When you are in bed height only matters in case of very extreme disparities. All else equal, Would you rather have a tall lover who didn't know what he was doing or a short one who was a magician in bed?

Sure she might meet a short guy and accept him just like a man who prefers thin women might settle for chubby due to personality.

You might find it sexy to be with a physically strong man. I find it sexy to be with a clever man and successful - they tend to have all the things im looking for.

Im not saying that a preference for tall men is at all wrong. It seems to be the default for a lot of average women just like a lot of average men prefer blondes. Fact of life.

I consider myself lucky that im not average and not looking for an average man.

For the moms of short sons - height is not a deal breaker for some women. Please give your sons the confidence that they will find someone nice. Yes the pool is smaller but it probably also filled with nicer (and above average) women.

Lady, you sound totally unhinged.

Err = reading comprehension is obviously not your forte. Might be something to do with your height

I only dated tall guys because on a primitive animal level I wanted healthy attractive children. My son is in second grade. People always mistake him for being much older due to his height. He is taller than some fourth graders. The added bonus is that he we be less likley to be bullied which is good because he is quiet.

There was a study done with kindergarten teachers. They perceive tall boys as being smarter. Tall men also make more money.

You might not like it but society in general prefers taller men. It is no different than men preferring thin women.

Short men come off feminine to me and they are usually nasty shrews.

I like tall men because I think they would be better protectors also. Height is a huge advantage in a fight, and unfortunately as women, our safety and protection is something we have been raised our whole life (necessarily) to be aware and hyper vigilant about

I was not raised to be aware of safety or hypervigilant at all. Nor in my 40 years of life have I ever felt that I was unsafe or that I was in need of protection. I have traveled the world lived alone, walked to and from work at late hours (worked shift work), and never had a problem at all. I wasn't raised to see fear around every corner (my parents didn't conceptualize female as weak or victim at all) and so I haven't lived my life through that lens. Bad things can happen to anyone, either due to randomness (nothing you could do about it anyways ) or poor decisions (you could have made better choices).

That would be great if we lived in a fantasy world. I have travelled the world alone too, walked to and from work, the grocery store, etc, and I am still aware that because of my sex- female- I am a target. I'm also aware that because of my diminished size and muscular/due structure, due to being female, it's harder for me to fight back on a physical level. This is called being a rational human being.

I guess I live in a fantasy world then! To me it is a choice to choose to go through life seeing yourself as a target or a victim in waiting. Of course then the world is scary because every fast footstep, every shadow, ever side glance is danger, danger. It just isn't how I live my life. How often in your life have you had to physically fight back? If it is often, you likely live a very different life than I do. Trying to protect myself in physical fights isn't something that is even part of my life or that I ever think about.

Good. Maybe you grew up very protected. I grew up in DC, my parents both grew up in major cities, and my mom always urged me to be vigilant, aware of my surroundings, and aware of risk. If you want to go through life blissfully unaware of risk... knock yourself out! I'll continue to do what I feel is smart and certainly won't be shamed for it. I like being alive, and I'm aware of the risks posed at me by virtue of being an attractive woman. I think most other women are too.

I didn't grow up in an neighborhood where violence and protection was needed for survival. I am sure if I had lived somewhere where I had to physically fight to survive, I would feel differently. I haven't lived a protective life but I did grow up in a safe neighborhood. More men die from homicide and are physically assaulted than women, so I don't think being smaller / bigger is a protection of any kind. I am also not sure there is really any evidence that being attractive puts you at higher risk of being attacked. Again I haven't lived anywhere where fending off attackers is part of my daily life so I can't say how I would feel in that scenario.
