Pretty curious. It's not a problem with me. I've heard many woman say, "I can't date a guy shorter than me" What's the reason? Is it that you guys would feel dominate if you were taller than the guy?

Since I am only 5 ft and if I really stretch I can get another inch out of me lol..
I have no worries as long as I can wear my heels when I want to...

I do like my man to be taller than I am because when I go out I do enjoy spike heels... rofl

Some chicks dig midgets.

Best of luck.

umm he is 6 2

It is sexual attraction & preference & breeding instinct. At least it was for me. All my men were 6ft to 6-6.

I loved me some silver back gorillas.

SitkaRains,

Since I am only 5 ft and if I really stretch I can get another inch out of me lol..

I took all the legs off my furniture.
Except for one giant recliner.... for guests.

Good question :-)
Atavism aside, the bigger the hunter, the bigger the kill,
when we actually think about it, there is NO good reason.

Yes, I like 'em tall :-)

Because I am 5'8 and love heels I do prefer taller men...I have dated a lot of men shorter than me and honestly it was a problem...not meaning to offend anyone...that phrase "short man syndrome" got the best of me...figure I will stick with taller men from now on..

Tall yes. Why? Well it is hard when the gal is 5'7" plus in 3" heels wrapping our arms around our guys neck for a smooch and raise our leg up when the guy is 5'4". Just saying.

He does not "have to be", he just should be.

When a man is shorter, it doesn't make me feel particularly feminine. A man the same height okayish, but if I'd wear shoes/boots with a bit of a higher heel ... Even the normal average boot easily puts another 4-5 cm (2") to my 5 foot 10.

It's much nicer if you have to look up to a man to talk, kiss, hug etc. and if a guy can put his arm around my shoulders without having to dislocate his shoulder, brilliant!

It's a primal instinct thing I guess, to feel more protected and safe, and feminine.
I mean, how can I be soft and feminine when I tower over a guy? Just doesn't work.

Men shorter than me don't turn me on either, not even when they're really hunky. The attraction mechanism simply doesn't kick into gear. Just doesn't work.
Just the thought of having to bend my head to kiss a guy ... off-putting. Now if a guy is taller and pulls my head back to kiss me ... oh yeah baby! Instant fireworks.

sooo true...

Okayish ??? Okay,i guess if lifts are good enough for Tom Cruise,they're good enough for me to avoid the 'ish' part

I think it's a very complicated and convoluted interplay of a ton of variables.

Everything from women being more social image conscious, a dash of women as moms dealing with children (shorter people), a touch of atavistic biological predilections, to social training, to culture♦ pigeonholing women into two areas of objectification (infantilizing or sexualizing them), and a thousand points in between.

By asking what's "the" reason you will, at best, get simplistic subjective reasons that aren't very well thought out.


So, with that, I will add my idea of "the" reason.
Women have a special nictitating membrane in their eyes that allow perception along a special infrared spectrum when looking up a mans nostrils allowing for an actual view of what he's thinking as it plays across the screen in his brain.

It's the real reason why women love to dance and go to night clubs.
They get the guy to jump around and knock out all nasal detritus that impede the nasal canal, they get him kinda tipsy to make the thoughts more base, then they like to slow dance and take quick peeks up there.

This also allows her to feel how much he has in his wallet, what kind of car he drives, penis size, and for any ownership markings sewn into the back of the neck by other women.

Now you know. They should have taught you that in high school, but I think they've infiltrated the government too deep.

And as an extra; they aren't wearing heels as fashion, those things are radio antenna's so they can maintain contact with the global feminist agenda.
And when faced with extreme danger wheels pop out of their boobs, they fall forward, put their shoes over their ears, and use the heels as handlebars to escape predators.


I think it's funny you used "you guys" instead of "you gals."

Hahahaha, try next time you come to Holland, lol. Might be a tad difficult to play drums with lifts though, so best bring another pair of shoes?

Some very great responses! Just wanted to know the input from you woman. I think overall it's in our evolutionary biology. Woman instinctively choose strong males! Tall men appear to be more dominant than short men, therefore having the advantage to attract females. Doesn't mean shorter men can't attract females. I'm sure they can. I think it turns woman on. When their guy makes them feel secure.

Thanks Sitka! When I was younger. I wanted to be taller in high school. I wanted to be at least 6'5. Yeah I know crazy! We come from a tall family. My grandfather measured at 6'8 from Spain! In my opinion I just couldn't see myself with a woman taller than me! That's a big no no lol

Women don't want short men.. never did.. never will.. that's the way it goes.

Shouldn't really be a problem, as there are chitloads of short women, so to them a shorter man will still be tall, lol

should be at least as tall as I am

Well since I am so dang short... I had to stick up for any shorties out here...rofl...
My first husband was 6'7 ex was 6'4
