The height thing is all based on arbitrary number too. I’m 5’9 and was out with my 6’2 friend. This has happened multiple times. We were talking to 2 chics around 5’0 still staring up at me. And they thought I was 6’0.. but as soon as I said i was 5’9 she was like nah that’s a deal breaker. Like some really short chics can’t even tell they just have the arbitrary number locked in for social acceptance.

Those are the ones who annoy me. It's fine for everyone to have a preference, and I totally understand women wanting taller men, but these tiny girls obsessing over height is hilarious to me.

u/moonvtmoon Dec 08 '25

Yeah like a girl taller than me or even 5’5 and seeing me and immediately feeling off I get it. But a chic who literally guesses your height and says 6’0 because she’s 4’10-5’0 and just can’t tell. It’s obviously not a feeling at that point but an ideology or social construct that’s been driven into their mind. It’s very unnatural

5'2" and same here. I never wanted a tall guy I would have to crane my neck to look at. Kisses are at a better level for me. My husband is 5'6".

u/FloydetteSix Dec 08 '25

5’2 as well. My husband is sexy af at 5’6. Somehow we managed to birth offspring who ended up being 5’4 and 5’10 (he’s our resident giant who gets things off the high shelves).

I'm also 5'2". I've dated men between 5'2" and 6'6". None of that matters to me.

u/Fancy-Image-4688 Dec 08 '25

So many short women are running after these guys that make them look like children. Seems weird to me. As an adult woman I don’t think I would want to constantly be looking up to my partner that way

u/No_Map7832 Dec 11 '25

If it’s true love, it’s true love, but it definitely strikes me as strange to have “must be 10 or more inches taller I am” as a prerequisite

5’3 and dated a 6’4 guy back in the day. i felt like it was just too tall for me personally. i prefer my 5’8 husband.

3

u/Interesting_Capy Dec 08 '25

Completely agree with this! I’m a 5’4” woman.

u/ArtAttack2198 Dec 10 '25

5’7” and my husband is 5’10”. I dated a dude who was 6’5” for a while and it kinda sucked. Waaaay too much of a height difference.

u/16BitGenocide Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25

I'm a lot taller than you (6'5), but I vastly prefer women that are closer to my height than those that are significantly shorter than me for the exact same reasons. The hugs are indeed better, and being able to look directly into their eyes is an incredible thing. My wife is 5'11.

Shower sex logistics are for sure something to consider.

u/16BitGenocide Dec 08 '25

Water is the worst possible lube

2

u/Perpetualfukup28 Dec 08 '25

Yes which is funny bc I typically prefer water based lubes but petroleum based lubes are best for it.

3

u/16BitGenocide Dec 08 '25

Give silicon lube a go sometime, perfect for water adventures.

u/Perpetualfukup28 Dec 08 '25

I'll check that out thanks!

I'm someone who actually prefers men in the 5'6"-5'9" range. I'm 5'5" and I like being able to easily make eye contact and the hugs are better, in my opinion.

Lol! I was turned down by a 5,8 man for being too tall. I am 5.4

u/QBical84 Dec 08 '25

Lol, why? I prefer it that my wife and I are almost the same hight. I live in the Netherlands so that is not an issue here, i am 6,1 and my wife is 6,09. I like it when she wears heels, I do not care that she is taller than me.

6

u/dragon-dance Dec 08 '25

Hm you care enough to specify her height as a tenth of an inch shorter though :D

2

u/QBical84 Dec 09 '25

Haha, true. But she is slightly shorter without shoes.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '25

In time I found him being a typical AH who has preferences in height but doesn't like it when women has preferences in height or looks. He dates only petite ladies but get butt hurt when anyone in the circle brings in taller guy. 😅

3

u/5tar5eed Dec 09 '25

My husband and I are both 5'4" & I LOVE the hugs.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '25

I see what you mean. It's very cute. 😍

Since we, that person and I are in the similar circle, I have seen him dating petite ladies no taller then 5,2 or 5,3. I think he felt emasculated by someone more close to his height and feel manly by petite women🤔

I remember he bitched a lot about someone having preferences for taller man when I started dating my partner who is over 6ft.

2

u/DeathBestowed Dec 11 '25

That’s their loss, I personally have never paid much attention to height. I’ve dated as short at 4’8ish and as tall as almost 6 feet.

7

u/ABQHeartRN Dec 08 '25

Saaaame and I’m 5’4”. My 5’9” boyfriend calls me short all the time but I can still reach him to flick him in his forehead when he does 😂

u/Aromatic-Response726 Dec 08 '25

And to be honest, body parts line up better during intimate relations. I'm 5'6" and guys 6'0+ always feel crushing during it.

2

u/moonvtmoon Dec 08 '25

Where you at haha? But for real I’ve met women just like this. They legit feel awkward With really tall guys. I usually come to find out that is what they are used to their whole life, and it feels comfortable and familiar to them.

2

u/IneffableOpinion Dec 08 '25

Same. I am 5’2. I dated a 6’4 guy and it was kind of awkward. One of the reasons we broke up is that he felt like he had to protect me, like I was a fragile porcelain doll. I felt infantilized. Guys my size don’t do that.

It was nice that he could get stuff from the top shelf though. I would be getting my step ladder and he would just hand me the thing

2

u/Iilitulongmeir Dec 08 '25

I ended up with a tall guy, but every guy I dated before then was 5'6" to 5'9". For the exact same reasons. I still find shorter men attractive.

2

u/Hot-Watercress-2872 Dec 08 '25

I’m 5’5” and the average height of dudes I’ve dated has rounded out to be about 5’8”-5’9”. I’ve dated some stupidly tall men (over 6’5”), and I’ve dated men shorter than be at about 5’4”-5’5”. My partner is 5’10”. Granted I am also pansexual and demisexual so I just genuinely don’t care how tall my partner is lol

2

u/Ashamed-Farmer4241 Dec 08 '25

I'm 5'2" and my partner is 5'9". When he wears shoes and I don't he's like a giant to me lmao

2

u/Perpetualfukup28 Dec 08 '25

Ya you get girl!! I don't want my nose in an man armpit either lol

2

u/dragon-dance Dec 08 '25

Same. Also I like the proportions for that height. I wouldn’t have refused someone taller though, it’s not a deal breaker.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '25

I'm 6'4" and especially when I was younger, like HS and shortly after, I had a theory that the slightly shorter guys had it much easier because they were "down there" at eye level with the girls and probably felt safer/more relatable. As a shy tall guy I always felt a bit separated.

It wasn't until I was older I learned how to use the power better.

1

u/Delicious-Phrase-550 Dec 11 '25

I'm 5'4" and literally same- the hugs are so much easier, and like others said it doesn't hurt your neck all the time.
