Why do people always ask tall females if they would date a shorter man?

[AmazonChick171]

They never ask short or average height women that? It’s Ike we’re not allowed to have preferences. I am sick and tired if is tall females being judged and people mocking what we do because we’re tall. Anyways I am 6’4” barefoot and dating has been very hard for me. I had an amazing boyfriend who was 5’7” but things didn’t work out and no our heights weren’t the reason. He was a jackass and said he was embarrassed being around a woman that’s larger and wider than him and he insulted me for wearing heels. I went on dates and none of them work our because they didn’t wanna be with a tall girl especially ones over six feet. I got asked every time if I would date a shorter guy like 5’4” or 5’11”. I mean I was honest and said I prefer taller but I’m keeping an open mind for now on. I still want someone taller than me though. I will be dead honest. Anyways tall women always get judged for having a preference. One guys said I’m no babe because I’m way too tall for a woman and I’m going to have a difficult time finding a decent boyfriend because most men prefer shorter women. I know most guys aren’t over six feet but I would love to meet a man that’s my height or taller (6’10”). I have a cousin who is 5’9” and her husband is 6’6” and my friend who is 5’2 has a 6’5 boyfriend. They even ask if I would date shorter because if I had bandies with a really tall man like say 6’10 then my children would be HUGE and there’s a slight chance that I will have difficulty giving birth or ruin my torso. Is that even true? How are these ladies finding these really tall men? I can’t even find one!

Because most girls’ in general don’t like shorter guys’ Most girls’ prefer having a taller guy. Also a-lot of guys get rejected or scared to be rejected by girls that are taller than him , he usually won’t waste his time trying , cuz he already assumes she won’t be interested in him , it’ mainly stems down from what people see and read and hear about in today’s fucked up society , Most people just assume things and believe things from what they see and hear from others or what they read off of social media.. Social media is garbage and sadly a lot of people believe most of it , when they shouldn’t , Social media was designed as a money making tool , brainwashing people to believe in things that aren't true , to make money. Why so many relationships are fucked up today and most people have become selfish and insecure , The divorce attorneys are loving every second of it , and divorce attorneys are the ones that created those stupid memes we see and read about cheating , because it’s filling their wallets Basically if your partner is doing this, it means they are doing this behind your back , sadly most people
Fall for this nonsense and wonder why they can’t last in a relationship, most people focus on things that they don’t have , instead of focusing on things they do have right in front of them. Why this society is so fucked up and people are so lost

Because women have height requirements. Men and women usually want and are attracted to different things. Many woman want confidence, a successful man, a man with a decent job and assets/money, they want him to be tall or taller than her, they are attracted to status or skills and power. Not all women, of course, but many. Looks too.

Many men are attracted to and want a pretty girl, nice figure, sweet, pleasant, feminine,

Height.

Women usually care more about height. Most guys don't really care if a girl is short, average or tall. Many women do care about that. Most want a guy that is at least taller than her and possibly taller than her while she is wearing her heels.

They probably ask because a lot of women won't date a man shorter than her. I'd think the shorter guys would be the ones to pose this question. Not tall guys.

Really understand what you say. I am not as tall as you but is a high girl in my country. Literally hard to find a taller man, while the shorter feel uncomfortable and self-conscious around me, require me to wear flat. So yes, I will still prefer taller man.

[renodnol32]

How tall are you?

[Harley1225]

@renodnol32 I’m 5’7”. Most of the guys around my age are under 5’7” (like from under 160cm to 167cm). There was a 5’8” guy that I am interested, and he seems attracted to me at first but he was not serious in pushing it further.

My sister is the same height with me, and my brother is also 5’8”. They once said that they seem high here, but when they went to USA for a trip, they felt so small

[renodnol32]

Where are you from?

[Avicenna]

People who ask that are probably just curious since you're taller than the vast majority of men, meaning your dating pool is relatively small if you're only willing to date shorter men.

Leaving aside the fact that a significant number of men prefer tall women, you're focusing on the wrong thing here. What makes a guy want to date you is that he enjoys being around you, so he wants your companionship. That is the guy you need to find.

[Avicenna]

* taller men, NOT shorter men!

[renodnol32]

Probably because popular culture has made it seem that way that the man must always be taller. Its not always the case and there's no rule that says the woman can't be taller in a relationship. I personally know a few couples in which the woman is taller. If i fancied a woman who is taller than me, i'd probably make a move. There have been instances when a woman taller than me approached me. I'm sorry you've had to endure a tough dating life and repetitive questions. I'm 5'10. I have dated women as short as 5'7 and as tall as 6'2.

[siseñor]

Perfect answer

[renodnol32]

Cheers.

I always wanted to hug tall girls who’d purposely slouch and make themselves look meek.

They should stand tall. Like lady liberty:

[syncheart]

I like tall women, and I like short busty women. But here is the thing, no matter what the other person looks like, unless you click with them, you got nothing. My suggestion is keep an open mind. If a short guy treats you with kindness, and cares for you, and you got somethings in common with him. This tall verses short thing might gradually go away.

[JacobJordan]

because tall women are an anomaly. average height women and short women are already shorter than nearly the entire male population. asking them if they would date a shorter guy is the same as asking if they would date a unicorn.

