I will admit, I LOVE a tall man...the taller the better.

However, height is just a bonus. If you don't have anything else to offer why would anyone want to date you?

Women aren't going to flock to you because your tall...they may notice you but you need to have something worth sticking around for.

^^ So true. Height is a bonus, not a requirement.

I've known some "mandatory height >6'0" gals which might be what the OP is somewhat referring to.

However, at least a couple were also "mandatory job status", "mandatory political views", "mandatory ethnicity"......so many mandatorys that they could narrow a major metro area down to about 3 datable guys which were too busy winning the superbowl and commanding shuttle missions to date them.

More seriously though, if the OP isn't getting the dates he wants then he needs to work on two things:
1) Is there something wrong with where\how he is looking.
2) Address areas where he can improve like exercise, dress, communication skills or whatever.

being tall is an very attrctive trait to have but i am not going to date you just because you are tall. if that were the case tall men would be surrounded by women which is obv not the case here

in other words there is much mre to a person than height weight & look that a lot of people on this forum are soo obessed about

look at people as people not barbie and ken dolls

You've been given some pretty solid points in this thread, OP.


Women DO prefer taller guys.

Given a choice between a 5'10" guy who's good looking, articulate, reasonably successful, compassionate, polite and outgoing, and a 6'4" guy who exhibits all the same qualities, women will choose the taller guy (as I said: "Given a choice").


However, between a 5'10" guy who's all that and a 6'4" guy who's barely any of that, they'll take 5'10" and just WISH he was taller.

Some women do not like tall men. I'm 5ft2in, why would I want a 6ft4in guy? I'd need a footstool to be able to kiss him.

I prefer guys around 5ft7in to 5ft10in. They don't make me feel like a dwarf.

I hear you on that. I was watching an almost 7' tall guy slow dancing with a 5 footer and my back was aching just looking at them. I could only imagine sex with a big height disparity: "Hey Hon, you got some lint in your navel, I'll get it for you "
