I've perused a lot of dating sites before coming here, and the most noticeable thing that stuck out to me was the number of women who weren't interested in dating a man under 6' tall. I'd see their profile, where their height was listed as anything from 5'-0" to 5'-6", and they still wanted to date 6'-0" and taller! I understand that height is an attractive feature in a man, but it seems like these women are slamming the door on a very wide range of men, considering the national average for U.S. is 5'-9". I've dated a couple of taller women, and they acted like they couldn't wear high heels with me, and that was a big negative for them. I couldn't understand that...I'd wear whatever shoes I wanted to wear, so I don't see why they wouldn't, as well. Ultimately, our height differences weren't the issues in the relationship; once they got past my shorter stature, we had a great time together and we're still very close friends. So, ladies, tell me...why the height requirement? You know what I think is funny about this. What I am seeing is a lot of women saying they like what they like etc. Yea I am fine with that. The problem is when a guy puts something on his profile such as "girls over 145lbs need not apply then the tune changes. (not in all cases mind you) I mean its human I guess. When you are the one singling people out you don't mind but when you are singled out by someone even if you don't care about them at all you mind. |

I'd actually prefer the guy who has weight preferences to state it in their profile. We all have preferences. |

I mean I am only 5'8" so I know the whole height discrimination thing. My gf is 5'0" so I don't have to worry about that. XD |

Just as many men don't like when women say they want tall men. You can't expect everyone to be the same.
If someone is only into skinny women and has weight restrictions, I'd rather know, so I don't waste my time. |

Generally, women prefer men who are as tall or taller than themself. Yet when a man prefers a woman who isn't seriously over weight he's considered shallow. Some preferences seem to be more acceptable than others: especially by gender.
Oh, I read a news article on a guy who had bone extension surgery. The femur's are severed and a small metal device is used to hold them one to two millimeters apart. Over time the bones fill in the gap. He is, now, 6 inches taller. Says he does receive more attention from women. Yahoo news |

This thread being created shows that not all men are ok with women who have height preferences. So no, it isn't more accepted by all.

I restrict myself to 5'6" or shorter...generally. I've been out with 5.7 and 5.8 women before I shrunk 3/4" to 5'5.25". Fortunately a huge range of women are under 5'6". Just my preference.

Everyone has preferences. Some people say that they don't, but they do. Whether or not their open to the idea of getting past those preferences is entirely out of your control. If no one had any preferences at all, I don't think there would be this many single people in the world.

I think that in general, men are guilty of a reverse bias - most of them want a woman short enough to look down at - in her heels. I am realy tall - 6' and even a 6' tall man wants a woman who is about 5'6" only. Foolishly, I married a man only because he was 6'5" tall and I could look up at him while in his arms. It goes without saying we are no longer together. I dated shorter men but yes, there was always that inch or two missing, although looking around, even in Hollywood, it seems that taller girlfriends are "in", but I guess not for everyone.

being 5'4"ish does have its problems dating. I am Never going to be 6' nor would I want to be. Have dated taller but it is easier going shorter. I am athletic so bigger ladies arent my type.
So when I finally find a 5'1" 125lb happy supportive woman I will be able to get off line for good. |

I, first , ran into the "I want a guy taller and older than me" preference early in high school, then college and even after getting a job. To this day these two women's preferences are ones I avoid. I don't consider women taller than me at all. I have a mindset against women to much older than me: all for the same reason! I was conditioned, when younger, by women that If I was:
1. Shorter than 2. As tall as 3. The same age as 4. Younger than ... don't hold your breath. I'm sure women exist who were/are not like this. However, the majority were/are. Last summer I dated a woman who was 5 years older (and a civil engineer) than me and it seemed odd. But then she was born and grew up in Argentina and had slightly differing preferences than American women have. |
