Be honest; if you’re a tall woman do you consider yourself superior to shorter women?

[Eyelinerofthetigers]

I know a few tall women who refer to shorter women as things like ‘short arses’ and I’ve seen the same thing said by taller women on the Style and Beauty boards here, too.

I’m 5ft 4, so am short myself, and have had derogatory comments made to me in the past by a few tall females. Yet I’d never dream of calling them an insulting name about being tall, or even really comment on their height at all.

I'm 5.10 and had nothing but positive experiences from being tall.

I own it, am confident and hold myself well. Pretty good figure which helps.

Turn heads.

I dont get the obsession with a few (mainly on here, not in real life) to try and present tall women as unattractive.

I am seen as attractive as a tall woman. I also know that average sized women can be attractive, as cam very short women.

Just own what you've got.

I think it says it all about how a few men and women try to tear down tall women.

The reality is it can be a plus on the attractiveness front.

People aren’t tearing anyone down by having a preference for the opposite.
Everyone has a preference, it’s not offensive to personally find petite woman more attractive.

Perhaps you are only attracted to men with beards and that’s fine but it’s not tearing down a man who doesn’t have one to say you don’t find them attractive or to your personal taste.

Saying tall women are 'masculine and unattractive' is a far cry from a preference of small women. But don't worry, at 5'10 my size 5 feet and 30f chest mean that while people worry I'll blow over in any more than a slight breeze they never think I'm masculine. We get it you find tall women a threat to your fragile masculinity.

🙄

I’m quite tall and would never look down on a shorter lady.
However, my DH is 6’4 and personally, I never was attracted to any male shorter than me.

Agree - this is why men often don't belong on MN. We ladies are not dying to know what men think - hint was in the title!
I'm 5ft 9in - I often feel like a giant if I'm with my dh's sisters, who are 4ft 11in. But I would never call them short asses - well I might in jest if they insulted my height but if we're all behaving ourselves, why would I care? And my height has no bearing on my femininity - I feel strong and confident - if that's not perceived as feminine, that's a you problem.

I’m tall. And no I don’t at all.

Im 5'9 and not attrated to men. 😂
Don't care about womens heights, and don't really notice unless theyre taller than me, which just prompts an "ooh someone taller than me, cool!"

But my post had nothing about those who prefer shorter women, silly.

It was about how I've always found my height a plus.

And I said that shorter, average and taller women are attractive.

You seem obsessed with getting the last word about how you find shorter women attractive! Good for you.

Just saying I've often found the opposite, as a taller lady. Not sure why that even evokes a response from you.

Im 5 foot 3 and I shit you not I've had people obsessed with my height

That's akin to being obsessed with brown hair. Surely not the same experience as it can be for tall or short women.

Really? Why?

The height of myself and other women is literally something I never ever think about.

I was called an F'ing lampost at 5' 8" in my teens and was taller than my female contemporaries in Scotland the 1960's. That wasn't much fun either....

Who cares about models? We' re talking about everyday life here.. Maybe those models find it tough in their everyday life.

You said tall women were masculine and unattractive or words to that effect. Unattractive ok that's your choice. Beards are masculine because beards are a result of male sex hormones. Tall height in women isn't. So not masculine.

Who cares what some random men think? I cannot even bother to argue with them, they don’t matter.

I’m 5’7, love my height and long limbs, and don’t look down on shorter women (mentally, obviously I do physically - cannot help it); I don’t think about their height to that extent.

I’m hot stuff btw and that’s not a comment for the men.

@Illegally18 think about it...

I am 5.2" and once a tall woman patted my head. But she was an asshole.

Im 5’7in tall and would never even think of, let alone say, a derogatory remark based on some ones height or other natural characteristic. I hope those that do are very much in the minority. I certainly don’t see myself as superior.
