Short to average height women: Do you feel intimidated by tall women?

[Anonymous]

Nope. This is not my experience at all. I'm 5'4" but I have many tall friends and a dear friend who is especially tall at 6'2".

In my friend's case, she'd say men, not women, are intimidated by her, especially "boyfriend potential" men.

Im 5'10" and wear heels. I've had more than one man and work tell me he's intimidated by me. One of those men is my boss.

I'm 5'0" and I don't feel intimidated by taller women or taller men, but I'm a shark.

Sounds like some excuse-making as to why this person has very few friends.

This!!

But seriously, you must feel uncomfortable all the time then, yes? A decent amount of the total population is towering over you.

Not really. Average female height is 5'4".

And yes, i find tall women a bit intimidating. It might be because all the tall women i know are very confident. There is something there, since taller people tend to be more successful (financially speaking).

I call BS, OP -short women are usually taught to be feisty (even if they don;t know why).

No unless she's beautiful

I'm 5'2" and have never felt intimidated by a taller woman. Then again, the large majority of people I know are taller than me, so I guess I'd be constantly intimidated if that was the case. I actually fee really awkward around people who are shorter than I am - I think it's just so rare for someone to be shorter than I am that it's really noticeable when it happens.

5'2. Nope. Never.

Nope. I'm 5'4". I'm not intimidated by anyone's looks of any sort. I'm sometimes intimidated by someone's intelligence though.

I"m a little taller and also wear heels. I've also had men tell me that I"m intimidating.

[Anonymous]

Never. I'm 5'3.

It's clearly mostly a dude thing.

Not at all intimidated by height.

[Anonymous]

I am 5 ft tall. Everybody is taller than me, including children. I can't be walking around intimidated by everyone all of the time.

So the answer is no, OP.
