Are men intimidated by taller women? (marry, kissing, call, romantic)

[Subie2]

I dunno, I try to ignore how short a dude is, but it's easier said than done. It's one thing for him to be a bit shorter....it's another when I have to squat down to kiss him in my heels! I'm 6 ft tall barefoot and love stilettos....so rocking my 5-6inch heels....you see there's some times when it's just too much even for me! And all but 2 of my boyfriends have been shorter!

I'm right at 5'10" myself and I tend to be a beacon for shorter men. I've dated them, no problem. Sometimes it can be awkward, but I've had some great dates with shorter men.

I say go for it.

I think it totally stems from a lack of confidence on her part. She's not strong enough to challenge the height rules of the status quo and date a shorter guy. Her femininity is contingent upon being with a taller guy primarily influenced by society's depiction of the taller woman/shorter man couple. Odd and obtuse. Even creepy and fetish-strange so I've been told.

Her lack of confidence soon turns into gross disinterest or dislike. The perverse and unscientific justification of short guys being inferior expedites this further. It's not uncommon for a tall woman to suddenly feel shame or embarrassment after realizing they had feelings for a man the public tells her she cannot date. If her friends are embarrassed for her being seen with him, it won't take much for that embarrassment to become a cancer in the relationship. If they don't want him in the group, they will convince her that the little guy doesn't belong either.

Funny how it's never odd, creepy or strange for a woman who's less than 5'0 dating a guy who's well beyond 6'0.

No.

BOYS are.

I'm not intimidated by any women. Period.

Nor should any male be. After all, they ARE the weaker sex.

It's just that I don't find tall women (say, over 5-10) attractive.

Just seems like they got this sorta masculine edge that doesn't appeal to me.

Having said that, I sure notice a lot more tall women these days.

Back in the 1980s or so, if a woman was over 5-10 she turned heads.

Nowadays, I reckon I see a dozen women that tall in the course of my day. And even six-footers are not noteworthy.

Some scientists and health professionals say that the reason for this is the growth hormones that are now especially commonplace in milk and meat.

Seems women are affected by this more than men, since they carry more body fat, which provides lodging/distribution in their bodies.

The weaker sex? Speak for yourself.

I'm all woman, I've NEVER been mistaken for a man in any way even though I'm 6'1.

No. First of all I'm 6'0, so there's not too many women taller than me to begin with.

He said "over 5 10"...I guess to really clarify 5'10" is his cut off limit. Maybe incase his wife sees this.

She does sound a bit confused, doesn't she?

What's a DrummerBoy?? You mean from the xmas song?

Sorry to say you have the wrong person. But a tall fiddle player does sound interesting.
