Good job.

I seriously can't figure out why height is so important.

[–]AlwaysBeTextinDieted for two weeks, it's genetic! 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Speaking as a 6'2 man, it's never really made much sense to me either (not that I'm complaining). I'd think that shorter women would be drawn to shorter men so it's not as physically awkward to kiss standing up, hold each other, etc. But nope, even short girls like tall men.

I'm more drawn to taller women, not because I think they're prettier, just due to the physical awkwardness.

[–]DoctorShittyWho 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah I just don't get it. I was crazy about this girl that was 5'11 but she won't date anyone shorter than her.

[–]Unicorn_in_Disguise 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I've tried dating shorter several times and every single time the guy has a serious problem with it and gets weird. Not saying you do, but I shy away from guys shorter than me now because of too many bad experiences.

[–]DoctorShittyWho 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes I can see that being a problem. Me personally I don't care. But I have met a LOT of women that are very insecure about looking taller in public. They don't realize they're the ones with an insecurity.

[–]littlejawa 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I like how safe and small I feel around tall men. I also love being picked up and (when the mood hits) thrown around a bit. I think tallness is manly in a really good way.

[–]bugskoala 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I love being picked up and thrown around and feeling small. But as a 5'9" woman I never get to feel that way. Well, I feel small next to my little brother who is 6'6" but that's obviously not the same haha.

I'm so jealous of the shorties.

Edit: also fell in love with my fiance who is only an inch and a half taller than me...

[–]Charliemax 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

As a short man, I think that's also how I feel about tall women. However chances of taller woman being into me are less cause I'm short. :c

[–]grrfunkel 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel you bro, 5'5" here, so fucking short shit sucks but ya gotta own it. Get bulk bro don't let the matriarchy get ya down

[–]xxJerryberry 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (42子コメント)

A 6 foot guy is just gonna be a lot more attractive than a 5'5 guy (both avg looks). Its like tits, hips or ass on a girl, you're just drawn to it.

[–]DoctorShittyWho 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (41子コメント)

But why.

[–]yohohoy 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (10子コメント)

Because it used to be evolutionarily advantageous for females to have children with larger, stronger men so that their children could be larger, stronger and have a better chance of survival.

This favoring of strength and size is found in almost all animals. Of course this doesn't mean that a species will continuously get larger b/c there are factors favoring smaller mates as well (e.g. larger fetuses die in childbirth)

[–]shmuklidoohaFiguratively Hitler[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

(e.g. larger fetuses die in childbirth)

And nowadays they can't fit past a fupa.

[–]xxJerryberry 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Probably an under lying reason like why men like tits and wide hips. Taller men look stronger, bigger and more capable of protecting you and your children. Personally the whole protection thing, being larger and when they wrap their arms around you and how comfy and safe you feel is prob why. Kinda hard to explain honestly.

[–]ArticMedic 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because a short guy doesn't look tough. Like if I need protection I feel like I could push over a short guy. It's not accurate but I can't help instincts. Big guys just look stronger/ better protectors.

[–]trashboat15 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (20子コメント)

It sucks because you can't control your height, but most girls including myself find height attractive. Its kind of like Nice boobs for girls or being petite (shorter not fat) are generally seen as attractive for girls and are something obtained from genetics (except for boob jobs but that's unaffordable and a general pain in the ass for the average bear/girl)

[–]DoctorShittyWho 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (19子コメント)

Ok I get it's more attractive but why do girls refuse to date shorter men? I don't have a breast cup minimum

[–]Thanmandrathor 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We don't all refuse to date shorter guys. My ex was 2-3 inches shorter than I was.

Though the husband is taller than I am, but not hugely. Also I'm 5'8" so it's harder to find guys taller or substantially taller. I don't need some giant, but I do like them a little taller.

