I usually just hear guys saying this, so that they feel not as bad about getting rejected by a girl when in reality it's likely something else. I see short guys with girls all the time.
Literally go outside in public when all of this corona virus pandemic is over and look at the couples you see. You're going to mostly see a mixture of short and average height guys with girls. The only time I can see a girl being turned off by a guy's height is because she's taller than him by more than an inch.
That's directly opposite , then really tall women as I'm one of , mainly love guys avarage height, we get a far bigger dating pool too. I'd experience that first semi tall and short one , think the must get a guy tall as hell. We 190 cm+ don't get that dissed about the height of a guy, as most are shorter than us anyway, and for sure if we were heels , so why care shorter guy can't change there height more than we can. It would be a poor world if our height would be a deciding part of who we end up sharing our live with
@Petra150 There are a lot of women that are tall that date shorter than their own height, but I was talking about the average woman in regards to their height.
Ok I think it's more attributable to their combined strength as partners. Most of these notions come from girls who are on the shorter end and feel (due to inherent natural evolutionary tendancies) that they will be safer with taller guys. I am not sure if it's concious and they are conciously insecure about their own hieght but it does seem like a inherent tendency. I don't really see similar tendencies in fitter woman who are not on the shorter side.
Additionally you think it's unfair to judge because of hieght but in truth it is one the only characteristics to be transferred to your offsprings and considering most people to be average (which they are) going for a taller human seems like a rational decision. I am not tall by the way, before someone tries to attack on that basis.
That's vague, I have seen tall people who are intelligent to a decent enough degree? do you have statistics/data to back it/that up?

I think it made dating for us really tall women difficult, as we need to be the outgoing part, while men shorter than us , think we all tend to dislike them, and only date guys taller than us self. The fact I'm incredible tall I'll face serious problems finding a guy, if I had the luxury to let out them guys who were shorter than my self, while I'm over 2 meter tall. So all my grown up time , I'd been into guys all height, and build up a little preference for guys who are avarage height. And for 8 years ago I'd met the guy of my life, and hell he isn't tall at all, we faced and still do a lot of comments behind our backs , and people btend to glance at us. I still feel it very uncomfortable while my lovely boyfriend don't bseems to give a shot about it. I don't think that it's somthing ingrown in us , that our guys need to be taller, I have a few also very tall girlfriends who also have boyfriends shorter than themselves, and we all made the same experience, that having a shorter ( we are not talking midget height, but avarage height god looking men) boyfriend is just as good or better than a tall guy. So I just want to tell everyone so hopefully things change, as it for sure is a big taboo , bwe women Ned to bring out, as the poor guys don't do it as they properly feel far too embarrassed bye the issue, no one like to be exposed as a winer... and too short
Same for me. I used to not notice guys who are shorter than me but ever since I got attracted to one, I always seemed to gravitate towards them. There's something very alluring with guys who aren't only unfazed by a taller girl, but also can take her around and make her feel just as safe.
Yes I like the natural security them shorter guys give me, I know that avarage height men provide much more protection than a tall dude, vusalky them tall guy seems to give much more trouble. My fiancee who is avarage height , gave beaten up so many talker guys. And I couldn't feel anything but award with a gut my own height or taller ( if you ever come across s guy taller than my 204 cm ) I hate the nature of taller guys too, while most shorter and avarage height guys just seems far more confident, while tall guys show insecurity and are way more jealous , and the always try to compensate for there height, trying to fight as noone really can give them any respect, as it's hard to feel any kind of respect for a tall lanky guy, while men proper height just seems more in balance with then self. I could never imagine a tall guy as a leader, while the look like someone who will run away at first possible chance they have , cowardness usually is a bad habit for tall men. So of cause most women instinct make us prefer men not tall. Only young immature girls get fooled by a talk empty frame, later on in life 90% change attitude and find a proper guy, so guess vthat the reason most women finally find there love in a guy avarage height, and hopefully bmost find s guy close to there ovn height, and them lucky enough find a guy shorter than herself, every girl want shorter boys as kids
Well i am a guy so i can't say anything on other girl's behave but i will say this some of the really tall girls are just to skinny for me they almost look like a skeleton without the skin and its just gross to me plus imagine it hurt having all of those bones poking at u and ofc it just looks weird so in short i don't tall women cause they look weird. How ever there are few who are tall and look pretty good, but its a very small pool so far. Plus dating a shorter girl allows me to do more with her unlike with someone whose bigger and maybe heavier than i am
Its funny. Girls think that anything below 6' is short and undesirable, which means that more than half the male population is undesirable in their eyes. I guess its just one of those female prejudices that's based more on emotion that logic. But certainly all girls are not this way.
