(Shorter than 5'6" guys) Would you date a taller than average women (5'9" +)

Quote from: Hallijah on December 23, 2014, 06:26:29 AM1. Lets not make it into another fight thread , we all know women won't feel attracted to a man just because he can beat other dudes
2. You don't have choice to woman, they do, so the questions would be: would you feel awkward if a taller woman decided to date you?
3.Short  isn't the same as being a fat chick, when you see fat chick your sexual thoughts disappear, while when girls see a short they don't see the man of their dreams but if you have other qualities it won't stop them from wanting to sleep with you
4.Tall women are less shallow, most of the times they don't date shorter man because the men are the ones who feel insecure about it

The reason these turn into fight threads is because the argument is that tall men are preferred because they are "bigger and stronger" fighters, according to evolution, supposedly. If that theory that tall men are better fighters can be disproven, then the evolutionary arguement for the female height fetish will be disproven.

Quote from: Herron52 on December 23, 2014, 03:13:15 PMNo. At 5'9+ she's be half a foot taller than me on some level no matter how hot I couldn't do it. After LL then hell yeah less than 6in is acceptable. It's not that I'd be threatened by her height or something like I know some guys are  but I've always had an idea of what I want in a gf or wife. That image has always involved me being least tall enough to have her wear heels and crap and not be taller than me so no.

Wtf? Really?

I'm not 5'8" and below but I'd do it. The tall gene is dominant so if you had a son, he'd probably grow up to be tall!

you first need to realize women like height in men because it gives a sense, yes a SENSE of protection, it has nothing to do with fighting ability, its just a perception, a really strong one

 a fat chick makes you disgusted, a short man makes a girl feel pity for him, being fat alters your face and body which is the worst a women can get, being short is really bad but your face remains the same

I completely agree.

also the 50th percentile of a 6"0 man will weigh a lot more than the 50th percentile of a 5"7 man, and weight = power. so women recognize that height is a strong correlating factor for power and strength.

if you analyse the statistics it would be something along the lines of 80% of 6"0 men weight more than all of the 5"7 mens weights. women recognize this.

also either way it does not even matter who is stronger (tall or short), because humans are pack animals, and taller men get greater social power and greater distribution of the resources. even if a man is weaker he will have other men who will fight with him if he has social power, and social power is given to taller individuals.

women are not dumb. they see all of this.

Then we must ask ourselves why the perception exists, and also why the perception exists in some areas but not others. For example, if you claim that women like tall men because they are bigger males, thus giving women a sense of protection, then why do women like thin, weak-looking men? For example, women do like Ryan Gosling or Brad Pitt (especially his portrayal in fight club), both of whom are 6'0 tall men, but neither man has a strong, muscular, and powerful body. IF women like bigger men whom give them a sense of protection, then why aren't Ronnie Coleman, Mariusz Pudzianowski, and Brian Shaw sex gods? Why don't women drool over the men in the WSM? Instead of preferring bigger mates, they prefer small, yet tall, toned mates. Therefore, we can determine that this preference for taller men out of feeling "more protected" must neither be rational nor an evolutionary-born preference. After all, evolution would likely outline a female preference for the Brian Shaws and Pudzianowskis of the world, not the Ryan Goslings or Johnny Deps. But, since that isn't what is seen, we must conclude that it is not evolution that is strictly guiding female preferences anymore.

Power, not strength. And the only reason that the association with power exists is because of the societal-born height preference.

There would be only a marginal reason for evolution to subscribe a preference for taller men among people.

Yeah. Why the wtf reaction? It's my preference would I date or screw one? Yeah but I'd never see myself ending up with a woman that height. But hey stranger things have happened

you got it wrong, but your examples were spot on, there are 2 factors which decide if we like a person or not, eye and feelings, for eye they're good looking and tall enough, as for feelings they play characters therefore they show deep traits and they live an interesting life (actor), if you add good looking and deep emotions it makes women interested in them to know more about them.

as for body builders, their body are exaggerated to the point that it overshadows their personality and everything else, women either want to fall in love or have sex, which I find hard to connect bodybuilders with these two.

as you see it may be unfair to some of you but its always been about perception, which is why its irrational, you can't be rational with feelings and with a human being made 99% off feelings aka women
also to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about, Have you ever been in a situation were 1-2 women started talking good about a guy and the other women started liking the guy too? If you hang out with female friends you see a lot of these

Hmmmm, I suppose me having aspergers is going to make it very hard to understand this irrational emotions perspective. While I am still driven by emotions, I am far more cold and calculating than the average person. Usually, if I can't logically justify an impulse or emotion, I simply disregard it.
