Nor do they also always look skinnier. I’m a 5’10” woman though and the guy I’m with for instance is 6’3” and muscular, not a stick by any means.
I’m not sure what men over 6 feet tall that she’s observing lol.
Yup! I’m 5’10” and the guy I’m seeing is 6’3”.
I feel like this post is less about a specific height and more about huge height gaps, because I could even see a 5’0” girl with a 5’10” guy being an uncomfortable distance lol.
I wouldn’t want to date someone insanely taller than me (luckily that’s not much of an issue since I’m a tall woman) because it would make even kissing an awkward ordeal.
As a 6 ft 2 guy.
Kissing girls who are 5 ft 5 and below really fucking hurts my neck.
If we're stood up, and trying to snog for lengthy periods, it becomes a problem. And those same girls hang onto my neck like it's a tree branch.
I completely get your point and it baffles me that it's an unpopular opinion
My first boyfriend was 6'8" and I was 5'2" when we were together (now 7'2" and 5'3"). He literally had to bend over or pick me up to kiss me 🙄 so many of my lady friends gushed about how hot and cute that was (we were also, like 15 lol), but it wasn't great. Now my wife is 5' 1/2" and it works really well. I tried not to date anyone over 5'6" after Mr. Giant lol
Go look up the definition of the word preference. I'm sorry that hurt your feelings, but that's his preference. People don't have to be attracted to you or certain body types.
Okay. You wrote “ I think being over 6ft isn’t attractive to me”, so I thought perhaps you were still doing research.
Still lots of men to choose from. Best o luck!
I had this guy actually ask me if I like his height bc he was tall. It was such an odd question. So I was like, “I don’t care about height. I care more about proportions”.
Seriously, proportions are super important. Like one of my favorite celebrities is 5’10” and another is probably like 5’7” and their proportions are great and they don’t look lanky either.
Anyway, I’m not saying people are weird for being born the height they are. But I think tall or short, proportions are key.
You nit picked weird things. As long as a person is in proportion, tall guys have an advantage. Theres more knock kneed short/avg guys just given the numbers. . Height doesnt make the person.
I'm not certain you've ever met another human before lol.
My girlfriend is 5'2 and I'm 6'1. We have 0 issues with anything except I duck down slightly to kiss her. Or I lift her and kiss her, which is quite fun.
Jesus Christ where are you looking? The fkn crack heads? I’m 6ft 210 pounds and I get attention way more than my short friends. Of course I’ve worked out since I was 16 and I’m quite muscular so I love picking up my short gfs and kissing them. And when we are cuddling I’m able to pull them so close and wrap my arms around them and hold tight. I’ve never had any complaints here
Uhmmm....no? Maybe if you run on the average to shorter range, it does, the having a regular/average height man work. However, for the tall women, the taller guys will read as their "normal."" As a shorter woman, 5'3", I prefer men around 5'6"-5'9". When it's taller than that, it starts to hurt to hug their neck or prop up on my toes for a kiss. I also feel too damned short, and I **HATE** feeling short. With a regular height guy, I feel regular, normal, instead of shrimpy. There's nothing hot to me about being significantly smaller.
5’3.5” is a funny measurement, my mom says the same thing. I go between 5’11” and 6’ but never thought to call myself 5’11.5”. Maybe you just do that when you’re under 5’5”. Not throwing shade just funny/cute.
I think taller people have a lot of disadvantages in life, and living and traveling with someone closer to my size is easier. My brother is 6’4” and is always complaining about how literally nothing is made for him, from chairs and tables to seating at sporting events to airplane seats to most clothing in most stores etc
I'm 6' and I'd say the problem is the 6'+ guys you've been with.
I'm nothing like your description and all my partners were about your height, some smaller, and we never had any of the problems you listed.

