that tiny 3% window of available men who will date a 6'1" woman. .
More B.S. excuses. If a women is attractive, men don't care how tall she is, unless she is freakishly tall.

All the women below are 6'0 or above, you don't think men would date them? JJ problems are not her height.

Maria Sharapova - 6'2



Adriana Karembeu-actress, 6'0




Famke Beumer Janssen -actress, 6'0



Jordin Sparks- 6'0

No idea I've just known a lot of guys who were really really tall over the years. Maybe they gravitate towards me? No idea.

Wow, gorgeous models, who knew?!

I'm average, but tall. I'm not willowy or built like a super model or anything like that. Just an average build who happens to be tall. Sure if I was more attractive it wouldn't be a problem...but I'm not. I'm just tall.

Not just tall, but tattooed and tall. It's just your combination of features results in a smaller pool to choose from, but I don't need to tell you that, just putting it out there for people who aren't aware. You are a unique individual and there will be someone who appreciates that...just harder to find, is all.

Yep, I'm weird and I actually like it

I figured I just need to find someone as weird as I am and it will all come together.

One day, soon after he started dating a new woman, I heard him telling a friend how awesome it was that she was close to his height. He said, 'I can kiss her boobs while f*cking her! I have never been able to do that before!'

So, apparently there are benefits .
It's good to be closer in height to the person you're having sex with. This is why I like shorter men. I have a good friend who is female, 6" tall and a larger girl. She is happily married to a very rich, also tall man. I say this because supposedly all us ladies are after the money. (well, it is true I'd prefer someone with money over someone who didn't have it- that works both ways I'd guess- do you men REALLY want to support a woman?) She's tall and she got the rich guy. Meanwhile my short self is single. You have plenty of time Jet, don't worry. It only takes one good man and I am sure I will find mine. You are very proactive and you will find yours as well because it's half the battle getting out there.

I've had relationships with two guys who were my height, plus or minus an inch or two, no problem.
