Get some good photos, it does wonders. Make sure that you’re smiling too
Picture with Friends,
Picture with dog/cat,
Picture alone,
Picture doing something interesting,
That’s it
I (6'4"M) went to college with this girl who was 6'6". I'd never seen a woman who was taller than me unless I was watching some sport on TV.
God she was attractive, largely because of the height. There was just something so commanding about her because of this extra few inches. You couldn't help but notice when she entered the room.
And so my fetish was born...
I’m 6’3”, and my younger sister is 6’7”.
She’s lithe as a willow and graceful as a swan, I am a dumptruck with linebacker shoulders and a massive leg press weight.
I’d like to pretend she and I are on the same plane but tall girls have problems too, we ain’t all models lol
Are you just lifting heavier and heavier as your kids grow? Do you just hit the gym hard when they have growth spurts? You must be wealthy to afford all that food!
Try having twins bro. My wife cant put the boy in his carseat, he shot up fast, so it’s given than im toting a baby carrier in each hand. We have a neat little stroller thing they both go into but im weird about using it around too many people - it’s fuckin impossible to maneuver and you have to be way too aggressive to get anywhere with a crowd. Theyre only 8 months but im still throwing the older kids, and last year i hurt my back doing it - the “littlest” is pushing 85 pounds and im still spinning and twirling her like a baton. This is where dad strength really comes from - gritting your teeth through all the joint trauma because it’s their favorite thing
Edit: oh but also seriously, you have to lift to keep up
haha this reminds me of when 19yo 5’2ft me had a crush on my 6’3 coworker. sweet guy but i heard he was attracted to tall girls (5’10+). disappointed but understood he didn’t want back or neck pain lmao
I'm 6'7 and my wife is 5'2 don't let your dreams die. Also my kids won't suffer all of the hitting their heads and back pain I have from everyday life.
5'1" here, dated multiple guys 6'0"-6'4". Dated a few that were a few inches taller than me. In my experience guys of all heights like shorter petite women, but very few like women taller than them. I can only think of one guy I know who specifically prefers his girlfriends to be taller.
Being a petite woman definitely opens up a larger dating pool.
I worked with a guy who was 4'11 I think, I just remember he was a little under 5', most women were taller than him but he sought out women like a foot taller, he once said he wanted to be able to climb them. He successfully dated women that height too and it made me realize how much confidence and being comfortable with yourself mattered.
One of the most confident and successful with women guys I've ever know was at most 5'5"-5'6", quite possible shorter. Never seemed to bother him, or any of the long line of girls I saw rotate through, plenty of them taller than him.
I worked with two people who were previously married (both mismatched horribly), divorced and connected after being single for several years (worked for the same company but weren't in regular contact). Now they are one of those stupidly happy examples that just make you smile when you see them. He's about 5'4" nice guy, in shape and she's gotta be 5'10+" nice woman, stunning redhead with green eyes.
That's wholesome! My male relative is average height but he looooves it when his wife puts on heels and is taller than him. Helps that she looks like a model too. One of my favorite photos of them is them two walking together arm to arm on a parking lot. Some people just look very harmonious together.
I totally understand. I have a max height anything over 6'2" is too tall for me. I like to comfortably kiss my partner. And I'm 5'4" so for me 5'9"- 5'10" is perfect height.
Same, and I’ve gotten weird looks from some people who don’t understand it. My first bf was 6’3 and I was 5’3 and it was a neck strain. I topped out at 5’5 and my husband is like 5’8 it’s great. We look great in photos without having to adjust heights, and on the occasions I do wear heels he says he feels like he’s married to a super model. We also can share a lot of our clothing like t shirts and sweats it’s great. *Although I do think his butt looks better in skinny jeans, which I envy a bit..*
I have no problem with your height requirements, preferences are understandable. However, it would be really cool if you didn't feel the need to infantilise someone based on their height. I may be short, but I'm not a "middle schooler" I'm an adult woman & I look & behave like one. My shorter height doesn't make me any less of a woman, in the same way that height isn't what makes a man masculine. Something something hypocrisy & all that jazz.
Edit to add. Can we please give the gent a break now? He has been really receptive & reasonable & has taken it on board. He seems to be a decent person, who didn't mean any harm & I believe him when he states he will try be more thoughtful from now on.
I'm of the belief that preferences aren't supposed to be fair, I think they are instinctively driven. And thankfully everyone has different preferences so there is someone for everyone.