To be honest as s really tall woman, I'm very tired of my fellow sisters , having this well known and very horrific thoughts about men NOT tall ( by not tall I guess it's personal what is meant as tall, in my case being insane 294 cm tall, I don't se a guy 190 cm as tall in comparison to myself, but I know that he'll be in comparison to the avarage height for my area , as it is about 180 cm in North Europe) it make men scared of asking a tall girl like me out or even talk to me, and bit hurt me, I really love and are bfobd of guys who are avarage height in general. But I need to be the outgoing part , or no guys ever come my way , when I were dating
All I can say is I usually go for taller guys cause that’s my type I’m only 5’3. I tried dating shorter guys. I had a situationship that was like 5’5. I also went on a date with a guy that was like 5’6, 5’7 and both guys were terrible to me. Taller guys were and have been nicer to me. So I’ve equated a guys height to him possibly having less bullshit.
So you think tall men are better, I know tall men them selves think they are, and inhere women like you stand in line to make comments about how horrible men NOT tall are, do the tall society send out a reward for making NOT guys feel bad, do you have any kind of thoughts about what a poor guy who aren't over 6' tall should do with he's life, I can't date then all !!! may I ask you honestly how can men Not over 6' tall ever feel great, knowing there height make them useless ( unless they stand on a wallet full of gold, knowing them women who usually would trow there pants for every guy who are tall, also will go for gold too) how rich should a guy a few cm shorter be for you to forget your horrible height requirements.
@Petra150 Not necessarily but I’m more hesitant to date a short guy based on past experiences. I can make statements because it isn’t like I haven’t dated both. I think some short guys are trying to overcompensate as far as their self-worth goes. I was around those some that were trying to overcompensate. Taller guys have never really made it a point to argue with me or try to hurt me quite as bad. I feel a little safer with a guy that’s taller. Whatever guy I date I prefer him to be financially stable. I just don’t really like dating short guys. So if my height requirement is horrible to you it’s horrible to you but I’m not changing my stance on it. I was only asked for an opinion.
And you couldn't wait to show of you racistic thoughts, do you hate Jews too, ohh no a Jew can convert so it's not nearly as disgusting as hating people who are short, yes, weird that the women who have hated short men for their favorite occupation lie that they, as the only people, have met a tall man who is comfortable. And one thing is you are a racistic heightist, but the das fact you try to lie about them most pleasant and handsome men them NOT tall, while there's nothing sexy about a tall empty sheath of a guy. Most tall men are violent as hell and for sure overcompensate for there award look and because usually they treat women as trash. So where you have met a tall guy who were attractive and pleasant too seems to be a mystery. But the fact you are in love with height and NOTHING else in a guy, I guess it's fine so that all of us sensible women don't have to meet some intolerable tall guys. But to try to make 85% feel awfull and worthless is what pisses everybody who are normal thinking off. Before I joined this site I thought that heightism were a rare leftover from the nazi Germany , now I know that unfortunately many of us women love to hurt every shorter guy, 3 of my fiancee"s friends did commit suicide because some horrible women kept in telling them they weren't tall enough to manage there height requirements. i know there family still hope that the. Horrible heightist could be made responsible for their death and that these terrible women are punished.
Because most girls are short, and short people are biologically motivated to find taller mates, because otherwise they would produce tiny runts for children.
