Genuine question - why does a 5ft1 girl care if you're 5ft8 instead of 6ft?

SimplyMerlin · 2021-03-25T15:53:47+00:00

Online dating has made women think wayyyy too highly of themselves. It's good to have standards but fuck, don't flatter yourself.

DKN3 · 2021-03-25T11:34:24+00:00

Eh either way you dodged a bullet. She’s going to be single for a while

Martamis · 2021-03-25T12:44:51+00:00

The average height difference between men and women is 3 inches.

I'm 6'2. So next time a girl asks me for my height, I'll reject her for simply not being 5'11

letsplaysomegolf · 2021-03-25T13:26:23+00:00

I saw a post like this somewhere on Reddit where a girl made a similar comment via an online dating app and the guys response was something like “you have to realize that you are nowhere near hot enough to have those types of requirements, right?” Or something to that extent. As a result, that’s what I think about whenever I see these posts and this one definitely falls in that category.

lsdjelly · 2021-03-25T13:15:14+00:00

Because the internet has ruined the expectations of everyone in the dating world. People expect to find a gorgeous person to date and not a person they're compatible with. Guys and girls have all these physical things they want first and maybe personality things way down the line.

It makes sense given tinder and the like are mostly about what you look like as opposed to if someone has the same values and wants as you do.

StunningEstates · 2021-03-25T14:29:37+00:00

She's not hot enough to be height biased.

Bostonnicke · 2021-03-25T14:32:32+00:00

Most women have no clue how tall someone is. 1 of my friends is 6'7". We ask 2 girls how tall they think he is. 6'2 was their guess... I started yelling to him that this is why I lie about my height. They have no clue. Another friend is 5'10 and girls think he's 6'

The only way girls know a guy's height is if it's within 2" of their own height

J0kerr · 2021-03-25T12:50:12+00:00

Seriously. I stand at 5'10. Is there a social penalty for women if the guy is not 6'0? Or is it just a psychologically satisfying number, like the number 10?

thedrunkenrebel · 2021-03-25T13:07:08+00:00

5'1 is not a girl. That`s a parkour obstacle

ghetterking · 2021-03-25T11:52:52+00:00

because she thinks a tall bf is some kind of a status symbol maybe, dunno

dont take it from me though, i have heard a couple women complain about how some "[ugly but tall women] get all the tall guys", implying they also want tall (but not necessarily handsome or even with anything else good about them) guys but cant get any.

pro tip: dont ONLY date people who you have to dislocate your necks to kiss standing up straight, it's so not worth it. bowing down, bending your knees and shit makes many nice things super uncomfy. best are people more or less your height. and yes i very much advise short girls to go for short guys. trust me on this one, your toes can handle only so much standing on them.

FussRoDa · 2021-03-25T12:58:28+00:00

It's not your height in comparison to her, it's your height in comparison to other guys is what matters.

Discocheese69 · 2021-03-25T15:55:43+00:00

If you were 5’8 and told a 5’1 girl that you were 6’0, she probably wouldn’t even be able to tell you were lying

machinematrix · 2021-03-25T12:36:22+00:00

Because hypergamy.

Teleporter55 · 2021-03-25T13:37:40+00:00

Dating for young women is this bizarre buffet where they can pick and choose from a ton of different guys. It's fucked. They don't seem to understand this. It kind of screws up their personality after the 10s that just want to fuck bale on them after a few hookups.

It's been written much better than I am. But basically women get to play way out of their league in dating apps in exchange for thinking all men are asshole losers that will dump them after sex. Fucking sucks being 30 and having to deal with this baggage

MC_Preacher · 2021-03-25T11:44:28+00:00

Why do some guys prefer blondes or big tits. Why do some girls want tall guys or big dicks? The only time I dun a girl for her taste 'requirements' are if she is a bitch when the guy has his own 'requirements'.

If the six foot thing is aesthetic, but flexible, then no worries. Still a bad deal to invest a lot of time and money in her if you are a shortie and she is going to be eyefucking tall guys on your date.

If she insists on six feet tall before she will engage, but won't reveal her weight or bra size, then she can fuck off.

