Why do women prefer tall men?
Every now and then you hear women talk about rejecting men only because they are below 6 feet. Men from all around the world struggle to go on dates because they might be too short. What is the reason behind this preference?
If we go back to evolution, men were the protectors and women were the care takers. Naturally, women would select men who had the best ability to protect their family, it was an investment women made for their future. Men who were taller and had more muscle power were usually selected. These men had only one job back then, provide for his family and keep them safe. You are probably wondering how does this theory apply to us now?
Surprisingly, we may have changed socially, but our biological needs have not changed as much. Modern women still prefer taller men because it makes them feel petite, safe, feminine and protected. These are all feelings that make women feel loved and taken care of. These are essential feelings women must feel in a relationship in order to want to pursue it for the long hall. This has caused many men to lie about their height on dating profiles, wear shoes with heels or some men even get surgery to grow taller!
How do we solve this problem? What are the changes both women AND men need to make in order to open up their dating pool?
Things Women need to do:
Do NOT have an unrealistic height preference. I understand you don’t want someone shorter than you but try to keep an open mind to men who are exactly your height or taller. You don’t want to look like a toddler next to your man.
Think of famous celebrity couples who are loved by the public despite having no height difference or the woman is sometimes taller. Zendaya and Tom Holland, Priyanka and Nick Jonas, Rosie Huntington - Whiteley and Jason Statham. Focusing on these couples will slowly help change stereotypes in your head about dating shorter men.
If you truly want a life partner you need to have the maturity and ability to think about a compatible personality rather than height preferences. There are millions of attractive guys who are not tall, Tom Holland being one of them.
Focus on chivalry and confidence of a man, usually when women focus on these qualities they tend to overlook short height in men. Women want to feel like they are being taken care of and protected. A confident man can make a women feel that way regardless of his height.
