Do men prefer women not to be tall even if they're 5'9" plus themselves?

[SoleBizzz]

I am 5'11" and have received lots of the usual comments aswell as it's difficult to attract a man when you're so tall comments too.

assggy oh no. Try not to be nasty.

I think men (in general, not all men etc etc) prefer women to be shorter than them. Most women prefer to date men taller than them. 🤷

Please don't slag off short women.

Was talking about her. I just been violent becuase I'm tall and must know how to punch someone. No sense here now.

Short Women always mention it. Must be awful being short.

No, it’s actually rather nice. And my 6ft 2 DH rather likes it too.

To be fair, you sound like a monumental cock so if you want to put it down to your height then feel free but I’m pretty sure it ‘ain’t. 😂

I thought the same Star but wasnt brave enough to say it 😂

Yeahhh no its actually nice being short. Have never not attracted men based on my height but maybe its also because im not a complete dick.

I'm 5ft 3 and have never lacked for male attention when I wanted it. DH is 6ft 1 and it certainly doesn't bother him.

Men really don't have a strong preference for tall women in the way that women so commonly prefer tall men.

@LizzieSiddal 😂😂😂 👍🏻

@SoleBizzz clearly your friend was jealous that you're tall and tried to cut you down to bolster her own self esteem. Tall is gorgeous, why do you think models (and I mean proper models) need to be tall?

I'm 5'9 and once dated a guy who had a thing for tall girls, like the long haired blonde Victoria's secret types. He actually said I was one of the shorter girls he's dated

He was about 6 foot himself but said he thinks it's because all the women in his family are short and dark - I think it's just a case of something different.

Also tall women are more likely to be slim (from what I've seen).

My DP is shorter than me, but so handsome I couldn't care less

You're worrying far too much about what men 'think', really.

My son is 6ft 6 and his girlfriend is 5ft 2". I was teasing him recently about why he preferred smaller women as at 5ft 9 I had always longed to be wooed by someone of his height - best I got was 6ft 2 and now settled for 5ft 11! He said he likes feeling protective of her and loves than he can just pick her up and carry her

I know I'm short, but I don't think of myself as being short, if you know what I mean. I'm just me.

I don't tend to notice if other people are short or tall, they're either at my eye level, or I'm eye level with their belly button, which I'm used to so I know how to deal with it.

Please don't tar all short women with the same brush, there are short women who are insecure spiteful bitches, and there are also tall women who are insecure spiteful bitches. Their height is neither causation nor correlation to how much of an insecure spiteful bitch they are.

5'10 and hardly any attention from men. I've been single for over 10 years now with zero interest whatsoever.

6’ here and never had an issue. If a man was insecure enough for it to bother him I wouldn’t have been interested anyway as innate confidence is something I find attractive.

I hope you can maybe try & see the irony of being nasty and generalising about other women based on their height, it’s unnecessary and ridiculous. There are no personality traits which you can attribute based on height & the vitriol isn’t doing you any favours!

Why does a man not liking women being taller then instantly equate to them being insecure? I don’t like short men, I’m not insecure about my height.

Reverse sexism Starbuck!

Fine for a woman not to want a short man, but if a woman is too tall he must be insecure

Saying that as a tall gal with shorter fiancee!

Personally I would rather a short handsome man than a tall ugly one, but that's just me! All the guys I dated before ranged from 6 foot to 6'6 but somehow didnt seem as 'manly' as my fiance, in my experience taller men tend to be skinnier whereas I'm an arms/shoulders girl.

Agreed.
I’m 5”3 and my husband is 6”3. I’ve always gone for taller guys. I must like the gangly look 😂

People can’t ever like what they like without it having an insidious agenda

"assggy oh no. Try not to be nasty"

Have you read your own posts on this thread?

OP since most of your comments are generally derogatory towards short women maybe the problem is not your height but the fact you're a complete bitch?

And yes, I am short. And no, I've never had trouble getting attention from men. In my experience men are not generally that fussy...

I think the fact that you’re a evidently a rather unpleasant person is more likely to be a factor in attraction than your height.

I’d prefer to be short and dumpy than an arsehole 🤷‍♀️

OP since most of your comments are generally derogatory towards short women maybe the problem is not your height but the fact you're a complete bitch?

A little harsh but otherwise I completely agree. And I'm saying that as a 6ft woman with a 5'10'' husband.

I too have never had trouble getting attention from men. I've found men are attracted to confidence above anything else.

OP, you're 'friend' is a nasty person who just so happens to be a little vertically challenged. That doesn't mean every shorter woman than you is nasty. There's no need to be so derogatory.

I’m 5’ 4 (and a half! ) and DH is 6’ 3.

I asked years ago if would prefer someone taller and he said he likes my height. It just comes down to personal preference.

Oh, and I’m short and dumpy - it’s not that bad 🙃

I think it depends on the person . I am 5ft 3 and I prefer shorter men as dnt like looking up all the time haha.I know some men who like taller women and some who stipulate shorter girls only .