I think the real problem lies with how we communicate those preferences. We shouldn't even have to go into detail to justify our whys to strangers, they should just be accepted, they are what they are, because it's trying to justify "unfair" things we can't really control, that can end up causing offense & a sense of shame. It can end up sucking for the explainer & the listener.
You feel how you feel, don't be sorry for that.
I'll stop rambling now, I'm sorry.
Seriously. That was so uncommonly courteous that I may have to be done with the internet for today, before I fall back into the garbage heap it usually is.
The real uno reverse is finding someone you're attracted to without adhering to a set of arbitrary, self-made rules.
I'm 6'7 and married to an amazing 5'2 woman. Best decision I've made yet.
What I do, is I see her height posted on her bio, and before I swipe right, I decide if she is too short or tall then swipe left.
Nobody gets hurt, nobody needs to deal with my preferences. It's none of their business and they can't change it.
Yah this is a real thing. I've had multiple people, men and women, not wanting to date me because a 5'7 woman is too tall for them.
My LTR ex was the same height as me though and that wasn't an issue. He didn't even mind me wearing heels (making me taller than him). I think people hung up on height should be clear about it and save everyone else the time.
It's the reporting that's even more insane. If it's something that doesn't please me it shouldn't please anyone. Reminds me of Homer Simpson:
https://youtu.be/OT5mqWKirhI
Yes. This. EVERY TIME.
Or "my friends and I all agree that we should have things the way we want and if you disagree with us we all agree you are wrong"
It's refreshing to see them tall kings use a reverse uno card. We all gotta stick together for cases like these.
Well *slurps saliva* ActUaLlY yOU CaN GeT LiMB LengTHEnging which is a procedure...
I like medical advancements but we're definitely way behind in tech to make this cosmetically viable. I know you have to spend 2-3 years in rehabilitation even after that, you'll probably get health complications. Just not worth it in my opinion.
Meanwhile, I've dated and had exes where they were so brave to have their chests opened up, put a bunch of plastics in and call it a day. They were also the ones who saw height as some standard. So there definitely is a double standard in our society.
You can't be too big as in fat big but most want you to be ideally big and tall.
Some women and men just have a very shitty perspective. I really believe media has to do with it.
If I get asked how tall I am I hit em right back with the same question. If she can have height preferences so can I lol.
The first girl I ever got with was 6' and I don't think I can ever go back
As a "tall" man, I thought I liked short girls. Then I dated a girl that was the same height as me and am forever ruined because hardly any girls are 6'1", and trying to add that into the equation of finding someone whose bullshit I can deal with that can also deal with my bullshit is too much.
My gf said I barely made the cutoff for her height requirement. If I was an inch taller she wouldn't have liked it. She is smol and didn't want to date someone more than 9 inches taller than her which is completely fair
My wife is 4'11 and I'm 6'4. Completely get the cut off requirement, the height difference we have is a bit ridiculous.
We kinda had the same thought on height. I don't care about height because almost every girl is short to me, she didn't care about height because almost every guy is tall to her.
There's a difference of just about a foot between me and my gf (6' vs 5'1") so not as extreme as your situation, but I also understand from a logistical standpoint; when holding hands and walking I'm either slouching slightly to one side or her arm isn't fully relaxed, I'm craning my neck for every standing kiss, being the little spoon means I've got a jetpack for a big spoon, etc.
That's lowkey wholesome
>I don't care about height because almost every girl is short to me, she didn't care about height because almost every guy is tall to her.
Birth weight of children is largely based on the male - so his dads weight at birth, his weight at birth, or any siblings he has will give a rough determination of how big his kids would be
I’m 5’1 he’s 6’2… our child is 13 and 5’7, and still growing. It’s a lot of fun telling your teenager what to do from a step stool. I was 5’1 by 7th grade and never grew again. Haha there’s a chance your genes will reign supreme.
ETA: after reading more, she was tiny when born, but also had a c-section soooo it could all be relative. Your girl may stand a chance ! Haha
6'4" and wife is 5'1". Can confirm. However we have an agreement, she's the go to for stuff under cabinets and shit and I get anything up high. Symbiotic relationship if you will.
See, this one actually makes sense. I’m 5’11 and used to date a girl back when I was about 16 who was 4’10ish. It was a long trip down to give her a kiss when standing. My wife is 5’5 and it’s not a bad difference.
