Because, as my daughter informed me, women don’t want to be taller than their mates … at least while still in their twenties ..a ‘rule’ she’s actually breaking

At least they're telling you! LOL I've found so many men lie about their height... do they think I won't notice when I meet them in person? A 5'1 woman may not readily see the difference between 5'9 and 6', but a taller woman sure will when we look at you eye to eye lol I admit I do prefer a man taller than me because I want to "fit" physically with my partner. Everyone has preferences... doesn't mean they're carved in stone.

They have a height complex ! There was a guy on here when I first joined who continually went on about his height and how all women were gold diggers (another complex). He seems have disappeared!

I've seen many female online dating profiles that say to men. "If you're not 6ft don't bother."

Or "I'm 5ft 7in. I like to ware 3in heels, so if you're not at least 6ft this will not work".

And, "SHRIMPS! (Men under 6ft) Don't waste my time."

This has been literally what women have said in there profiles to men.

As a fellow tall girl( I’m 5’10&rdquo I get this a lot. I am open to dating men shorter than me but usually it’s them I notice squirming. They say they can handle it in theory but when it comes down to it, very few are comfortable. I also wear at least a 3-4 inch heel. I’m sure that doesn’t help.

It's a thing with women.

They are under the false impression that women prefer tall men, as in tall, dark, and handsome.

Because most women won't date men shorter than they are. I sure wouldn't.

I never understood that either...I guess they have had bad experiences with women wanting taller men...I normally wear high heels, so there is a good chance I will be taller than a lot of guys...horizontally, things even out, right? ha
