I told a guy I don’t want a taller man and he said I was lying and women always want tall guys. Is this just a believed thing? Also why would he think I was lying about my own type? What would I gain from that?

Anonymous 9w

He prob thought that because it’s like a 90/10 preference for tall guys

Anonymous 9w

As a girl who is 5’9 i take what I can get😭

Lots of women will lie and say that their bf is their exact type. Maybe you are telling the truth, there are always exceptions to rules. But generally speaking most women would prefer a taller guy, this is fact

Anonymous 9w

Lots of women say they want tall guys but none of my female friends are ever engaged to tall guys. Maybe taller than them, yeah, but not tall for a guy.

Some ppl can be rly susceptible to believing online discourse as representative of reality generally. That and maybe some insecurity if he’s a short guy that’s had short guys being undesirable drilled into him. A lot of women tend to prefer men taller than them sure, but there are women like you who don’t as well. Ppl just need to chill tbh

Is it really? I’ve honestly only have heard guys talk about it. Is that a proven statistic or just an estimate?

OP 9w

An estimate based on vibes idk. It’s normal to see a 4-5 inch height gap in couples. I think it’s one of the big things girls talk about besides face in attraction. My ex gf was like 5’4 and liked that we were eye level tho so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m 5’1 and all my friends are taller than me. Sooo rude of them to do that to me. But fr looking up constantly hurts my neck. My brother is 6’1 and he makes fun of me all the time. I told him I would trade legs with him but he said no 😔

Shoutout shorter girls. I think society teaches women that it’s bad to be tall and big so a lot of women want to feel smaller relative to their partner, but shorter girls are already small so it’s not so big a deal

Bro don’t do this to me 😭 I gave up hope after 8th grade that I wasn’t getting any taller. I volunteered at a summer group for kids and some of those middle schoolers were taller than me. That’s when I knew I had to pack it up

Yea it’s interesting girls can stop growing at like 11-12 😭. It would be fun to be tall to play sports but at least plane rides aren’t miserable

True. My brother hates car and plane rides while I’m chilling. Less leg equals more leg room. When I was younger I did sports but I was smaller then too so the other girls would just push me over. I got taken out after I punched a girl for purposely shoving me in basketball. But hey she deserved it

I’m glad I gave up on my hoop dreams early 😭. Women’s youth sports get crazy intense for some reason

Absolutely. Children in general are menaces. I knew a boy in 3rd grade who was really jealous that this other guy was better at soccer than him. One time he was behind his rival for the slide line. He pushed the other kid off the top of the slide and the kid broke both of his legs. Had to be in a wheelchair for a while. Didn’t play soccer after that for sure

No I was just being encouraging but it is a nice observation. Also #2 no boy is gonna be thrilled if you tell them “yknow I just take what I can get 😭 “

I think it started with all those “describe your perfect man” videos, where the women always started with “over 6 foot”. It’s is true on average tho.

Dw I would never say that. I just mean that a guy can be my height and I would be fine with it

You think women date guys they’re not attracted to? What?

Anonymous

OP 9w

Preferring something doesn’t mean needing it to be attracted to someone. Although some women care much more about height than others

I’ve had crushes on lots of guys who were shorter than me. So if a guy comes along and he’s my same height and I like him I’m taking him!

Statistically in 99.5% of relationships, the guy is taller than the girl. I think you’re kind of an outlier just because you’re only 5’1, so that makes height a non-issue for you because only about a tenth of a percent of guys are shorter than you are, and 97% of guys are at least three inches taller than you.

OP 7w

I’m the same way but reverse, I’ve never thought of women’s height as a limiting factor, but I’ve also been tall my whole life. At 6’1, only about a one hundredth of a percent of women are my height, and only about half a percent are even within three inches of my height.
