I've seen loads of women date short men so dont draw that card lmfao
1 yMaybe because tall women are different from current conventional beauty standards/social expectations/whatever you wanna call it? Right now it's that men must be taller, women must be shorter, men must be physically strong, women must be more dainty, men should be more aggressive and protective, women should be more nurturing and caring, etc...
Really sucks for both men and women who don't meet those standards... including me actually, as I fit into literally none of those three examples.
For what it's worth, my current (and only and first) girlfriend is taller than me. She's also older than me. She's also usually more assertive than me, while I'm more shy (my username checks out, lol). So I guess you could say me and her break gender norms in quite a few ways. I'm not necessarily super feminine and she's not necessarily super masculine, we still look like "regular" men and women from the outside, but we do break gender norms in some ways, even if not in physical appearance, lol.

1 yNo a lot of women don't like short men if that were true as a short man I'd be getting DMs like crazy but i'm not. I think its the physical feeling men dont like tall women because it makes them feel like a little bitch the same way women don't like short men cause they feel weird. I'd ignore them all. Anyone that says guys don't care about height are LYING. These guys out there want a pixie fairy for a girlfriend/wife they won't admit it. I always found tall women just as attractive as other women though so idc
011 Replyno offense, but girls dont js like guys for height, u could js be unattractive to them. hope u find the tall woman u want
- 1 y
Oh boy how you are so wrong. Women will preach to the world how much they love tall guys for their height. Idc about height of women, there's women i've liked all the way from the shortest height to the tallest its all attractive I care about compatibility and personality as well. But to say that height doesn't matter to MOST women is bull. I'm a decent looking man not like a 10/10 but far from ugly. I lack this physicality of being a huge ass guy to women so thats probably it and I can assure you that matters a lot, its evolutionary
yeah no, coming from an actual woman a girl wouldn't date a guy JUST bc he’s tall, sure its a big factor but not the only one. and may i ask how tall u r? and by the way if u want to get more attractive many women are attracted to buff funny short guys if its helpful.
- 1 y
Its not the only one but it is what draws women in. Similar to how guys are attracted to things like face and body in women at first. Most men are not short so therefore more women will be going for men that are not short even if us short guys are good enough we get overlooked. I'm 5'4, that makes me shorter than 98% of men in my country USA. On average, any full grown man will be taller than me at any moment. Anything beneficial can help to attract women, sure. But any woman can also have many suitors going after her all of which are not short and also have good qualities as well so the choice is on her
not always, you’d b surprised how many women dont care that much ab height, its only the gold diggers on the internet that want a 7’0 guy lmfao. Okay, there's loads of girls who wants to date someone their own height. I've only seen men have many suitors tbh never a woman
- 1 y
No I can promise you as a full grown 5'4 man that women do care about height. It might not be tall but they do. I've been living in the USA all my life. I've never seen THAT many women with short men and a good amount taller. Mind you the average women is not that tiny as well and they are like 5'3 - 5'5. So even if they want a taller guy, not even tall, that would eliminate me and a lot of short men as well just on that alone. I think even just being bare minimum 5'7 for a guy is enough. The only men that have suitors are men that have great traits like rich, good looking, good body w/e. Most guys aren't getting shit
maybe if u care that much, move to a country where the average height for men is 5’4. or find a woman who’s like 4’11. many women want a guy the same height, im one of them if u needed proof. well then get a good body? go to the gym if u want smth done.
- 1 y
No many women don't want men of the same height if that were the case I'd see so many women with guys same height here in the USA. They are with average height men at least. I've liked a few 4'11 women they didn't like me back so I don't know. Maybe one might who knows I don't make the call. Although if most women in this country were tiny to me that would make a difference. Im relatively fit and in shape. It's really trial and error.
lmfao the world doesn't revolve around you, i see same height couples everyday, js bc u dont see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. maybe move to an Asian country, I've heard women are pretty short there

