Of course. I am tall, but also hairy. Some women were not into it and I didn't waste my time with them. Nothing against them, but that was their preference. I found a woman that loves it and I have been with her for almost 25 years.

by ImplementMiserable 7 months ago

He doesn't want to be judged on his appearance (height) but happily judges others for theirs. Being decent looking and short are things your born with. Sure you can wear makeup and platform shoes, but at its core, it is a double standard for him to have

I disagree, it's common knowledge that on average short women and even women in general prefer a tall man. The average women will yell you they prefer a guys to be minimum 6 ft tall and often it's more like minimum 6'2 they will say,

by Marcelinowalter 7 months ago

personally, I would very much prefer a man my height over someone that's over 6'. it's just way too tall, I'd like to feel like an equal adult next to my partner and not like a toddler.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

Sabrina Carpenter could have her choice of many men and she chose a guy that's 5'7". Agree that some women definitely prefer someone closer to their height or average height.

by beulah38 7 months ago

Do you think the more celebrities that date short men that women would change their preferences? Genuine question.

by Leading_Can 7 months ago

Personally, yes. I think powerful women choosing shorter men def makes it more socially acceptable for other women to date shorter men.

by beulah38 7 months ago

Same, my spouse and I are the same height and it's great! Our house has some locations where tall people would have to duck, but being 5-3 ish, we don't have to worry, but we probably wouldn't have bought it if he were taller, cause that would be a annoying every day. Any hugs or cuddles, I don't feel suffocated. Idk, I don't get the attraction to really tall guys, I don't want to always have to look up to meet their eyes.

Because you see yourself as a toddler next to someone purely based on height, are you sure you're ready to date?

by Nicolarunolfsso 7 months ago

are you capable of not being unnecessarily condescending? I don't see what exactly is immature about wanting a partner who you're equals with, in one way or another. I don't like it when people tower over me. but if I said I would exclusively date men over 6', with the sort of picture you're painting of yourself, I'm quite sure you would call me shallow and immature either way. doesn't seem like this conversation is worth my time.

do u really not understand that "I feel like a toddler" is just a way of saying "I feel very small which I don't enjoy" it's like how you can talk to someone in a way that "makes them feel like a kid", they don't all of a sudden genuinely feel like a child

by Anonymous 7 months ago

Common knowledge according to who? Statistics? The things that could be manipulated with just the right sample size and people? Those things? I don't care what height my partner is as long as he isn't 5 feet tall because then I feel like I'm dating a child for the same type of reasons op mentioned. But I'm also a taller woman.

This is probably unpopular, but it makes sense to me. I am 6'2" and I dated a 5'2" woman once. This mismatch wasn't a big deal to us, but she was always looking up and I was always looking down. I can see why some people would not enjoy that experience, especially if they were used to dating men more their height.

by shaniaschuppe 7 months ago

there's a delicious irony in the fact that most guys who complain about this will then turn around and never date a woman taller than them. and like, I get it, it sucks, I'm 5'8 and dating a girl who was 4'11 made me feel like a king. But the whole "save the short girls for the rest of us" logic is so misogynistic

by Anonymous 7 months ago

I agree, it looks strange. But, people can't help what they like, although I don't think it's exactly innate. Not to get political, but there might be cultural standards for men and women that play a role (ie: Men need to protect, women need protected). My bf is 5'6 btw and my two exes were around 5'7 and 5'8.

by AsleepOriginal 7 months ago

As a 5'6 guy, almost all the woman I've dated have been taller than me (around 5'7) except for my first girlfriend who was 5'2. I'm from a Nordic country so women my age are kinda taller than average here. I've gotten used to it that I never really limited myself by height, I've had some way taller women show interest in me too, I think it's cause I act very chill about it.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

As a short guy I've been able to find women who think like you, and it's pretty excellent.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

I kind of feel this. I haven't been with anyone super tall, but the other day at my job there was a friend group of three men that were all tall to the point I had to look up at them. It made me feel awkward and uncomfortable for some reason. Idk. I didn't even make eye contact with them because I already felt weird about looking up at them lol

by Fredy49 7 months ago

Definitely makes sense. My partner is very similar to me in height (they're an inch or two shorter than me) and the height is perfect imo, it always feels like we're on the perfect level for hugs and stuff, hand holding as we walk, etc

by AsleepOriginal 7 months ago

Happily married barely above average height guy. I realized long ago that short women often had weird overcompensating attitudes to height, and I was better off seeking above average to tall women. I can't speak for you, but most petite women I know REALLY prefer bigger guys.