[–]trashboat15 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Again, it's just different people's personal preference. Some guys don't like my thin lips even though it's what I was born with and can't change. The shortest guy I've dated was 5'7" (I'm 5'3) and it was just a turn off because I like submissive sex and to feel like the" little spoon" if that makes sense haha. But yet I find Daniel radcliffe attractive. I've also dated two other guys considered shorter or averageish. Its something that's not really a deal breaker but not a turn on either, although my boyfriend now is 6' and I really like his height

[–]Another_Pegasus 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Because women have a right to date or not date whoever they want and they don't owe anyone any type of justification. Why don't you date someone with meth mouth?

[–]FrostMike 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Because meth mouth is fucking gross and fixable. Unlike height.....

[–]Another_Pegasus 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It doesn't matter if you can't fix your height. Women are allowed to like/date/fuck whoever they choose and if they don't like you then tough shit.

[–]duck_dogersVerified Shitlord -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree with you and that's all I've been saying but I get downvoted to hell. Apparently you are the only one who believes you don't have to justify your preference and have to make up bullshit evolutionary excuses. People like what they like.

[–]DoctorShittyWho -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Seriously?

[–]Another_Pegasus 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (11子コメント)

Yes, seriously.

[–]ShitLordStu 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I just read though this. I don't get it either. I don't have boob or height standards for women. I'm like the good dr. Completely baffled.

[–]DoctorShittyWho -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wow

[–]DoctorShittyWho -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (7子コメント)

So happy for you that you feel empowered about your right to be superficial

[–]everynameistaken2543 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're pretty sensitive about this height thing huh?

[–]Another_Pegasus 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Oh...okay. Well firstly, I'm a guy. Not everyone who asks for women to be treated with respect and wants them to have the freedom to make their own choices is a woman. Secondly, if you're going to play the superficial/shallow card, then you should go date a chick with a hideous facial deformity, otherwise you're shallow.

[–]anotherthrowaway923Lady of House Shit - Our Privilege Unchecked 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Same reason why men don't find fat women unattractive: shorter men don't look as healthy.

So, literally evolution.

[–]duck_dogersVerified Shitlord -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Actually, men who are more physically fit and more muscular are literally evolution. I don't think there's any evolutionary benefit to a height differential of a few inches.

[–]anotherthrowaway923Lady of House Shit - Our Privilege Unchecked 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A tall and physically fit man would be seen as more able to protect and provide for his mate and children, just as a slim and fit woman would be seen as more able to bear healthy children.

Also, women often desire to feel feminine and dainty, especially tall ones who are sometimes made to feel insecure about their own height.

That's about as well as I can explain it. Full disclosure: am dating a physically fit man who's five-nine and perfectly happy with that

[–]Miss_anthropyy 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm 5'3" and I don't get it, but then again, everyone is taller than me... so it really doesn't matter.

[–]littlejawa 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (10子コメント)

I always say a guy can never be too tall for me...I think it's because with tall guys (say 6'0''+) I feel safer and I think it's quite masculine which is a turn on. I feel bad for short men because they can't control it, but at the same time I can't deny what I find attractive and unattractive.

[–]DoctorShittyWho 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Would you reject a shorter guy

[–]Neutrino_Tau 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (7子コメント)

It's okay to have preferences, you know.

-A short guy (5'9)

[–]bugskoala 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

5'9 is considered short? I thought it was average and 5'7 and under as short...

[–]DoctorShittyWho 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Difference between preferences and requirements

[–]Neutrino_Tau 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I had requirements when I was looking for a partner. Is that bad?

[–]DoctorShittyWho 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Like boob size? Height? Eye color?

[–]Neutrino_Tau -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Like specific facial features, weight and certain fields of study/work.

[–]DoctorShittyWho 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Facial is different. Fields of study and work now THATs superficial

[–]NotMrS 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

5'9" here as well, and I have been generally attracted to thin women on the taller side; my height or close.

Being a rational human I am not only fit and a healthy eater, I also understand that not everyone in the world has to be attracted to me. Just as I have my preference. That being said I have often dated women that fall outside that and it doesn't bother me.

Just no fatties!

[–]duck_dogersVerified Shitlord -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I get that you like what you like- as do we all. However, there is nothing masculine (nor feminine for that matter) about a specific height. I mean is an 8 foot giant REALLY manly? and everyone else a girly-man? If so, why not?
