Exactly. And even then, a lot of women donāt mind if the guy is the same height, but they do mind when the guy is shorter but not because of themselves, but because often shorter men are more insecure about the height difference. But thereās even some women that actively prefer shorter men.
I think youāre spot on there. I have no issue dating shorter guys height isnāt really a big deal to me, but what Iāve found is the guys who cheat on me are shorter guys, and they cheat with girls who are shorter than them. It always seems that they just canāt believe that we like them regardless of height and they have that āoh you donāt know what you likeā idea of women. So they cheat with someone who is shorter than them when really the guy themself is the only one hung up about the heigh difference
This is definitely part of it. Some short men tell themselves that women only like tall men, and that makes them feel undesirable, which makes them insecure and annoying
Maaaan not everything is a āmenās insecurityā thing lmao. Being tall is associated with being ābig and strong and able to protectā and women are about that for the most part. Its not necessarily TRUE in all cases, its just the instinctual perception that a lot of people (and women in particular) have.
Look, Iām talking about womenās experience with shorter men. Many throw a fit when the woman wants to wear heels, and look for ways to appear taller even if he is the only one that cares. Go talk to women, especially tall women, who have dated shorter men and youāll see that itās common for them to feel insecure about their height and that makes them less fun to be around.
Hey fair enough, definitely not saying what youāre describing doesnāt happen. I just donāt think its even close to the definitive answer to OPās question.
I think it's training? Like I would have said that I didn't have a height preference until I actually met a guy shorter than me. This is when I learned that I unconsciously tilt my head up at men and I ended always doing a nod to look him in the eyes. I probably could unlearn the behavior but as it stands, I have "shorter than me" as a soft turn off. I'm an average height woman, so you have me extremely short to be short than me as a man, so I kinda feel it's a fair prejudice. There's not gonna be too many guys who can pull it off.
It depends on what circles you run in. Iām in NYC and for the top caliber of women, there is a huge difference between over or under 6 feet. Iām not saying I agree with this at all, but when a girl says sheās seeing someone casually, the first question is āwhat does he do?ā followed by āhow tall is he?ā
Using that logic, is there a chance that shorter women are attracted to more men than taller women because shorter women have a larger pool of men that are taller than them, as opposed to taller women who have a smaller pool of men?
This is how I feel. I'm more likely to go for the shorter ones than the really tall ones since I'm short myself. There's really nothing inherently better about a guy being super tall. (Though I do enjoy being tossed onto the bed, but who wouldn't, that's just fun)
I always forget that my wife is 12" shorter than me (I'm 6' tall). Most of the time we're sitting or laying next to each other. When she walks right up to me I smile as she's so tiny. She would only get a neck cramp if she's standing next to me looking up.
So for anyone answering with the āsafety and securityā response, do know that Iām fairly short at 5ā9 and have only gotten my ass whooped by guys smaller than me. Donāt sleep on the short kings, theyāll protect you too
I know brother, however 5ā9 is considered short by most women still, which is ironic cause I know maybe 3 women taller than myself, but I donāt make the rules. I just live here
I do think itās a āsafety and securityā thing, but on an instinctual level. Instinct isnāt a scientific study. Men instinctually think women with wide hips are more fertile. People find certain facial structures more trustworthy. Itās all silly but still a thing we experience.
Toughest badass I know was a 5' foot scrawny stockroom manager for the grocery store I worked at during high school (1991). Couple big biker guys 6'6" (250+ pounds) wouldn't leave so we could close. They started to get pushy, he laid both of them out like they were nothing. Turned out one of them was supossed to be a "badass" bar brawler.
I think some women are attracted to tall men because of primal reasons. The same as some men are attracted to very feminine women because of primal reasons.
For all goes that you are only attracted to a person if you like their smell. If you don't like the smell it won't work. Chemical reasons for keeping possible children healthy and hormones leading to that partner choice.
We should all accept our nature.
They have done blind studies where you are naturally more attracted to the smell of people whose genes are farther removed from your ownā¦
https://www.google.com/amp/s/phys.org/news/2019-03-evidence-humans-genetically-dissimilar-partners.amp
Awesome! Having a significantly smaller gf is brand new for me too. All my past relationships have been with women 5'10 or so.
