Oh, but this is C-D, Raena. You have hordes of guys competing to ask you out all the time. All women do. And if you say otherwise, you're lying.

It's because their confidence stems from their height so when they don't have it, they lose it. Short guys find it elsewhere. So height is not an obstacle. This is my explanation for why taller guys (or I'll say some to half) go after small/short women.

The fighting example was a good one. From experience I'll notice taller guys be super aggressive only when there is a sizable gap in height. But as soon as they find someone their approximate height (even a couple inches shorter) their attitudes change. Whereas shorter guys are used to being aggressive with taller people, are not as easily intimidated unless the height difference is dramatic.

it's all relative. short people learn to be short and tall people don't. So when they're made to feel short or even not as tall, it sorta changes their psyche.

Generally I think it's because they may not be confident enough in themselves to face the idea of rejection, or they don't feel like they're attractive

Maybe an outside chance of being called a pervert also.

Items 2 and 3 are neck-at-neck. Item 1 is foremost.
That usually happens in their late 30's-40's when they're washed up.

Oh please

Women grow up and realize that a pretty boy can't make them happy. Too bad most men don't go through the same epiphany.

So, they go after women that they can ALWAYS be dominant over. You'd think more NBA players would be interested in volleyball or WNBA players, but they always seem to marry 5' nothing teeny women.
We, I mean most men, don't like women who want to be/are dominant in any shape and height. The thing is that you have to find a guy whom you would want to dominated by.

Although, it is nice that you 'can't stand' women like me. Sorry if I invade your space
You very well know that I did not mean to be offensive. I was talking about sexual preference and not women in general. I had a GF once wearing size 11 shoes and was really obsessive about it. Just can't do it.

However as a tall guy I don't really like short women. Someone you can easily kiss while standing up is nice

Oh, c'mon. What about cougars?
We all crave beuaty next to us only women have a different idea of sex-appeal that doesn't coincide with commonly understood beauty. Beauty and the beast complex.

IMHO when women are younger they want to be dominated as it gives them security (being taken care of) and when older and already more confident and powerfull, they want to dominate as well.

I don't feel the need to be 'dominated'. I want equal billing in the relationship, I don't want to be dominated nor do I want to dominate. If a guy wants to dominate a woman, it's likely he has control issues and 'd rather not deal with that.

I wear a size 9-1/2 or 10, not big at all, but on a woman who is above 6', size 10+ is perfectly normal. In fact, I've been told my size 10 feet look way to small for my height. A woman with a size 7 foot is going to have slight balance problems, don't you think?

I don't know a single guy who is into 'cougars'. Most are into much, much younger women.

I never wanted to be 'dominated', but maybe I'm one of the weird ones.
