Tall Woman Short Man - What is the tallest you've dated?
I've seen plenty of celebrity couples where the woman is taller, but rarely do I see it in real life on a regular basis. I once dated a woman who was 5'10 for four months. We didn't break up because of height, but because I had to relocate for a higher position at my company and she wasn't willing to move.
I can't say I've dated mostly taller women, but I have dated a few who were my height.
So how often do you see tall women with short men and how tall was the tallest woman you've dated?
Woman with longest legs in America won't date shorter men..
"Burt, 20, who currently lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, refuses to date anyone shorter than 6-foot-3, but says she has a lot of options.
“Fortunately, New York is full of tall, hot men,” she said. “Guys will come up to me a lot and say things like, ‘Your legs are gorgeous’ or ‘You should be a model.’ ”"
I was going to get mad going into this article, but to be fair, Holly Burt is 6'3 which is VERY tall for a woman and being this tall, I can't blame her for not wanting to date men under 5'9 though she did say that she wants to be with someone her height or taller. To her, most men are short I guess since the male average height in American is 5'9/5'10.
Looking for a bit of (silly) advice. I just started dating a guy 4 inches shorter than me and I haven't quite mastered the hugging part. I just don't want to make him feel awkward. Should my arms go over the shoulders or try to get under his arms? Usually guys I've dated are my height or taller and my arms end up around my partner's waist...
I feel silly asking - but too awkward at this early stage to ask him directly.
You know what's funny about knowing what a girl REALLY wants. You'll see posts/pictures/quotes etc. stating the guy has to have:
A. A sense of humor.
B. Take care of himself, along with his girl.
And... you guessed it, C FOR CONFIDENCE!!! YAY.
C. Confidence.
But you know what guys? It's all bullshit.
Girls want height. That's all they want, that's all they really care about.
Lets be real here guys, you see that cute girl, absolutely adorable, dating a 5'10+ fuck-up who has no sustainability and disrespects his girl.
A dude can have all the 'caring' and 'stability' traits as well as having high aspirations, yet if he has no height, then it's still a 'no' for the girl.
I'm sorry guys. I know I'm making generalization here, but this applies to 95% to girls and to short men.
That's it, I'm done with girls. And no, I'm not 'turning' gay.
Why is "tall" the first trait so many women ask for...
Also, being "tall" isn't really a trait! This basically sums it up. I can't even handle speaking with most of my girlfriends anymore because they have these views and as I have said on here, my boyfriend is short.
I been talking to a woman online the last few weeks and it has been great. I met her on a sports forum actually. We have skyped a few times. She lives about a 3 hour drive away. We want to meet up but I am nervous. She didn't mention heights or weights. I can tell she has a great body but she looks to be about 5'6 herself. Should I bring up that I am short before we meet up or risk the embarrassment?
Just saw this post on reddit and wanted to share it here. A 5'1 man marrying a 5'7 woman who he calls the woman of his dreams and is saying his wedding day was the happiest day of his life.
Just curious. I noticed that as I made more money and my lifestyle improved over the years, women are warming up to me and are more interested in dating me. What do you think? Does money make up for lack of height?
This is very true and I want to say that assuming rejection is the biggest fault. Just because you get rejected, it doesn't mean it is because of your height EVERY time.
5 Ft man can't attract women so pays prostitute to live with him
This story is unbelievably said. A man admits that his being just 5 feet tall and having an ugly face has confined him to being single for most of his adult life. He says that at 31, he hasn't had any relationships and while successful gets absolutely nowhere with women which drove him into a deep depression. To help mitigate the loneliness, he hired a pretty call girl to stay with him 4 days out of the week for the price of $40,000 (I'd guess how much he paid so far).
This is fucking horrible. Is the stigma of being a short man that bad that out of billions of people on the planet, a guy that shot is reduced to this? I guess I can applaud him for dealing with the hand he dealt, but could you imagine shelling out that much cash? Worse, he's caught feelz for the woman and you know how that might end up.
You have read the reddit post here. Truly sad but makes me angry how important height is to women. His success in life means diddly squat.
here is an excellent, very deep discussion about many things including love, sex, pleasure, violence, compassion and religion-all in in under and hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIe5HOj50uQ
So i'm new, think its cool there is a forum for this - seems there is one for everything else. Im only 5ft4 (sigh).
Basically in school when everyone shot up past me circa the age of 15, it became a nightmare. My height was always brought up and the butt of a few jokes.
However, I went to university and suddenly it wasn't that big a deal. Guys never brought it up or laughed, there were loads of other short guys. Woman didn't care. Infact I've had a tonne of success dating/hook up wise here.
I feel like the girls at uni are so much more cultured and intellectual, they aren't as superficial as the hometown girls. I dunno.
Anyway, im leaving this year and it is worrying me. I won't be on the student social scene and I feel i'l flounder in the 'real world'.
How do i carve out an identity? It just feels like short guys can't really be anything. You can't be the strapping athletic guy, or the cool alternative dude. Your just.....short.
Dating seems like it will be hard. There isn't the social scene of student life. You're in the working world full time. In nightclubs i notice that it is very hard for short guys to get attention. The girls flock round taller guys - even if they are really ugly.
I've been successful on Tinder (in terms of matches). Woman do find me attractive but they obviously don't know my height. In decent shoes I'l reach 5ft6 but that's nothing. I worry about going on dates and feel im not good enough for them. Even though im funny, athletic, ok looking and intelligent. It just feels like height is the top trump.
