I imagine tall women basketball players are probably most attracted to tall male athletes most of who of who probably don't have a problem getting dates. Would a woman that is 6'2" be interested in a guy that is 5'7"? Probably not.

I would be lol. I'm a 5'9" feminine person (afab agender, I still present in a feminine way) and would date a man who was 5'3". It's not a big deal. My friend is 5'7" and her bf is 5'3". Shorter guys are cute.

A lot of women prefer taller men because they've been taught they are supposed to, and men reinforce it by being unwilling to date taller women and constantly talking about how they love shorter women cuz protective instincts and all that rubbish. Height has nothing to do with it. I have protective instincts for everyone I care about, regardless of their height in relation to mine.

Anyways I wish I was 6'2"

Sorry, but that's what my favorite thing about men is, as far as romantic partners go. Maybe my immaturity is showing. Probl'y is.

On a more serious note, men come in all personalities and types, so I like many because they are strong, kind, interesting, but that is not uniform. Still, the men I choose to spend time with are good for various conversations and stories, or else I would not hang out with them.

Yeah me too

I would say its more insecurity and intimidation than a lack of attraction or 'protective instincts', most models are pretty tall as I'm sure everyone knows. Your entire life you're told tallness equals attractiveness, that's probably why so many short men develop a complex about it. I imagine a lot of guys don't bother pursuing taller women since they make the cultural societal assumption that women taller than themselves want a partner of at least equal or greater stature which is true often enough for that to not be totally irrational. Do tall women really struggle that bad to get dates?

Not really, everyone has there own little thing. Trust me, someone like erections isn't immature or weird. I've dated women with much more interesting interests

Nature has its way of selecting people and their responsibilities as a female is supposed to be the child bearer and the male being the hunter.

Each species has a predefined role nature has set a sex to be.

The difference is our species has jumped out of that role set and we sometimes struggle against it.

Our circumstances have changed. Not every one needs to have children, there are plenty of people on the planet already.

I don't want to be a child bearer.

Do you actually want to be a hunter?

Same applies to hunting. There's no need to hunt, but unless a male has some features of a hunter, he will be at a disadvantage in a dating pool.

it is also the case that a male ejaculates about 1 billion sperm cells during each impregnation, and only one of them wins the race to a single egg. so the female has one possibility of a person in their single egg, but the male could produce 1 billion variants of that person depending on which sperm cell wins the race.
it makes me feel lucky that that one in a billion sperm cell from my father got to my mother's egg first, because if it had been any other sperm cell, i would not have come into existence.

Changes in circumstances in the last few hundred years have very little impact compared to millions of years of evolution.
For instance your desire for an attractive/employed guy might be related to your childbearing instinct, to pass on good genes.

Even if you don't want children.

Sure, you may want a healthy, athletic woman. But, it may take a while to realize that you are much better off with a down to earth basketball player rather than a prima donna gymnast used to being in the spotlight all the time.

You lost me here, a basketball player isn't more fat and less healthy. That's still pretty good in terms of fitness and health.

Tall women basketball players have trouble finding dates. I recall a story about one tall mom who forbid her very tall son from dating short women based on all the trouble she had dating.

If they accept to date shorter then I am sure they won't have much trouble.

But I bet they don't.

If they eliminate 95% of male population because they want men very tall like themselves, then of course they're gonna have trouble to find date - duh.

I'm 5"10, my mother is 5"11, my aunt in 6ft, and my sister is 6"2.

Trying to find shorter men who aren't insecure about having a taller girlfriend isn't exactly a breeze. They pretty much had to stick with trying to find taller men.

Women's obsessive preference for a taller man is very common (meaning not all) and real.

This is one of the things that I would say this constraint is not in the men's heads - and I say this without any remorse.

The only reason why I would not approach a taller woman is because on average women like men taller than them. There's already a minuscule chance any for a taller woman would be receptive to approach from me, so I simply don't waste my time to approach them.

Hell, I was rejected once by a shorter girl because she wanted much taller.

However, if a taller woman were to approach me, I'd be just as receptive as I would to any other height and I would have no problem or insecurity being with her...... but again, it's usually them who have this insecurity.

I went once with a taller girl who had no problem to sit together, but she literally avoided dancing and walks side by side with me, and when she had to walk with me she kept looking right and left,as if she's afraid to be recognized by some of her friends, she was obviously very embarrassed - it was almost comical. lol
I didn't say anything about it and she probably thought I didn't notice how insecure she was - but I did.

ACTUALLY, the first sperm to reach the egg almost NEVER gets in. It is usually a group effort of like five or so until the egg is weak enough for you to break through. I had a link for this, but I lost it. So instead, just remember this! you not only were not the first sperm, you were just the one that benefited off the hard work of the other sperm that paved the way for you. making you... wait for it... selfish, arrogant, and using. sound familiar? it should, the human species exemplify... it shows!

If we store enough sperms in sperm banks, then I think humanity can survive without men.

Oh, was this a serious topic? :lol:

In other words, things that I can do without any assistance from a man.

Why is height and build so important in relationships?--I can use a Hoyer lift to take care of larger spouse that can no longer move on her own.

I agree. Height and build are overrated.

It takes a REAL man to stick with his partner through difficult situations.
