Why short women like really tall guys..

I don't like men too tall.....I'm 5'8"
and while that isn't short, more than 6'0 or 6'1" is too much.

I don't like having my neck straining from looking up at him....

maybe its the feeling of protectiveness short women get from tall guys?

Yeah, like I said in my post..shorter girls probably feel more vulnerable and need someone to "protect them" more, and then combine that with the babies thing, and short girls feel the need for a bigger height difference

And obviously they passed that gene on to you!
 
I'm 6'5" but I don't really dig short girls.

I think it's cause it makes your *bleep* look bigger, comparitvely speaking.

Now I don't need that 😉

Im only kidding. I have dated 2 girls 5'2 or shorter...and took a 4'11 girl to prom (she stood on my shoes when we danced.) This last girl I met at the bar so I didnt know how short she was, but thats the least of my issues. Shes 30 and divorced, and im only 24.
 
me = 5' 6"
husband = 6' 3"
I love it!

The tall children thing doesn't necessarily work out, though.
Our daughter is 5' 2" on a really good day when she's standing extra tall.
Our son is 6' even.

I don't know why you guys are ranking on him... it's not like he did or said something wrong. 😕

Anyway, I laugh at about 75% of asian beliefs. Our generation must prevail! 😉

But I couldn't care less about the height of my kids, I figure if I'm lovin it at 5'3", they'll be just fine 🙂

It may be the same reason that women are attracted more to symmetrical faces.

I've had many short women (4'11"-5'2") tell me this straight up. They want to marry a tall guy so their kids will hopefully be average.

The last time a girl told me this though, I asked, what, so you can water down his good genes?

Me being 6' even, i'd rather have a taller girl, but they're hard to come by when you're chinese. 😛

my fantasy is a 5'10"+ asian woman (I've only meet 3 in my entire life, all taken).

Based on my experience, I've known lots of short girls..that is 5'0-5'2" or so, really dig guys that are 6'0" and over...whereas taller girls at 5'6-5'8" or so are okay with guys just a few inches taller.

You do realize that a 5'8" tall girl is only a few inches shorter than a man 6'0"? Basically, what you're saying is that the relatively tall women don't like shorter guys. Yep, that's probably true.

I don't think it has anything to do with short women wanting tall children though. That's a crazy hypothesis. 😕
 
I'm 1' taller than my wife.

I never digged tall women much. Been with a few....but I always preferred shorter women.

Though it's chore doing it standing up. But I make do.
 
I talked about this with a friend of mine. She said it comes down to the notion that tall guys are stronger...which is stupid. Most tall guys are gangly and weak.

That's not true imho, I've found though that shorter men often develop annoying compensatory habits ie:napeoleon complex.

Both my ex-husbands were under 5ft 10,the height issue wasn't a problem,the idiot factor was🙂
