My preference would have been to date taller, but I did notice that taller men went for shorter women. A few tall guy friends I asked about this said they liked the feeling of being bigger and more powerful.

My best friend is 5'8. Her two brothers are 6'3 and 6'6, respectively. They straight up told her that guys hate tall women and both are married to shorter girls. She said she feels she never gets male attention because of her height

Yes, men clearly hate tall women. Tall women never get any attention or validation. It's a real cross to bear.

(It's not and I think your friend might have brothers who are fucking with her and also, not nice.)

They are jerks and telling her that, even if true, was definitely not cool. It totally gave her a complex. And her personal experiences have backed up thaeir assertions, so... yeah. Needless to say I have given her many pep talks about how lots of guys will love her height. But these are her experiences (and they are valid)

One, 5-8 isn't even that tall. Two, her complex is probably the problem not her height.

Perhaps. Though it does sync up with what others have said they experienced and observed.

I agree 5'8 is not that tall so I can only surmise what others have dealt with who are even taller...

Where and what others have observed and experienced that "guys hate tall women"???

I think a lot of short guys probably don't choose to date tall women, but otherwise I don't even understand what you're talking about.

Did you... wander into this thread without seeing the title or reading the first post? Or not read the original post I was responding to? They both spoke on the "tall women getting less attention than short women from tall men" thing.

I don't know why you've singled me out or my friend's experience... but I would definitely adivas reading thread titles in the future!

Subject: Tall women with short men and vice versa?

OP: Looking through the threads, I noticed something kind of interesting. Most of the women on the "tall women" thread were married to shorter guys, and most of the women on the "short women" thread seem to be married to tall guys.

I wonder why this is? Natural selection or something? Seems so odd.

Again, where and what others have experienced that "guys hate tall women"?? YOU are the only one who is saying that (on behalf of your friend). The OP asked why tall men might be inclined to date short women and even offered a thought it might be natural selection. I actually don't even agree this is a thing - tall men consistently picking short women. If it is a thing, I don't agree with your assessment that "guys hate tall women" and by the way, no one else said that but you.

You... realize how threads work, right? Someone makes the original post and then people chime in with their own opinions and personal experiences? Which is EXACTLY what I was doing? I don't know if you think I was endorsing my friend's brothers' statements by merely repeating it, or what kind of a nerve I've struck. But it certainly seems strange someone would come into a thread with this title and then be so upset when someone relates that story.

I'm 5'3" which I'm told is short, but I don't think it's all that short. My husband is 6'1" which is tall, but not overly tall. He says he prefers shorter women, but I'm not clear why. His mom is 4'1" so maybe an oedipal issue going on??

I dated a 6'2" guy who really only liked tall women.

PP here. He does NOT have a 4'1" mom- I meant 4'11"!!!

DW is 5'8" but Im 6'2" so in heels she gets close to my height which is sexy.
Ive dated shorter women before and could rest my chin on top of their head. I prefer taller ladies

[Anonymous]

My DH who isn't even that tall (6-0) strongly prefers tall women. He said it's because shorter women get really dumpy in middle-age.

That's a pretty horrible thing to say, I suppose. But hey, I married him anyway.

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'5 and have only dated tall men. When I tell them my exact height, many of them look visibly dosapppinted. "I thought you were shorter"

So in my experience.. yeah, the height difference thing seems to be a bit of a turn on for tall men.

[Anonymous]

Now I feel weird that DH and I are both 5'10"! (Although it means we share clothes easily, we'll often buy one sports/band/souvenir t-shirt and share it.)

This is ridiculous. Most guys do not "hate tall women". I am pretty average, IMO (5'11") and I dated three >=6ft women. Their height was statuesque and made them all the more attractive to me.

There are plenty of people who don't care one way or the other, but if there is a stereotypical (common) pattern it is that women want a taller male partner.

Women very often want tall men. I don't think guys are particularly concerned about height one way or another.

Man who dance with tall woman get bust in mouth!
