When I were single I wish I could have met a woman 5’9. I am semi-tall at 6’0 and I think tall women are sexy as hell. But somehow when I was single and looking I couldn’t find them on OLD….

As a 5'8" man, I prefer women in thr 5'6" to 5'10" range. Around my height or a little taller than me feels good.

I'm 5'8 and interestingly, I prefer men taller than myself but still close enough to my own height. I only dated couple 6'2-6'4 men and was not sexually compatible with either. They were too big for me, if they tried to go all the way, felt painful.

I find medium height men more compatible sexually and it gives my body more freedom in bed, e.g. not feeling too pressed, him too heavy or mounting over me or dominant


Height does not correlate to that. The two tiniest men I gave been with were 6 ft 4. My college boyfriend was the biggest. He was only 5 ft 8.

Did she resemble her? This basketball player died at age 37 heart attack

The problem is that tall women won't date men shorter than them. Almost any man would love dating a taller woman who is beautiful, smart, etc. Height is not a gating factor for most men like it is for women.


Disagree! A lot of men feel emasculated or insecure dating a taller woman because it makes them feel smaller. It’s dumb but it’s definitely a thing


I've known plenty of short kings and none of them ever expressed this sort of insecurity in any noticeable way. We all had the same sort of comments about gorgeous women, regardless of height (granted, any woman over 6' is going to be treated differently just because they don't fit the classic mold of being "beautiful" for most men for reasons that have nothing to do with men feeling insecure).

Tall genes have a lot of risk to them though- tall people suffer from way more health issues. Women like tall men because they look like they can fight/protect better, a masculine quality, but without that factor I think the health issues associated with tallness would probably outweigh any benefits, strictly genetically speaking. Your best bet is probably average height, so around 5'4 for women and 5'10 for men, for the ideal genetic fitness scenario

Generally, short + tall = average height kids.


Nope, usually they inherit the height from one side or another (usually tallness is more dominant)


I hope that’s true, but it does not seem to be in my case: mom 5’3”, dad 6’2”, DD9 55% (was tall until 6 and has been losing since), DD7 45% (was also taller and has been losing %), DS4 85% but might follow his sisters and lose % after 5 or so….
I wonder if perhaps they will just grow later as both DH and I developed on the later side of normal (13 for me) (16-18 DH)


My DH is a little over 6’3” and I am 5’2” . Both of our sons are at the top of the height charts and one is probably going to be taller than his dad.

This. There's a huge difference between someone looking like Bianca Balti and a tall woman with the weight of a linebacker. I'm 5'7 and I wish I were a little taller - I did print work but was never tall enough for runaway. Never had problems dating.

I like long legs and a round butt. That's a hard combination in short women. Although I am myself short for a man, I mostly dated taller women (e.g. 5'9"). I'm sure it was awkward for some of them to be taller than me. One would intentionally never wear heals when we went out. That said, I prefer an average height woman who happens to proportionally have longer legs - though there are fewer of them.

I am genuinely attracted to tall men because I am short. I think genes play a role here - humans (and perhaps other animals too) tend to find mates who can offset their own defective genes so their offspring can be more favored by natural selection.

Based on my observation, both taller women + average/shorter men and shorter women + taller men extremely common. My aunt is 5'7, who married her husband(only 5'9), my uncle (6'1) married his wife (5'3)

I dated a guy who was 6' 3' who preferred tall women. His ex-wife was 5' so maybe he was traumatized. LOL

I am 5'9" and very single, however, so I can't say it really helps.

You didn’t say how tall she was. And to me 6’4-6’9 men are not attractive either. Maybe that’s why they had to marry short women: medium height women were not attracted to them


Well you're not the average woman- the vast majority of women would be attracted to a 6'4 man.

She's not that tall- 5'8


That's not tall at all. Was she also ugly?

? 5'4" is average. How is 5'8" for a woman not tall?

Just my opinion but I feel like people put too much emphasis on faces. Its like looking at one small corner of a Monet and deciding you don’t like the painting. I look at the whole picture.

DP.. different strokes for different folks, as they say.

Some men are b00b men
Some men are a$$ men
Some men like a pretty face
Some men like thick women
Some men like stick thin model women

There's a lid for every pot, as they say.

I like a pretty face and a proportionate figure - height doesn't matter. My wife is super short, but as far as physical attributes go, she is what I like - a pretty face, and a nice figure.
