I’m 5’4”. I like tall men and have dated shorter men. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked out on a date. Men just don’t approach me, even when I was young and in excellent shape. The men I ended up in a relationship with, I either met through work or in a group setting or I met them through friends. I’m talking about single men. The tallest was 6’6” loved his height. The shortest was 5’8” and his height didn’t matter because he carried himself with confidence..
Married men are a different situation. They didn’t seem intimidated by me. Maybe because their ego didn’t depend on a positive response from me. But then I want a man confident enough in himself to ask me out and be able to face the possibility of rejection. A man able to do that is worth a chance regardless of height.
I don’t agree that short women have it easier. I think it depends on the sense of vulnerability a woman gives off. I don’t exude vulnerability. I crushed that when I was a child because vulnerability in my case brought out the worst in people. I had to protect myself and I learned I could not rely on men to protect me.
First off..... I am REALLY tall (as in the top 1% in height)..
Having said that....
When I was in high school I dated a couple of tall girls. I just found them to be blah .... so I guess that influenced my thinking post high school and I dated shorter women throughout my twenties and early thirties before marrying.... Yep... a woman a foot and a half shorter than me (when challenged by my buds, I often joked that we could have "normal height kids....)
So my vote is shorter women have it easier in dating (of course....... 😀)
I like petite women but have seldom dated many. To be honest, I have never thought of as a woman's height as a factor for your question or anything. Who is more successful? I don't have a clue. I think taller might have a disadvantage in that only because some men might be shorter and it might bother one or both? The average height of women I've dated would be between 5'4" and 5'6". It wouldn't bother me if she was an inch or three taller. Personality and compatibility beat everything else out.
Honestly, I wonder why some women hate being called cute. I think it means different things to both men and women when used but my use, it's a compliment when i use that word. There is no derogatory tones with it. It would be very interesting to get your view on this word, if you would? Do you think most women do not like being called cute as well? .. @PetiteJulie01
@NowOk That’s what I heard. I mean I do feel bad for taller women because they get rejected but they refuse to date a short guy so it serves them right to be rejected by tall men.
@PetiteJulie01 i didn't say the women rejected the men. I said that maybe the men were just intimated about asking a taller woman out. Personally it makes no difference to me. Tall or short. It's how they act, their morals, their personalities. It takes much more than physical looks to create a good relationship
@darknessprevails I guess that’s why being short is a good thing for us ladies. Some taller women I know are mostly single or broken up with. I still wish I was taller with my 5’0” tiny ass.
Old fashion men and women don't want the same things. But more and more women think we care what they bring to the table. We don't we want someone faithful has not been on onlyfans or similar and doesn't bring drama to our lives.
@Wiseacre Well ya because you can’t pick up a tall women are throw her around. No wonder men prefer shorter women. Tall women will have to face the fact that men prefer short women. Those are the facts. Either date a short man or be single forever. Even short guys won’t date tall women.
@MrBrownstone We’ll I don’t agree with what he said about taller women being beastly and masculine. That’s kind of harsh but it is a fact that most guy us prefer short women and I guess I’m very lucky. No wonder most tall women hate being tall. Guys don’t want them. I mean can you blame them? They should just date short guys or stay single.
I have usually dated women 5 foot 7 and above, because I am over 6 feet. Nothing wrong with your height at all. Dynamite comes in small packages, in my opinion
@PetiteJulie01 I think that's it's ingrained in our DNA. Men are hard wired to be protectors. Socially, there is an expectation of the man to be taller. In my family are some very tall women. Some well over 6 foot...dating for them wasn't easy.