The height difference sucks but as a short woman, the only short man i trust to not punish short women for their being short is my dad. To me, short men are more likely to be abusive and seeing you as a fellow height deprived, just triggers them.

I'm pretty sure the "tall guy" thing is based on the preference of women who are at least average height so kinda makes sense. The real question is, are guys who are shorter than YOU more or less attractive to you?

I guess that would depend on the rest of the guy now, wouldn't it? Unless OP is only attracted to shortness.

I mean, I don't think this is very unpopular, it's just a matter of preferences. I'm 5'1 and I prefer slightly taller guys, but it's not a priority. My husband is 6' and I love it, but the only other man I dated before was 5'7 and I didn't mind at all. I think it would've become a deal breaker only if they were very close to my height or way too tall.

It's a matter of perspective. For a 5'7 woman, a 5'11 guy will usually not be too tall. For a 5'11 woman, a 6'2 guy will usually not be too tall and so on.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

I've wondered about this actually. I'm 5'8, tallish for a woman, and I've wondered why someone much shorter than I am would want someone much taller than I am. I mean I get it, you feel protected or whatever, but surely that's achieved by someone 5 inches taller, you don't need someone a foot taller, right? (My husband of 20 yrs is 5'11, it's not a game I'm participating in anymore, but I did muse about it when I was younger)

by SwimmerPerfect5352 7 months ago

It's true that not all short women prefer very tall men. There is such a thing as "too tall" for many of us. I have a preferred height range but it's not a strong requirement. And it's not 6 feet tall. It's not necessarily an unpopular opinion among women, it's only unpopular for men, who are the same people who are mad when women have preferences. They want to be able to hate on women for being shallow because it otherwise reminds them that they actually have to work on their personality to be chosen.

At first glance, couples with large height differences often do look like father and daughter to me, until taking a closer look. As an average height dude, anyone shorter than ~5'2" would be too short for me to feel comfortable dating.

I'm 5'3 AFAB and have gone out with/been attracted to guys shorter than me, same height, and much taller than me. They all have their pros and cons.

I'm a 5'3 woman. My partner is a 5'4 man. He's fully converted me to team short king. We share clothes cause we wear the same size and style. Holding hands, dancing, kissing, is all more comfortable when the other person is closer in height to me. Cuddling works better too. I'm fine with people of all heights but honestly I love dating someone who's really short. Only real downside is that we want kids and they have no shot at breaking 5'5 with our genes lol

Well, the title is misleading. Just more of the same. OP is attracted to taller men. Meaning men taller than her. She just has a strict cutoff. Shorter than average men and taller than average women are in the same primal instinct boat. Getting the short and tall end of the stick. It has to do with nature being vicious with size being an advantage and us being animals that delude ourselves into thinking we are not.

by Ambitious-Youth 7 months ago

I said "tall men" that isn't misleading when most men are taller than women, especially taller than 5'2.

by AsleepOriginal 7 months ago

there is a huge difference between objectively tall and tall in relation to something else. to a 4'9 woman a 5'6 man will be tall but objectively, 5'6 is on the shorter side for a man. so no, the title isn't misleading at all, she's saying she's just not into objectively tall men.

I have met barely any men my height, so yes that would be strange for me, and it's quite rare anyways, but technically anything around 5'7-5'8 and under is short for a man. Every single person on this earth has their preferences, men have plenty too. The title is still accurate regardless.
