+1 yWife response: only toxic women seem to care about height. I am a little shorter than most women (I am 5'3"). from what I have seen every man is taller than me. Most teenage boys are also taller than me. Requiring a specific height when 99.9% of the men on earth are taller than you is a very shallow approach and it always is the shallow or toxic women that have such a requirement. My husband (account creator) is 6'1" which looks the same as 5'8 unless they stand next to each other he is a giant and I am tiny.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yShort women don't.
Tall women it's because they feel un-feminine enough. Being with a short guy makes them feel an object of ridicule. Yeah, you and I know it's ridiculous. But we're talking about a woman's mind here. Don't internalize personally. Just roll your eyes, know she missed out on a good thing, and move on to the next woman.

I'm 6'2 so it's never been an issue for me. I'm simply curious of why women are so insecure about something as arbitrary as height. You make some good points though.
Opinion Owner+1 yI understand dude I'm 6'5" so I'm above avg. height as well. But my sister 5'10" and I've seen her squirm when shorter guys ask her to dance. And I knew she was doing because they were short. It doesn't make any sense to use because we're not women. To us it's such a minor point. But to a lot of them it's not.

@Opinion Owner Yep sounds like the perfect example of female insecurities.

@Peridot25 Lol, who said you couldn't? My question was why are women so insecure about it?
- +1 y
@Peridot25 TY for proving my point. Society is perfectly fine claiming that men are "insecure" whenever they express their preferences however pose the exact sane question for females and people get all buthurt.
- +1 y
@Peridot25 Lol, did you ever consider that the reason the question gets asked "a million times" is because it's important to men, yet we ignore what men want and prioritize female preferences?
- +1 y
@Vegasrunner Ok, how about this? Make a post about what your preferences are for women.
- +1 y
@Peridot25 Done it many times. I already have a lot of women my main preference is just don't annoy me and be ready when I call you.
- +1 y
@Vegasrunner I think thatβs pretty much everyone. I donβt think anyone wants a partner that annoys them too much or have them not be ready when you have something planned.
- +1 y
@Peridot25 I think you misunderstand I mean ready as in you drop everything you're doing when it's your turn to get my time.
- +1 y
@Vegasrunner Like what for instance? Give me a scenario.
- +1 y
@Peridot25 Well for starters I don't waste my team w/ women who make demands. I gave you a self explanatory scenario. Drop what your doing when I contact you, if you don't understand that then that instantly disqualifies you.
- +1 y
@Vegasrunner So you want a woman who revolves her whole life around you?
- +1 y
@Peridot25 God no. I doubt any man wants that.
- +1 y
@Vegasrunner Then what? No normal person would want their partner to drop everything for them. We all have lives, you know?
I mean, what if your partner was sick or something? - +1 y
@Peridot25 Well for starters no one would ever characterize me as "normal" Studies show that "normal" guys have less than 7 sexual partners in their lifetime. Secondly like most women you're focused on the extreme when discussing a subject matter that you don't like. Woman that truly like their men will gladly drop everything for them in fact most women prefer to have a man their willing to drop everything for. If she won't than that's a good indication thar she's not into you. I'm making the assumption that you haven't found a man you were willing to drop everything for?

@Peridot25 Obviously I want them to be human, I want them to be a hot preferably white, woman

@Peridot25 You wouldn't need to beg me, you could just leave there's nothing wrong w/ that.

@Peridot25 Actually I've been in a minimum of one relationship for the last 30 years of my life. "Gross" is simply shaming language women use when they hear information that they don't like.

@sheikalana That's not accurate as a man would date a woman taller than him in a heartbeat
- +1 y
Not all men will date a woman who is taller than them. As I said it's a preference and everyone has their own preferences. If a guy is okay with dating a woman who is taller than him maybe he never had a height preference to start with.
- +1 y
And whose fault is that? After being put down by women for their height, how do you expect them to not be insecure?

@sheikalana If she's hot they will.

+1 ySome women claim to have "standards" which is them just being selective in a manner to display their own worth. In reality most women will date a short guy unless they're very tall.
Any women who is average height for a female and has some weird 5'10 and above standard is likely very shallow. These are the types of people that say I can't judge by weight (something they control themselves).
That is not most women though thankfully

+1 y😂😂😂 that's right give them a taste of their own medicine. If they blame their body count on mens "insecurity" we can blame heights on their insecurity. 😂
On a serious note.
90% of men in the world are average in height and between 5'8 and 6 foot is the normal height. Anything shorter than that or taller isn't a standard height for men. It's either undergrowth or overgrowth.10 Reply2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. You mean men are insecure about their own height. Seems a weird approach, even for redpill people who are already weird, to try to project that onto women.

@normalice I understand your confusion, no the question stands as asked. Why are women so insecure about a man's height?
- +1 y
@normalice You "feeling" something is false simply because it hurts your feelings isn't a valid argument, so while I appreciate the information it doesn't have any relevance to the question. If you would like to present an answer to the original question, I'm all ears

@normalice Nice, you spend you time w/ "Redhill weirdos"?

@normalice Ah, so you don't really understand this subject matter. How old are you?
- +1 y
@normalice apparently not, as you were unable to answer the question asked.
- +1 y
@normalice So not only do you not understand the question you're failing to bring any value to the conversation as well, by making up ridiculous theories. Again how old are you, because this is a mature subject abd you may be to young to understand it.
- +1 y
@normalice That's certainly a belief you are welcome to hold, however your narrative makes little to no logic sense seeing how it's you spending your time following me to whine about a post that makes you feel bad. If you have something factual or tangible to add please do but namecalling isn't an argument and only goes to highlight your immaturity which is why I asked your age.
- +1 y
@normalice That's great. If you've observed woman being insecure about a man's height are you able to articulate why they are?

