Height Correlation Survey- Do tall men infantilize shorter women?

Platipus6 · 2021-01-13T06:29:24+00:00

I'm 5'7 and dated 2 men over 6' (their chin was on my head when we hugged)

That was their personality. They were 'unsuccessful with the ladies' when they were young (skinny/gangly) teens, grew tall, filled out etc, and got attention. They didn't know what to do with it and from being at both extremes, never grew a healthy personality.

It's why men on tinder have 6'3 as their bio. They don't have a personality.

Anyway. They didn't become protective over me. Both infantilized themselves, never finished growing up past 6 years old, and wanted me to mommy them. It was pretty gross. Imagine a full grown man shambling at you for an afternoon cuddlenap, looking like he had a full diaper and wanted mommy to take care of it.

I'm interested in the answers from a bigger gap such as the 5'1 ladies with basketball players.

I don’t think shorter men are worse people in general at all. I don’t think height tells you anything.

My ex treated me like I was supposed to be his mommy and he was almost a full foot taller than me.

Men infantilize women because they’re shit, height doesn’t have anything to do with it.

I dated a guy an inch taller than me and he still infantillized me. I'm 5'4, and he kept telling me how little I was. Like I'm not even extremely short or thin for a female. I'm very curvy and muscular in my bottom half even with low body fat.

I’m 5’0”, and I’ve literally never met a man shorter than me. I’ve dated around with men just a little taller than me to over 6 feet, though my only LTR was with my college boyfriend (4” height diff) and current husband (13” height diff).

IMO there is not much that can be discerned from height difference. LVM come in many forms.

I will say that the people who mentioned my height the most were probably like 5’7”-5’8”.... too tall to be “short”, but tall enough to like, rest an elbow on my shoulder, and found that to be a novelty that they wouldn’t shut up about.

I'm 5'10. I don't prefer shorter men because I've never had a positive experience with them. At first its, "yeah wear heels, do what you like", but the moment they realize they're way shorter, they turn into criticizing pieces of shit.

It depends. I don’t think just because a man prefers shorter girls that means he has a pedo fetish/kink. But some guys definitely do seek out shorter girls to infantilize them.

men seek out large height differences to feel like a “big man” on the inside. I think this is honestly across the board. Short girls I know, the ones who are really desperate for male attention, always talk about how small/short they are.

My ex-manager, one of the biggest scores I have ever come across, told us “in (state) his fiancé was a 6, but in (state) she was a 10.” He also admitted to going for good looking women who were “tall” because they were easier that their shorter counterparts.

Depends on the guy. Some tall (6'+) guys love that im tiny, and others dont want someone as short as me. Im 5'1

Men close in height to me have short man syndrome, so no. They are intimidated or annoyed by other men being taller so they like to try and pretend they are ‘dominant‘ over me. They fail at that too and just end up being rude losers.