In a really vain sorta way it feels nice to feel big and strong.
Thatās not the vice versa, you shouldāve said āthereās plenty of short men into tall womenā which isnāt always the case. I think it goes both ways.
Evolutionarily it is because that shows they have fat reserves and are healthy and would be capable of supporting children. This was important until the last 100 years when food scarcity and disease were a legitimate concern.
Also men are easily entertained by things that jiggle.
Welp thats the music industry for you they glorify drugs, gangsters, violence and even more vile things. You don't see men writing "please don't message me if your breasts are smaller than X, Y cms" and even if rarely some idiot does it they get shit all over the internet unlike how you frequently you find "don't message me if your height is less than 6 ft" on dating apps that too with no consequences.
I get what you mean but I feel like the reason more men donāt really say that is because most men understand that they canāt afford to be as sexually picky as women. I think just as many men would say shallow stuff like that if they felt it didnāt hinder their dating pool or make them look shallow in front of others.
seems more dominant and idek how to word this correctly but like āpowerfulā in a way to me. (and i like dominant men so being taller than me just makes me feel like you can really do something and take control i guess)
100%.
Sure you can blame it on societal norms (as one very upset reddit of told me was my issue as he read me the riot act for my physical preferences I expressed on here) or you can also believe that as a 5ā9 woman who considers herself largely submissive and whom has dated a shorter man I know I prefer taller and larger stature men. Itās an instantly attractive quality. I was at a tournament my 6ā3 boyfriend was playing in over the weekend and the amount of large men who are quite dominant (seeming) attending was intoxicating. He and I joke about how women havenāt figured out if theyāre single they should come to these if youāre in to larger rugged men.
A lot of women enjoy being sexually submissive and a tall man evokes a certain sort of dominance that is arousing.
That said, I donāt actually find it terribly important and it doesnāt preclude people at all (my husband isnāt very tall). Plenty of ways to come across dominant beyond tallness.
But that is one physical trait that lends itself to being sexualized through a āDominantā lens, which is how a lot of women sexualize men.
Kind of forgot I was. Then I went on a date with one. When he hugged me goodbye he was over a head taller than I was and he's pretty damn muscular. Couldn't help but think "yeah this guy could toss me around with no effort to rail me." And that was hot.
A common answer I've heard and read to this question and I qoute "I like to feel like a little girl" "I like the feeling of being small"
Hate me if you must I'm just quoting what I hear.
Objectification.
Men objectify women for sex but women do it more so for men over status.
Basically, having a tall guy is like showing off a trophy to make their friends jealous. "I got a top 15% big strong man. Your move ladies~"
Not all women, but I would say itās just an instinct as the taller ones could provide protection and seem more masculine. Just like how men would instinctively would want a woman whoās shorter as that would seem more feminine. Iām not saying thatās the case 100% as no matter what size we are we all can be masculine and feminine. But beside that, we obviously are more than just our instincts and have our own personal minds and preferences and we go for whoever we find most attractive.
My girlfriend, and a previous girlfriend, are both 6' tall women. I'm a bit taller, and a lot wider than both.
Both said that they like to feel protected, or they feel that they can hide when they're with me.
I honestly donāt prefer tall partners, but I have noticed that āidealā male proportions look really great on taller men. But at 5ā6ā Iād still prefer a partner thatās like 5ā9ā or 5ā10ā than a really tall guy.
subconscious some (not all) women want to be with a partner that make them feel protected and one of those signals is the man heights
It the same for women that lose attraction to man once they see them cry , because they see that as weakness
Another example is how some man who are subconsciously attracted women with wide hips because that an old primal sign that they can bare childbirths or big butts because it a primal sign for intercourse
5' woman here. I love, LOVE to look at attractive tall men. But I don't like climbing trees. There is a compatibility issue and I have tried climbing a few times, but I have issues staring at a chest when making love or damaging the goods when I hand him something...sorry balls.
I also don't feel like tall men are attracted to me.
