The Tall and the Short of it (Taller Women vs. Shorter Men) .... Ali

  Author:  1631  Category:(Discussion) Created:(8/10/2001 10:39:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (28402 times)

At 5'8", I'm a relatively tall woman. I also have an insatiable lust for shoes, especially shoes with heels, and I own pairs that can make me nearly 6'0" when I wear them.

I've noticed a trend in men's attitudes towards me. Men who are SHORTER than me, in general (there are exceptions), aren't as kind to me as men who are TALLER than me. Men who are shorter than me usually take on one of two behaviors: 1) They avoid me. They won't look me in the eye and they seem disinterested in anything I have to say. They seem very uncomfortable if they are standing next to me. 2) They take on an IN YOUR FACE attitude with me. They are loud, condescending and try to act extra macho. They seem compelled to invade my personal space in order to establish dominance.

Now that I'm single, I have friends who want to set me up with their single male friends. One of the questions I'm always asked is, "Would you go out with a guy who is shorter than you?". This is terrible, but I say NO, because I want to avoid being put in a position where there's a chance that I'll be treated poorly.

Am I the only one who sees or experiences this? Ladies, do you feel you are treated differently by men who are shorter than you? Gentlemen, do you have a problem with women who are taller than you? I really want to get to the truth of the matter!!!!

Thanks for your input,

~Ali Cat~

Date: 8/10/2001 10:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 23991    Ali...men who are shorter than you feel intimidated. I'm 5'10..and a lot of my shoes put me well over 6 ft...lol. But if your height is gonna be a problem for some guy...screw them :P (sigh..the convent calls :P)  
Date: 8/10/2001 10:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 34775    Wow. Ali..wish I had your problem! Really, I am pretty short..I am about 5'3..so almost everyone is taller than me, but..everyone knows I am an odd duck, but I find I have no concept whatsoever with height..I must have horrible spatial intellegence because whenever I am talking to anyone, I always feel I am the same height as them..whether they are as shor as me, or if they a 6 feet tall..I think, overall, my trend has been to be attracted to shorter men, though, as a whole..it just seems to work out that way..  
Date: 8/10/2001 10:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 15777    They don't feel manly near you...I know because I am the same as you 5'8 and I love big shoes also..my ex was exactly 5'8 as well and would throw a fit when I would wear my tall boots for example because it made him feel insecure like to others he felt it looked like I would have to protect him if anything should happen...lol, I think its sad!  
Date: 8/10/2001 10:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 42178    This is comming from a person how has been short and small...I am cofortable with who i am and my phyiscal size...sure i have had to prove myself more than others especially in sports...so that may be where the second response you were talking about comes from...but i have never been intimidated by other size...but i dont go around feeling i have something to prove...Im only 5'4"...I think its a shame that because of bad past experiences you are excluding us from the dating pool...people should be judged on who they are ...not size...and besides havent you heard the expression...Dynomite comes in small packages...LOL LUCK OF THE IRISH  
Date: 8/10/2001 10:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 15338    lol I'm on the track to being VERY tall when I grow up cause I am already 5 "6 I believe and I am 12  
Date: 8/10/2001 10:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 36487    (looks up at Ali) I dont see a problem with it. I dont think i have gone out with a girl that is taller then me tho. Hmmmm, thats a good thought -- Mr DJ  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:01:00 AM  From Authorid: 34775    Ooohhh the elusicve Mr. DJ..lol..joker~

Date: 8/10/2001 11:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 36487    (walks back in elusivly_ What are you talking about???? (disappears into the darkness) lol Mr DJ  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 8817    I have noticed this as well. I am 5'8'' and I habe met a few guys who have decided they did not like me all because of my height. But really what can you do it isn't my fault and honestly I don't think of myself as being very tall. For a girl maybe but over all naw. I think the guys who are short just need to get better self esteem or something.  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:13:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    IRISH, LMAO!!!! That's just it, I DON'T want to eliminate potential partners based on their height. It just seems like I have such bad luck with shorter men!...  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    "Short People got no reason to live-They got tiny little hands and tiny little teeth, and tiny little shoes on their nasty little feet" *The Great Randy Neuman* -- Being kind of tall myself I have no problem with anyone taller, a taller woman in particular (makes slow dancing much more fun) LOL!! -- and tiny little voices going "squeak, squeak, sqeak"

Date: 8/10/2001 11:20:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    Ok, ok..I do have to admit that tall men make me feel more feminine. Something about that primitive "protective male" thing still does it for me...  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 42178    Just face it Ali..you have something against us short people and your just trying to justfy it..LOL...Well I call on all the short people of the wold to rise up and lift yur voices tocry out at this injustice to us...Luck
  
Date: 8/10/2001 11:25:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    Gee thanks, IRISH! Now not only will short men treat me differently, they'll be wanting to serve my head on a silver platter to the leader of the SMAAC (Short Men Against Ali Cat) Association!...

