| I'm tall and never had any issues attracting men, tall or short. There is no universal tall woman experience. |
Taller guys are usually smaller in family jewels department than shorter guys; this is why they go for shorter women. It's a better fit for them! 5'11" and shorter guys have bigger private parts, so they don't care about woman's height as much. It's all about what fits you in that department I guess ! Does this help?

| Me, short woman. Only date taller men. It's to equalize the height genes. |
Ha! Actually the opposite is true, statistically. But very creative attempt, shortie
|
If you are posting you are 5'11, I'm gonna go ahead and guess you are 5'10, which makes you short. So you proved OP's point!!! |
Seriously....met many tall (6'2" and up dudes), handsome, smart, and big disappointment down there. I was like REALLY!!!! |
LOL. Your experience sounds like an anomaly tho, sorry.

I'm 5' 9" and usually dated guys a little to a lot taller. Definitely have not found that tall men like short women. More the other way around.* My male family members are all tall and generally only dated/married tall-ish women. Tall guy friends would want to be set up with taller women. I don't think height was necessarily a dealbreaker for any of them (tho some have explicit mentioned the desire for tall children ), just one factor of many.
* That said, I am sure there are plenty of tall guys that prefer short women. Clearly, they wouldn't have been dating me! |

Well, men, on average, are about 5 inches taller than women.
Just like all biological sex differences (i.e. women are less hairy, have fuller lips, more hourglass figure, etc) I think it can be a turn on to have those sex differences exaggerated. So, it may look even more masculine/feminine to have the male partner tower over the female partner, vs the reverse or when they are equally matched. It may be a turn on, in that sense- an extreme version of the female/male dichotomy. Just a theory. |

I'm a tall woman (5'10") and never felt that men preferred short women. I got plenty of attention back in my single days. But I for whatever reason have never been attracted to tall men. I used to get asked out by very tall men quite often (maybe 6'3"?) but it never felt right. I even met some tall men back in the day who said they loved my height. But the very tall guys seemed out of proportion to me. Also I sometimes had the feeling that the tall men were only interested in me because of my height. Most of my ex boyfriends were a bit shorter than me -5'8" maybe. My husband is exactly my height which for me is perfect.
I don't really get the tall fetish that some women seem to have. There are so many attractive men out there of all different heights.

I'm 5'9" and get plenty of attention from men. Tall men, short men, it doesn't matter. It's not her height leading to these bad experiences. |

| Tall woman here who prefers men my height or even shorter! I find that taller men are jerks and shorter men are soooo funny. Dead serious. It's a personality thing, for sure. I don't discriminate based on height, but I would probably feel uncomfortable dating a guy who is five inches shorter or more. |
Huh. I have had the opposite experience. TO me many short men have "short man syndrome" |