[AmazonChick171]

Well that’s unfair to a tall woman and they get called shallow when we prefer taller men. Girls like me that are over 6’ gets asked if we would date a guy shorter than us. Why wouldn’t I be 5’7 or 5’3”?

[JacobJordan]

do you know how many women are over 5'4"? 70+% the vast majority of women are under 5'4" do you know the number of men that are above 5'4"? 96% of men. and of course it is shallow to want a taller man if you are over 6' do you not have any understanding of how height works? 1.7% of men are 6'3" for example I mean if you want to set a near impossible standard for a partner go for it but it is of course shallow because height is not controllable. as for why wouldn't you be asked if you were 5'3" because you are already shorter than nearly everyone on earth. at 5'7 you are still shorter than the majority of men on earth so asking if either would date shorter men is as absurd as a woman who is 6' tall wanting to date a guy taller than her because of how few they are. it is just gate locking yourself out of a relationship. if a woman genuinely wanted a shorter man at 5'3" she would be looking for a midget because very very few men are that short. with 5'7 even not many men are shorter (barely 20% of all men in the US are that short or shorter) the shallowness actually has nothing to do with a specific height on either party and everything to do with 1 party requesting something that the other has no control over

[JacobJordan]

in regards to the error on the first line 70+% of women are 5'4" and under not over. realized after I submitted.

[AmazonChick171]

So you’re saying women my height should just settle for someone shorter than me? Look I said I would keep an open mind but even 5’9-5’11” women end up with shorter men but they have a better chance to have men taller than them but not really because the average height of a man is 5’9/5’10” so really they have no choice but to accept they will always date men their height or shorter. But women like me get judged so harshly. Most of these basketball players or whoever have petite or average height girlfriends/wife.
I got passed on and ignored. Even a guy in college told me I am way too tall and huge for a woman and he’s 6’9”! WTF? I’m slender but 6’4”. He said he prefers women under 5’10”.

[AmazonChick171]

Never understood why most women wanna be taller because most men like women shorter than them.

[JacobJordan]

I am not saying settle but I am saying you need to realize that what you want and what you are liable to get are going to be drastically different. you are 6'4" you are taller than something like 99% of men. I am 6' tall which is already a small number of men. the number of men that 6'4+ is even smaller. so while i understand you want someone taller you have to realize that if you limit yourself to that specific margin you are more than likely going to be alone forever. your best option would be to look for guys in and around your own height. say 5'10" to 6'+ least this way you get a bit more options. the thing is you are more than likely going to have to be with someone shorter than yourself because there simply aren't enough guys that are 6'4+. you can either make peace with that or you can fight it. it really sucks believe me I get it because like you are a tall gal making you an anomaly I am a very good man which makes me an anomaly. I heard a hell of a lot of criticism because of what I was okay and not okay with when it came to a partner. best things you can do if you want to seem more feminine is start wearing dresses, skirts/blouses. that may not negate the height but it will certainly help with finding a partner presuming you are looking for one. and lastly don't limit yourself too much because it would be most unfortunate if you limited yourself to the point of not ever having a partner.

[Surely]

I guess the reason that they ask you the question about dating shorter men. Your dating pool choices are a lot on the slim side. Thinking that they are asking you a reasonable question but, unknowingly picking at a scab that bothers you to no end.
I am less than 2 inches shorter than you and can understand your pain. I Would not have a problem with dating someone of your stature. In fact. I think it would be enjoyable for me.
Have a great day!

[HouseMoat]

While you didn't answer your own question, you're also sort of making us read between the lines. Basically, it's more popular for the guy to be the taller one in the relationship. It's so popular, it's cliche

[AmazonChick171]

What so it’s it a crime that I’m asking for opinions?

[HouseMoat]

Yeah

[AmazonChick171]

We’ll I’m not keeping quiet

[HouseMoat]

Cool?

[Staximus]

It's natural and understandable for a tall woman to want a tall man. It's ridiculous for a 5 foot tall woman to say she only dates guys who are over 6 feet tall. Just start going to basketball games or something.

[ThrillSeeker01]

Some women just like guys who are the same height or taller. I guess enough that some people feel the need to ask.

[Anonymous]

It's because shorter men always get screwed. Shorter girls want taller men. Taller girls want taller men.

[AmazonChick171]

Well why don’t you ask the petite or average height women if they would date shorter guys?

[Anonymous]

You're a headcase. Men don't date taller women because those women don't give them a chance. Don't put your s*** on other people.

[jimmy2]

My girlfriend is 7 feet I am 5.4 and there no problem

[AmazonChick171]

No way! Is she really 7’0?

[Nifrayu]

I like your height.

[AmazonChick171]

Yeah right

[Nifrayu]

I'm being sincere.

[AmazonChick171]

Thanks but its tough because most guys are intimidated or say I’m too tall. Even a 6’9” guy at my former college sad I’m too tall as prefers worn under 6ft.

[AmazonChick171]

I’m only inches shorter than him.

[Nifrayu]

You're only two inches taller than me and that's enough for me to find it very attractive.

[RedInnocent68]

Because, math.

[Lostinthisworld94]

Well, I am tall so I don't need to ask hhhhh

[Anonymous]

I love tall girls
