[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a tall 5’8 woman and date men who are 5’9 and taller. Anything that’s taller than me works. Just not attracted to anyone shorter than myself. But I don’t see why a 5’5 woman wouldn’t want to date 5’7 man. Really ? [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Not all men like tall women so it sounds like really wishy-washy thinking. If I was 5'5 woman I wouldn't care for my partner to be 6' tall. I would date 5'7+ men[/quote]

But you're not a 5'5 woman, so you don't know for sure if that's what's you'd choose. Short women can be insecure about their heights too, and some may choose to overcompensate for that insecurity by looking for an extremely tall partner.

Also, imagine growing up as a short girl and into a short woman. People treat you patronizingly for decades because they assume you're younger than you look. You are told that tall men are the physical ideal according to society, but you should not date them because you're short. You should not date tall men because only tall women deserve to date tall men. You should stick to dating the men that average height and tall women refuse to date. How would you feel? And then you enter the real world and discover that men of all heights are perfectly happy to date you, and may even prefer to date someone of your height.

FWIW, I married someone of average height because I know the pain of being short and didn't want that for my kids.[/quote]

I’ve literally never experienced any of this as a short woman. Nobody has ever told me I should stick to dating short men. Lol. [/quote]

Heh me neither - I'm five feet on a good day, and have never experienced anyone telling me who I should and shouldn't date. Though when I dated a guy who was 6'4'' we definitely looked weird together.

My dad is short and my mom is tall. They worked out great! Happily married 53 years later.[/quote]
