Are there men who will only date tall women?

My friend's brothers are both very tall (6'4 and 6'9) and they both told her that theyre not attracted to tall women at all and that she was going to have trouble dating. Both of them are with quite short women. And they were right- she did have trouble dating.

You didn’t say how tall she was. And to me 6’4-6’9 men are not attractive either. Maybe that’s why they had to marry short women: medium height women were not attracted to them

I know a few couples with a short man/very tall woman and I think they’re adorable.

A women I was chatting up for a while used to date D1 college/professional basketball players. She told me many of those men would only get serious with tall women because they wanted tall kids--presumably so they could play basketball too.

When I look at the wives of professional basketball players I don't notice this trend so I'm not sure how prevalent this is.

Well you're not the average woman- the vast majority of women would be attracted to a 6'4 man.

She's not that tall- 5'8

Tall genes have a lot of risk to them though- tall people suffer from way more health issues. Women like tall men because they look like they can fight/protect better, a masculine quality, but without that factor I think the health issues associated with tallness would probably outweigh any benefits, strictly genetically speaking. Your best bet is probably average height, so around 5'4 for women and 5'10 for men, for the ideal genetic fitness scenario

Generally, short + tall = average height kids.

Nope, usually they inherit the height from one side or another (usually tallness is more dominant)

I don't think a short man would appreciate being called "adorable" though. Denotes "child".

The height calculators disagree with you. I did say "generally".

And I say this as a very short woman married to a 6'2" tall man, with kids who will be just above average in height (teens still growing).

I’m a 5’ 9” man and always felt like I was overachieving when I dated a woman who was taller than me. Kind of, like, huh, that guy must have something special going on if that taller woman is willing to date him. Must have a big…shoe size or something.

She had trouble dating in part because her brothers were a$$es to her not just because she was tall.

My turn-ons were always:

- tall and ridiculously intelligent.

I married very well as far as my personal preferences.

Be careful of the super tall ones that aren't that bright.

There are a lot of gentle giants out there over 6'5. You think they will be protective and have your back but doesn't turn out like that. There are the tall ones who lack confidence.

Tall men also have a shorter lifespan.

LOL her brothers had nothing to do with her dating

I dont think anyone thinks that. I see tall women with short men all the time and i always assume it's because the short women seem to take all the tall dudes.