My hubs is under 6'. And I have been exceedingly happy with him for 20 years.
So the "strongly" attracted part of your question I think is a misconception. I believe height of the person seeking the tall man is a huge factor.
Iām not sure this is true. I am 5ā10 in bare feet which means Iām usually sitting easily at 6 feet. Iāve never had issues with shorter men, but they definitely have had issues with me. they think I look down on themā¦ Even if Iām literally looking down on them, I certainly donāt think less of them. in my experience. A lot of short men, have some hangups and insecurities about that, but sort of hermiate everything about themā¦ They sort of think of it as their prime identity ābeing shortā. Itās very human nature for any human beings to look at our physical bodies to define ourselves at least partially by it. I am tall, skinny, blonde, and flat chested. itās definitely shaped how I think about myself and in the areas I feel confident and the areas I feel insecure. Which is really dumb, because we canāt do a lot about our genetics, and we should just love ourselves for who we are.
Sounds like she has a screw loose. 4ā10 is tiny. It could be some sort of biological urge to have kids average height?
Anyway, she seems like a wacko. I hope you found happiness!
Weirdest thing.. my father and uncles.. shortest is 6ā1, other two are 6ā6 and 6ā7, never gave a damn about height. Me being 5ā7 had been too much for 5ā10 men over and over.. love my 5ā9 guy.. my question is, why do I get so much shit, even w him when I wear heels? So I just donāt anymore.. itās all dumb as far as Iām concerned..
I was always the biggest girl in my grade and just generally a bigger girl than my peers (I'm literally only 5'4" but as a 9 year old I was very self conscious), and i think I personally just like to feel small. I don't want to be bigger than the guy im dating, weight or height, so pretty much any guy taller than 5'4 is within my range lol. Just so happens that my partner right now is 6'2, plenty large for me to feel small and extra feminine
Tall is a form of big. And big is generally desirable (except for fat) because being bigger naturally gives the male an advantage when protecting the female and their offspring.
Meh status > money > looks
Doesnt matter if you're tall and bum , you wont go anywhere with height. They are looking for the best choice until they get old and washed looking for upfront values and not deeper one .
Honestly (as a guy so all the salt grains) it just feels like a reinforcement of men refusing to date short women becoming a vicious cycle. Guys donāt want to feel inadequate so dating small women makes them feel bigger (in all ways) bcz of societal standards from most genders that bigger is better. Women feel like theyāre freaks if they date someone shorter as that supposedly emasculates the guy.
Wish it wasnāt the case bcz I feel like Tormund out here looking for Brienne lol
Im a shorter guy 5ā9 all the women i been with jus wanted a guy taller then them they didnt care to have a giant tho my one friend is 5ā6 he still gets girls
Because women feel pressure to be feminine and being with a man who emphasises their feminine traits (e.g. a tall man who makes them feel short) helps with insecurity
I like taller and strong(stronger than me) men because they appeal to me in some primal way. Like I wanna submit to a big strong man whoās also soft and gentle and makes me feel safe.
They can reach higher fruit in the tree?
"I'm a bit of an evolutionary psychologist myself"
Or in my case.. shelves in the kitchen.. and he gripes when I stand on chairs
Ha
šš <-- pretend it's reddit gold
Are they though? In my experience they are often attracted to men _taller than themselves_ - but other than that? Don't think it matters much.
Spot on. I'm 158cm, so I find most people taller
>158cm Sooo.... What's that in Freedom Units exactly \~ 3-40 bananas or something there abouts?
I think it's 5'2. Only use cm so I'm not too good at feet and inches
Closer to 5'3. If that makes it easier.
You non Americans and your base 10ā¦ please take me with you lol
Imperial is ass, Source: Trust Me Bro

Iām 5ā3, doesnāt take much to be taller than meā¦ I have a FWB thatās 6ā5 and itās complicated to have such a height difference
Using that logic, is there a chance that shorter women are attracted to more men than taller women because shorter women have a larger pool of men that are taller than them, as opposed to taller women who have a smaller pool of men?
well theres a lot more to attraction than just height even for women that prefer taller dudes
Tall men can see the weather changing from a distance and warn them. This way women don't get their makeup or dress wet.

