I’m 4’11 and I’m not attracted to men over 5’9 . Tall men appear intimidating to me or they appear awkward if they are too skinny ; But for some reason I get approached by a lot of tall men ; I even had a 6’9 guy wanting to get with me
For some reason I always hear about how short woman chase after tall men ; that hasn’t been my experience; it’s usually tall men who pursue short woman and aren’t attracted to woman that are tall 🤷🏻♀️ |
If there is too much of a height disparity, either way, it tends to look more like a circus act.

I really don’t think this is a thing. My husband is a foot taller than me. I think the only person who commented was my grandmother saying all the tall girls would be mad I took him. |
They probably have a midget fetish. |
None of it matters. But a couple with more than a four-ish inch height disparity doesn't look right to me. |
Short women are kinda “one size fits all” if you know what I mean.
They need to stop and leave tall men alone! The rest of us need men to date too you know? |
No one actually cares in real life. Trolls will say the dumbest stuff on the internet. |
it isn't "a thing" |

It's definitely a thing - I'm 5'2", my husband, at 5'10", is the shortest man I ever dated. Like OP, I always had tall men asking me out, and rarely had short men ask me out. I was never averse to dating a man closer to my height, but they were not into me. I also happen to have a lot of tall female friends, and every single one of them has commented at some point about how the tall guys love me and they wish tall men would be interested in them. |
I think some men really like the feeling of being with a much smaller woman, because it makes them feel big and powerful.
I also think some women like feeling small and, it must be said, powerless next to a big man. This is based on my experience dating men 6' and up before marrying my husband (who is 5'9"). Some of those guys were way too invested in how petite I am, in a way that grossed me out. I vastly prefer being with someone who feels more like (and wants to be) my equal. So yes, when I see those couples where he's super tall and she's really short, I do kind of assume it's a mutual fetish based on the power dynamics of that, and it gives me the icks. |
What a bizarre thread |
A few days ago I was standing near a super tall man/super short woman couple. She was on her tippy toes with her neck stretched up trying to give him a kiss, and he kept stooping way down to get close to her and then popping his head up again before she could kiss him. Laughing his head off. It was pathetic. |
So when they’re posing side by side it throws you off a little? How about most of the time when they aren’t standing next to each other? |
They were being playful. 🙄🙄 |