A 5 feet girl is always going to be the biggest height nazi, while taller women are most often going to be the ones who don't mind a man's height (because they have height themselves), that's just how evolutionary psychology works.
Short people seems to be less aggressive and far more comfortable to be around, I can't change my height , if I could I'd would love to be only 185 cm tall instead of my 204 cm, and it would been easier when I met my avarage height lover, and I could had hoped to get shorter kids with him, but now we ended up with two lovely girls who might end up being close to my height, we are happy that we got girls when my genes seems to be then they got. My fiancee were horrified of gettin bout who would become very tall, and we don't find tallness in a guy attractive, and we were happy ending bup with two girls
There is nothing biological that make us women more attracted to taller men, but statistical most women bare shorter on avarage than men. So ofcause most women end up with s guy taller. But if we women should be more attracted to a taller mate , but I know really many tall girls like myself, who aren't more attracted taller guys than avarage or short guys
That’s cause majority of women are short af and they like tall men cause due to natural selection they see a tall man that is a potential mate, as the prime candidate to make offspring with since the man’s tall genes could transfer down to their offspring
I dont even notice a guys heights, probably because litterally 99% of guys are taller than me so it's not even a factor when deciding if a guy is attractive or not
Why does this post smell like it was written by a dude?
Haha nah, I'm a girl. I've always been facinated by these stereotypes that people consider as gender norms, and seeing people i know bashing short guys really boggles my brain. Just wanted to see peoples thoughts on it :)
Exactly that what make me sad too, I'd really don't mind tall guys as friends neither, but I can't tolerate them of my girlfriend's ( or should I say ex girlfriends ) who openly brag about how much they hate them poor guys a few cm shorter than themselves, to swip away a guy on his height simply is horrible and close to be somkind of racistic in a way. Them guys can't change there height , while we easily can get bigger boobs or lose out som weight for example.
I don't have these low quality girls in my social circle. I'm sure in high school there would have been girls whom would have said "gtfo fking midget" but I never actually encountered this. In university there was a taller than me model girl sending me a love letter once lol. So for sure there are girls who are into short skinny guys.
by the way all these happened in Hungary.
That's cool! Just don't wear high heels on your wedding day! :D It's good that it works out for you two and you know that height is not everything.
So in all seriousness this height thing comes from evolutionary biology. Tall strong men had better chances to protect the girl than short week guys. If nowadays a girl is not mature enough to consider other aspects then it's only good for the guy to be rejected. It's a whole different level of communication to talk to someone with intelligence and emotional intelligence and with someone who mentally is stuck in the caveman days.
@Petra150 guys don't get ridiculed for their height, get off of reddit and go out to see for yourself. And just because you are unnaturally tall doesn't mean your husband is short.
@kencu67 not even in high school have I seen girls being so mean to guys to tell them "gtfo midget", and we both come from Eastern Europe. All this supposed hatred for short guys is an internet thing that came from guys who have other issues than height and blame their lack of success in dating on girls' shallowness rather than on their faults.
According to Wikipedia, it's Central Europe. But anyway I don't care, people can call it whatever they want, it doesn't change a thing and it doesn't really matter. People don't want to be associated with certain negative stereotypes connected to the phrase "Eastern Europe" so they imply a hypocritical morality on themselves by saying otherwise which I did as a meme. Although geographically it's Central Europe without having any positive or negative connotations. But culturally I love Eastern Europe so I never use it as a bad term.
Now that we have clarified this, which has absolutely nothing to do with the original post, we can agree that kids in high school are not the smartest, morally and ethically the most immaculate demographic group there is. If by adulthood they don't learn and evolve not to discriminate people, it's a good sign to avoid them.
Well, there are theories that a part of why Napoleon wanted to conquer everything was because he (subconsciously) wanted to compensate for his shortness. Short men with low self-esteem is not a nice combination! Although nowadays the might buy an expensive huge car to feel better about myself. Or go on the internet and complain about it :D
The ones that do usually have an overinflated view of their own desirability and want the best they can get
Someone said “they’re racist” 🤡
I’ve been with guys that are below 6ft it’s no problem to me, so..