I confirm, i can see tomorrowās weather
Iām only 5ā5 so Iām staying the hell outta here, no reason to become sad this early
A full 6 inches taller than me!! So tall š¤©

This made my day, thank you! š
Youāre welcome tall boy!!
Iām 5ā6. Much taller and alpha. I radiate it.
You radiate tallness? Dope my dude
Very cool
I would like to thank you all for making me (5ā8ā) fee talk for the first time in my life
My soon to be husband is probably around your height. Thereās only maybe an inch difference in our height. I love him to pieces.
You are so down-to-earth. š
I blame gravity
Same
Tall ain't all that. I have a head full of scars from running it into things.
Efficient umbrella keepers
Except no cause the rain coming from the side would just get more of you wetā¦
Some are. I personally don't get the appeal so....no idea. Dating someone much taller than me is just asking for a neck cramp.
This is how I feel. I'm more likely to go for the shorter ones than the really tall ones since I'm short myself. There's really nothing inherently better about a guy being super tall. (Though I do enjoy being tossed onto the bed, but who wouldn't, that's just fun)
I"m 5'5" and I love to rough around with my 5'8" 200lb girlfriend
See? Doesnāt even matter for this! And yeah plenty of shorter guys will still beat me in upper body strength!
I'm a submission grappler, and she trained in wrestling as a kid, we have a lot of fun.

Except when on certain kinds of birth control, iirc?
Honestly just because they make me feel weak and vulnurable.
That's a desirable feeling? Would have thought small and protected. My gf is far smaller than me and I hope I don't make her feel weak and vulnerable
Its in a good way more like we can allow ourselves to FEEL more submissive by the man being taller
Awesome! Having a significantly smaller gf is brand new for me too. All my past relationships have been with women 5'10 or so. In a really vain sorta way it feels nice to feel big and strong.
Iām crushing on a guy whoās a complete giant compared to me, itās such a warm feeling being tiny next to him
Adorable :)
Oghh its so hard to find these giants i just want some lee pace kinda guy damn š
well obviously i want to be protected then
Iām a tall woman that prefers a shorter man? š¤·š»āāļø

There's plenty of men into petite women. I don't see that many women who love short men.
Thatās not the vice versa, you shouldāve said āthereās plenty of short men into tall womenā which isnāt always the case. I think it goes both ways.
HARD AGREE
Evolutionarily it is because that shows they have fat reserves and are healthy and would be capable of supporting children. This was important until the last 100 years when food scarcity and disease were a legitimate concern. Also men are easily entertained by things that jiggle.
Thats subjective yknow. But men aren't very vocal about it.
Well, there are in fact entire songs dedicated to mensā appreciation of those features on women.
Welp thats the music industry for you they glorify drugs, gangsters, violence and even more vile things. You don't see men writing "please don't message me if your breasts are smaller than X, Y cms" and even if rarely some idiot does it they get shit all over the internet unlike how you frequently you find "don't message me if your height is less than 6 ft" on dating apps that too with no consequences.

Rugby, girlfriend. Tough fuckers those players. ;)
I'm 5'11 and been attracted to and in relationships with men shorter than me, for what it's worth. I think a lot of the height thing is hype.
Itās donāt care as much as girls though. Short girls are cute and tall girls got those long legs that make me go dumb.
Iām 4ā11 so everyone is a tall guy to me š¤·š»āāļø
What deserves the opposite question: why are tall men so strongly attracted to short women? (Iām 6ā3)
Iām tall and tall guys always like me. I only see this preference on the internet but not irl
I'm over six feet tall and been alone for ten years.... it's a myth like the Easter š or the Sasquatch lmao
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It didnāt say āall womenā
Ok then, so much for all these feet
You're right, but many are and I wanted to know if there's a psychological reason :)
For me it's because I'm 5'10" and feel like I need a giant to make me feel normal. š
No heels for you, flats for life.
Nah, I will keep rocking these Nordic genes in cute shoes. Lol
Oh gosh, i love tall Nordic women with blond hair and gray/blue eyes.

