OLD and tall chicks

[CoandaEffect]

I’m 6’3” tall and I’ve noticed that on OLD chicks that are abnormally tall (5’10” +) are far more likely to answer my texts. I assume it’s because they really don’t want to date guys shorter than them.

I’ve started searching them out and targeting them. There are very few of them, of course. Anyone else had a similar experience?

I find tall-ish women to be very attractive. They are the most attractive women for me. I prefer to date as tall as possible but do not rule out women below 5'7". Regardless of what method of meeting women you use, you should be targeting 5'9"-6'1" women. I'm astounded when 6'2"+ guys don't focus on 5'9"/5'10"+ women.

I'm only 5'10", so I can go for 5'7"-5'10" women. That can be a tough sell for me. I had a 5'11" girlfriend for a time. The taller women tend to be active and athletic, and taller women share my interest in athletic endeavors more than 5'0"-5'6" women. There are many women into fitness in the 5'0"-5'6" crowd, but you're more likely to find a woman who is really passionate about some sport/athletic endeavor in the 5'7"+ crowd.

Whether we like to accept it or not, we are the products of social conditioning. It was bred into us over thousands of generations that a couple looks normal if the man is taller than the woman. This order was originally set up to reflect or represent the dominance of men over women and the submission of women to men. So even today, to align with this ancient customary order, men automatically seek shorter partners and women seek the opposite.

Because of this social programming, men who are taller are still viewed by women as more desirable than their shorter counterparts. Similarly, men dont want to settle down women taller than them because taller still means more dominant and shorter still means submissive.

I lost count of the number of tall women I saw during my clubbing days who would be craning their necks above the crowd in the club to search for men at least of a similar height. They would then position themselves near him or just approach directly. In those cases, height was the only variable they were interested in. It didnt matter if the guy was ugly, badly dressed or on drugs. All they wanted was to pair up with someone who enabled them to be compliant to the customary order.

No-matter how woke or progressive modern society thinks it is, it is still bound by old engrained standards founded many moons ago. We conform to the rules without even thinking and our tastes are even locked in place to fulfil custom. Taller men are still considered “hotter”.

But for how long will this blind compliance to order last? I somehow think the end is near. Feminism is at its strongest in human history right now. As soon as feminists become awake to the fact that when women say “we want taller men”, they essentially are saying “because we want to remain submissive to them”, the whole flavour of the dish will be freshly evaluated.

Watch this space. Tick tock tick tock

Any guy over 6' is lucky IMO as it pertains to OLD. A lot less competition and most of the girls I've seen taller than 5'10" were slim.

Around my area at least, I've come across quite a few of them because I suspect they are still looking as there aren't too many tall and attractive guys around so they stay available longer.

The taller a man is, the larger the swath of the dating pool he had access to. For men, being tall is a source of confidence

The reverse is not true. The taller a woman is, the fewer men she will have willing to date her because men don't tend to date women who are taller than them. For women, being tall is a potential source of insecurity, especially if they're less attractive.

Back when I used OLD I would usually check a woman's height every time I saw a hottie, because they were often taller than me.

Also, most of them posted pics that made them look high-maintenance. Not sure if this is a thing elsewhere?

Edit to add statistical data:

Assuming men don't date up in height, the average man (who measures 5'10") has access to 95% of women.

Assuming women don't date down in height, a woman who is 5'10" has access to only 50% of men.

The more I think about this the more I think that really tall chicks probably have a scarcity mindset (like a good deal of men). Whereas your average chick lives in abundance.

I'm not attracted to tall girls and other giraffes, so I always thought they liked me because I just didn't care about making a good impression on them, but CoandaEffect made a very solid point:

Didn't think about this before but this would explain quite a lot!

They may, but they are women. 5'10"+ women are still fussy in their selection process. Most 5'10"+ women generate a good amount of interest both on swipe apps and offline.

Tall girls don't date short guys unfortunately. It can happen but it's really rare. I'm 6.2 and I like tall girls (5.9-5.11), they always tell me they don't date short guys and I believe them. But short guys still can date really hot chicks, but not tall ones.