I’m 5’6 and my husband is 6’2. I didn’t date him because he is taller than me, I dated him because we were into each other.
That's perfectly understandable. It's the same relationship with my parents.
@angeliquedevereux2 but it’s about the person in the end. If two people make each other happy nothing else matters.,
@katherinej exactly :)
@angeliquedevereux2 life is too short (no pun intended) to worry about what other people think or say.
I don’t “hate” short guys, I just usually don’t find them attractive.
Try to make one acceptable explanation why that's not gate to , automatically rejecting some men from somthing out of there hands, exactly the same if you rejected a guy on he's colour. Only difference bis that black or yellow guy will still have many to date, but women in generel Will hate guys shorter than her self, so we are here talking about a general hate on men below you own height, that's so dam illigal and morally distasteful
@Petra150 It’s fine to reject anyone who’s not physically attractive to you, whether it’s because of his height, skin color, or something else. I don’t care whether he can control it or not- I won’t be physically intimate with a man I’m not physically attracted to.
So you should rather try to get help from a psychologist, rather than try to make everyone think your sick thoughts are legal. As many less intelligent and immature teenage girls might think women are allowed to , hate men in general on there height. Wish you could be done responsible for thoughts like your, as it certainly are the main reason so many men's life are spoiled, though mainly all men NOT act fantastic and try not to be affected but those inhuman thoughts you and most other shallow girls proudly expose
@Petra150 I’ve seen your other posts so I know that trying to explain this to you is a waste of time. Enjoy your precious short guys, but don’t nag other women for liking the taller ones. It’s not a crime.
I'd think every person on this world know it's morally totally unacceptable and , in practice it's the way to ruin our human race, to be just a little philosophically you should know that treating other people bkije you feel " super" isn't by no mean acceptable at all. Perhaps it's because people in here are some kind of anonymous that they feel obligated to bring up very horrible and evil opinions like your , and knowing they are very rare in real life , that a skut will admit how heartless and horrible her opinion about the most attractive guys are. Guess you know in real life far far more guy NOT tall are chosen as a boyfriend, because they simply are much more attractive , there are a simple reason tall guys are way fewer , because they simple are less attractive and normal thinking women know to avoid them, guess that why they are tall , we simply can recognize and thereby avoid them. But sad you want to bring up a false truth that it's legal to hate men NOT tall and trying to make it sound as it's common that we women should be attracted to guys taller than themselves. I know nearly all my girlfriend's live men mainly because they are shorter than them self
Women don’t gravitate towards tall guys or short guys they just sit there like a dead fish waiting for a confident man who is barely good enough but actually makes a move on her.
I like tall men cause i like to feel all small and fragile and protected by a big, tall, strong man. 🥰
Speaking as a short guy (5'6"), people will have preferences and all you can really do is just to accept that.
You do seem like someone who makes up for it. So don't worry, you are probably going to be alright...
For real you like short guys. Cool! Feel free to come visit me in Luxembourg ;)
I know, rare breed of women that like short guys. But I'm an Aussie haha
Damn thats at the other side of the world, too bad
It's not that uncommon as you might think, among really tall women I'd say 1/3 do have shorter partner and 1/3 taller and 1/3 no partner or same height. I would face big trouble finding a guy taller than my self or even same height so my guy is 22-23 cm shorter than myself. And that's not a big deal between us, but many strangers feel the need to comment on it
I love to follow you and we could text each other on message I already follow you, I'm so dam excited that other have the same heart and understanding for our favourite " toys" the great guys, and you like me didn't judge them on their height, I too hate when someone rate me on my height love to message you
@Petra150 are you talking to me?
I don't mind if a girl is taller than me even I can go with 6 inches taller lady
I don't hate them; I'm just not attracted to them. And it's a preference, so i'm not sure why women having a preference in height is "hate".
