I would say the range is shorter for women and brunettes also. But other than that yes.

Nope not brunettes blondes are preferred that's why barbi is a blonde.

Outside of flyover country, the trend is definitely brunette and sleek. But in Ohio and Utah, yeah, big boobed blonde is hot.

It is sexy when a man can pick you up and toss you on a bed. Even if you do not need protecting, it is sexy to be with a strong man. I have never met a woman who said she preferred short men. Sure she might meet a short guy and accept him just like a man who prefers thin women might settle for chubby due to personality.

You might find it sexy to be with a physically strong man. I find it sexy to be with a clever man and successful - they tend to have all the things im looking for.

Im not saying that a preference for tall men is at all wrong. It seems to be the default for a lot of average women just like a lot of average men prefer blondes. Fact of life.

I consider myself lucky that im not average and not looking for an average man.

For the moms of short sons - height is not a deal breaker for some women. Please give your sons the confidence that they will find someone nice. Yes the pool is smaller but it probably also filled with nicer (and above average) women.

Are you using average as a dog whistle for basic?

I only dated tall guys because on a primitive animal level I wanted healthy attractive children. My son is in second grade. People always mistake him for being much older due to his height. He is taller than some fourth graders. The added bonus is that he we be less likley to be bullied which is good because he is quiet.

There was a study done with kindergarten teachers. They perceive tall boys as being smarter. Tall men also make more money.

You might not like it but society in general prefers taller men. It is no different than men preferring thin women.

Short men come off feminine to me and they are usually nasty shrews.

I like tall men because I think they would be better protectors also. Height is a huge advantage in a fight, and unfortunately as women, our safety and protection is something we have been raised our whole life (necessarily) to be aware and hyper vigilant about

I was not raised to be aware of safety or hypervigilant at all. Nor in my 40 years of life have I ever felt that I was unsafe or that I was in need of protection. I have traveled the world lived alone, walked to and from work at late hours (worked shift work), and never had a problem at all. I wasn't raised to see fear around every corner (my parents didn't conceptualize female as weak or victim at all) and so I haven't lived my life through that lens. Bad things can happen to anyone, either due to randomness (nothing you could do about it anyways ) or poor decisions (you could have made better choices).

That would be great if we lived in a fantasy world. I have travelled the world alone too, walked to and from work, the grocery store, etc, and I am still aware that because of my sex- female- I am a target. I'm also aware that because of my diminished size and muscular/due structure, due to being female, it's harder for me to fight back on a physical level. This is called being a rational human being.

I guess I live in a fantasy world then! To me it is a choice to choose to go through life seeing yourself as a target or a victim in waiting. Of course then the world is scary because every fast footstep, every shadow, ever side glance is danger, danger. It just isn't how I live my life. How often in your life have you had to physically fight back? If it is often, you likely live a very different life than I do. Trying to protect myself in physical fights isn't something that is even part of my life or that I ever think about.

Good. Maybe you grew up very protected. I grew up in DC, my parents both grew up in major cities, and my mom always urged me to be vigilant, aware of my surroundings, and aware of risk. If you want to go through life blissfully unaware of risk... knock yourself out! I'll continue to do what I feel is smart and certainly won't be shamed for it. I like being alive, and I'm aware of the risks posed at me by virtue of being an attractive woman. I think most other women are too.

I didn't grow up in an neighborhood where violence and protection was needed for survival. I am sure if I had lived somewhere where I had to physically fight to survive, I would feel differently. I haven't lived a protective life but I did grow up in a safe neighborhood. More men die from homicide and are physically assaulted than women, so I don't think being smaller / bigger is a protection of any kind. I am also not sure there is really any evidence that being attractive puts you at higher risk of being attacked. Again I haven't lived anywhere where fending off attackers is part of my daily life so I can't say how I would feel in that scenario.

I didn't grow up anywhere where I had to psychically fight to survive. But I am aware of the risks of urban life, which you seem to be blissfully unaware of. Men have the capability of fighting back, the reality of the biological differences between men and women means it's much harder for women to do so. Sounds like you have gone through life with the wool over your eyes which is perfectly fine. Do you. I'm grateful for the generations of urban dwellers who gave me street smarts and awareness. You sound like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

How often have those risks materialized for you in your urban setting? How often have you had to fight back?

Everyone should be aware of their surroundings and use street smarts, there is risk to everyone. That is different than going through life hyper vigilant and aware of a fear of being weak in a physical fight. I don't have wool over my eyes, I just have a different mindset / approach to life than you do.

Men come in all shapes and sizes and strengths. Hence why they are more likely to be victims of homicide.They also are really no match for weapons. The idea that a man should be your protection is really kind of sexist. Men die from being attacked more often than women.

Several times, and countless times where I'm sure I have avoided risky situations simply because of my innate situational awareness.

You say "everyone should be aware of their surroundings and use street smarts, there is risk to everyone." And yet you literally tried to claim that "I was not raised to be aware of safety... Nor in my 40 years of life have I ever felt that I was unsafe."

I guess it's good that you've seen the error of your (ridiculous) statement, but it's a bit strange to suddenly reverse your position in the middle of an argument without conceding.

"Men come in all shapes and sizes and strengths"- agreed, which is why I want a tall one who can protect me. I don't care if it's sexist considering the fact that I am a target for rape simply by virtue of having a vagina. Where it not for the sexism of targeting women for sexual violence, I wouldn't have to seek a man for protection. You can bet I found me a tall one.

Not pp you're responding to, but an extra few inches aren't going to help him much against a knife, bullet or baseball bat. People who go out to rob and attack rarely do so with their bare hands. ?

So true.

I'm 5'6 and I used to always wear heels. I have only dated tall men except once, right after college, when I started my Masters program and got an internship at well known organization. My supervisor was seriously one of the smartest, fumiest, sexiest men I have ever met. He was short, no taller than 5'8 or 5'9, but man I had the biggest crush on him (he was older and divorced). I was 25 years younger and although we had some back and forth friendly banter during my internship, he was super professional. He asked me out the very last day of my internship and we dated for a little over a year. Then he was transferred abroad and I was still doing my schooling. We kept it up long distance, but it eventually fizzled out. So yes, to answer your question, I liked this particular short man.

Men always try to turn it around and insist that women who knock short men get furious when men state a preference for extreme thinness, large breasts, etc. Thing is : we don't care! People can be attracted to what they're attracted to, and feel free to discard the rest. As a small breasted woman, I've had no shortage of male interest. I assume there are men out there who wouldn't date me because I don't have big breasts, and that's fine. Short men can be extremely bitter.

The most desirable men have multiple wives in their lives. It's a catch 22.

I have no interest in being a blonde. I have lovely olive skin and would look stupid with blonde hair.

But I am under no illusions, I was more attractive when I was stick thin! two kids and health issues later, I still look decent but am not a head turner. Oh well. I'm getting too old to turn heads anyway, even if I did get super skinny again. Good thing I have other ways to value my existence.

Are you the obsessed blonde poster that everyone makes fun of on here? Get a life and start your own thread, or you'll get reported again.

Sorry. You're talking to yourself in the last sentence.

I just don't get why some people are getting so bent out of shape over this. People are allowed to have their preferences. I am sure some men would find me attractive and others not. I don't get upset about it because I am secure and do not care. I generally don't find white men attractive. It is a preference. I like tall, olive skin with black hair. It is just what I like. So if a man likes fat women so be it. If a woman likes tall Nordic types, good for her.

If you find yourself upset and offended that people have preferences it says that you are insecure. Every pot has its lid. Lighten up people.
