Do Tall Men Prefer Short Women

Is it really true? Tall Men Prefer Short Women? Are all the short women with the tall men? Are the tall men always with a short woman? I don’t know; maybe a tall woman sees only what she expects to see in the world of meeting men. Tall women seem to have made this observation more than shorter women, when it comes to meeting men.

You can learn a lot about what tall women think by reading the “tall quotes” pages of tallwomen.org. My experience is that usually, tall men are with tall women, and…short women are with short men. In fact, I see this all the time: A short man with an even shorter woman! Even if he’s around 5-5, his woman is almost always shorter!

Quite often I see really tall women with even taller men. However, I have indeed seen tall men with their arms around a pint-sized woman. According to many tall women who post on the tall quotes pages, tall men have a preference for short women for one notable reason.

Tall men feel threatened by tall women, even if the tall woman isn’t as tall as he is.

A number of posts make this claim. Many of the claims are based on first-hand experience by very tall women who get rejected by even taller men. The theory is that, for example, a man who’s 6-2 doesn’t quite feel he’s the protector or superior in the relationship, if his woman is only three inches shorter, let alone equal in height.

But his protector instinct really kicks in if his girlfriend is 5-5 or 5-3. But what if she has a black belt inkarate or is a competitive power lifter? Will the tall man feel threatened and go back to that lanky 5-11 woman who asked him out?

Maybe this phenomenon is true in some cases; that the protector instinct is dismantled by a woman who’s as tall as most men. But what about the possibility that a 6-3 man was drawn to a 5-3 woman because of her smile, eyes and laugh — three items that often draw a man to a woman in the first place? What if that short little thing just happens to have common interests with that tall guy? What if there’s chemistry, and the height difference is just a coincidence?

WHAT IF…that tall man, whom the tall women think is theirs, actually judges that short woman by what’s inside her?

According to the posts, some tall women believe that the tall men, indeed, belong to them because it’s very hard for them to get boyfriends; whereas, short women can have their pick because even a short man of 5-7 wouldn’t feel “intimidated” by a woman of 5-3. As one poster says, “Short women have a sea of men to choose from, and we don’t.”

There is this feeling that the short girls “take” the tall men away from the tall women. I’m 5-8, and I’ll be honest with you: The ideal height for me, in a man, is 6-2. But this has nothing to do with my height. If I were 5-3, I’d still want him to be 6-2. If I were six feet (oh, how I wish !), I’d STILL want him to be 6-2, or maybe 6-3. But 6-4 and over is just too big, not relative to my size, but just in general. Keep in mind, too, that many men add an inch or two to their height when giving it out.

Advice for tall women Meet Men

Meeting men is of special concern for very tall women. When tall women are looking for men, they may sometimes feel very self-conscious about being tall and appearing too tall, especially next to a man. Even if the man himself is tall, a tall woman who is taller may feel awkward.

Are very tall women best at giving advice to tall women for meeting men? Many tall women do have sensational advice about meeting men. But if you’re a tall women, would you want advice from another tall women who hates being tall? How on earth can she help you? A tall woman needs input from either a very tall woman who loves being tall, or — a not-so-very tall woman who would LOVE to be as tall as you! And that’s ME!

I’m 5-8 but wish I were six feet. This makes me no more odd than a woman with a B-cup bra size who gets breast implants; a woman with brown hair who goes blonde, or a skinny woman who dreams of having curves. Because I wish I were very tall, I can bring something to the table when it comes to very tall women meeting men. Besides, when you get right down to it, it’s all about self-confidence, and any smart woman — short, medium or tall — will know this.

Feeling diminished because “all the men like the short girls?”

Suppose “all the men” also liked the blondes. Would you feel downtrodden because you have brown or black hair rather than blonde? Of course not! The fact that you can change your hair color doesn’t necessarily play into this, either. It’s just that for some reason, when men prefer shorter women, this really eats up some tall women, because you know very well that if 95 percent of men preferred women with a different hair color than yours, you probably would not change your hair color for this reason. Well, maybe you would, but many women absolutely wouldn’t even think of it.

What if most men wanted overweight women, and you’re thin? Would you get depressed over being fashionably slender and start stuffing yourself with pork chops and brownies? Of course not!

I know that most men like to see breasts on a woman. But I wear an A cup. Am I miserable and despondent over this? Of course not! Some men are breast men. I leave it at that. I accept that. And you must accept that some men, maybe MOST men, prefer a woman who’s shorter than they are. Instead, focus on a physical trait that most men LOVE: Do you have luscious lips? Beautiful hair? A glowing complexion? Shapely legs? Nice breasts? A nice butt?

