Are there men who will only date tall women?

You didn’t say how tall she was. And to me 6’4-6’9 men are not attractive either. Maybe that’s why they had to marry short women: medium height women were not attracted to them

Well you're not the average woman- the vast majority of women would be attracted to a 6'4 man.

She's not that tall- 5'8

Maybe she’s not attractive or overweight. No issues dating for me at 5’8 140 lbs (on a thinner side but nice butt and boobs, super thin mid section)

She's not either. But why do people seem so insistent on coming up with excuses?

You are insisted on women who are tall having issues dating. We don’t unless it’s too tall like 6’

5’9” here and never had any shortage of male attention in my dating years. But cut that “too tall” nonsense out. Height is what it is. There’s no “too” anything.

She had trouble dating in part because her brothers were a$$es to her not just because she was tall.

LOL her brothers had nothing to do with her dating

Sure they did LOL or are you ignorant to the fact that siblings help shape self esteem?

Strangely I’m not sure height is that heritable. I know medium parents with tall kids and vice versa.

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

Generally, short + tall = average height kids.

Nope, usually they inherit the height from one side or another (usually tallness is more dominant)

The height calculators disagree with you. I did say "generally".

And I say this as a very short woman married to a 6'2" tall man, with kids who will be just above average in height (teens still growing).

Those height "calculators" are ridiculous and totally unscientific. Height seems to be mostly on of those binary inheritance things, like eye color

As stated, those height calculators apply to the general, not the individual specific.

Oh my goodness, why are you so combative about people’s height? So strange.

Hmm.. DCUM folks seem to calculate a lot, even using a height calculator for dating. How about going out and finding your soulmate? Maybe this is why there are quite a few people who always look for someone better and keep wasting time with OLD

I think some of that is related to what a person finds "attractive". You have to find a person physically attractive in order to have sex with that person and spend the rest of your life with them.

I'm a 5'11" woman. High school sucked, but I had good luck dating when I was in my 20s and 30s. I always dated guys my height or taller.

Along the way, I encountered some guys who weren't into tall girls, some who preferred tall girls and some who didn't care either way.

I don't know. I'm 5'9 and never had issues. I think it's an advantage for marriage as men want tall kids.

The only place it was a disadvantage was that I limited myself to 6 ft+. Now, I would not.

I went to grad school with a guy who only had any interest in women 5’10 or taller. He was very rich and famous within a certain field (no idea why he was in grad school at all).

The funny thing was he was 5’8” so I think it was a bit hard for him to land his “type,” especially since he seemed to only want intellectual peers, not gold digger model types. He ended up married to a tall blonde corporate lawyer.

Yes. I know at least one couple who got together because both are tall, slim and educated, they were looking for similar people, facial beauty wasn't as big of a factor.

I hope that’s true, but it does not seem to be in my case: mom 5’3”, dad 6’2”, DD9 55% (was tall until 6 and has been losing since), DD7 45% (was also taller and has been losing %), DS4 85% but might follow his sisters and lose % after 5 or so….
I wonder if perhaps they will just grow later as both DH and I developed on the later side of normal (13 for me) (16-18 DH)

My husband is 6ft 5 and I'm 5ft 6...nothing strange about it..
