I worked in a shoe store when I was young, and I always wondered why tall women wore such tall heels. Their feet are usually larger so the taller the heel the smaller the foot looks because it elongates the foot making it look like an extension of the leg. I mean, this is just what I was told so take it with a grain of salt. lol.

I think it mainly optical. Tall ladies often have long lags and bigger feet. So the overall effect of heels is much stronger. Even if the heels are relatively lower. And they may not be. I watched my daughters go all through that and was always amazed that hey could and would walk in those things. I would personally have been scared to death to ever try to walk in such things.

And I have even seen my daughters run in them. Mind blowing.

In general, my go to physical type for women is: short and "stacked"
or short,
or "stacked".

Not to say that I haven't been attracted to those women taller and/or slimmer.

I like women of all heights, short and tall. I am 5'7 and would date women who are over 6 feet. They could even wear heels and I would feel no insecurity whatsoever.

Well, many years ago, I signed up for eHarmony, and I was told that their studies showed that only 3% of men would date a woman of my height, which is six feet. So, there's the answer according to one source!

Ahhh too bad we did not meet in an earlier phase of life. I ended up a widower in my mid 40s when my first wife passed unexpectedly and quickly. Left me with 3 between 16 and 22. Try dating with three ladies of that age group in the home.

But I always liked tall ladies. Simple more to them. Why not get the large size?

That surprises me. I would have guessed the majority of men would date a woman your height regardless of their height. My impression was only women care about height when it comes to dating.

Wow, that's unfortunate. Did you find a basketball player to date?

There are lids for all pots.
Sign me up for the same. In my opinion, nothing beats a sexy brown-haired woman, preferably one with olive skin and/or dark-ish features (brown eyes, dark hair). The tall Scandinavian look (think Brigitte Nielsen) has never appealed to me. I'm more of a fan of the Salma Hayek or Leah Remini look. Plus, the aging process is generally much kinder to darker-hued women than it is to the pale -- so the looks tend to stick around much longer in the non-Scandinavian group.

And mine was the opposite. I was this height at 14, and I never dated in high school.