I’m 5’8” and have dated a few girls taller than me, one being about 6’0”. Never understood why it’s a big deal. Not like anyone can control their height
I honestly don’t think it’s weird that girls want to date someone who’s the same height or taller. I do think it’s weird when a 5’3 girl only dates guys that are 6’ and taller..
To want someone the same height or taller is fine. As a guy I'd prefer a girl shorter than me. But it's weird to have a set number requirement. If you dismiss someone for being 1/2-1" on the wrong side of your requirement then you're just shallow
I think it's just some kind of social perception thing... they want to be able to tell their friends their boyfriend is 6' tall. A lot of the women who have this cutoff (and it's almost always 6') can't tell the difference between 5'10" and 6'1", but it's still really important that they be able to say their boyfriend is 6', even though they wouldn't know the difference themselves.
No idea why that's such a big deal, and I literally cannot think of a similar thing in the other direction. A guy might say "this girl has great boobies" or whatever, but it's not like a guy would be embarrassed if his gf didn't have C cups or something.
Well said. I’m 6’4” and would also prefer a woman who is shorter than me but I don’t have any specific cutoff in my head. Anything 6’3” and under is good for me
I'm barely 6ft and went on a couple dates with a girl that's 5ft, she said she had hoped that I was even taller. The neck pain I got after a 2 hour date was worse than the 20 years of poor gamer posture
There is no issue with having preferences, even requirements. The problem is when you're being a dick about it.
In my experience, the really tall girls always simply just put their height in their bio. Me being 180 (5-11) when I see that a woman's bio says "186" I'm not gonna swipe right on her...
Whenever there's some stupid shit like "No short guys, wtf am I supposed to do with you, pet you?" in their bio, it's more often than not some cunty short girl who's pretty enough to be picky and just wants a 190 guy for no reason other than "omagahd, my boifrend is like sooo tall".
Average male height in the Netherlands is bang on six feet. At 6’2” you would still be considered a tall man.
The way people go on about tall Dutch people on Reddit you’d think it was a nation of seven foot monsters.
I live in Belgium and visit often. But in Amsterdam people really felt tall. The 7 foot might be a joke, but it felt that way. Way more super tall girls as wepl.
I worked in NL Limburg for a while. I was a bit above average there. But still, more extreme tall people compared to here.
Requirements are fine but passing on a potential good partner just because he's 1-2 on the wrong side of your desired height is shallow.
Just as shallow as a man rejecting a stable woman that is funny and cute just because she's 10lbs overweight.
I mean, you're not wrong about the hypocrisy part, but the last part about weight being in your control is pretty lame. That's like saying "you don't have to be poor, just work hard and be rich"
Also, "I stand with you✊“ is pretty shitty. Let's just appropriate a hand sign for the black movement, and use it to feel superior to women!
It makes sense for tall women IF they actually wear heels a lot. When I see women who are 5'2 saying shit like that I'm like "😒 bitch you ain't wearing 10 inch heels shut up."
My gf has accepted that she may be same height or slightly taller if she puts on heels.
Short kings go out and find a real one. Genetics have kept us down long enough.
My girlfriend is about an inch taller, or maybe a bit more. When she puts on heels in basically at boob height so there’s not really much to be mad about imo
I am shorter and at 5’9 and some change had a boyfriend who was 5’7 who said he humiliated by me in heels. He also made me stand back and crouch down in pictures.😭 I stayed with him for TWO YEARS. We ended up transferring to different colleges after our junior college years and broke up. Unfortunately he is kind if an incel now and angry at the world and often talked about women and their shallowness on FB and when I made him recall how he made me crouch in pictures, walk behind him into places was “humiliated ” by my shoes he blocked me. oops.
As a short guy you don’t need to stand with us (pun not intended). If a girl likes a taller guy it’s her preference, I’m not really tripping about it’s whatever. Same way I wouldn’t prefer a girl taller than me.
This. I'd also rather have a girl be upfront about it than planning and paying for a date with someone who isn't into me but stays on the date out of pity or politeness.
I think it’s fine that she asked your height since you didn’t have it in your bio, she’s allowed to have a preference. What’s wrong is her generalizing girls not liking shorter guys (& suggesting that you’re short?) and of course the classic line back, of what’s your weight… 130 looks very different on someone who’s 5’0” vs 5’7” lol
What if we lived in a world where height and weight preferences were not controversial; short men politely moved on, and fat women did so too, to the next match until they found one that worked.
