Why are short men so offended girls have a preference for taller guys?

[Lighthin]

They just choose the bluffing strategy and hope it works by creating an illusion of sexual rights that might work with low iq girls that are eager to please and help a sad victim of social imbalance. Don't fall for it.

Because they're short. This leads to many insecurities, also having a short penis adds to it quite a lot. All of this builds up a lot of tension which turns them into vicious little creatures.

Isn't this more commonly known as Short Man Syndrome.

Men like women with fat asses and big tits. Yet when we have a preference they get mad?

[ChronicThinker]

Why are girls so offended when men say they won't date fat girls?

[EpicDweeb]

I just think it's funny because girls seem to constantly complain about how high the standards are that men supposedly set for beauty. I've heard so many complaints at this point about how guys have unreasonable expectations to which women should never have to be held. And yet... height... the epitome of an uncontrollable factor, over-which men clearly have no say, the ULTIMATE unreasonable expectation if you will seems to be held consistently by most women. (At least those who are vocal about it).

I myself don't care if you like how short or tall I am. I just think it's dumb that people so often say "that's just my preference for what I find attractive so you don't get to be offended if I'm not attracted to you. Only to turn around when someone they like DOESN'T find them attractive because they don't meet some physical standard for beauty or attraction." In other words it seems kind of hypocritical and guys get offended because women aren't okay being held to a certain beauty standard themselves, while they are very adamant about HOLDING guys to a certain standard of attraction.

[Prettygurl12]

I agree with you that people are allowed to be attracted to who they want to be.

HOWEVER... to answer your question. How would you feel if you had a quality you couldn't change and 99.9% of the opposite sex ruled you out because of it?

At our core, humans are animals and animals focus on two things... eating. and reproducing. In the REAL animal world, all traits that didn't secure a mate would have died out a long time ago so in theory, all people would be attractive enough to secure a mate. All men would be big and tall and strong enough to be a real force and all women would have birthing hips and big eyes and the perfect hourglass shape. But we're humans with our advanced society and shifting values.

It's no longer about your ability to physically survive the elements or clashes with others or defend a family. It's about your ability to provide for the family in addition to being attractive. This new value on money has shifted what traits survive to the next generation.

So I imagine the short guys are over here craving genuine affection from females, but, for a lot of females, they feel the only thing they can offer is financial security. Which is important, but the order of traits you can offer influences what potential mates you attract and sometimes the mates you attract aren't the ones you want.

This is evolution at work, and unfortunately it is working against short guys. You are right that people (in this case girls) can’t help to whom they’re sexually attracted. It is also true that physical attraction is just as important as personality. This is an unfair manifestation of Nature, which results in the complaints of short men. Their reaction is understandable, but if they attack you as a result of that, then this would definitely be wrong.

There are also some short men out there who have established happy relationships with women. So, obviously, they can find someone who will accept their physical characteristics, although she may not be the woman they initially liked. And, that should be accepted as the way human relationships work.

Some short men may also have additional female characteristics, which may result from the same hormonal deficiencies. I was one of those men; only 5'1'' tall without prominent male characteristics. I have transitioned in time to a female, and in addition to the gender more suitable to my nature, I have a far wider range of options for dating. And, I am sorry to say that I am now looking for taller men as a partner, as well. So, I perfectly understand your mindset even though I, once, was a very short man myself.

My uncle is 5’2 and he’s a very respected professor at uni, he’s funny but smart at the same time, and all his students like him. And even some females students had a crush on him, because of his social skills. He’s also adorable with kids, especially with me and my cousins when we were young, and he married a tall attractive woman, who dearly love him for himself. On the other hand i have another uncle who’s tall, handsome and he’s a doctor but his mariage went wrong because he married a gold digger who only spend his money for herself and doesn’t care about him , he’s not a bad guy but he’s very rude and commanding. What’s so funny is that he’s jealous of his short less attractive brother who despite being shorter and making less money married a better looking smart caring woman, and everyone prefer to spend time with him because he know how to make peoples feel at ease plus of having an agréable sense of humour. I remember one day someone spit on his shoulder accidentally because he didn’t saw him, and instead of getting mad my uncle laughed about that and wiped the saliva with an apron, before saying to the guy who was embarrassed that it was okay, he did that with a lot of charisme and a cool clam attitude that made him look very class. It’s probably because of him that I didn’t noticed earlier that being tall is a beauty feature. What I want to say is that some other short men aren’t hated because they are short but because they are bitter and childish. Ofc they aren’t going to attract every women of their dreams and it will be harder for them to succeed, but hard work and a good personality is always rewarded no matter how you look like.