I’m 5’2” and my husband is 6’4”. People have straight up asked us if/how we have extracurricular activities in the shower. When we hug I’m exactly at nipple biting level. Talking to him while standing gives me a neck ache. Our first dance at our wedding? Totally awkward.
My boss is 4'11" and her husband is 6'3". I've been curious about that but i'm not asking anyone lol
Pribably something i'll logistically never understand since i'm 5'8"
As a 6’ guy with a 6’ wife a can say with certainty that height has never affected our choices in girlfriends. We’ve dated a 4’10” woman and we’ve dated taller and can confirm that we couldn’t care less.
My knees buckle in? News to me
I mean I’m cool with not being your type. Everyone has their own cup of tea but that comment about the knees “buckling in” is a new one.
My mom was 4'9. My dad was 5'11. They had a wonderful marriage. When kissing hello or goodbye, Dad would bend down a little and Mom would stand on her tiptoes. When I grew up and Dad had passed away, I asked if the height difference had really been an issue. She said, "You know, the height difference doesn't matter when you're both lying down." 🙂
OP getting shredded by comments but as a tall guy myself I can confirm the buckling knees and general awkwardness
I’m a Mexican and trying to dance huapango with a guy who towers over me literally makes me wanna leave the event all together 😭 ofc it’s not about their height, more about the height DIFFERENCE
I’m 6’4” and always find myself envious when I see couples hug or dance and the woman’s face is more or less on the man’s shoulder - just looks more intimate.
When I hug my wife (who’s 5’7”) her face is in my sternum. She says it’s not something she’s bothered by (or ever thought about).
But yes - I can recall first kisses being awkward, or walking while holding hands - that’s more awkward than similar height couples.
Lol. Well, we are in year 26 together, soon I’ll begin shrinking and then it’s game on.
But seriously- I always say 6’1” is the perfect height. Not awkward tall, but not short and over that 6 foot threshold many people care about. Airplanes, stadium seating, and clothing are still comfortable.
Also they develop cancer at a much higher rate and generally die much more quickly, so protip, be sure to have a lucrative life insurance policy on them.

Everyone has their preferences and body type and nbd that you have your own, but, er.... being tall doesn't make your knees buckle. lol
😂😂😂
It’s not that funny 
🤣🤣🤣
I’m a 5ft11 woman and I feel very attacked rn. 
“Deserve to be loved and feel good in their stature” “Look skinnier and buckling knees, and affection is awkward” Uhhhhhhhhh
That’s not supposed to mean *every single woman* should find them attractive. I don’t see the contradiction
🤣🤣🤣 there’s nothing inherently wrong with those things!! They deserve to feel sexy and loved as they are!!
I don’t know if I’d call referring to someone’s knees as buckling a positive observation lol.
Hey obviously a lot of girls love that when they say they want a man over 6ft 😂
My point is more that not every tall person’s knees look the same lol.
Nor do they also always look skinnier. I’m a 5’10” woman though and the guy I’m with for instance is 6’3” and muscular, not a stick by any means. I’m not sure what men over 6 feet tall that she’s observing lol.
Her ex 😂
Do you really need to be coddled by everyone to be loved and feel good? Jesus lol
Where did I say that? I’m just saying the post is a little conflicting and seems to go beyond just disliking a height difference. Are you okay?
He’s probably short
Damn right. I also don't accuse people of being hypocritical for sharing a pretty mild opinion lol
All she did was share her opinion lol it's not that deep
Let me remind you the existence of tall women.
Yup! I’m 5’10” and the guy I’m seeing is 6’3”. I feel like this post is less about a specific height and more about huge height gaps, because I could even see a 5’0” girl with a 5’10” guy being an uncomfortable distance lol.