SansyBoy14 · 2021-03-25T14:07:29+00:00

Seriously though, why is it ok for females to judge guys based on height, but if we say a women should lose weight for health reasons (as a fat dude, telling fat people they don’t need to change is bad. You should encourage them to lose weight and don’t be a dick about the fact their fat)

J0kerr · 2021-03-25T14:22:46+00:00

Women are told and society accepts the hate leveled at short males (something they can't change)....but god help you if you think a girl is packing too much weight (something they can change)

DaftPhya · 2021-03-25T13:14:57+00:00

The audacity of these street hoes. Literally brainwashed by social media.

ordordo · 2021-03-25T13:22:37+00:00

Im a 6’2(187 cm) guy..and I fucking hate this double standard against guys below 6ft...i had so many girls talking about how they would never date anyone shorter than that..imagine if we said something similar, how angry would they get?

reallyreallyspicy · 2021-03-25T14:07:23+00:00

how can she be so petty about height when she looks like a fish

TheRookCard · 2021-03-25T14:07:26+00:00

I’m 6’5” and my neck is hurting thinking about trying to kiss her.

scraynes · 2021-03-25T23:07:02+00:00

As a tall guy, I feel for you shorter dudes. It makes no logical sense. I can understand if she was 5'10" and wanted a guy over 6'. When I hear a woman say she doesn't date a guy under 6' I immediately delete/unmatch/ghost her. It's immaturity, just like a guy saying if a girl doesn't have big boobs or whatever.

and_a_side_of_fries · 2021-03-25T16:13:01+00:00

I’m gonna be fucking honest. I’m 6’2” and it’s a load off my mind knowing I don’t have to have that battle. It’s hard enough to get a girls attention.

Maybe if we didn’t sexualize them as much as we do, their egos might be knocked down a peg or 5.

Curia-DD · 2021-03-25T15:36:33+00:00

Genuinely curious, does anyone else think these mediocre girls get such inflated egos because of how girl friends act towards each other? Guys harp on each other and say shit point blank with no issues, but girls always talk each other up with "omg you're stunning", "you're definitely the hottest", " you could totally do so much better, you're literally a goddess". So when they get the power to control something like this, they get a little bit of a power trip?

Exver1 · 2021-03-25T15:48:10+00:00

Being a short guy is a small blessing in disguise. At least super conformist, materialistic, shallow girls will filter themselves out.

dae_giovanni · 2021-03-25T12:18:16+00:00

if you're going to try to be open-minded, then why would you even open your mouth about the height bias?

"I mean, I don't really find you attractive, but I'm pretending!!"

Bro you know what I could do with another 4 inches

jonjonesjohnson · 2021-03-25T12:53:31+00:00

One of my exes is like 5'9"/175 (i am 5'11"/180) and she told me something like she's no idea why guys shorter than her even try to talk to her.

But after we broke up, i saw that she dated a guy, who, by the photos, could not have been taller than 5'7"/170. She even dated that guy for longer than she dated me, lol.

Anyway, this ex of mine is cool af actually and apparently, she could get over these height things.

2021-03-25T14:41:23+00:00

Every time I see a post like this, this is the first thing that comes to mind

GhostTheEternal · 2021-03-26T00:07:10+00:00

Because women want a guy that OTHER women want. If other women say that "you have to be 6 foot to go on this ride" and make it clear that anyone under that is worthless, then that 5'1" idiot won't want a 5'8" guy either even though he's tall compared to her. The approval of her friends is a very high priority.

Guys on the other hand don't give a shit. Is she gross? No? Cool.

Zicronblade0 · 2021-03-25T14:26:16+00:00

Only like 10% of men are above 6ft. But we take it super for granted when we are tall I guess lol.

BluepillProfessor · 2021-03-26T13:54:42+00:00

They prefer tall guys to the same reason they like.diamonds and gold rings. They are an accessory to brag about to other women. The man is just a prop

Women do not love men, they love what they can extract from men and how men make them feeeeeelllll.

She got issues, run

xluryan · 2021-03-25T14:23:16+00:00

I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this, but just to play devil's advocate...

It's ok to prefer taller people, just like I prefer slimmer girls with a nice face and good boobs. It's not ok to judge someone based on attributes they can't control, but it's still ok to have a preference.

King-of-Plebs · 2021-03-25T15:54:12+00:00

As a tall guy who’s been in a relationship since before Tinder, is this really that common? I really hope for my slightly shorter friends that it’s not the case

2021-03-25T22:05:53+00:00

I am a 6’4” and I have zero interest in a woman that comes up to my belly button. She’s an idiot - be glad you found out up front. You can do better.