Date: 8/10/2001 12:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 2030    Depends on your perspective Ali, 1/2" is really all a guy needs.  
Date: 8/10/2001 12:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 4839    Ali, hmm...I am 5'10" and I love being tall...no matter what looks I get. I attract short guys and tall guys...most of them don't really seem to care to tell you the truth. Sometimes it bothers me, but more than half of 'em haven't stopped growing yet so....lol, I dunno, that's a good question. I just know that when I walk into a room people tend to stare at me and I think it's b/c of my height. Lol, I like my height. I guess it's just the opposite...I get attention, I don't think I've ever been treated poorly b/c of it. I'm sorry...I don't think I've helped you much. Those guys you say that try to act all macho sound like they have an ego problem.
  
Date: 8/10/2001 12:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 33682    Hey Ali My bestfried is 5'9" and she has the hardest time finding men! Not because she's treated badly by the shorter ones, but because she doesn't want to date anyone shorter than her. Totally understandable though! Just wanted to let ya know you're not alone out there!   
Date: 8/10/2001 12:25:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    omg BCAR! LMAO!!!!...  
Date: 8/10/2001 12:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 30743    Actually, I prefer tall men... LOL, the taller the better... HEE HEE, once when I was dancing with this guy.. He was about, well at least over 6 feet, and he picked me up and danced me around the floor the whole dance... LOL... I'd love to be taller though... Not have to use a step stool to reach cabinets...  
Date: 8/10/2001 12:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 36902    every guy i like are always shorter than i m so..........chancy
Date: 8/10/2001 12:44:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    Say, we have a lot of tall ladies on this site!...  
Date: 8/10/2001 7:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 31145    I'm 5'9 and i LOVE platform shoes which add another 2-3in. Everyone I know is basically my height. I dunno maybe its because I live in a land of giants! lol  
Date: 8/10/2001 9:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 16069    my husband is a tiny bit shorter than me, we dont care.  
Date: 8/11/2001 3:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 4839    Hehe, LoveOneAnother..that's cute. Yeah Ali, we sure do!  
Date: 9/25/2001 1:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hello Ali Cat. How ya been? Tall or short? Is that the question? Well, let me say this; I like all of yas, Amazon or Elf. See ya.....  
Date: 4/5/2002 6:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 52653    i have to deal with the same thing. i am 5'9" and all the guys avoid me
Date: 10/8/2002 9:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 13729    You dont go out with short guys!..I guess that rules me out!...lol...I could get lifts!...Remember, were all the same height when were laying down!...Tall or short I treat women with respect......  
Date: 10/8/2002 9:51:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    Ritzbe, in your case, I concur ...  
Date: 10/8/2002 9:59:00 AM  From Authorid: 9130    I see this is an older post-- I noticed it on the "recently replied to list" So I will answer anyways :P I am a little over 5'10" My husband swears that I am taller than that-- I think it's because we are the same height and he refuses to admitt that he is under six feet tall... Anyways, before he and I were going out, I actually went out with several guys that were shorter than me. For a while that is all that was asking me out-- it was the weirdest thing. The tallest guy I dated was about 6'5"-- that was kinda cool   
Date: 10/8/2002 10:02:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1631    Dizzy, I think we always feel that outspoken people have a dominating presence about them. That's probably what's making Nova think you're taller than you really are. LOL! *wink*...  
Date: 10/8/2002 10:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 53284    Your height wouldn't matter nearly as much as your smile and your personality to me.  
Date: 7/25/2004 10:24:00 AM  ( Admin-DNL )   Maybe they aren't good to you because they are insecure since you are taller? I have heard that short men don't like to hook up with taller women for that reason. I think I saw that on an episode of Springer, lol
