Height does not matter one iota for women. As long as you are over 5’1”, you have every option. -5ft9in woman.

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.

I'd argue that women are even more superficial in that sense. At least 50% of women would tell you they want a 6 foot tall man. How many men are that tall? 10%? There is little one can do about height.

Men on the other hand can take a second look at a woman who has lost weight, fixed her hair and sometimes it's as easy changing her clothes.

I do think there is a dynamic here. Guys need one thing to be attracted to a woman. Butt, chest, legs, face, eyes, hair, voice ----- once youa re in with one you are in. Women I think view a whole package and determine who is attractive. Woman do not look at a guy's butt and make the call there --- a guy will.

Nah. I’m a guy, and I don’t know any guy who is a “one thing” guy. A guy might have a favorite thing but if the rest of the package is off, that’s a no-go.

Because then her sons will be shorter than 5'9" and women like you wouldn't give him a short. Lol

Their sons can still date shorter women. Not everyone has to marry a tall woman!

It's limiting their sons' options. Taller guys can date all.

Lol. I’m a woman and it never occurred to me to date someone I wasnt attracted to.

"Why do men only date women they’re attracted to? "

I think is qualifies as the most bozo question ever.

And I’d say even if women are willing to compromise some on height, many women will never date a man who is 5’7” and under

As a woman I would say that this is not because of not being attracted to the man it's because of not wanting sons to have to deal with being short men.

I don't want short daughters either. Being tall is part of my identity.

I mean, if it happened, of course I would love my children and think they are beautiful no matter what they looked like. But I am not increasing the chances that they are short.

This is really pathetic lol. You probably have zero personality traits of interest and have to cling to height to impress your potential partners.

5 foot 8 woman here.

A 5 foot 7 man would have to be perfect: Handsome, kind. Sweet, lean, neat etc.

A 6'3 man could be missing an arm and a leg, and have one eye. and I would pick him first.

Woman here. Seriously why?

I don't know, and I don't question. I am not hurting anyone, so why not?

I ended up with a great 6'2" man who has all limbs, 2 eyes and the biggest geart. But yeah, one eye would have done it.