Search up 'short guy memes' on google and you'll get it. I do see actual hate on short guys in day-to-day, calling them useless, unnatractive, dull and just overall being cruel to men who literally cannot change their height. Just a thought, even though I know it's a lot to do with preferences.
Yeah, same with white guy memes, black girl memes, hispanic girl memes, muslim memes, and etc. You're being way too sensitive. Everyone has stereotypes and everyone has preferences.
Yes we two are so much the same opinion on this horrible taboo. And using the word" just a preference" is just as pathetic bad the " evolution story" no one should try to tell me tall men were favoured in them small caves were food were somthing hard to get, wtf should a woman be stupid enough to chose a guy who are much more than normal guys. Live your questions, nice someone bring this up. Live to follow you
It's the world's worse excuse, to treat someone bad for not being tall, us not s preference bits sick and should be fined just as hard as racism. It's a big mystery why we still in 2020 , keep on make jokes about beveryone else than tall men, there's just 19_15% tall guys and we seems to treat them as kings all on the behalf of men Not tall, while a guy avarage height bus treated just as bad as a guy short by all of us women , well I'd guess only 10-15% of us women treat them guys with respect vand dignety. It's very sad , and never use the word preference, when in fact it's horrible heightism, somthing we women should be far to good to keep on practice. Hope the day were it will be illigal is soon
@Petra150 What the fuck are you smoking😂
@Petra150 i don't know what you're saying.
Sorry for just taking care of my make friends, as I mostly socialize with men way shorter than myself, pretty easy as im that insane tall myself. But I'd always learnt to treat people having a bad time good. And hell I tell you men who aren't exactly tall usually face a horrible time trying to date women who manly are heights who hate then or even worse simply neglect them just for being Not tall.
@Petra150 You can still treat short men well, but not date them.
Well of cause even I can date more than one person at the time, if we are monogram lovers, and I guess most in here are, think only tall self conscious narcissistic guys can date more than one girl at the time. But I don't think you are stupid at all, so I'd guess you get my point, the automatic swipe left for guys missing a redicolas height requirement when the fall under the magic 6' , or reject a guy when a talker stand beside him, loving men for only being tall, and give everyone NOT tall the " not worthy " as a liver, DO give a clear expression you hate them. I'd been rejected bteice by a guy who told me I were too tall, he of cause were tall himself, but felt I took away some of the attention tall men love, so they hate me for my height. So I know what feeling them men feel , I were only myself they are 85% of all men Not tall. Do you get my point
@Petra150 Girl, shut up, you're embarrassing yourself.
@Petra150 How does people having a preference make them mean? I don't have to like a short guy just because you write paragraphs about it.
@Petra150 Why can't you say your thoughts in an open forum?
Guess you don't want to message me. I'd hoped we could have text eachother despite we seems to disagree on af something so importen as how to treat other people. To respect all human being or only feel tall guys are worthy to be respected. Sad i think we might been a great match in texting eachother..
@Petra150 DUDE! No one is being a dick to short guys. NO ONE IS OBLIGATED TO DATE ANYONE.
@Petra150 Okay, and those are your emotions. And they're totally valid. Just like my choice not to date a short guy.
May I ask what you consider short, I of course mabee have an other opinion about what's short. Everything shorter than your self could be short to people, and the fact I'm so tall, naturally everyone below my 204 cm , would seem short to me, so if you were me you'll rule out every guy below 204 cm as short and thereby worthless and useless to date, and logical enough guys you wouldn't date are not worth anything. I could never socialize with a guy I couldn't feel like dating potential. That seems very natural. Ofcauce we can't bdate more than one , but still I couldn't be so false to be good friends with someone I wouldn't like to date if I were single. Now what would you do if you were me, I mean you seems to be very confident that your way of finding a guy is the best, I'll like to know what you'll do in my case, and to be honest what so you think of my choose in life, obviously you must feel I'm dating under my level and I'm a gold digger
@Petra150 I'm 5'9". So anyone shorter that 5'11" is tiny to me. Also, I don't give a fuck who you date. I don't give a fuck about what level you're at or how tall you are.