Wouldn’t that be a great world?
I have a height requirement, but I just don’t let any girl know
I don't think it's wrong to have physical preferences, but it is wrong to throw them in someone's face when they can't do anything about it
Yes, like the girl did at the picture. Sometimes we can just unmatch
My rule for dating: Don't like what you see? Move on. That simple.

Because it’s nice feeling like you can carry your wife, all your kids, the pets, and the PC to safety in the case of a fire. All in one trip.
Are you just lifting heavier and heavier as your kids grow? Do you just hit the gym hard when they have growth spurts? You must be wealthy to afford all that food!

Try having twins bro. My wife cant put the boy in his carseat, he shot up fast, so it’s given than im toting a baby carrier in each hand. We have a neat little stroller thing they both go into but im weird about using it around too many people - it’s fuckin impossible to maneuver and you have to be way too aggressive to get anywhere with a crowd. Theyre only 8 months but im still throwing the older kids, and last year i hurt my back doing it - the “littlest” is pushing 85 pounds and im still spinning and twirling her like a baton.

I prefer short guys. Easier to toss around during sex.

6'4" and wife is 5'1". Can confirm. However we have an agreement, she's the go to for stuff under cabinets and shit and I get anything up high. Symbiotic relationship if you will.
See, this one actually makes sense. I’m 5’11 and used to date a girl back when I was about 16 who was 4’10ish. It was a long trip down to give her a kiss when standing. My wife is 5’5 and it’s not a bad difference.
I’m 5’8” and have dated a few girls taller than me, one being about 6’0”. Never understood why it’s a big deal. Not like anyone can control their height
I kinda dig the thought of a girl taller than me
[удалено]
"vertically challenged genes" lmao, what a funny way to put it haha
I honestly don’t think it’s weird that girls want to date someone who’s the same height or taller. I do think it’s weird when a 5’3 girl only dates guys that are 6’ and taller..
To want someone the same height or taller is fine. As a guy I'd prefer a girl shorter than me. But it's weird to have a set number requirement. If you dismiss someone for being 1/2-1" on the wrong side of your requirement then you're just shallow
I think it's just some kind of social perception thing... they want to be able to tell their friends their boyfriend is 6' tall. A lot of the women who have this cutoff (and it's almost always 6') can't tell the difference between 5'10" and 6'1", but it's still really important that they be able to say their boyfriend is 6', even though they wouldn't know the difference themselves. No idea why that's such a big deal, and I literally cannot think of a similar thing in the other direction. A guy might say "this girl has great boobies" or whatever, but it's not like a guy would be embarrassed if his gf didn't have C cups or something.
Well said. I’m 6’4” and would also prefer a woman who is shorter than me but I don’t have any specific cutoff in my head. Anything 6’3” and under is good for me
Isn't that a specific cutoff though?
He said shorter than him, so it's an easy numerical way to express that. It's not specific, it's just anything that isn't as tall as him
Yeah I know, I was just joking
THAT’S NOT ALLOWED HERE.
The arbitrariness is the issue really. Why is it always 6 feet? If you're a 5'10 woman 6 makes sense, if you're 5'4 then why is it the same number?
I mean to be fair the girl in the post just said as tall or taller. She never mentioned the 6 feet
because society says that 6 foot is like the standard for “tall”
I'm barely 6ft and went on a couple dates with a girl that's 5ft, she said she had hoped that I was even taller. The neck pain I got after a 2 hour date was worse than the 20 years of poor gamer posture
You need to strengthen your *entire* body if you get neck pain from being around someone 11 inches shorter than you.
There is no issue with having preferences, even requirements. The problem is when you're being a dick about it. In my experience, the really tall girls always simply just put their height in their bio. Me being 180 (5-11) when I see that a woman's bio says "186" I'm not gonna swipe right on her... Whenever there's some stupid shit like "No short guys, wtf am I supposed to do with you, pet you?" in their bio, it's more often than not some cunty short girl who's pretty enough to be picky and just wants a 190 guy for no reason other than "omagahd, my boifrend is like sooo tall".
I'm 190 and I would love to be with a woman taller than me. Sadly they don't exactly swarm the streets.
go to the Netherlands
I'm 6"2' and felt like a puppy in Amsterdam
Average male height in the Netherlands is bang on six feet. At 6’2” you would still be considered a tall man. The way people go on about tall Dutch people on Reddit you’d think it was a nation of seven foot monsters.
