I’m a 5’10” woman. No, not attracted to men shorter/slighter than me, much less my own height. I don’t hardly notice a man unless he is at least 6 foot. Boyfriends have all been 6’2-6’3. I did go on some dates with a very persistent man who was about 5’8 or 9”. He was so physically perfect in an aesthetic sense, but I was not that attracted to him, ultimately. Tall man fits with me physically, so so much better!

I will say that my 59 year old (Ive also like older...maybe I have a daddy complex- older/taller men) 6’3 boyfriend is starting to get that semi-old guy hunched over posture. He will be hard for me to hold up if he tips over. I agree that as I get older (45) older men lose their sex appeal. Once they get day time bed head, always need to snack on Tums after meals, and start missing patches of facial hair when shaving, kind of becomes much less hot.

I’m 5’6”, DH is 5’5 1/2”. If I’m in anything but the flattest flats (and him in normal shoes), it is visible. I still wear heels when I want and DH doesn’t care. I always dated over 6’ before we met and I thought I’d miss hugs with my head on a guys chest and tipping my head up for a kiss, but there’s something nice about being able to actually hug him and kiss him without my neck getting sore.

“Dating men who are shorter than you” = “Dating women who are fat.” Both wish it wasn’t so, but life’s not fair and it could be a lot worse…

“Short” guys are some of best guys in the world, imo. But it’s a dealbreaker if they don’t ever want you to wear heels. You have to own the height difference with confidence.

In my experience all of the commentary about tall guys being lazy and short guys trying harder, or any other generalizations, are just that, generalizations. In reality, everyone is different.

Sex with the shorter guys is nice because I feel like our bodies line up better, if that makes any sense. It was occasionally awkward but always good with the guy who was 6’4”. It was awkward because he would have to stand beside the bed for some positions. Also, “everything” was in proportion with his height, or larger, so I felt like I was going crosseyed sometimes. I lived with roommates at the time and it was impossible to have sex stealthily. It would sound like my bed was going to come apart and he actually broke the footboard.


Lol. It sounds like younreally enjoyed Mr. 6’4”

Well, that’s where perspective comes in. Short to a woman who is 5’10” is different than short to a woman who is 5’1”.


Yes, the woman who is 5'1" probably has nothing to contribute on this topic.

If I recall 90% of the male population is under six feet, so hoping to date someone "tall" is really stupid. Also, in the end being tall is nothing compared to personality and other features. I dated a guy in college who was a few inches shorter than me (I am tall at 5'11" for a woman). Best sex I ever had. 4-5 orgasms a night. I never cared he was shorter.

I did stop wearing high heels around him though

My son is 15 and he asks me almost once a week how tall I think he’s going to be or tall I was at his age. His friends break each other’s rocks about who’s the shortest also.

I know women have always seemed to like tall men, but men seem obsessed with it now too.

I wonder if it’s more relevant now because of dating apps where you can filter on height. Different than chatting up someone your height in a bar and realizing you get along well with them and have chemistry.


Hmm. I bet you are exactly right.


I think it also has to do with a few other trends:

1. The rise of social media (especially for young folks) has put more pressure on looking perfect in pictures.

2. Societal changes have made it so that women can earn a living without men. If they don’t need them for security any longer then they’re going to date who they’re attracted to.