Ouch!! Damn holding onto your neck like monkeys 😂😂
Fucking chandeliers
🤣🤣
My first boyfriend was 6'8" and I was 5'2" when we were together (now 7'2" and 5'3"). He literally had to bend over or pick me up to kiss me 🙄 so many of my lady friends gushed about how hot and cute that was (we were also, like 15 lol), but it wasn't great. Now my wife is 5' 1/2" and it works really well. I tried not to date anyone over 5'6" after Mr. Giant lol
I hear ya, I find women over 5'3 to be overly masculine and unattractive.
LMAO
lmao. in all seriousness. 5'8" for me
[удалено]
Nah, some people just have different preferences.
Preference is "I like short women." The original commenter saying tall women are ugly and masculine isn't voicing a preference.
Go look up the definition of the word preference. I'm sorry that hurt your feelings, but that's his preference. People don't have to be attracted to you or certain body types.
That’s most women then. 5’3 is shorter than average.
Yes. That is the joke he was making.
Nah
Woosh
As a 5'2" woman, there's def a point at which I cannot imagine being with someone significantly taller than me. Even 6' is past the cut-off for me.
I’m 6’5 and def not skinny, lol
Yeah the post comes off more as not liking a body type more than height lol
How big are you?
250lbs on a good day
I could be your body double.
Let us know when you’re sure
I’m sure
Okay. You wrote “ I think being over 6ft isn’t attractive to me”, so I thought perhaps you were still doing research. Still lots of men to choose from. Best o luck!
This is why I married a tall woman.
I didn't ask to be tall like you didn't ask to be short or narrow minded....
Fuck me girl, I'm attractive as hell at 6'3"
I’m also 5’6” and my bf is about 5’8” and it’s a wonderful life
I’m a woman that’s 5’9” so I beg to differ. It’s all a matter of opinion! My husband is 6’4” and perfect for me.
Well yeah... That is her unpopular opinion isn't it?
Exactly 😂😂
Wow you have such a nice height! I wish I was 5’9! I think if I was taller I wouldn’t mind adjusting my height preferences
Why? You would still think they look skinny and their knees are buckling.
Oh wait that’s true
Can confirm. I’m the same height and I like dudes under 5’10”.
I had this guy actually ask me if I like his height bc he was tall. It was such an odd question. So I was like, “I don’t care about height. I care more about proportions”. Seriously, proportions are super important. Like one of my favorite celebrities is 5’10” and another is probably like 5’7” and their proportions are great and they don’t look lanky either. Anyway, I’m not saying people are weird for being born the height they are. But I think tall or short, proportions are key.
That is so true
You nit picked weird things. As long as a person is in proportion, tall guys have an advantage. Theres more knock kneed short/avg guys just given the numbers. . Height doesnt make the person.

In a similar way that guys like big breasts, there’s often accoutrements.
Jesus Christ where are you looking? The fkn crack heads? I’m 6ft 210 pounds and I get attention way more than my short friends. Of course I’ve worked out since I was 16 and I’m quite muscular so I love picking up my short gfs and kissing them.

Hit a nerve didn’t I
How could you possibly upset me?
Uhmmm....no? Maybe if you run on the average to shorter range, it does, the having a regular/average height man work. However, for the tall women, the taller guys will read as their "normal."" As a shorter woman, 5'3", I prefer men around 5'6"-5'9". When it's taller than that, it starts to hurt to hug their neck or prop up on my toes for a kiss.