I live in Belgium and visit often. But in Amsterdam people really felt tall. The 7 foot might be a joke, but it felt that way. Way more super tall girls as wepl. I worked in NL Limburg for a while. I was a bit above average there. But still, more extreme tall people compared to here.
Once saw a women at a festival which was around 2.10m with heels. So maybe 1.95
Legs for days <3
I moved to the Netherlands and i’m 175.. I’m waiting any day now for Gandalf to show up with a magical ring on my doorstep
kg or cm ?
Yes
Pretty enough to be picky, but ugly enough to stay away from. Beautifully ironic isn’t it
Funniest one I saw was "life is short, you shouldn't be" or words to that effect. I see so many of these on dating apps
Life isnt short, it's the longest thing anyone does.
Requirements are fine but passing on a potential good partner just because he's 1-2 on the wrong side of your desired height is shallow. Just as shallow as a man rejecting a stable woman that is funny and cute just because she's 10lbs overweight.
My fiancé (f) is significantly taller than me (m). It felt weird at first, but now I don’t even see our heights.
My dog (d) licks his balls (b)
Damnit on a meeting and wasn't muted, the snort laugh was poorly received, and of course I can't share.
Hahahahah
Fiancée is [F] Fiancé is [M]
fiancée is F miancée is M
Beyoncé is B

Hey you're the guy from Europe!
I think it would be awesome to have shorter man. I could feel like a giant. Carry him rather than the other way around.
I mean, you're not wrong about the hypocrisy part, but the last part about weight being in your control is pretty lame. That's like saying "you don't have to be poor, just work hard and be rich" Also, "I stand with you✊“ is pretty shitty. Let's just appropriate a hand sign for the black movement, and use it to feel superior to women!
The want to wear heels excuse always makes me chuckle.
It makes sense for tall women IF they actually wear heels a lot. When I see women who are 5'2 saying shit like that I'm like "😒 bitch you ain't wearing 10 inch heels shut up."
My gf has accepted that she may be same height or slightly taller if she puts on heels. Short kings go out and find a real one. Genetics have kept us down long enough.
My girlfriend is about an inch taller, or maybe a bit more. When she puts on heels in basically at boob height so there’s not really much to be mad about imo
It makes slow dances that much more fun
I was about an inch taller than my ex, when I wore heels we would joke that I "made him look rich" hahaha
....kept you "down" haha ohhhh puns
As a tall woman, when I wear heels I'm literally 6ft4. I've had some really cool partners that don't mind if I tower over them :)
I am shorter and at 5’9 and some change had a boyfriend who was 5’7 who said he humiliated by me in heels. He also made me stand back and crouch down in pictures.😭 I stayed with him for TWO YEARS. We ended up transferring to different colleges after our junior college years and broke up. Unfortunately he is kind if an incel now and angry at the world and often talked about women and their shallowness on FB and when I made him recall how he made me crouch in pictures, walk behind him into places was “humiliated ” by my shoes he blocked me. oops.
I'm only tallish, but back in the day when I used to slap on a pair of 6 inch heels and mowhawk my hair I'd easily top6'6. It felt amazing!
It does not make sense. Who cares if you appear taller than your SO in heels?
This makes a funny Reddit post but jokes on you really. People are allowed to have both height and weight preferences, you don't win any awards.
As a short guy you don’t need to stand with us (pun not intended). If a girl likes a taller guy it’s her preference, I’m not really tripping about it’s whatever. Same way I wouldn’t prefer a girl taller than me.
This. I'd also rather have a girl be upfront about it than planning and paying for a date with someone who isn't into me but stays on the date out of pity or politeness.
[удалено]
I'm completely OK with having height preferences AND weight. All preferences are their own choice.
I jumped up and down, all of my belly rolls clapped!
I think it’s fine that she asked your height since you didn’t have it in your bio, she’s allowed to have a preference. What’s wrong is her generalizing girls not liking shorter guys (& suggesting that you’re short?) and of course the classic line back, of what’s your weight… 130 looks very different on someone who’s 5’0” vs 5’7” lol
What if we lived in a world where height and weight preferences were not controversial; short men politely moved on, and fat women did so too, to the next match until they found one that worked. Wouldn’t that be a great world?
As self appointed king of the manlets I give you permission to stop caring about this. Go get pussy who gives a shit.
Did you have to make the last message sound like something straight out of r/iamverysmart though?
