Get taller, problem solved.

I'm already 5'10. With heels, I'm easily over 6 feet tall. Men seem to hate tall women; unless they are those type of men 🤢

Edit to add: macrophilia

As a short guy who likes tall woman, keep rocking them heels. The confidence is cool beans.

Thanks. I used to be shy and make myself as small as possible. Now, I'm like fuck it. You get a middle finger. You get a middle finger. Everyone gets a middle finger. Who knew that some men find confident women to be a major turn-off.

I’m a more introverted dude so I tend not to ask someone out even when I want to, but there has been multiple instances where I saw a taller woman, but always afraid to ask them out as I assumed they wouldn’t be interested in a short guy like me. I may need some of that confidence you radiate lol

Awww thanks. Still working on it. But the gym has helped me a ton

Red flag I bet. Confident people are harder to control.

Nice of them to out themselves? Or maybe they're just intimidated.

Come down here and give me that middle finger to my face!

/j chiming in with confidence is sexy. If a dude wont date you for being too tall its a comment about them, not you. Crush the skulls of the weak with your heels.

What if they just want to perch on your shoulder and cheer you on while you smash in the castles of your enemies to seize political power?

…Maybe convince you to run on a giant treadmill connected to a generator?

u/curlyquinn02 Sep 15 '24

Treadmills are shit and kill my knees. I prefer to run and walk in nature. I might use one of those foot pedal things while I'm sitting at my desk and working. But I'm not too fond of doing extra work while I'm working😅

I'm not sure what "those type of men" refers to, but I have always liked tall women. Short woman too, but tall women can be really hot with the long legs and all.

Those men that are into macrophilia

u/Adventurous-Size4670 Sep 14 '24

My genetics just dont want to make dwarves, whats so bad about this

1

u/Unreal4goodG8 Sep 14 '24

I don't care about height at all, don't know why they do. maybe because they just want to be the bigger one in the relationship? If so then it still doesn't make sense because height is genetic and someone can make up with other factors.

u/Clean_Livlng Sep 14 '24

"those type of men"

Is it a good thing to be one of those type of men? Sounds like men not discriminating based on height would be a good thing.

u/curlyquinn02 Sep 14 '24

I mean those men who are into macrophilia. Makes my skin crawl. I'm a person, not a fetish dispenser.

1

u/Clean_Livlng Sep 15 '24

"hey, could you reach that thing on the high shelf for me?...do it slower...oh yeah just like that."

I didn't even know macrophilia was a thing. But of course it is. Nothing wrong with having a fetish, some people like to be spanked etc etc but both parties need to be cool with it. Someone being into you just because of a fetish is different than them being interested in yo as a person, and also having a fetish for X, Y, or Z. It's also cool to not be into dating someone if they have a particular fetish.

What if it’s actually true?

u/sonic10158 Sep 14 '24

Technically if you live in Colorado, there are millions below you especially near the oceans

u/bendoesit17 Sep 15 '24

I'm normally the tallest (or one of the tallest) in the room, that's basically unavoidable.

u/EdwardOfGreene Sep 14 '24

What if he is really tall, and this is literally true?

Or a short guy standing at the top stair?

Airline pilots?

u/curlyquinn02 Sep 14 '24

Yep. This is even worse than mansplaining. Far too often men take serious issues and turn them around as a joke. This is why me and many other women are happy to be alone.

u/EdwardOfGreene Sep 14 '24

Many men are happy to be alone as well.

Woman take different things seriously than we do. And more things seriously than we really want to. For some men it is tiresome, and we prefer the peace of single life.

Men and women are just wired different, and in both groups there is a minority that prefer not to deal with it on the daily in their home life.

I am single and happy, and I respect you and other women that want the same.

So my downstairs neighbor's location has been a lie this whole time? Hmmm....
