I like the cut of your jib, mister (miss, ms. etc).
I’ve got this multiple times each from 3 different sites, as well as in casual conversation, as well as chatting up someone I think is attractive.
It definitely is a trend, and it definitely is shallow.
I would happily date anyone I was attracted to regardless of height or weight. Like said above, attraction is attraction. Taller, shorter, fatter, skinnier. It really doesn’t matter as long as you’re a nice person and we get along swimmingly. Getting along fuckingly is a plus!
Umm. I beg to differ. 5 years younger than me is OK, however 10 … more ? A 20-something year old? Nah. That’s a deal breaker for me.
I’ve actually been attracted to older women since I started liking females.
BTW: just turned 43. Dating someone exactly my age was cool! We had so much to relate to.
So, as you see everyone, I have had successful relationships. I just noticed a trend, at least with me.
You can’t blame someone for getting what they want.
If a girl says “I only date guys taller than me,” and she gets lots of dates, how’s that her fault? Is she supposed to take less than she’s capable of getting?
I have never really bought into this “I can’t get a date because…”
OK it may happen, I won’t deny that, but if something happens to you more than once or twice, it’s probably you.
Supposing your a total jerk, of course you don’t know this 
Supposing you ask a girl out and she doesn’t want to hurt your feelings by saying what a jerk you are. So she says “I only date guys taller than me.”
People got always got a handle. You’re fat, short, too tall, poor, wrong race…
Your time will come or it might not, but you can’t allow yourself to upset by it.
Learn one thing from me and you will be well off. NEVER let anyone dictate your happiness.
Exactly my point. The latest one was 5’2". I sat there and thought about it for a bit.
She goes to hug the guy and her face ends up in his gut. Or they go to kiss and she has to get a chair. Or when they’re … you know. Staring into his belly button??? Ick.
She (they) were/was shallow and I have moved on. By “moving on”, I mean I’m still fucking single.

No, I will not lie. That’s what I pride myself on when I chat up a lady and in online profiles is my honesty. What you see/hear/read is what you’re getting.
Never lie about your height. I’ve gone out with guys who said they were 5’11 on their profile, but in reality were two inches or more shorter than me. Not only did they become instant liars in my eyes, but I took their lies as a direct insult to my intelligence.
I’m sorry… must’ve missed something. You would actually **want **to date women who judge people by height? Hell, I wouldn’t date a woman who wouldn’t date you, any more than I would date an openly racist woman. I really don’t have many requirements for women… but shallow and intolerant are the worst deal breakers for me.
Yes, you did miss something. These women never made the first date.
I would never date a woman who would date a guy like me! 
I’m so glad that I’m 6’. I hear this from chicks a LOT.
I’m 5’6", my husband is 6’. I would never say that I’d only date men my height or taller, and I can think of one or two shorter guys who I’ve been interested in, but I have a definite preference. It seems that at my height, or at least around the people I know, I’m on the tall side of average for women, and I get insanely self-conscious when I’m standing next to people who are shorter than I am. I just feel huge and out of place. Tall men make me feel better about myself because I don’t feel like I stand out. It doesn’t help that I enjoy wearing heels! I know it’s completely ridiculous and I should just get over it, but there it is.
I guess that makes me shallow, but I’d rather think it makes me someone who wants to feel better in her own skin and doesn’t like feeling uncomfortable. Probably helps that I’m not dating, so I don’t have to ever turn anyone down!
You’re totally shallow and self centered! No decent man will ever want a woman with height requirements! :mad:
Hey, I like short guys - or at least most of my boyfriends have been about 5’6" or 5’7". I get to look them in the eyes and that’s great.
Then it’s a good thing my husband is somewhat indecent…rrrrrowrr 
lucky charms commercials
Diosa, you sultry minx. Stop falling in love with me. You’ll only embarrass yourself.
I’m just sad you wont have me because I’m shallow and self centered. Don’t you see how shallow and self centered that is of you? 
I’m sure someone has already beaten me to it but…
When they’re nose to nose, her toes is in it…and when they’re toes to toes her nose is in it.
I think that’s really it in a nutshell for women who have a hard and fast rule about tall men. It’s not so much that they care about HIS height, it’s how his height makes them feel about themselves.
No girl wants to feel like some big clumsy amazon, we want to feel pretty and dainty and feminine. I suspect that the short men who are successful in dating women of all sizes, even ones taller than them, have found a way to short circuit this insecurity in that type of woman.
I’m only 5’6" myself, and I’ve always considered myself medium or average. But you’re right, I just googled it and 5’4" is actually the average, so we ARE on the tall side. ARRRGGGGGGHHH, not only am I fat, old, and ugly, I’m too tall too.
I’ll never “get a man”.
5’8 girl here.
I don’t have much problem dating guys shorter than I am (well, if I have to bend at the waist to kiss him that might be a problem), but in my experience, short guys tend to have insecurities about being with taller women. One of my exes was about 5’6, and when we would walk hand-in-hand he would get suddenly insecure and think people were staring at us, and drop my hand. I got so hurt over this that one day I told him, “Hey, why you worrying about what strangers think? Does that stranger come home and give you the pussy at night? No, that’s me. You need to be worried about what *I *think.” I don’t know if I gave him a whole new perspective, but I think I got my point across.
I, like any woman, want to be with someone who will be proud to hold my hand.
