Of all the really tall ladies I know who are in relationships, it's not uncommon for their guy to be extra short. They seem to be happier couples than average. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's because such girls tower over everyone and don't get a ton of attention from men, especially if they are over 6'. So if a guy shows some interest, that's some much-welcome romance. Everyone is short, compared to her! She's not judging. Short kings, go woo a tall lady

  1. That’s not true, tall women generally prefer men taller than themselves. That’s the reason most shorter men don’t approach tall women, they know that chances of being rejected are very high. Sure there might be some exceptions but they are very rare.

  2. I would love to date a tall woman. My only issue is that I can’t seem to find ANY women to date. I live in the middle of nowhere and I am not good at socializing. Can’t go to parties or concerts and stuff because of panic attacks. Online dating sucks. I’m lost and desperate for a hug…

  5. A family member of mine is 5’11 and her ex husband is 5’4. There are tall women who do date shorter men. He approached her so confidently she couldn’t say no lol

  7. My mom and grandma were both taller than my dad and grandfather 🤷🏽‍♀️ Unlike them, I am average height though, so most guys are already taller than me.

  8. I’m a short guy 5’5” and have almost exclusively dated tall women. My ex is 6” taller than me and most of my prior partners were about her height. I like and have short women as well. Honestly think the whole height being a big deal thing is overblown.

  11. I know two really tall women with especially short husbands I don’t think it’s about height but they are two of the best marriages and all four people are absolutely amazing people. They are all extremely lucky to have their partner.

  12. Funnily enough, all of my taller female friends (5’8″+) in relationships are with shorter men. Honestly, I think the pairings look cute! Just look at Zendaya and Tom Holland. Even Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise back in the day. Confidence is key!

  13. A lot of men are intimidated or don’t want to play the numbers game where it’s *usually* the case that a woman would prefer a taller guy.

    That said, you are correct that more men should approach taller women (or women of the same height). Reality isn’t the same as online dating and having a *preference* doesn’t equate to being a non-negotiable. Just because most women prefer taller men doesn’t mean they’re going to rule out all men who are shorter (even if they do apply that filter on a dating app). You can ask women already in happy relationships with shorter men and you’ll realize this is the case.

    Bonus points if you have a face card and you are still of average height (e.g., you are 5’7” to 5’9”). That’d kinda make you like a Tom Cruise. Unless you are *really* short, the face card will make up for it plenty. Just don’t try it on a dating app. The height filter will cut you out, even if they’d date you IRL.

  14. Its hard because that shit is super intimidating to a lot of us. Its all how we think people will view us as well as inconveniences.

  17. Um noo as a 5’5 male i just prefer women around my height and shorter but I definitely will pursue women of different races for sure though

  19. It’s less likely this would happen. This is called outliers. Doesn’t happen usually. I’m a woman, and I have known many women, some are my friends and acquaintances. I know girls who are 5’10, 5’11. They are very picky too and they do have tougher time than me because I’m petite, I have no problem attracting men though I don’t like men too tall (why guys who are like 6’2, 6’3 approach me I don’t know why…). But those tall girls won’t ever go for a guy that short, 5’5? No. They go for a guy 6’3, 6’4 and I know one’s last BF, 6’5. He was very tall. Nice guy though.

    If you go to the ShortGuy sub, there is a guy who is like 5’7 dating a girl who is about the same height as him. With heels she’s much taller than him. There are pics of them. You know why? He’s handsome. That’s why he has a GF same height as him. I’m currently going out with a guy 5’7…for me he’s short…when I met him he was only a few inches taller than me…not my thing. In fact, he’s the shortest guy I’ve gone out so far. All of my ex BFs have been 5’10-6’1. You know why I’m going out with him? He’s model handsome. He could be in men’s clothing or shaving products ads. He is handsome and good looking (he’s lean and fit). If he wasn’t this handsome and good looking I wouldn’t have been attracted to him because I like taller men usually.

  21. I had a huge crush on a tall lady and never asked her out. I saw her a few times as I walk home from work/college. Then I had to move back to my home country for the semester and really regret never even talking to her. I’m gonna do it. Dont wanna regret anymore

  22. Just like women prefer taller men, I prefer shorter women. I don’t think that’s shallow for either party. We are attracted to what we are attracted to.

  23. I’m a tall woman and have dated men up to six inches shorter than me before. I genuinely don’t give a shit about height – some guy is 6ft tall? Cool, so am I!

    I think many tall women are more open minded about not ignoring a potential connection just because the man happens to be shorter than them. Also, if I decided to only date men taller than me, I would be restricting myself to only 14% of the male population which is just silly.

  25. I’m a 6’1″ girly. Absolutely go for it short kings! If a tall girl can’t hang with a shorter guy, that’s a bunch of insecurities you don’t need in your life. I was the same way before I realized it was everyone else that had a problem with me dating shorter, not me. Yeah, it may be her preference but you can prefer to look elsewhere too so it’s really her loss in the end. Good luck all you wonderful short men! Scale the highest mountains! Climb the tallest trees!