It's not so much the nature of the preference itself but rather the popularity of the preference. Every inch has a noticeable impact on the size of your dating pool, especially online where your height is often displayed in writing.

Of course, many factors under a man's control can increase the size of his dating pool with a bit of effort! However, some short men are salty that they have to work harder to attract the same women that some otherwise equally attractive guy who's taller than them. To most of us, that's just life and applies to countless facets of it, yet so many others seem to have missed the memo! One group I do pity are the men at the very short end of the spectrum, and on some level I believe their insecurity of never finding a mate is justified. I can't even imagine how hard they must have to hustle to achieve any HOPE of making it through the cracks, and that's pretty much only if they're lucky enough to have some sort of HIGHLY marketable talent.

Last thing, here's something men should be grateful for and always keep in the back of their minds for whenever they begin declining into despair: Men have an entire litany of paths to a woman's heart! Suffering severely in a few categories can be redeemed by excelling in JUST ONE of many categories--and it's YOUR CHOICE which one! Meanwhile, women are practically stuck to navigate the 2-dimensional Hot-Crazy Matrix, as illustrated with scholarly rigor in the video linked below!

Lmao you don't even want to accept anybodies opinions, you sound exactly like a well hated girl on this site. Maybe you are her miss Anon. But I agree it's the same as when girls get upset that guys like shorter girls, or like girls with bigger boobs and a smaller waist. It's because it's not something they can exactly change, they were born that way so it hurts their feelings when so many people say it's a turn off for them.
Don't ask questions, if you're not going to accept other opinions/answers.

[young_old_soul]

Height is something we cannot control. In general, but not always, women prefer their man to be taller than them. There's nothing wrong with having a preference, but shorter guys will usually blame their height if they struggle with women, even though it's mostly their personality that is to blame. This has been made worse by dating websites, where many women will say "I only date guys over 6 foot." The equivalent is for men to say "I only date women under 160 pounds." The arbitrary cutoff makes it appear that this person only cares about a specific physical trait rather than personality.

There's also the double standard where it's seen as shallow for men to say "I'd rather she not be overweight" but then there's nothing wrong with girls saying "6 foot or taller, no exceptions." I don't associate with the "meninists" as they are just the male version of the radical feminists, but there is no denying in that the double standard exists.

[Gavyn]

Why are fat women offended that guys would rather date skinnier, healthier people? Guys can't help what they're sexually attracted to, and it just so happens that morbidly-obese women are not one of them.

Before you bitch and moan about it being 'different,' you're right! It IS different. Unlike short men, fat women can control the issue with exercise, a healthy diet, and if necessary a weight loss surgery. However, these days most do nothing to control the issue and even have the audacity to try to force us to find it attractive. If you think short men who complain are unappealing, imagine how unappealing fat, grown-ass women who try to make you think they're 'sexy' and 'beautiful' 'the way they are' despite being the exact opposite and when called out on it they have a tantrum are.

[betaTester]

How tall are you and what's your height preference?
Yes `no one wants to be rejected on something they can't control` is a good explanation. It answers the why. People are entitled to their choice, and their choice offends other people, thus other people are offended, this is a very common phenomenon.
But you seem to want the answer to a different question "is it okay for short men to be offended girls have preference for taller guys?"
It's a similar reason why ugly women are very bitter, the first incel was a female who killed herself on television, literally nobody offended her yet she is still offended.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

It doesn't matter how tall we are.
When I was 16 I was already 6 feet tall. After a gimnastic performance in my school I was a sweaty mess and in a stupid outfit. Three girls that were there actually asked me to move out of the way because I was blocking their view to another guy. HE WAS SHORTER THAN ALL THREE OF THEM! I was taller than them and they still wanted to see him. He had a lot of style truth be told.
I moved half a inch just to mess with them xD
Anyway it really depends. Girls do go for the short guy sometimes.