I know I will never catch a breast man, and most men are breast men, in that very few men actually look for women with A-cup breasts. BUT SO WHAT. I’m not the least bit upset, because my type of man is a LEG man! I will flaunt my legs to get a man. Flaunt what you are proud of. A tall woman can still have a great pair of legs! She can have enviable muscle tone and complexion as well. She can have a great smile (which many men prize), and then there’s the whole personality and attitude thing.

Would you be drawn to a man who slumps and hangs his head?

Women often list self-confidence as a required trait in a man. Likewise, why would a man come your way if you’re slouched and trying to appear less tall? This tells him you are not confident. This is a real turnoff to men. If you stand tall and proud of being tall, a man will see a strong woman with confidence and charm. Self-loathing is one of the ugliest traits.

Adorn your body.

Go all out with the hairdo, the jewelry, the clothes, the high heels, even get a sweet little tattoo if you think that will help. But the moment a tall woman slouches and sends out those vibes of, “I hate being tall,” this will send men running in the opposite direction. If you’re having trouble meeting men, it’s not because of your height in most cases.

Yes, some men won’t look at a woman over 5-6. My brother is 5-11 and I can tell you right now that he never looked at a woman over 5-9. This is his right. He married a woman who’s 5-6. But likewise, I bet many tall women have strict preferences in their men as well! Right? He MUST be this and that, right? He MUST be handsome, right? He MUST be slender, or have a full head of hair, or broad shoulders, or a hairy chest, etc., right?

If 100 men won’t come near you, being tall might explain why 10 won’t come near you. The remaining 90 won’t come near you because you hang your head; you slouch; you exude low self-esteem; you’re too quiet; your body language says you don’t like yourself; your walk and mannerisms say you hate yourself.

Tall Women Date Short Men

Tall women dating short men is always an intriguing topic. On the tall dating site, www.matchtall.com, a tall woman posted a question to other tall women: She’s attracted to a 5-6 man. She stands 6-4.Wow! Should this woman go for it? Apparently, this very tall woman is seeing things from a relative standpoint. I’m sure if she were 5-4, this short man would still look exactly the same.

Perhaps she’s worried what other people will think.

Some tall women complain more about getting back pain from hunching over for hugs and kissing a short man. Another issue tall women have with dating short men is that they don’t feel “protected” by them.

This is where I bring up the Bruce Lee/Kramer comparison. Goofball klutz Kramer from the TV show, “Seinfeld,” is 6-3. If you’re a very tall women, whom would you rather accompany you through a dark alley? A tall Kramer-type man? Or a Bruce Lee-type who’s only 5-7? Or actually, what about a Fonzie type? Remember Fonzie from the TV show “Happy Days”? He was only 5-6, but nobody dared look at him cross.

I believe, though I could be wrong, that the primary reason that very tall women don’t like dating short men is that they’ll worry about being stared at; looking funny holding hands with a short man; what other people will think. I hardly believe it’s because of back pain from hunching over. After all, men don’t exactly report back pain from bending over to kiss and hug their short girlfriends. Also, snuggling on a sofa would eliminate the height disparity between tall women and short men.

If this 6-4 tall woman

is attracted to the 5-6 man, she should go for it; though I, personally, am drawn only to men around 6-2. But I’m also convinced I’d feel the same way if I were much shorter than my 5-8. In fact, if I were 6-4, then 6-2 in a man would still be the ideal height for me, maybe 6-3.

Now, what about medium height women dating short men? What about a 5-7 woman dating a 5-3 man? Just the other day, I saw what appeared to be a 5-5 woman with a 5-3 man. How is this any different than a 6-1 woman with a 5-11 man? Yet many very tall women just cannot grasp the idea of dating any man who’s not taller. But if this same woman were only 5-5, would she feel the same about dating a 5-3 man?

As for feeling “protected,” I’d be curious to know who finds it easier to haul out the heavy garbage bags: That 5-6 man who naturally has much more testosterone than his very tall girlfriend, or…his very tall girlfriend of 6-4?

As a personal trainer,

I will tell you right now that there is NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEIGHT AND MUSCULAR STRENGTH. Visit any gym and this is clear. In fact, it’s often the opposite; the short guys are usually the ones lifting butt-loads of weight. And the very tall men? They are lanky and can barely bench press 135 pounds.

If you’re a very tall woman who’s attracted to a short man, give it a try and stop worrying what other people think. Because the minute you get caught up with what other people think of you, you rank yourself below them in priority. And I think your parents raised you to have more self-worth than that.