For me, the most attractive women are 5'7"-6'2". Due to my participation in and passion for athletics, these are the women with whom I share the greatest amount of compatibility.

I'm 5'10". I had a 5'11" girlfriend for a period of time. At 5'10", it's not the easiest sell for me to go after 5'7"-5'9" women, but it's achieveable. 5'10" is borderline. 5'11"-6'2" is quite difficult, simply because their fussiness makes it an extremely difficult proposition for me to seduce them.

5'0"-5'6" is usually no issue for me.

I am 6ft4 and in high school went on a date with a girl that was 6ft5 and later went onto play D1 basketball and volleyball. She kept commenting on how nice it was to be able to actually look straight ahead at someone and not down. She was an awesome girl but it didn’t work out.

At 6ft4 I will often see a 10... smoking body.., amazing smile giving me all sorts of signs she’s interested. Some times it’s so blatant I often wonder if she’s a high end escort . But last spring I realized most of them are 5ft10 and above. So like mentioned above if they actually see a male thats taller their biological programming goes into hyper drive because most guys are shorter. At 6ft4 I wouldn’t think twice about a girl that’s over 6ft... some guy that’s 5ft6 will probably shy away...

I don’t like tall women. Their body proportions get out of whack. Same with short women. I stick to the 5’2-5’6 range.

I used to think it didn’t matter but it does.

This is 100% inaccurate

Outside of online dating you would be surprised at how many tall chicks go for shorter guys.
I've heard comments exactly like yours from other people over several decades, and I always thought in my head that I didn't have a chance with taller women.
Taller women are actually attracted to masculine guys. But the height difference has to be within a foot or less.
I'm 5'11" and I've met chicks in the club that were 6'2" trying to make out with me.
Swedish chicks are tall as hell.

Now online dating is a different story.
EVERYONE is picky online! Even that midget dwarf that stands 3'4" tall and wants a guy 6'6" tall.
It's laughably ridiculous!

More people are getting their dates through swipe apps and occasionally websites for the old people and some 30s/40s divorcees. People show their true colors online.

If meeting women primarily online, you have to be so much more superior to stand out from the competition. If offline, you can attract a woman 1-2 inches shorter, online you'll need to be 4-5 inches taller than her.

I think it's pretty accurate, I don't see any tall chicks with short guys, I didn't say it was impossible but it's pretty unlikely, you won't see a 5.11 girl with a 5.6 guy, masculine or not.

It doesn't matter how the 5'11" woman meets men either, she's still going to be looking for someone at least her height. She might be open to more possibilities with real world approaches that tech assisted initial approaches.

Shes shvt out of luck then. About 35% of US men are at least 5’11 (based on normal distribution average height of 5’9.5)

I've noticed from my experience that "majority" of the girls want to date someone that can still be 2-3" taller than them when they wear their favorite heals. Assuming your average heels are between 2-3", a girl say, 5'2" would want someone around 5'7"-5'8" or taller for example. Of course there are going to be exceptions but this is the bell curve I've noticed in the US at least.

These are what you call “leftover women”.

I’m 6’3 240 and I always liked smaller petite women. They tend to wear high heels which I very much enjoy.

Short women in high heels look goofy... much prefer seeing a tall women with long sexy legs in high heels.

So I married a 5'11" and had three daughters with her. All the girls i was attracted to in college were tall . 5'8" or above. I think I was looking for my Amazon mother to bear me strong athletic children in my subconscious

What I found was as she aged, she got thick...and what was slender long legs turned into blocky thick middle. While the petite girls got more curves as they aged.

When I got out in the dating market I began to appreciate the flexibility and athleticism of the smaller gals. Especially in bed. I got to pick them up and manhandle them more. Something I never did 20 years earlier. I also wasn't looking for an optimal "mother of my children"

I really had a change of preference when I was out at a music venue, dancing with a 5'11" gal 10 years younger than me. I thought "wow she is not as agile as that little gal (who was 15 years older than her) the other night" and it was a bit of a boner killer. So my tastes had changed over the years, but a tall slender set of legs in a tight pair of blue jeans still make my putter flutter, but seldom do they have the agility and reactions like the little gals do.
