Pink Cupcakes Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It's not as if she can control her height. Why does it matter to you?
Author Lishy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Of course she cant control her height, the reason I ask is that I have a good friend who is that tall and she is lovely but she never gets chatted up, she stands taller than most men we meet and her confidence is at zero. I am always telling her how wonderful she is as does our other friends but she is getting to a stage that she does not want to go out anymore I am asking here to see what you lot think One guy even said "hey how is the weather up there" and she has had lots of nasty comments in the past ... She was in a toilet in a club and there was a group of girls and as she walked in they all laughed at her! I was not there that night but she was in pieces

I was not there that night but she was in pieces I'm 5'10" and once dated a woman around 6'1"... and hated it. She was nice, and very pretty... but nothing worked. I suppose if she had an amazing personality, or was super witty things may have been different. As juvenile as it sounds... having all your friends shout "thats a huge bitch!" all the time didn't help matters either.
627 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 personnaly I don't find tall girls attractive sorry she would have better luck with guys hat are taller than her, what I think anyway
homersheineken Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It depends. What kind of body does she have? Personality?
amirpc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 This response cracks me up. The truth: It depends. What kind of body does she have? Oh yeah, I guess that sounds too shallow, okay hold on... Personality? FWIW - I'd date 6'2" girl assuming she was attractive and not built like an amazon.
phineas Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Her Rack would be in my face all the time. Just like Wormzer from Revenge of the Nerds. I'm 5'8". A LOT of women are taller than me or the same height. A LOT of women are shorter. It really depends if the woman is bugging & feel uncomfortable standing next to me because their self concious about their height. That bugs me. Otherwise It really doesn't bother me.

FWIW - I'd date 6'2" girl assuming she was attractive and not built like an amazon. Of course it's going to sound shallow! The opening post was based on it!! That's what we're talking about here And then after criticizing for being shallow... FWIW - I'd date 6'2" girl assuming she was attractive and not built like an amazon. Nice
flc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Would I date one? Probably if I was attracted to her, but would I approach her to begin with, probably not. The odds of a women 6' whatever, wanting to date my 5'8" size seems too small for me to bother. I don't see why I guy 6" and taller would be turned off though.
amirpc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Of course it's going to sound shallow! The opening post was based on it!! That's what we're talking about here And then after criticizing for being shallow... Nice lol, I wasn't criticizing you man - I was laughing and agreeing.

I think regardless of the guy's height, we're all attracted to the same height for women most of the women I liked were sometimes as high as my elbow even if the girl is shorter than I am, I still see her as too tall if she were 6 feet and above
Vertex Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I would find a woman that tall to be awesome I'm a bit taller than that myself (~6'3), but it would be fun, I think.
Stockalone Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Is a woman that tall attractive to men? Height and attractiveness are not mutually exclusive. So yes, a woman can definitively be 6'2" and attractive. I do like tall woman though, and I'm 6'2" myself, so a woman who is my height doesn't bother me. I think regardless of the guy's height, we're all attracted to the same height for women I very much doubt that.
amirpc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I very much doubt that. Yeah I agree, I'm attracted to a wide range of women ranging from incredibly short to very tall.
quankanne Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 my best friend in junior high was a tall girl, from a tall family. Though I think she was like 5'8 or so, her little sisters were over 6-foot tall, and both played college basketball – one for Duke, the other for Vanderbilt. Far as I know, they didn't lack for dates (or a husband when the time came), but then again, they were pretty sweet kids.
homersheineken Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 lol, I wasn't criticizing you man - I was laughing and agreeing. I know, that's why I put the dude with the shades
amirpc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I know, that's why I put the dude with the shades Emoticons fail me again, damn you emoticons, damn you!
AD1980 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I think regardless of the guy's height, we're all attracted to the same height for women Ehh i dont know Men are different we like atratctive women no matter the height usually..Women are the goofy ones obessed with just tallness
amirpc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Ehh i dont know Men are different we like atratctive women no matter the height usually..Women are the goofy ones obessed with just tallness I think generally each sex is more obsessed about their insecurities than the other is. Bald guys are more worried about it than women Short guys are more worried about it than women Tall women are more worried about it than guys etc.
Jilly Bean Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Lishy - my Mom is a little under 6'. Married a guy who was a little under that. lol. Almost 50 years married, and she has worn heels through much of their marriage (though she admits to wearing ballet flats on her wedding day - lol). If your friend is that concerned, have her find a tall group. They have them around the world for dating, and she could surround herself with men far taller than herself.
rod_in_gtown Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I guess the question should be expanded, does she mind dating shorter men? In my experience my tall female friends don't want to date someone who is less than 3-5 inches taller than them (e.g, a 5'5" woman won't date a guy shorter than 5'8"). This is true of about 95% of all my female friends. Knowing this, and assuming other men out there know this, they won't talk to a woman who is taller than them because statistically, they're likely to get rejected. And nobody likes to bet against those odds. Now, personally, I find tall women very attractive, my girlfriend is my height (5'11") and I find that super sexy, and I will talk to a woman regardless of their height if she's approachable, if she comes off as standofish or bitchy, then I won't waste my time. Who wants to talk to someone who looks at you like they would bite your head off if you approach them? I had an experience with a woman who I dated who was also my height but had issues with me being shorter.
Lizzie60 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I have a niece who just turned 13 and is already is 6' and tiny-tiny...
Jaytb Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Is a woman that tall attractive to men? Yes there's plenty of women that tall or taller that are quite attractive. Beach volleyball players for instance Don't worry, I'm sure everyone is attractive to at least one person. If she's stuck up and never appears approachable to men, then no one would ask her out. If she appears approachable and nice then some men will ask her out. Or she could ask some guys out. You never know.
AD1980 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I think generally each sex is more obsessed about their insecurities than the other is. Bald guys are more worried about it than women Short guys are more worried about it than women Tall women are more worried about it than guys etc. Proably a fair point but i do think mens lack of height is the #1 physical dealbreaker in the dating world Doesnt mean shorter guys cant get women but all things equal 99% of women would prefer a tall man