[God_of_Thunder]

'Cause they're butthurt, and only think preferences are fair, when it doesn't affect them.

Like, yeah; I'm sure that being a short guy sucks, but would you rather get rejected, or be with someone that doesn't find attractive? You could be using the time that you would have wasted, with her, to find someone who does find you attractive.

[lernulo]

Well, first of all, I don't call any of those things to any girl, no matter what.

Second, it's different a preference to a red flag.

If it's a preference it's normal, everybody have.

If it's a red flag, then she has superficiality levels very high, and it's time to see if she is narcissistic too.

(one of the most evident things about narcissistic people is their care about image).

So I don't judge for a preference it's like when you talk to a guy and says he prefer blond girls, and after you see him with a brown haired girl and he doesn't mind, because it was a preference.

Problem is when he says blond and doesn't give any chance to any other, just because he likes blond.
(it's indicative of mental problems)

And she has the right to have "preferences" because in second case aren't preferences. And I have the right to search for a healthy relation based on love.

[HomoFuge]

I think it's because height is outside of a man's control. If no one wants to date you because you're fat that's something you can change through exercise and dieting. However, exercising and dieting won't suddenly add on extra inches to your height.

There is also this perception of short men being less masculine than tall men. Despite what feminism tries to say, a lot of women still value masculinity within men. So, a short guy has to work extra harder than a tall guy to prove to women that he isn't some feminine pansy.

All of these factors make short men feel frustrated and so they take their anger out on women.

[TheUniqueOne96]

I'm short AF, like about 5'2 and whilst I don't really care that much, I STRONGLY agree that people are entitled to have preferences, like a massive pet peeve of mine, is when people act as if they're better than someone, act as if they're wrong or try to make others feel bad, simply for having a preference, like everyone's different, get over it.

That being said, it does kind of suck for those that are affected by it, especially as it's not something they can control, so I definitely sympathise with them on that, but that's life and not everyone is considered attractive to everyone, but no one should be made to feel bad about having a taste.

[FriedPickles1218]

I actually completely agree with everything you said and I'm a short guy. It's just like how women think guys feel entitled to thin attractive women but it's not that we feel entitled, that's just what we find attractive.

So yes, no one is entitled to anyone but we are entitled to be attracted to or not attracted to whom ever we please.

[Киттйлинк]

Hmm well maybe because it’s something they can’t really do anything about... like a fat girl can lose weight but they can’t grow more lol it’s sad because it’s not like they chose to be short, but they shouldn’t be bitter as they too have preferences and there are plenty of women who date guys their own height and such instead of taller... and they too would probably put down a girl for having hairy body or some mother superficial thing.

We all have disadvantages but there will always be people who are attracted to you, you just have to find them... and maybe lower your standards a bit.

You in general not You asker lol

[SkyRez]

You mention all online commenting. The people commenting anything negative, with little to no context, and very sad, lonely, depressed folk. They really shouldn't be in your reference.

I know a ton of short guys, perfectly fine with it, and frankly, just as lucky as any other guy.

Basically: your observation is flawed by looking as a single demographic, that being anonymous folk online, who and sad and lonely enough to post obscene language on... whatever.

[Dongtai]

I just find the girls who don’t care. Why should I waste my time on the ones who do?

I don’t get offended. Everyone has their preferences right? I would never date a girl who was overweight. I just can’t do it. So if a woman doesn’t want me for my height, that’s fair but guess what? I can find one who does want me. So it evens out.

[lightbulb27]

because we are limited by nature of our design and means we can't win them, we feel inadequate.
One learns to accept oneself, make best of oneself... and most importantly... accept others as they are. there's great reward in working to win over a woman that doesn't care for me due to heigh, or salary or perception, but win over on some other attribute that she finds value in.
