My BFF will only date "tall" men so that she feels small in comparison

She clearly doesn’t NEED a man she just prefers certain ones.

WTF do you care who she dates?

Ok, yes, seems silly but this is true.

OP, you are taking this much too seriously.

I care that I just discovered she's kind of pathetic.

This seems silly. It could also be like a sexual preference thing in feeling smaller? Not sure why it’s pathetic.

Sounds like OP’s friend is 5’8 so plenty tall herself.

It’s mostly men who get upset about it. One literally went mass shooter on his college campus.

Honest answer: I have a son who is 5'10". -- OP

And you’re upset…that your 55 y/o friend…wouldn’t want to date your son?

OP your friend is not the one with the problem here.

Better chance of getting a big D. Which is also pathetic.

I think she’s upset there will be women who would literally rather die alone than be with her son.

So I felt comfortable pushing really hard -- past her politic, but obviously BS initial responses -- to get an honest answer to this question: "Friend, why do you have an absolute, inviolable requirement that men on dating apps must be 6 ft or taller?" She'll swipe all day long past great guys who say they are 5' 10". "Too short, " she says. "Too bad."

She's well past childbearing at 55 and also past needing to build a life with a potential presidential candidate (who, I admit must be 6'1").

No, it just comes down to relativism. If he's close to her height, then she won't feel "small" (her words.). She will instead feel "big" next to a guy whose only 4 inches taller.

My question -- is THIS what's actually behind so many of you women who post here? That is an ick, as the kids say.

Taller = larger penis and higher intelligence on average.

I don't understand- what exactly is bad about wanting to feel "small" in comparison to your male partner?
Doesn't it mean wanting to feel feminine? So wanting to feel feminine is an awful thing??

Boy oh boy it did not take long for this thread to break down into full blown eugenics!

I mean, yeah, duh. I am close to 5’10 and preferred to date tall guys because I didn’t want to feel like a huge linebacker next to shorter, smaller guys. I think it’s fairly common for women to want to feel feminine, and that often equates to smaller. The man as the protector, able to sweep a woman off her feet (literally, if you go by romance novel covers!) and all that. I don’t think it makes your friend pathetic for admitting that. I’m sure tons of women don’t feel that way at all, so great for them. I ended up marrying a guy only a tiny bit taller than me. Maybe your friend will eventually relax her standards or maybe she’ll be single forever, but I certainly don’t think theres something wrong with her for having a pretty common physical preference.

I mean with her as a potential mother in law I have a feeling that’s a significant number of women. Yikes.

Yes, I think that is the reason OP.

I don’t think this is weird. I am 5 ft 7 and prefer tall men. A guy who is 5 ft 9 does not make me feel feminine. It is just a preference. Who cares?
