I'm wondering if guys on here would consider dating a woman who is near 6ft...too tall? I'm tall for a woman and sometimes I think my height scares off some men...even men who are a bit taller than me. Is it my own insecurities or are some men not used to tall women?

Well, I'm not a guy, but I think it's your own insecurities. There's nothing wrong with tall women and I believe tall women would appeal to a man more than a short woman. It'll be interesting to hear what the men have to say.

Personally I have no trouble with dating a tall woman. I avoid like the plague, after having some experience, women who are insecure about their looks. Insecure women are always clinging and needy, and that gets old in a hurry.

I'm 6'1" and my wife is 5'2" and I think she is perfect, but before I got married I dated some tall women. Tall, short or somewhere in between, it is the woman and not her height that is important.

Taller than me would be weird, but im 6ft 3.

If I were staring right at your chest it would be weird, but otherwise no.

You should get together with the "why don't women like short men" guy that was here a year ago.

Agreed. My girlfriend is at right about five feet, and I wouldn't give a damn if it were six.

well its okay for me to be with a guy shorter than me, but God I hope he's at least 5 feet. people might think I going out with a kid.

Everyone should know by now that height does not matter to men. It's only breast size that counts. :D

No worries, that should not be an issue, find a man to be with who is not insecure ;)

I have heard this uttered on several occasions by males:

(in reference to a height of a certain woman)ahh six feet? what a "turn-off"

That serves as an example of how it is true that (from what i infer) most males prefer to be taller over their female counterparts. It most likely has to do with power, ego, and security.

Find an adult male who has no medical disorders or malnourishment affecting his body size that is still under five feet in America...and i will give you a pat on the back.

How so? ;)

I'd have to crane my neck backwards to avoid suffocation.

The impression of the shorter men is that women have very little interest in guys that are more than 1~2 inches shorter than them. So I would say that it's not intimidation, but rather a lack of expectation. For example tall women are just as attractive to me as shorter women, but I would think that my chance of success at getting a shorter woman (shorter than me) to like me is much higher.

There is no blanket answer to personal appearance preference.
Each individual seems to have different attractions and dislikes.

In general I would say that one persons turn-off, is anothers turn-on.

Besides, in fifty years it won't matter a hell-of-a-lot. ;)

size matters

Size does matter. I am attracted to tall men. Short men (in my experience) tend to have napoleon complexes. They are always trying to prove themselves and more often than not have a chip on their shoulder. Just my experience. Besides, who wants a tiny little munchkin holding them when they can have big strong arms.

My guess would be that men would shy away from a six foot three inch woman for similar reasons. It probubly just wouldn't feel the same to attempt to wrap your arms around a woman who larger than you.

I knew a young girl who fretted over her height..she was over six feet tall.
After months , no, YEARS, of slouching and trying to pass herself off as a midget , she decided to play up this feature. She wore high heels and walked "tall"..within a very short time, she met a taller--than--her guy and believe me, they turn heads when they step out.

PS Tall people always look great in clothes.:)

I'm only 6'1" (the shortest male in my family in three generations), but I know I'd have trouble dating a girl my height. I like to look down on women. ;)

All joking aside, I wouldn't mind sleeping with a few tall chicks, but dating....that's another story. I don't think I could tolerate a girl over 5'10". That way, at least at formal affairs she's not taller than I am when she's sporting high heels.

Upon reflecting, if she were a knockout, I'd make an exception. :)

I have only one firm rule: no fat chicks. Curvy? That's okay, but fat - not a chance.
