Why short women demand tall men

[Sylvanas]

I never talked to you before you threw a tantrum in the afghan thread and called me stupid for saying that the guy looked chechen. Not sure what offended you but clearly I wasn’t the one being rude.

I called your statement stupid, because it was, not you. Read again.

I called your statement stupid, because it was, not you. Read again.

It was my opinion on the matter. If you didn’t like it, you could’ve pointed out exactly why you thought I was wrong instead of resorting to a childish “stupid”. It was rude and uncalled for. Anyway, I don’t want to derail the thread.

her body and face are 9 and she styles and carries herself in a certain way. if a guy fullfills the same criteria he is already attractive to most women.
a lot of men are also too insecure or too falsly pragmatic (meh, i stand no chance) to approach this type of women, while average looking women get approached by good looking guys very often

10 Body + 8 face. 9/10

I agree and i would say the 9's are way more chill when it comes to that, also they tend to be better at rejecting guys "softly" and with a smile, when many 6-7 who have got hit on less often in their life, act like they are about to call their lawyers.

It's normal for dinarids, they are blessed in both departments

I got only length bless, not height.

I agree with this. Men don’t just want any woman. They want a good looking woman. That’s why we spend a lot of time and money to look attractive. Cosmetic industry makes insane profits because of it. I don’t think women in general are as critical or selective when it comes to male appearance. And if a guy is extremely good looking (like a 9) he won’t have a problem getting women even if he’s a worthless bum.

My father is a short (5'6") deadbeat worthless bum but my stepmother is beautiful and as tall as an Amazon (I don't know her exact height but she is has to be at least 6'0") and she always supported him. She carries on as if he is a gem. It is so weird. They've been together over 50 years now. I suspect he may secretly be a drug dealer.

I'm short and have dated men of various heights.

[Oghuz]

He’s 189cm and I am 168cm. I can safely wear 10 cm heels

That's 21 cm difference so your husband is safe no matter what you wear. Our gap is 9 cm so I am not, my wife on 10 cm heels has a cm over barefoot me.

A woman's right height is when the top of her head is close to the penis.

More seriously, individually and (in part) collectively speaking (in part, because we can still predict for example the eye color of a Japanese child, because 99% of the Japanese have dark brown to blackish eyes, so some prediction models still work, but it's more unstable when there are more variations in "light" and "dark" genetic variations for eye color within a people) the "genetic lottery" (among euro) data does not really allow us to say whether a 1m85 man will have shorter children if his wife is 1m57.

Yes, your height potential is mainly genetic, but the 1m57 woman is the result of a DNA recombination of several DNAs, therefore not simply parents. She inherited several segments of DNA.
Her parents are the result of a recombination of DNA from several ancestors (near and distant), and so on.

This does not mean that we cannot make a prediction model, but the more we advance in our knowledge of genetics and the more certain classic prediction models are revised.


I'm not very tall (I measure around the assumed average height for French people, which is about 177.8/178 cm in my case, in the morning at least, and slightly less in the evening, measured with a stadiometer). However, if a woman shorter than the national average desires a man taller than 1.75m or 1.80m, it doesn't evoke much in me as I only take it as data (an observation), and not really emotionally (and also I don't argue with these women).

Now, one can interpret this data and wonder why (assuming that many short women have a preference for tall to very tall men, which I'm not certain about to be honest): there could also be a form of fetishism among some short (short = in the very low range of average height or even outside) women who have a strong sexual attraction to tall men (+1.83m) to very tall men (+1.85m).
There could also be a desire to have taller children, thinking "my genetics are messed up, I need to improve my offspring!" or something of that sort.
Or maybe it's just that women in general prefer tall to very tall men (not in the sense of "taller than her" by 5 to 10cm, but significantly taller, like 20 to 30cm taller).

I don't know.

I am a short girl 1.56m (5''4) and my husband is taller 1,81m (6''). I didn't specifically look for a taller man, but I reckon I like the idea of raising the height of my kids, especially if they're boys. Why? Because looks affect society and unfortunately men benefit from not being short. (it doesn't happen to women, I never had a single problem being short on the contrary Ive always liked it). With that said, I dated 2 guys before my husband and they were on the shorter side, so it was never a deal breaker.

There is an allure of being partnered with a taller man (or shorter girl, if you're a man) which is the sense of protection you get/give. It's something very primitive but it's definitely there.

I'm almost a foot taller than my wife, and I like the height discrepancy, for the most part. It *does* feel awkward when I'm around a group of her short friends, though, because King Kong and Fay Wray come to mind.

"I demand 2 meters tall so i can wear stripper heels". Soon.

Apricity made me browse through memory and i don't think i ever dated a girl shorter than 160cm, at least. So maybe we should start being tighter about it too. If only we could pretend to care that much...

It's such a dumb argument, wearing heels I mean.

I don't see anything wrong with a woman wanting to date taller men even if it is because of stripper heels. My 14 year old daughter is 175 cm and she would not date someone her height or shorter than her and I wouldn't let her anyway. That's normal.


Both of you will understand my point when (or if) you ever have a daughter.

Until then, carry on with your gender warz.
