Same Height Couples

Post Reply New Topic

I do live in the real world. In my experience, shorter men typically do find partners. It may be more difficult as various other possibilities can be for folks, but it’s not impossible. There are a lot of women out there. Even if as many as 8 or 9 women out of 10 prefer a taller partner, that still leaves a lot of women, including some on this forum, who don’t care one way or the other. There are also those who may prefer taller men but be open to dating someone shorter if he’s nice. There are very petite women who might find shorter heights still tall as well. My point is that it’s by no means hopeless.

While I'd love to call out the reductive bs from the usual characters in this thread, I feel I'm on shaky ground here.

I'm 6'1, my partner is 5'4.

I've never really had to seriously think about dating anyone taller than me, it's never come up. I don't think it would bother me, but who knows.

I like to kiss my partner on the stairs where she's a few steps up from me which puts our faces at the same level and brings other squeezable body parts into easy reach. I guess same height couples enjoy that convenience all the time.

I just need to say that it's s**t, gaslighty behavior to imply that a woman doesn't live in the real world when she talks about her experience as a woman and what she observes about women and her friends. Nowhere did I say that some women don't have this as a preference. It's also true that the world is a big place and there are plenty who don't give a f**k. I happen to know some of them. Some of y'all need to be a bit more respectful when women voice their opinions and experiences here, especially as they pertain to women.

I don't understand this obsession that keeps coming up with generalizing about what women are like and what women want. Even if it were accurate that most women are somehow stuck on requiring a tall partner, it still doesn't apply on an individual basis. Dating is not a numbers game. You only need to find the one person who is right for you, so who cares if most women want this or that.

And by the way, I don't believe it's true that most women need a taller partner. Imagine finding the love of your life and then rejecting him because his height is not what you had envisioned. Many people have all kinds of lists of what superficial attributes they want in a partner, but when they meet the right person those criteria are rightly deemed irrelevant.
