Is it normal for guys to not like tall girls?

I am a solid 5'10" and a guy rejected me when I asked him out for a coffee because he said I was "too tall" and he didn't want to date an "amazon". I didn't have a good comeback either so I walked away. He's taller than me, so I don't see what the big deal is. Is it normal for guys to not like tall girls? Why wouldn't they?

  • One of the longest relationships I had was with a Russian girl nearly my height (I'm 5'11).

    I'm not sure why guys dislike tall girls. Personally, I don't care what size they come in.

    I'm definitely turned off by women who are taller than me. I need someone that I can hold, it would just feel... weird.

    That's pretty mean though that he would call you a name like that. I don't understand what would cause someone to do that...

    I couldn't go out with anyone over 5'7. It's nothing about domination, and all about opposites....lots of shorter guys really have a thing for tall women.

    Also, sex is better IMO with shorter women (can throw them around the bed a bit more and lift them up easier!!)....but that's just me. perhaps I wouldn't have to arch my back so much!

    Must be some throwback to men having to be physically dominant. The word "amazon" is kind of revealing, isn't it?

    I'm not much above 5'10" and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Tall girls often have a certain something about them that I really don't know how to begin describing.

  • Being tall is a manly trait, and I don't think most men like women with a manly trait.

    maybe tall girls have huge vaginas so if a mans cock isnt bigger than average he wouldnt want nothing to do with it, regardless of how tall he is.

    It's normal for them not to want to go out with someone taller than them, but that guy was just a major jerk to you and his response was not normal. I wouldn't hit on a girl taller than me (5'8") but if a taller, attractive girl, asked me out for coffee, I would accept her offer in a second. I think (for the most part) girls taller than myself are not attracted to guys shorter than them, so that's why I don't ask them out. I leave it up to the taller girls to come to me.

    Haha I just like my girls to be cute and a girl that's taller than me is more to the hot side of the spectrum so I like a tulle of both but tall kinda eliminates their ability o be cute or adorable

    I'm only an inch shorter than you. Guys NEVER had a problem with my height. If a guy rejected you because of your height, then he ain't worth it. I read that most guys like short girls, but there's guys that like tall girls too. Hang in there

    May I share: I am not tall, and 5 times in my life I've had situations with taller women:

    Once in class (she was 5'10") with a not so subtle "rub my ass with her boots thru most of an entire class" episode (she had a hidden crush on me and this just came out all of a sudden - I told her loudly in class to stop doing it).

    Another was in college when I was invited to a study thing with my best friend, his girlfriend and her sister (all same college as me); suddenly this 6' sister was attacking me and trying to french kiss.

    One of the other times was a blind date a friend set up and we were both like "what is our mutual friend THINKING?"

    The 4th case was a married woman who just wanted to fool around, which I refused.

    The fifth was the friend of a friend who I made the mistake of telling I was horny, so she "did" me on the spot in an act of sympathy, and honestly, physiologically speaking we did not "mesh" the act was really awkward feeling with such a height disparity.

    It just felt like I'd be their kid, people would give us dirty looks when together (this happened with the married woman I had no clue about), that I would be perceived as a "sympathy date", that I'm not a real man because I'm not as tall as her, etc.

    I just can't do it.

  • I love tall girls/women and I'm nearly 6 ft.-as long as their not overweight I don't mind at all.

    It's normal, but he was mean. 5"10 isn't THAT tall.

    You will be very special for someone, I find it very hard to find taller pretty girls to date! For everyone there is someone out there for them. But what you mention is common, except for the guy being a jerk about it!

    I'm 6'2", and anyone under maybe 5'5" is outside my comfort zone. But every guy has different tastes. The kind of guy who would criticize something about your appearance, though, is just a jerk. Not worth thinking about.

    That said, don't wear high heels. Tall is fine, but no guy wants to look like Tom Cruise under Katie Holmes's chin.