@TommyWiseau69 Why dispute with a sixteen-year-old who has hardly seen life yet? Teenagers think they know everything, so stop trying to persuade them. However, what you're saying is valid; many women just won't date men because of their height.
881 opinions shared on Dating topic. men tend to prefer the woman to be shorter than them, just like women tend to prefer the guy to be taller than them. so obv that means tall girls on average aren't going to be as interesting to guys as shorter ones. though how much of a problem being tall girl is depends on how tall we're talking about. if a girl is 5'7-5'9 shouldn't be a really problem but 6ft+... that's probs going to be complicated

1 yIt's the same reason a lot of women wouldn't date short guys. There is a dominant submissive dynamic in the relationship between men and women.
Men generally prefer smaller, shorter, weaker, and younger women whereas women generally prefer bigger, taller, stronger, and older men.
It translates to the bedroom and it has to do with the protective dynamic.
It's not to say all men would not date a taller girl than themselves, but generally the more petite a girl is, the more the guy feels he can toss her around in bed and feels like he can protect her.
The same goes for women. Although there are some girls that would date men shorter than themselves, there aren't many.10 Reply 3.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. I'm 6 ft and I have dated women at least 5'9 5'8
I have also dated women that are 5'3. 5'4

1 yI see loads of men date tall women as well…. So it just depends on personal preferences. Personally how short or talk someone is isn’t in their control. Who they are on the inside matters more to me but that’s just me.

1 yWho says we don't? Most of the girls I dated as a single were tall and beautiful! Somehow I managed to marry a short and beautiful girl. But it could just as easily have been one of the tall ones. I don't think you can make a blanket statement like that!
00 ReplyBecause they feel insecure about their height and feel they should be taller than women because of the traditional thinking shit. You know, the whole being “the pants in the relationship,” “money maker,” being a “male,” and other shit. Honestly, I would not care if I were to date a taller girl than me, and I simply would not give a flying fuck. Hope that helps. ✌️
00 Reply5.9K opinions shared on Dating topic. I think that men just like women who are taller than they are because being next to them, particularly in public, is vaguely uncomfortable. I've been with women who are taller than I am and I am fine with them as long as we are sitting down and they are not visibly taller than I am. It's when we stand stand up and especially when we walk together that I get vaguely uncomfortable. This is irrational and I know that but the feeling is still there. I can overcome it and it's not a big deal for me but I think for a lot of guys it is.
I also want to note that women are really repelled by men that they consider to be too short for them or that are actually physically shorter than they are and generally refuse to date them or have anything to do with them. I don't think most men carry it that far.014 Replywhy is it uncomfortable? and may i ask how tall u r? you’d b surprised by how many women who dont care ab height.
- 1 y
I honestly don't know why it's uncomfortable but I can tell you that it is. I'm 6'2 and I have gone out with women who are taller than I am in that vague feeling of discomfort is absolutely there. I think other men probably experience this too as well and I think I'm going to ask a question about it. Thanks.
or they mean it?💀 not every woman lies 24/7
okay? only desperate gold diggers on the internet care ab height, if u actually go outside for once you’ll see that people dgaf
well im a woman who knows loads of women, if a huge part of women that ik dont care ab height i can assure you many other women do too. nah gold diggers would marry someone forever js for money by the way, im talking ab desperate women in general, they’ve never been in the real world, u need to get off the internet and stop watching these women with intense standards. and im also talking ab men who dont want somebody who’s their height and not js taller

1 yI don't have a problem with a woman's height if she's not taller than me. I'm 6ft if a woman is 5'10" for me it's not a problem. the most important thing is whether I like the height in general doesn't matter much in my opinion. although I noticed that most of the women I had a weakness for were of average height.

I never thought about it but yes it can be difficult for tall girls because they are mostly restricted to taller guys
Tall guys are highly sought after
So for a tall girl to get a tall guy she must also be attractive.
Having said that, tall guys do prefer tall girls but that can choose whoever they want.
