I had a friend back in college who is pretty tall and she was always having problems dating a guy. She usually ended up getting dumped. She used to cry on me saying she just had no luck with guys. Most of the guys she dated were shorter than her. I was thinking maybe it had something to do with her height? Do guys feel intimidated with tall girls? I mean unless they're like Tom Cruise or somebody. What do you think?

If a guy dumps a lady because he us short then he is the loser!!! Tall women are wonderful people I ought to know.lol If guys feel intimidated then they most likely have other problems too and are not worth the effort, and would not be good in any relationship anyway. Your friend should be more selective in her friends. She is picking all around losers.

No, not at all. I'm not Tom Cruise but tall girls just don't intimidate me. It just makes no sense for me to feel something about it. I've been with tall ladies and they do just fine with the shorter ones. Height doesn't really determine if a relationship will go smooth or not. There are other more important factors of course like personality and so on. Height, no matter how tall, is just at the bottom of the reasons why relationships can go wrong. If height is the case, then i guess your the guys who dumped your friend doesn't deserved her because they are simply insecure about themselves. They're just not confident enough to handle taller ladies.

You're probably right. Those guys were probably insecured as my friend is very pretty too but i think she didn't realize that. She seemed like the one feeling insecure all the time. i don't get her. If I had her height i would be more confident about myself and dump guys all the time. lol just kidding. thanks for your response.

I think guys who are intimidated by tall women probably don't ask them out in the first place, so I doubt if height is her problem. I'm 5'10" and had plenty of dates with guys shorter than me and I did some of the dumping myself. My husband is about the same height as I am, and he recognizes that us tall women have some interesting advantages.....
If she is always getting dumped, perhaps she needs to look at her own behavior and see if there is something she is doing that discourages these guys from becoming more involved with her. I don't know your friend, but she could be acting too needy, too possessive, too gabby, too stuck on herself, maybe she has poor manners, I don't know, mnaybe she just hasn't run across the one she's meant for yet, but I doubt it is because she is too tall!

Yes man feel intimidate with a tall girl...this is sure, well depend how much tall she is. If she have 1,90...i don t know the answer, but if she have 1,75, she intimidate, and if she have a great body too...be sure that will be very hard to find a man. Man usual want short woman ,maybe beacuse is protetective syndrom, they want to protect a woman, and when a woman is tall...they feel little disapointed.
I saw tall man with short woman and tall woman with man with same tall....i don t like when a woman is taller...but i saw too, couples who are really nice toghether even the woman is little taller, as...Tom Cruise...
