    Not true of all women. (One of my favorite teachers from high school married a man who was a good three inches shorter than she was. She was 5'10" and he was 5'7"). But for those whom it is an issue its a combination of biological and social conditioning. Without getting into the why-and-wherefores of "Evolutionary Psychology"..... Men---at the lowest common denominator----tend to look at women as "sex objects". So we look for signs of youth, health, and "good genes" for any children (youth and beauty). Women---at the lowest common denominator----tend to look at men as "success objects". They tend to look for signs of STATUS and power...before they look for signs of youth and beauty/handsomness. Men with status tend to acquire more resources and power than men without it. So they have more that they can give to children---their children---then men without it. ...and men with status tend to be TALLER than men without it. The average height of a man of Generation X is 5'10". But the average height of both corporate CEOs and Presidents of the United States is 6'2"....or FOUR inches taller than average. (:"Alpha" males) So women find shorter men less appealing for biological reasons.....but also for social reasons. Because women have their own social pecking order, and a woman's boyfriend or husband----and how "eligible" (status) he is viewed by other women in her social circle can affect her own status. And being seen has having given yourself to a "low status" male can knock one down the pecking order (That's why every guy in soap operas or other entertainment geared towards a female audience are always wealthy or other high-status males). I got to see this play out in my own life about 15 years ago. A professional college married her high school sweetheart. She went on to get two degrees, while he "just" worked at a local auto manufacturing plant. But he was a good, salt-of-the-earth guy. He worked every day. He helped pay for his wife's eductation. He also shouldered an unusual amount of the child care responsibilities so that she could pursue her dream. Super solid-citizen. Played by society's rules....and then some. ....but it was VERY interesting to see how differently guys vs women in his wife's circle of professional acquaintances treated him. To us guys....he was just one of the boys. He got his ass out of bed everyday. Went to work. Supported his family. Honored his responsibilities. He was okay with us, and we treated him with the respect he had earned. But OMFG, where the women...especially the wives of some of the guys---ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE to him. They saw him as a low-status, "unworthy" guy who had "married above himself".....and they didn't lose any opportunities to show him in a host of catty, passive-aggressive little ways just how little respect they had for him. Never stopping to consider that his LABOR helped to PAY for the education (his wife had) that was now being used to beat him over the head with. Or that he was PRECISELY the kind of "supportive" male that so many educated women claim that they want.....but unconsciously reject when they are presented with the reality face-to-face. TLDR: Don't let an insane world tell you who you are or what you are worth. If someone rejects you----even though you are kind and respectful to them----their behavior says more about them than it does about you. That rejection is about how they've been programmed by their life situation, as they sleepwalk their way through the world. That person is doing you a favor by rejecting you, because they are telling you UP FRONT that having a relationship with THEM isn't worth YOUR time. Thank them, and move on. The RIGHT person for you will find you....and they'll be grateful to have you.

      • I think you need to stop use it social media. If someone doesn’t date you because you’re not tall enough, leave. That person isn’t worth your time for being so shallow.

                  • Just listen to TMG’s Short King and you’re set. I’m still learning, cause I’m going through the same times, but like high school girls are honestly just as stereotypical as the adults who went before us say they are. From my experience, (which is very lacking FYI), be you. Try to get that “I care what people think about me” out of your head, when it’s irrelevant of course. You’ll “attract your tribe” over time, just try not to be as salty as I am about your height 😅

                  • Easy way to circumvent that rule. 1. Don't be a total loser. Not hard. 2. Don't give a crap about anything she says. Be as boringly dismissive as possible. Women [i]hate[/i] that. To them that's a loss. And the best part is, whatever they value themselves to be worth, the less you appear to be worth the more annoyed they are. Funny observations of watching people flirt. It's funny how predictable people can behave.

                      Why do guys have a fascination with women shorter than them, but hate anyone taller than them? [b][u]Answer:[/u][/b] It's not a universal thing. You're just hanging out in the wrong crowd. [b][u]Slightly deeper analysis:[/u][/b] (With thought experiment!) [spoiler]Men are on average taller than women. The average woman is 160cm (around 5'3"). The average man is 171 (around 5'7"). Only about 10% of men are shorter than the average woman. That means that even if height were not a factor, on average 90% of the men a woman is attracted to would be taller than her. For taller women that number would go down but for shorter women that number would go up. As a result, women being attracted to men taller than themselves has been normalized. Being attracted to something outside the average (or "norm") is often the territory of a kink or fetish, which are often frowned upon by society. And society does play a role in what we find attractive. It's why standards of beauty change over time. So a woman dating a man shorter than herself may feel as though she is being judged by those around her for having a fetish and may subconsciously become explicitly not attracted to shorter men as a way to protect herself from potential ostracization. The same may be true of a man dating a taller woman. So let's assume there's an even distribution: 33.3% = short fetish 33.3% = don't care 33.3% = tall fetish A short man is locked out of the tall fettish group (66.6% remaining). Of the "don't care" group, let's say half are influenced by societal norms (49.95% remaining). Of the remaining "don't care" group, there's only a 10% chance a guy the girl likes is shorter than her by coincidence (34.965% remaining) Now, not every woman is attracted to every guy. So let's say there's a 50% chance she'd be attracted to him if height weren't a factor (17.4825% remaining) And, of course, unless he has an [url=https://t7.rbxcdn.com/e6b77ebc49b537ec76a6ca71ccae78d8]extreme thirst[/url], he's not attracted to every woman. Let's say 50%. (8.74115% remaining) So, about 1/10 pairings would be between a shorter man and a taller woman (and only 0.41625%, or 1/200, would be non-fetishistic short male/tall female pairings) [b] [/b] Granted, these numbers are made up (I'd argue the tall/short fetish groups are far less than 33.3% and the number of people influenced by societal norms could easily be higher or lower), but you can see why "shorter man, taller woman" couplings are rare.[/spoiler] The moral of the story? Hedge your bets. Get out there and meet more people! Go get 'em, Tiger!

                    • If there’s one thing I know women want, it’s the most masculine of men. They tend to flock toward the bigger ones. But being charming is also important.
