Are tall women dating problems self inflicted and is the belief that men don't like tall girls false?

[JayKuboro23]

I hear a lot of women say that men don't like tall women but is that actually true? Think about it for a second. A tall girl is more likely to give a man a tall son, which every man would prefer, and she is more likely to give a tall daughter who is less likely to be targeted by a predator.

To me the belief that men don't like tall girls is more due to how the dating world is dictated by female choice. Pearl Davis is a youtuber and professional volleyball player, that is tall, and she said that during her many years on the team, she has notice her female friends either only date men their height (6'1+ and above) or date a few inches lower but the guy had to be hot. Now depending on what country you look at, restricting your dating option to 6'1 and above is going to greatly hamper your chance in finding someone for a relation.

[6'4" tall girl that only targets men her height or taller. These men often are professional athletes that only use her for sex and now she has reserved herself to staying single]

I think a lot of avg and short men don't even bother approaching tall girls due to the fact that women make it so vocal all the time that they want a guy at least as tall of them. And this lack of approaching by men shorter than them is often used by women as a scapegoat to justify only wanting taller men. Aka men don't like tall girls the same way that women don't like short men.

[For example, Jackie Jing is an American model and comedian. Few years back she made a video complaining about how dating was hard. She was 30 and wanted a serious relationship but didn't want to compromise on height]

[Gabby Gonzalez is 6'1" and appeared in a youtube channel dedicated to street interviews. In it, she talks about height doesn't matter and how its a man personality and soul. A few months after she started dating a 6'5" good looking male and their relationship ended in 7 months]

Now, would these women have the same problem if they expanded their dating life?

Yes

No

partially. i think for super tall women, on one hand they have the natural (or maybe societal I don't know) inclination to find someone taller or maybe at least the sameish height and that's a problem when you're the height of a tall man, and also they have the issue where men find them less attractive and are less interested in them (because many men want the woman to be shorter than that or at the very least a similar height, and having the woman be much taller than you can be a bit embarrassing and less attractive to them). so if they lowered the height standard they'd have an easier time but not as easy if they were a more normal height

anyways i dont think most men like super tall girls, unless maybe they look like supermodels. being crazy tall as a woman is more like a flaw. personally i'm 5'8, so i'm tall but not crazy tall for a woman. i dont have dating issues but i've heard a lot stuff like that i'm the limit and if i was a bit taller i'd be too tall. also like 60-70% of guys shorter than me aren't interested in me. i get the most frequentely hit on by men at least slightly taller than me. so i'm guessing for a 6ft+ woman it must be more difficult regardless of their standards

The only reason you gave for men preferring taller women is because they MIGHT provide tall children. That’s not even guaranteed and also I don’t feel like men are already planning a family with a woman when they first meet.

I gave one benefit. I could list out many but there is a 2000+ word limit on Gag. A lot of human action are dictated towards having children even in the initial stages of dating that people aren't consciously aware of.

In terms of your last point, there is a paed height calculator that is fairly accurate in predicting a childs height given the parents height.

For male children it is (man's height+women's height/2) + 5 inches
For female children its (man's height+ women's height/2) - 5 inches

As you can see, a taller woman is more likely to give a taller offspring for a man.

For example, if the man is of avg height 5'9 and had a child with a 6'2 woman, his son would be 6'3.

Im not reading all that but the idea of guys not liking tall girls is false. I know of many guys who like tall women. I’d honestly say it’s 50/50 with guys who like short women.

[WhitneySnow]

I think some guys prefer shorter girls but a lot of guys have no problem dating a tall girl

I for one like tall girls. But are they going to like me? Probably not.
