot less awkward and actually pretty nice. I don’t think it matters how tall or short the person you end up with is so long as you’re both happy, but height shouldn’t be the only deciding factor. There are amazing people that come in different sizes that you shouldn’t reject just because they don’t hit whatever minimum requirement you have in your head but also other people’s thoughts/opinions don’t really matter if they aren’t the ones in the relationship

I was told the other day that Chinese Rulers from the North literally built the huge canal just to get to the South sooner, cause South is famous for its short girls, while North China, especially Shandong Province is famous with its tall people.
So, men have no right judging anyone for their choices.

I know it's not a popular opinion but I think that short women who are into big height differences have unresolved mental issues of some kind, often daddy issues. I get wanting a man taller than you as a woman but wanting a man significantly taller when you're short is just strange. If you look at short woman super tall guy relationships the woman always has a weird thing with infantilizing herself, she also gets off the attention it gets, you just can tell she loves the comments of people saying they look like dad and daughter and stuff like that. That desire for a way way taller man is more normalized in countries where you can see women have that weird self infantilizing thing going on. America, certain Asian countries... It's almost always there, can be a subtle or noticeable degree. Just think about it

No. Not for me. I just genuinely find really tall men more attractive and they’re more masculine. And that’s the case for most women. Plus, the men I’ve dated have been football or basketball players.

I think it's because the average guy's height is taller to you than it is for average and tall women. However, I do not think it's something to hate on you for.
It'd be silly if you required it, but you're allowed to require whatever you want out of a relationship, as it's your life. It doesn't hurt anyone, but yourself, so it'd be stupid to hate on you for it. Again, that's if you require it. It just being a preference is normal, as it's hard to control what you naturally prefer.10 Reply - 1 y

616 opinions shared on Dating topic. It's when you say you demand someone who is six feet tall and you are barely five feet tall that people get irritated. Plus that is a sensitive topic for a bunch of guys because you're judging us based off a factor that we have absolutely no control over. It's not like if we're fat, we can control that (unless there's some medical issue we're dealing with), this is out of our control. Now if you want someone taller than you, that's fine, but just be aware with how you present it.

Competition. Girls HATE competition. ESPECIALLY for high value guys. So yeah--tall girls like to act like they "own" tall guys and short girls should stay away. But the truth is, guys generally don't give a shit about height on girls. We tend to just like smoking hot bodies. And very often, that comes on a petite girl.
The other place this shows up is with smart guys. Girls at top end universities and at high powered jobs or graduate programs, hate, hate, HATE it when a dude in their cohort starts dating a smokeshow who's a school teacher or something. Again, they like to act like they "own" the smart guys. Doesn't work that way.

Hmm. I'm not sure. I'm tall and while it never really mattered to me, as I'm almost 30, I do prefer shorter woman than my height. I've gone through phases of liking women my height, average height women, shorter woman, and all. Hmm. I guess the question i want to know is what short women get out of dating a taller man or an actually tall man by average standards taller? Like, is it something physically attractive or is it in a way of physical allure or I don't know. 🤔😂

I’d like a guy at 5’5 to 5’8. A tad taller than me or under 6ft. Because I want to make out, I want to look in his eyes. I don’t like a man to tower over me like the Eiffel Tower. I hate it. It makes me feel intimidated and harassed.

I’ve noticed that 90% of the people who are like that have some form of insecurity with their height. (Namely, short men and tall women.) Pay no mind to them. They will most likely say it’s “logical” for a shorter woman to date a shorter man; even though that doesn’t make a lick of sense.

For the same reason women lecture guys for not liking FAT women. And when you think about it not liking fat women is more logical than not liking short men. If your fat you can always lose weight. If a guy is short there's not much he can do to change that.

It objectively doesn't though, 2 men can look identical to eachother with one being scaled up or down to the other. Proportions effect looks, but height by itself does not. If 2 guys with the same proportions but different heights, each sent you a picture of themselves with monocolor backgrounds, you'd not even be able to tell what height they were.

My dad, a WWII vet, was no more than 5'7" and my mom was barely 5'2". I'm 6'2" and my sister is 5'7".
My mom's dad was 6'. One of her brothers was 5'11" and the other was 6'3".
My dad's father was maybe 5'6". My dad's sister was 5'1" or 5'2" and his brother was at least 6'.
His grandfather was a big guy.
So genetics is tricky. You sometimes inherit traits from grandparents or great grandparents. Also nutrition makes a difference.
The idea that a short woman is going to produce short children is nonsense.