By the way that was a good response to her bitchy comments.

DaBestNameEver0 · 2021-03-26T03:28:00+00:00

I’m 6’1 and I don’t even feel much taller than my 5’10/5’11 friends. I can tell a difference with 5’9 friends tho, so that’s just kinda weird for me

attoj559 · 2021-03-27T14:52:29+00:00

It’s not about functionality it’s about novelty. Women love men that have novel characteristics. Men over 6 feet are rare, men with a lot of money are rare, men with fame are rare. I’m 5’10 and if I said I was 6 foot I doubt a 5’1 girl would know the difference unless she whipped out a tape.

DC-Toronto · 2021-03-27T22:26:20+00:00

If women have a minimum height does that make it ok that to require a minimum of a natural c cup?

wpen · 2021-03-25T15:23:19+00:00

She isn’t even pretty lol

hello_hellno · 2021-03-25T14:11:06+00:00

Lol and of course has the most generic asian face ever. Dont get me wrong, many asian girls are cute as fuck but she is just.... cucumber sushi.

Even the costco sex doll line would hold this one for being overly generic.

iwaspromisingonce · 2021-03-25T14:05:14+00:00

Funny thing is this number is arbitrary, and differs depending on the part of the world you are in. So in the US it's 6', while in my country (central Europe) it's 5'11 (180cm). It's like physical state doesn't matter, but the number that describes it has to look satisfying.

We should create a system where every number is absolutely atrocious and the problem is solved.

saddestclaps · 2021-03-25T17:53:58+00:00

Why are girls such snobs about height now? I've seen several posts like this. Like I guess I get wanting a guy to be taller than you, but having height requirements is so strange.

Black-Spruce · 2021-03-25T20:30:23+00:00

Because there is no selective pressure applied to women, and there hasn't been for around 100 years. All the selective pressure is on the men, so a woman can be as ugly, short, fat, and disgusting as they come, and they will have no problem replicating those inferior genetics of theirs. Whereas a man with any flaws whatsoever is often rendered incapable of reproducing. This ultimately means that no progress is made in the elimination of inferior genes, since they live on through women.

2021-03-25T23:02:57+00:00

or say "good luck, i hear tall guys prefer prettier girls"

luckyluci1 · 2021-03-25T23:19:01+00:00

longhorn2118 · 2021-03-26T01:14:19+00:00

I always tell people how shocking it is how acceptable it is to segregate against height but the second someone says they don’t date black, Asian, trans or fat people, you’re a racist, bigot asshole

Kazuma_Chunchunmaru · 2021-03-26T01:52:39+00:00

Maybe she likes taller guys so her face is at crotch level so she doesn't get dirt on her slacks...

Guido-Guido · 2021-03-26T02:25:54+00:00

Dude, any guy over 5’6” and-a-half is 1,000,000% tall enough for her short ass. 5’1”? Seriously? You’re a bonafide midget, I’m sorry.

2021-03-26T02:27:38+00:00

Its status, height is a status symbol that's why.

Guido-Guido · 2021-03-26T02:57:21+00:00

I genuinely think 80% of women have a shot at 80% of men. They could just saunter up to them and go "yes, I would like sex now, please" and the guy would do it. Only, those 80% of women don’t want those 80% of men. They want the top 20%. And even some of them are so starved for sexual attention that they might give out.

Momo_des · 2021-03-26T03:27:28+00:00

She’s 5’1, everyone is taller than her 💀

2021-03-26T04:15:00+00:00

Great answer I am 6ft2 and I read all these b.....s who wax on about height etc , I am a PTSD whack job although I try to be nice I am intolerant and most of the time just not great to be be around so does my height make me a better date , I don’t think so. Woman go on about men objectifying them but they are just as bad .

sadowsentry · 2021-03-26T08:12:32+00:00

The ones who are ugly, short, and/or fat are the ones most obsessed with height.

thefeetwork · 2021-04-04T14:30:42+00:00

Women aren’t doing anything wrong I have come to realize. They are treating men just like we will treat sex robots when we create them. They don’t have the intelligence to create make sex robots, but they don’t have to because men are simps and majority will accept any deal.