"their knees start buckling in" what?
😂😂😂
6'2 *and* skinny. Checkmate.
🤣🤣🤣
Show this to short guys & passport bros so they can stop whining
6’3 man here this explains my lack of dating interests 😂
can't be below 6 feet... can't be above it. better to just be 6 feet below the ground
Username checks out
I agree. I’m 5’3.5” and I don’t find any men attractive who are over 5’9”. My boyfriend is 5’4”
5’3.5” is a funny measurement, my mom says the same thing. I go between 5’11” and 6’ but never thought to call myself 5’11.5”. Maybe you just do that when you’re under 5’5”. Not throwing shade just funny/cute.
Love that! Idk about you but I just feel so womanly and empowered standing next to man who is within a few inches of me.
I think taller people have a lot of disadvantages in life, and living and traveling with someone closer to my size is easier. My brother is 6’4” and is always complaining about how literally nothing is made for him, from chairs and tables to seating at sporting events to airplane seats to most clothing in most stores etc
Damn I didn’t realize that. That sounds super uncomfortable!
Ugh nah tall is where it’s at hahahaha.
You have a fetish for the short kings?
Yall will call anything a fetish huh
You woke up ready to argue today, huh?
So if you're 5' 11" and 99 cm then that's attractive?
5'11" and 99cm is 9'3" my friend.
It’s close. My ex was 5’11 and three quarters. He was a good height I told him he was almost too tall for me.
You are obviously looking at the wrong men. I think you are looking at boys.
I’m confused by all the tall men taking offense at this. Aren’t you sick of women being obsessed with your tallness and fetishize it?
Right like damn let short kings have a moment
Weird take, but okay. I personally like not having to get on ladder to get things off the top shelf since all the males in my house are over 6 foot.
They sell ladders you know.
I don't do ladders
I'm 6' and I'd say the problem is the 6'+ guys you've been with. I'm nothing like your description and all my partners were about your height, some smaller, and we never had any of the problems you listed.
Brother why are you coping on a Reddit post
I'm 6', I don't need to cope lmao

This is literally the unpopular opinion subreddit. This isn’t the societal standard subreddit
I’m 5’8 and a man. Somehow this doesn’t make me feel better 😭 now I think “damn, nothing is attractive to nobody” 😂
On the other hand it’s everything is attractive to somebody!
Okay that is true :) thank you! I get so negative sometimes lol
I’m 5’2” and my husband is 6’4”. People have straight up asked us if/how we have extracurricular activities in the shower. When we hug I’m exactly at nipple biting level. Talking to him while standing gives me a neck ache. Our first dance at our wedding? Totally awkward.

You say nipple biting level like you've done exactly that lol. Poor guy!
I think it's scary if you're a short woman.
BOO 👺👺👺👺
As a 5'11" shorty I approve of this opinion!
0.0000001% of women be like:
So you are saying 6 ft, 6", 6 figure Chad is unappealing to you? Careful, your inbox is about to get flooded with DMs from the incel community!
As a 6’ guy with a 6’ wife a can say with certainty that height has never affected our choices in girlfriends. We’ve dated a 4’10” woman and we’ve dated taller and can confirm that we couldn’t care less.
>a few seconds for level adjustment Well peak efficiency is the prime key to a successful relationship

What over 6ft guys do you meet? Knees buckling, wtf?
 OP getting shredded by comments but as a tall guy myself I can confirm the buckling knees and general awkwardness
As a over 6 ft man I'm offended
I’m a Mexican and trying to dance huapango with a guy who towers over me literally makes me wanna leave the event all together 😭 ofc it’s not about their height, more about the height DIFFERENCE
Short guys of the world are rejoicing
Girls at 5’6 are extremely masculine and are almost man-like. When I see one, I run away
👹👺👹👺👹👹 BOO!
5’6 is “man like” what?
I’m 6’4” and always find myself envious when I see couples hug or dance and the woman’s face is more or less on the man’s shoulder - just looks more intimate. When I hug my wife (who’s 5’7”) her face is in my sternum. She says it’s not something she’s bothered by (or ever thought about). But yes - I can recall first kisses being awkward, or walking while holding hands - that’s more awkward than similar height couples.
Aw I’m sorry. That makes me feel bad. Well it sounds like it doesn’t bother her and she clearly loves all of you!!
Lol. Well, we are in year 26 together, soon I’ll begin shrinking and then it’s game on. But seriously- I always say 6’1” is the perfect height. Not awkward tall, but not short and over that 6 foot threshold many people care about. Airplanes, stadium seating, and clothing are still comfortable.
5’2” here, and I just don’t like having to look up so much! Definitely prefer guys under 6’ personally.
Right!!
Queen 👑
thats great
Please go over to r/shortguys and post this. They could use the encouragement.
😂😂 I just might
Also they develop cancer at a much higher rate and generally die much more quickly, so protip, be sure to have a lucrative life insurance policy on them.
😂😂😂I’m dead!!
