Do you prefer your man to be tall or short?

I love tall women. My boys actually mock me about this.

I will say I've found that short women prefer much taller dudes, I'm 5'9". I've found this to be especially true for women in the 4'10" - 5'3" range.

Obviously not all women are the same but it is a trend I've observed living in big cities.

 

I agree with you except on the fat part, I know a lot of obese guys who refuse to get with women their size.

Also on the flip side, A tall women will pursue a tall man, but a tall man will pursue either. A rich women will pursue rich men, but a rich man will pursue either (mostly a women less wealthy). So generally women are looking for someone to match their success or to get ahead off of. Their are exceptions but a lot of the time this is true. And women wonder why men front so much :???:

 

Hogwash men react to your signals. I bet when a guy 5'9 walks into a room you barely give him a glance so he can tell he has little to no shot with you, but I guarantee as soon as that 6'4 guy walks in your eyes are him you're giving him a signal if he approaches there might be a chance. You guys may be unaware of the singles you give off. I've have gone through maybe tens of thousands of dating profiles (both for work and personally) and height requirements come up in nearly every woman's profile where as for men it only comes up with shorter guys who commonly use "if you're into shorter men" or variation of that.
Men truly don't care, at least in the short term which is what usually happens when you meet someone. Women are in the position of power when it comes to bargaining in dating, it's really your choice when it comes to the kind of men you mainly attract but you do have to let them know there's a shot. Your jaw would drop at how many men will approach you if you give them the signal they some sort a shot. A smile and hair flip go a LONG way.

 

I love when a chick 5'2 5'3 tells me that she's usually into men taller than me as if they are preparing for the runways lol

 

I totally see the opposite especially if the intention is to just hit it. Remember we're talking about meeting/dating not ideals for a relationship.

 

Lol! I love that. Makes me crack up laughing.

 

You gotta love NY. There's a higher than average amount of good looking people here and because of that everyone thinks they have a shot. Unfortunately for women looking for a long term situation they better get use to those 2 am phone calls lol

 

Hahahaha!!! Those 2am phone calls man. lol

 

Women always looking to date up, they hardly ever date back.

 

I spent a Friday night dancing the night away with a married man in an Irish pub, along with his married buddies and my girlfriend lol.

(Was rather impressed with his upfront honesty about being married, and that he wasn't trying to get into our pants at all. Cheek kisses at the end of every song, calling us pretty, but he didn't get all touchy feely the way most other guys would).

The guy in question was maybe an inch or two longer than me. During a slow dance it was nice to be able to rest my head on his shoulder, rather than against the lower chest of a guy. Just a change... typically not the height I'd go for, but it's not a deal breaker. I didn't pass him over to dance with his taller buddies, and if he was single, he would've gotten my number

Only issue I have is short and skinny. I don't want a stick, feeling better about myself lately, but I still can't do skinny guys... so I'd feel like a whale besides a guy that's smaller than me both height and weight-wise.

My ex-fiance was 5'8 at the most.

 

Exception or rule Nikk?

 

Little tiny women are more numerous...it might not be that men prefer them.

I don't like teeny tiny little women...they look like monkeys.

 

5'-10" translates to 6'-2" in heels....Now if he is gonna take you out in that busty black dress, he must at least have broad shoulders. .......I read somewhere that a man just can't be both short and hobbled with narrow shoulders....

 

I notice taller guys more... am more attracted to them, but never rule a guy out.

The guy at the bar was shorter, I didn't care. Perfect kissing height if we were to kiss. The same with my ex-fiance. Another guy I was interested in but didn't pan out... all about 5'5.

But there's also been taller guys, 5'10+

The ones about 5'5 were not slim, they were fairly muscular, or even slightly 'overweight'. That's what gave them the chance, since we'd have a similar body type, rather than me feeling bigger than him.

When the guys are taller they get more leeway, I'd be okay with a slim taller guy

 

It's all about insecurities. Women who won't date short guys because it makes them feel less feminine. Men who won't date tall women because it makes them feel less masculine. They are both insecure. Yes, everyone has their preferences. But, when one draws those kinds of absolute lines, it's usually more about that person feeling inadequate in some way.

 

I'm 5,5 and a half (but i feel taller, I'm almost surprised everytime I notice my friends are much taller)
and my O.H is probably a couple of inches taller than me... max...
But my ex husband was 6'2, it's swings and roundabouts I suppose.

 

I can agree with that. My height defintely doesn't enhance my confidence as a woman, lol. Unless its a really tall guy choosing a shortie. Or a really short girl choosing a towering guy. Then it's called having first dibs on the generally accepted pick of the litter. Not trying to be politically correct here, so you can say whatever you want about that, but I think what I'm saying is true a lot of the time, even if we don't want to admit it.

 

Me being a black man is enough to know that I don't need to worry about how much play a taller brother gets. There are enough women of all races who won't date me because of my size and there are enough that will. Besides, there is a whole world of WW taller than me at 5'5, who have no problems hooking up with me.

 

Small town girls?

What about those ladies? Are they not into shorter guys as well? I'm sure there are some big city ladies and some small town girls who don't mind hookin' up with a shorter black guy. I'm a big city boy with country roots, especially when I go back to my special Island.

Any big city woman that passes up the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures this black man can give them, must be having enough fun already! They're getting too much good stuff to want what I have to bring. I gotta believe there are quality women in the big cities that enjoy a nice hunk of chocolate man. If not, oh well I'll keep on searching!:smt023

 

Quite true. Life is horribly unfair. Shouldn't be, but it is.
