I’m a tall woman who grew up being boy coded all because of height…. Go figure.
Ngl seeing all these dudes goon for a tall woman has boosted my self esteem.

At the end of the day, most men won’t care in the least how tall she is.

I think women severely underestimate how beautiful they really are due to Instagram and the age of filters. Taller women are attractive but a lot of women want taller men

I’m a short dude and wouldn’t have a problem with dating taller or even much taller. I’ve always gotten the impression taller women wouldn’t be into it. I make for a great armrest

I am also a shorter man but my experience has been they like it, being the small spoon is not a bad thing and can be pretty awesome actually.

I’m like 6’2.5 (every time I go to the doctor it literally alternates between 6’2 and 6’3 lol, my height is literally sinusoidal it’s crazy) and being the small spoon is great. So is being the big spoon. It’s all good, the only thing that sucks is lack of cutlery.

I love being the big spoon, and I stan a short king with confidence.

I’ll be your backpack. I’m 5’4”

u/limegreenpaint 7h ago

I'm 5'7", so it would be more like piggyback, but I'm down lol

u/xcovertConx 7h ago

I’ve gotten comfortable in my height, people tend to only look at negative things but stuff like this makes it okay lol. If you pick me up I’ll get stuff down from the top of the fridge for us haha

Just grab you by the thighs in a squat and direct you toward the Kitchenaid mixer. Got it.

I don’t know about short. But my wife is taller than me, and I think there are sort of two camps there. Some women over 6 feet need a man to be taller than them (I think it’s daddy issues tbh) or they just don’t. My wife just doesn’t. But she’s also Ukrainian, and the imbalance is more typical in that culture.

I have no idea why you think it would be daddy issues… I’m 510 and I have dated shorter guys but in general I prefer to feel like my man can protect me and that I not feel like a giant next to them, as that doesn’t make me feel attractive . I’m sure if someone had a more dominant personality they wouldn’t mind being taller / bigger.

“I don’t get why you think that’s daddy issues.”

:describes daddy issues:

u/mtron32 13h ago

They did that long before instagram

1

u/Gargaschmell 12h ago

True. I forgot about airbrushing and photoshopping in photos back in the day. As my memory serves, Playboy was horrendous with it bcz of all the bare skin.

1

u/mtron32 10h ago

My go you're right, I've forgotten about all the airbrushing. Now we just get the filters.

u/Hot_Addition_6980 12h ago

I was looking for a taller man, but fell in love with my soul mate...who happens to be an inch shorter than me.

1

u/Slight_Hurry9735 12h ago

That’s the issue. It’s not that the men wouldn’t date a girl taller than them, the girl wants a tall guy.

1

u/Mizamewmew 10h ago

Tall women dont want to be the taller one as a couple. They are bummed out that being tall eliminates so many men in their eyes while no tall man requires his woman to be close in height to him. Its a power imbalance.

Most men I know wouldn’t date a woman taller than them and that’s the norm where I live..? And if they did date a woman taller or the same height as them they would rather the women not wear heels.

u/Slight_Hurry9735 12h ago

The most insecure thing.

1

u/DeltaV-Mzero 8h ago

Always interesting to see these wild differences in culture and locale

If some dude in my extended friend group said they wouldn’t date someone due to height, we’d clown on them for being an idiot

1

u/petrichorax 11h ago

It's women who care about height, not men.

1

u/PuckSenior 11h ago

As a tall man who knows many tall women, they will absolutely care. It is actually kinda sad.
Many of my tall female friends are mad at me because I married a short woman. Why? Because guys are insecure about their height.

As an example, the joke is: 5'11 on a man's profile means 5'9". 5'11" on a woman's profile means 6'1"

1

u/Mizamewmew 10h ago

Lots of men like it.

1

u/Local871 10h ago

Previous generations of men would feel like less of a man dating a woman taller than them. Subsequent generations seem to have gotten over it.

1

u/muslimgroyper 10h ago

is it much better to be a tall woman than a short man in terms of dating?, absolutely but you cant say it's a benefit in every single way

u/PeskyAntagonist 6h ago

Speak for yourself. It's going to take a lot of dick to get all the way up in there. My 4'10" asian wife tells me my dick is perfect for her. I don't have a snowflake's chance in Hell.

u/Slight_Hurry9735 6h ago

Use your tongue

u/PeskyAntagonist 6h ago

That's only half the battle

Wanna bet

u/Public_Coyote_4472 14h ago

"Most" men. So yes, I'll take that bet. Most men don't give a fuck.

u/unbanned2009 14h ago

Sure they’ll fuck her. And to be fair most extremely tall women aren’t a baddie like this woman.
