Height requirements in dating

mr_fegelien

Why are people so strict on them? I'm a 5ft 5in man and a woman on Tinder told me I was cute but too short. Said most of her friends feel the same way.

She's definitely not alone as this is a sentiment shared by many women. In fact there was a study that showed the height of a partner is more important for women than men.

What are short men supposed to do?

I found what was more common they wanted it for protection and safety. IE They'd need a big man to protect them from things.

That's why I studied the blade, mastered the blockchain and cultivated inner strength.

Thinly veiled "why even bother" prattle. Victimhood certainly isn't an attractive quality.

Why does the truth bother you so much you have to retort with such vehemence?

As for attractive qualities, being tall is very attractive but those tall tall men didn't have to work to achieve their height. A short man will have to work exceptionally hard to get a fraction of the attention from women which a taller man will get just by virtue of his god given verticality.

Height requirements are rough OP. There isn't really a way around them online at least. If you lie about about your height by more than an inch and you meet in person, your date is going to immediately see you as a liar and we all know it's not best to start a relationship on a lie.

As for height being a personal preference, this is just bull**** woman say and you shouldn't pay them any attention ever. They will never know the struggle of being a short man, never mind being stuck for a date. Dating apps have given them infinite choice, and they don't even have to write a bio, just not be disgustingly fat and even then they'll still get matches.

Life is not fair but women don't ever admit or even realise that they themselves are the ultimate discriminators. The arbiters of who gets to have sex,intimacy and children. And who doesn't.

Male height is a huge factor. There is a reason guys who are 6 foot 4 put that down in their bio, and the inverse is true for women. Who often write "and I love to wear heels" after listing their height.

Basically it ain't fair but they don't care. Forming a connection in real life is actually easier, just don't expect to pull in a nightclub.

Best of luck

Couldn't agree more

I'm the same height as you OP. You've just to accept it. I was always good at talking to friends and always felt I needed to be tall to get on with women. However you can do it if you sort of believe in yourself and being confident helped or even pretending to be confident.
However I have encountered women who have a thing about height. Whilst some were just into it for looks.(My face wouldn't have met there standards anyway). I found what was more common they wanted it for protection and safety. IE They'd need a big man to protect them from things.
Just in my experience.

Height is a key characteristic women find attractive, to say it is a "preference" is disengenuous. Nonetheless even short men can learn to be very good with women.

only within reason , once you go beyond a certain height , its a disadvantage , im talking not taller than 6 ft 3 and even that is no advantage as you are a lot taller than most women

The cliche specified requirements on dating sites do not always manifest in reality.

being too tall is no better than being on the short side

if your very tall , it sort of defines you as a person, makes it hard for others to relate to you

But would you date a guy SHORTER than you.

Key thing I've noticed with women is that many don't mind a short guy but he still has to be taller than her.

I suppose but they will quickly turn off him if he doesn't measure up in other areas.

Absolutely, a few years ago I knew this fella, short under 5' 6" who had no trouble with women. He said wear neat clothes, nice aftershave, good haircut and don't give a damm. Mind you he was in good shape and had darker skin.

Yeah full agreement. Women obviously don't all find shorter guys unattractive but height is a common thing women generally like.

Height is just one of those things. There's no fairness, it just is. You'll never slay like crazy as a short guy unless you have sick facial aesthetics, charisma/humor or money.

Few issues. Shorter girls can tend to be among the most heightist. So saying go for shorter girls isn't a one size fits all solution.

I'll tell you what they shouldn't do: They shouldn't get hung up on something they can't change. It's like getting annoyed about the weather... just shut up and buy an umbrella (not if you're a short-arse though - you'll have someone's eye out with it).

I've mentioned my height (around 5ft 7 or something like that) in a lighthearted way on my Tinder profile, and still got matches, including from women who were taller than me. I'm not good-looking or rich and my profile makes no reference to my massive penis, yet they still managed to look beyond my height. You just need to work with what you've got.
