I’m 50 and 5’10. Never felt short growing up in 80s never had a problem dating in 90s, 00s and I feel this phenomenon of height obsession is pretty recent

I’ve dated short average and even a bit taller than me. But nowadays women old and young seem to be obsessed. Maybe it’s social media pushing onto to them what high value attractive man is supposed to be

I’ve also spent a lot of time in EU and many countries the average height is much more than USA but I never had difficulty dating there being “below average” by some EU standards and my dates there were close to my height or more

So it’s dumb American women being brainwashed by dumb American social media

Nothing else.

But agree if a guy is 5-10 and woman is 6-1 the sex would be awkward in traditional positions 😂

I'm Eastern European and agree this is completely American thing. Growing up in former USSR, my mom was always telling me not to look at men's height at all. Women are pretty tall in my family, so I was told as long as he's my height or taller it's fine. Men were in shortage post WWII so other qualities than the height (like ability to provide, education, smartness) were what I was taught to look at.

It's very common for EE women to date and marry shorter, distinguished men. People would just think he's very successful or a great human to land a long-legged model

Isn’t the Ukraine president pretty short? His wife looks hot af especially compared to Putins.

Ukrainian president is indeed short - 5'7. His wife is 5'5. She's a screenwriter, they met when he was acting. When she wears hills she towers taller than him. That was considered pretty normal for Ukraine&Russia

I dated men over 6 ft and they were clumsy dancing, and in bed and almost too heavy for some positions (all were slim or athletic).

Oddly, the vast majority of men who play professional sports in the US are over 6 feet. They’re generally pretty nimble. I’d agree that the 7 footers rarely run/ move well, but that’s a big difference and some still manage it - aka the NBA.

Maybe you’re clumsy in bed? Because if your man is too heavy to F you you’re weak or he’s a big fat dolt.

I prefer my men educated, grad degree and higher. These men are usually clumsy. Maybe I'm clumsy, too and thus it's easier for me to f...k men who are between my height 5'8 to 6ft. Also, I don't date fatties my own BMI is 20 so I'm very unforgiving of fat. But height - I don't hear as long as he's at least my height

Yea, Olena Zelenska and her president husband present a very common Eastern European couple. She's a little shorter than him but it seems that she LOVES wearing hills to official events. She clearly enjoys feeling taller when they walk together (with her always a little ahead of him, "leading"). It indeed sends a very strong, liberated female image.

Women don’t approach most of the time

I mean, tall men are also more financially successful so you can try to highbrow this as a more “educated” choice, that’s fine. I was just referring to the idea that tall men are clumsy in bed. They aren’t when they’re millionaires playing a game for a living, or in the boardroom. I’m sure there’s plenty of cute smart, lesser earning shorties out there

I’m 6’1” with very broad shoulders and muscular; I’ve had lots of women tell me that it’s a bucket-list-type thing for women to have sex with a guy with these qualities. So maybe many of the women who want this have never experienced it but really want to, at least once in their lives, maybe before they settle down with someone who is closer to average height/build. Sort of like how guys fantasize about having sex with a girl that has an amazing tush, but are perfectly willing to marry a girl who lacks in that area.

My best friend is 5'7" and was the same height or taller (at least in heels) as her XH.

My other best friend is 5'4" and her DH is 5'7".

We are all college grads and the men are at least college educated and one has advanced degrees.

A former friend is 5'3" and her DH is 6'7" and they look weird, imho. She had difficult labors because the babies were so big.

Are we outliers? I don't understand the obsession with height

This is just like dob breading you want the male to be of equal or smaller size to avoid problems with birthing

Why is this newsworthy? Shockingly, people want to be considered "normal" in height, weight, body shape, etc.

Same but tall men just stride ahead and don't care who they push and shove. It's so rude of them. They think because they are tall they are only required to see other tall people and forget everyone else.

My husband is 6'3" and has never pushed or shoved anyone in his entire life.

My 5'6" former co-workers, on the other hand, would bully his way through the streets and metro.

So maybe, just maybe, all tall men aren't the same.

Everyone has physical preferences OP.

Women tend to like height and men tend to like facial beauty and other attributes such as a thin waist, big boobs, or round butt.