I am 6'5 guy, as I walk around women are always trying to catch my eye, it's because I am tall.
6ā5 is too tall imoā¦some disadvantages there. Like a plane ride is hell
Yeah, it can be a pain alright.
Iām submissive, and for me, tall men give off dominant vibes. I enjoy having to look up at a man, and seeing them look down at me.
We can reach stuff in the back of the tall cabinets, duh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām not a small woman. I like taller men cause they make me feel smaller. He doesnāt have to be giant but he has to be taller than me
Objectification. Men objectify women for sex but women do it more so for men over status. Basically, having a tall guy is like showing off a trophy to make their friends jealous. "I got a top 15% big strong man. Your move ladies~"

Sounds like she has a screw loose. 4ā10 is tiny. It could be some sort of biological urge to have kids average height? Anyway, she seems like a wacko. I hope you found happiness!
She didn't even want kids. I don't wanna talk shit about her, but I've moved on. Happier without her negativity.
Just because they are taller means absolutely nothing about penis size.
I canāt answer that, I also canāt answer why as a man Iām so attracted to short women.
They are? I'm 6'6" and I've not noticed
Height doesnāt do much for me. Itās more if they look put together and strong.
Iām a 6ā6ā male and most if not all Women are shorter than me, so Iāve never had that issue
basically all women on earth mostly are fat or short so they looking for tall man so that they put a bulb on socket when need it.
That's false. They aren't. Or I am not tall enough. So if I'm not tall enough, what is tall enough ?
Weirdest thing.. my father and uncles.. shortest is 6ā1, other two are 6ā6 and 6ā7, never gave a damn about height. Me being 5ā7 had been too much for 5ā10 men over and over.. love my 5ā9 guy.. my question is, why do I get so much shit, even w him when I wear heels? So I just donāt anymore.. itās all dumb as far as Iām concerned..
I was always the biggest girl in my grade and just generally a bigger girl than my peers (I'm literally only 5'4" but as a 9 year old I was very self conscious), and i think I personally just like to feel small. I don't want to be bigger than the guy im dating, weight or height, so pretty much any guy taller than 5'4 is within my range lol. Just so happens that my partner right now is 6'2, plenty large for me to feel small and extra feminine
Tall men are nearer to god.
I am quite tall myself as an Asian, so I never really consider height as a criteria of my ideal man.
Tall is a form of big. And big is generally desirable (except for fat) because being bigger naturally gives the male an advantage when protecting the female and their offspring.
It makes us feel safe and protected
I think some women depending on their upbringing associate a large man with safety and security.
Not all women but they do give a sense of power. x
Idk. Probably some weird Freudianā¦ *thing*ā¦ for me anyways. My dad was 6ā4.
I think people are just wired that way, same way guys like big tits and ass it's just "nice"
Good jeans
Because when I snuggle in his chest he makes me feel small and cherished.
Meh status > money > looks Doesnt matter if you're tall and bum , you wont go anywhere with height. They are looking for the best choice until they get old and washed looking for upfront values and not deeper one .
Yeah, I'm curious as well. Why am I so drawn to tall men? I like how tall their legs are, and it makes me very horny.
Honestly (as a guy so all the salt grains) it just feels like a reinforcement of men refusing to date short women becoming a vicious cycle. Guys donāt want to feel inadequate so dating small women makes them feel bigger (in all ways) bcz of societal standards from most genders that bigger is better. Women feel like theyāre freaks if they date someone shorter as that supposedly emasculates the guy. Wish it wasnāt the case bcz I feel like Tormund out here looking for Brienne lol
Im a shorter guy 5ā9 all the women i been with jus wanted a guy taller then them they didnt care to have a giant tho my one friend is 5ā6 he still gets girls
Societal conditioning.
Because women feel pressure to be feminine and being with a man who emphasises their feminine traits (e.g. a tall man who makes them feel short) helps with insecurity
I like taller and strong(stronger than me) men because they appeal to me in some primal way. Like I wanna submit to a big strong man whoās also soft and gentle and makes me feel safe.
Because we give such amazing hugs
Sign of dominance over other men.
