Shorter men are not comfortable with their height often feel behind socially or even were bullied at school. They do find tall women very sexually attractive, maybe they are programmed that way to reproduce. But i do get insane interest from shorter men at my 5’8 just don’t get attracted myself if he’s shorter than me. Same height as myself is fine |
| I'm a woman who only dates short men. Not interested in the tall ones. There's someone out there for everyone. |
| My cousins only dated tall women. I think it’s a type like any other but I also think there’s an element of wanting tall children, particularly sons. |
| I’m tall, and always dated tall women and married a tall woman. Dating someone a foot shorter than me just field wierd |
| Marry a short woman and you risk having short kids, even if you are tall. Short genes can be strong. I can understand a short woman wanting to dilute them, though. |
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 |
| Yes, my brother is 6'3 and only dated very tall women. His wife is 5'10. I'm the shortest my H have ever dated, and I'm 5'7. I think most men don't want short boys. |
| There’s somone for everyone. I’m 6’2” and find short girls attractive. My wife is 5’8” so I landed somewhere in the middle. |
Where the data is coming from? I've read something like that but only for extreme short/tall people. It's not dangerous for a woman to be 5'7-5'9 or for a man to be up to 6'4 |
I'm 5'8 and interestingly, I prefer men taller than myself but still close enough to my own height. I only dated couple 6'2-6'4 men and was not sexually compatible with either. They were too big for me, if they tried to go all the way, felt painful. I find medium height men more compatible sexually and it gives my body more freedom in bed, e.g. not feeling too pressed, him too heavy or mounting over me or dominant |
Some women really enjoy that sexual aspect. |
You don't want to go extremes: short genes can indeed show up several generations later. My grandfather was super short, 5'4. It took him and his children to "marry up" to taller women to resume producing taller offspring. One of my cousin brothers ended up shorter though at 5'6, and ended up single (he likes tall women they don't like him) |
I'm very active in bed myself not dominant but like a variety of positions and flexibility. An athletic 5'10-6'1 man with medium size everything is perfect for me |
| If I may say, I love tall women. I'm 5'5 and true story, every woman I've ever dated has been about 6 ft tall. I can't help it. I think the very tall and the very short are natural allies. Together, we make one normal person. |
Technically all added mass is less than ideal. So yeah, bad health effects set in at any range of tallness. Blood is more difficult to pump among other things |