And i have many, many male friends so i think its weird you're unable to sexualize every single man you see and decide being friends with them is not something you could do.
I guess guy who only features are being tall, ekstremly few tall guys , are worth even talk too, they probably don't understand abytgin else than immature shallow teenager girl, throwing there pants , while they make all proper men sad, I hope off all my life , the day you wake up, and find other features in a guy than a those total unimportant cm in height, then wonderful avarage height men , can forget what a horrible woman and heightist you are. I hope heightism one day finally will be illigal and them who love hurting men on somthing so insignificant as height , they will be accounted for by the terrible thoughts who has destroyed millions of men's lives forever. When I were you age I didn't loved to hurt people for things out of there hands.
Who the fuck will be friend with a girl who wouldn't even respect them, have you told them you hate there height and think they are worth less than a guy some cm taller, have you told you " friends" you find men under 5'11 unattractive, do you like people who tell yourself that they find you unattractive. Excuse me it all seems wired to have friends you don't respect at all, as judging men on there height is so way out its out of my head that someone in 2020 still can treat people like you do. Really I should feel sad for you, but I can't really feel so , and the fact you are afraid of texting me, is the reason I need to text it here.
@Petra150 Girl, nobody's reading all that. i'm not changing my dating preference.
Perhaps them who love hurting proper guys can't read and are so immature they can't think on how to treat other people, perhaps brmthey are just as egoistic and brainless as tall guys in general are, so loving them might be the best. Sometimes people join up who are mental in the same level ( and in this case it like having two mentally handicapped living together) but still I can't accept HEIGHTISM and I'll do everything to fight it when ever I hear a slut Bragg about how she love to ruin proper guys life and feel attracted to centimeters in height rather than personality
@Petra150 Another paragraph I'm not going to read. Still never going to date a short guy.
Hmm I'd hoped we could have texted each other , I'd would have loved to guess bwe are like Ying and Yang, everyone know oooersut attract. You never developed your self being with people who you look like or who only agree with you. Pretty logic. I don't at all think you are a bad person, I might like you out things on a pile of I do regret if I'd offended you, remember people have different taste , and I guess when you grow up you might by accident end up with a lovely guy with a great personality who maybe are a few cm below you only requirement HEIGHT. And in a way you have a big advantage been people ask you how your boyfriend is we you can say " he's 6'5" and that's it and that's quit quick to get over, while I have to mention all them many great things about my boyfriend as he's everything else than just a given and insignificant height. But still my invitation to we can follow eachother and I'd drop my judgement of your choice if guys. I give you my word , it's not nice of me to carry on
@Petra150 You: "Remember people have different taste". THEN LEAVE ME TF ALONE. Stay with your short bf! Jesus!
You two need to stop arguing. If you actually want to further this then PM each other, I'm getting annoyed cuz my phone is getting spammed everytime you chat. PM or make up.
... it's literally my thread lol if she wants to reply she's allowed to?
So sorry if you read my comments you knew I'd tried several times to switc over to PM, but for some reason it's more important for her to make everyone know how much she hate men NOT tall. And she keep on about, her free choice to ruin NOT tall men's life ( well that's infact what her choices result in, everytime one of us brag about how worthless NOT tall men are , we make things worse and worse for guys who aren't tall, and try look at the dead reason for men, suicide are among the biggest dead reason, and NOT tall guys are far most because of the way we women treat them, so then of us who treat them like her are partly responsible for most of those suicide)
@Petra150 Girl, go home.
It's not that girls don't like short guys but here's the twist, GIRLS DON'T LIKE GUYS THAT ARE SHORTER THAN THEM
I like them short so... I really don't know either. I think this is an ego thing somehow...
because they have the luxury to do so.
ikr, i'm 5'4 and no girl will ever love me
Im 170cm
They're racist.
