Height

[Anonymous]

I’m a 5’10 divorced mid 40s woman. I’ve always had a 6’3” (ish) significant other or husband. I’ve been drawn to big Viking types of men since about middle school… 😂. However I recently met a wonderful 5’7” man (and admittedly as per the previous posters point about height/income, he is very off financially), I find him physically very attractive and masculine. I’d say he is cute but not less masculine vs taller men. He’s got big (big!!) hands and feet 😉 and is quite assertive, as well as kind and generous. He seems incredibly into me, which I’m surprised by. Sounds like he’s only been married and dated women who are shorter than him, prior to me. Perhaps we are just a fun novelty to one another, but I’m not finding his stature to affect or thwart my attraction.

Made a correction in bold… also think of Rosie and Jason. We are like a MUCH LESS PRETTY version of them… 😛 I’m slim tall light haired blue eyed, he’s shorter, buff, brown eyed, greying balding dark hair. He’s pretty much the opposite of men I’ve been attracted to my whole life. However unlike the men I’ve been with to date, he is is not stoic, he is very talkative and expresses emotions, not self centered, very warm, and very interested in me. Which as an older woman, matters to me in a way that it apparently didn’t as much, way back when?! I would say I’m not attracted to his money per se (although his suggestion that we fly to a warm island for the weekend was exciting!) as much as his intellect, which is the reason he has money. He is almost too smart for me to keep up with, conversationally… I’m afraid he will get bored with me. He invented a bunch of tech stuff. However he’s said he likes my “femininity” which I understand to me be appreciated that I don’t challenge him or emasculate him too much, despite my height). Back to the height thing to, I do prefer to barefoot around him… the psychology of attraction is interesting.

I see your shortness and raise you: I am a Black woman on the apps. Nobody is looking for me.

The PP is a man Guys, you are so easy to spot when you pretend to be women. This is NOT how we think and write. I like that you put femininity in quotes - it's such an illusory term and such a mystery to you. It doesn't even crosses our minds to think about femininity (we exist, therefore we are feminine) and emasculation. I like how to you try to explain a "woman's" thought process and emotions by using the male logic lol. Buff? Too smart for me? Said no woman ever. I also like the subtle "invented a bunch of tech stuff", like this pretend woman has the intelect of a 2th grader and cannot grasp a technical innovation. Even the most airheaded Instagram "model" can understand a tech innovation so she can assess the cash cow potential. But nice try, A for effort.

ignored. But I agree with you to a point - all women (fat, thin, tall, short, sexually promiscuous or not) want tall guys. So, what else is left for you? Your incel groups, tears, and you mom's basement. Also, you can type whatever word you want here, this is not your red piller online support system.

I am a woman. Who anointed you to speak for all of us? You are wrong. I could care less about looking for a tall man. I will take my 5’9”-10” DH who is loyal, funny, generous, thoughtful, smart, hard-working, fit, an excellent father and does 50% at home. And makes $2m a year. So many things that matter so much more than height, and sad arhat as an adult you don’t understand that.

Another doozy. No woman in her 40s thinks of her as an older woman. Only a man would think that.

ROFL. This was the best DCUM read. I’m still chuckling about the “said no woman ever”.

I see how you limited it to the taller side of 5'9". 😆

OP here. This is hilarious. I’m new to internet dating and assume people lie about their height and weight. Already met someone who used older pictures and she didn’t blink an eye when I said your pictures aren’t accurate. I finished a drink and left.

I’m not looking for someone my age. Mid-40’s. But several posters have made good points. Im using Tinder and there is no way to remove profiles of people who are of certain height. Only age. Might need to get out of Tinder.

What age are you looking for?

You should try an app that allows people to filter on preferred height so you can get an accurate feel for who will date someone your height and don’t waste your time, or theirs. Also, people assume if you say 5’9, you are really 5’7 on a good hair day so if anything they will be pleasantly surprised that you are really 5’9. Also, look for ways to meet people other than on apps if possible.

I am a woman. I am older relative to my younger self, and in my younger years (teens-20s+) was only attracted to very tall men.

OP Here. That was a typo that I corrected. I am looking for women in my age group. Women in the 40-50 year range.

OP here. Actually, I don’t. I don’t have a list of what I think is physically attractive to me. I’m attracted to all types of people. I am not going to restrict my potential pool of folks by reducing it. After all, physical looks can change (one can gain weight, one can drop weight etc), personality though, that sticks.

Height very rarely changes, especially upward. Women are allowed to have physical preferences in the same way you (or was it a DP?) walked out on a date for being heavier than her photos.

OP Here. You are right about height rarely changing. I did write about me ending a date after a drink. I never said that she was heavier. I said her pictures were old. I am not looking to date someone who starts out by misleading people by using old pictures. If I were in the hookup mindset, I don't think I would have cared. As someone else noted here, maybe I need to get out of Tinder.

Same with men. We don't care about your money or your Masters' degree or your job title.

Hotness matters, that is all. You are nurturers, we are providers and protectors.