2021-03-25T15:16:26+00:00

It's some weird flex with online dating thots

Just avoid. The types of chicks doing these are sluts who fuck a lot of guys. They're not really girlfriend material - they're going to be lonely with cats voting democrat, or they're going to find some beta male they can't stand and have cats and vote democrat.

I mean unless you're just trying to get laid, in which case just add some inches to your height - since they're expecting you to lie about your height anyway such that if you tell the truth they'll assume you're padding on that

(and they're always going to be fatter and less attractive than their pics anyway)

l1f3styl3 · 2021-03-25T12:54:59+00:00

I'm 5'10" M, have dated a woman 6'3"-4'8" & everything in between. There's a psychological component to being taller than the woman, especially if she likes to wear heels. There's also a sexual component to being closer in height. I'll agree F about 3" short than M seems to be about perfect but the 4'8" woman sure was fun to bounce on my dick!!!

2021-03-25T12:16:27+00:00

trichofobia · 2021-03-25T15:37:06+00:00

They don't know the damn difference, just lie and come clean at the end of the date if it went well.

icansmellcolors · 2021-03-25T15:39:18+00:00

They care because they saw someone else say it and they're trying to mimic that behavior to be more cool than they think they are.

It's all just copy-pasta irl. They don't understand how to be cool so they just pretend to be what they think is cool by doing shit like this.

There shouldn't even be interest in this person because of this kind of dumb shit. They aren't worth the time.

2021-03-25T15:44:59+00:00

guitarsolosax · 2021-03-25T16:44:18+00:00

But are tall guys going to be interested in some 5'1 girl with an entitled, obnoxious attitude?

That's what I don't get. The entitlement of the women on dating sites who have such strict requirements seem to think any guy who really does meet their requirements is going to actually want to date her.

There is certainly nothing special about the sort of women who post on the femaledatingstrategy subreddit and they are without a doubt well below average, and yet they seem to all think they are entitled to the top 1% of men (who probably want nothing to do with them).

2021-03-25T17:21:14+00:00

I have a buddy who's around 5'4", good dude and considered attractive by most women who see him. I've witnessed him talking to girls online for sometimes weeks before they really know how tall he is, then straight up ghost him after finding out. After days or weeks sometimes of good conversation.

He was always used to it and shrugged it off every time, but it did, and still bothered the absolute crap outta me.

CreativeCandy9 · 2021-03-25T18:19:31+00:00

One time a girl told me that we'd have sex if I visited her 6 hours away. So obviously horny ass 20 year old me raced over there. As we're cuddling/spooning I try to initiate and she says no. So now I'm all confused and was like "you said we'd have sex..." and she replied "just because I said it doesn't mean I meant it". I was so livid! Blue balled and defeated I just kind of sat there for a while. Eventually I asked her if she had gained weight her response was "no but that's pretty rude to ask" and I just replied:

"just because I said it doesn't mean I meant it"

I think she finally got the point after that. I left shortly after and never spoke to her again.

As a female I cannot understand this shallow obsession with men having to be over 6’

5'6" here....Was regularly denied by women during my swiping days for being too short when they were significantly shorter. So glad I finally found my Smizmar and don't have to feel so insecure anymore.

Blame the simps and men with no self respect. Women like this will ALWAYS have an audience. On these app, to put it bluntly, there's an army of dicks for every hole.

To compensate their vertically challenged genes.

Ya if you let her say that to you then you’ve already lost. Shoulda asked how big her pussy is

Looking like that aswell, alway these nasty looking birds talking shit about height and money.

You can't just leave us on a cliffhanger like that.

As someone who has never dated or hookedup with anyone before, why do so many girls (or atleast these posts I see about them) care about your height? I could be 6ft and still be an absolute asshole while I could also be really nice and helpful and 5ft right? It is about who you are not your measurements right?

jchetra83 · 2021-03-26T19:03:42+00:00

Seriously. Someone who is her height all guys are tall.

I know I’m going to get downvoted to oblivion but , if 6 ft guys gets her juices flowing then so be it . Who cares . Although her choice itself for a 5ft 1 girl is incredibly stupid and superficial . But even then, so be it . It’s a preference in the end of the day .

For all the shorter kings out there: height truly does NOT matter, nor will it stop you from being successful in love/dating. I’m 5’1 so I’m not tall by any means myself, but I’ve dated men from 5’4 all the way to 6’7. It’s all about who you are at the end of the day that matters :)