@normalice Excellent question. That explains why you follow me and type nonsense. TY for that. My only advice would be to open your mind verses living in the reality of your limited experience. GL to you.

@normalice OK, as I mentioned don't really know what that means, but enjoy. If you have them "figured out" why are you following me?
- +1 y
@normalice You comment on every post so by definition you are following me. TY for the support.
- +1 y
@normalice It also has a literal definition. You are literally following me.

@normalice If you fail to understand what context means that your own issue and probably explains your struggles. I'm just glad that my writing is compelling enough to attract followers like yourself.

@normalice Than you need to prove it by responding appropriately to the question asked.

@normalice You are certainly welcome to believe that as delusion is a natural coping method.
- +1 y
@normalice Yes, ty for agreeing. Natural is not the same as healthy and it seems like you have an unhealthy obsession w/ me. However now that you explained that you're sad about the world it makes more sense. I'm glad you're reaching out to me as an outlet as I've helped numerous young men become successful. You could too, but you have to 1st relinquish your jealousy and your relationship w/ being dishonest.

- +1 y
@AaronKrieger OK, so you're willing to admit your limited experience is irrelevant to this conversation?
- +1 y
Everyone's experience is going to be limited unless you do a wide scale study in a variety of cultures and settings to argue it is a factual statement. Even then, you'll need said study to be approved by reputable people/organization (s).
Also, no, it is relevant to the question, as I disagreed with you. - +1 y
@AaronKrieger They done "wide scale studies on this and woman overwhelming choose taller men. Also and most uneducated make this mistake a study doesn't equal truth, "studies are used to validate or disprove original hypothesis. Also everyone's experience is not limited. I've been w/ over 400 women, have conducted several studies and surveys as a condition of satisfying my degrees. You as a 20 yro man have very limited experience, so to claim that ares are equal is completely false. You are more than welcome to disagree, however the fact that that disagreement is coming from someone who is extremely inexprienced about this subject only helps to validate my point. If you were an older man, that had been w/ 50+ women etc, then pehaps your point would have more validity,
- +1 y
However, you are not fine with me disagreeing otherwise you wouldn't dwelve this far into this conversation after I gave you multiple outs π. Each study would have to specifically talk about how "women are insecure about a man's height," as that is what your point is - not that women prefer taller men. The only reason I am not elaborating why I think it is not about women's insecurity is that this debate would just go forever and be about too many topics, lmao.
As for limited experience, I am not talking about your experiences with women or people you've known in general. To make a generalized statement and treat it as an objective truth (a fact), then you need the least biased conditions possibl;e. That is very hard to do from just casual hookups, relationships, and people you know. You would need to cover different ages, cultures, settings, races, time periods, countries, etc. People naturally are going to have limited experiences in that department, since you need the right conditions. It is fine to treat what you say as the truth while still acknowledging it is an opinion, but it seems to me you are arguing for it to be fact (if not, then correct me). - +1 y
@AaronKrieger That's false, I'm perfectly fine w/ you disagreeing as because of your limited experience it only validates my POV and your rational as to why contradicts your own actions. A study doesn't include emotion, once it's established that women prefer taller men, we hypothesize why. Overwhelming females responses are all things that can be fall under insecurities, safety, embarasment etc. Like most uneducated people you believe that a study must include every person in the world. A study simply need a sample size for a conclusion to be reached. Your generalization statement is factually incorrect as the world works off generalizations. Most people are right handed therefor most guns are made for right handed people. Also if what you're saying is true, you shouldn't be commenting at all on this post as your exprience w/ woman is far less than mine. So according to you we shouldn't take your opinion into consideration at all correct?

Most don't, but some do. Same as women. Don't tell me you've never heard of it?
- +1 y
@CheeseMonster Nah, men don't care at all about a woman's height and you certainly can't make the argument that as many men care about that metric on women as women care about that metric on men.
- +1 y
So you've really never seen men like tell their woman not to wear heels or do her hair up so that she won't be taller than him? Or pose in photos to make it look like she's shorter than him? Or if they're the same height insist that he's a little bit taller? Nothing like that? Okay. I know it's not common, but neither is women who care about men's height. I figured you would have at least heard of it though. It's not like either one is a secret.
- +1 y
@CheeseMonster Have I? No, but I wouldn't be the best example, I work in basketball so most everyone I know is either a current or former player, so dating a taller women isn't something that I've seen happen. Ironically those same women have expressed to us countless times why they prefer taller men, even in this post @Yamaal admits that we're "generally cuter" I would argue that if given the choice most woman would prefer a taller man and since men are labeled insecure for their preference only stands to reason woman must also be insecure for theirs?
- +1 y
That's fair. From what I've seen generally women prefer taller men and men prefer shorter women. Only some of them really care a lot though, and that's usually because of insecurity, yes.

@CheeseMonster Agreed, TY for the conversation.
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI'm assuming you mean that women are insecure about being seen with a short man so they don't date them. I don't think that's true, I think women go for taller guys because they feel safee with them.

@anonymous Yes, why are women insecure about being seen w/ a shorter man? Safety doesn't = height so there's not much logic to that. Mike Tyson is 5'10 are you saying a woman wouldn't feel safe w/ him?
Opinion Owner+1 yI don't believe it has anything to do with them being insecure about being seen with a short guy. I was just clarifying that's what you meant.
