Why do many women like tall men?

For me, I don't need height in a man for me to feel safe. I was with a man 2 inches shorter than me for 12 years, and his height is not why we broke up. He was short but that didn't affect his ability to protect his family. I didn't settle. At the time, I truly loved him. He didn't need to be taller for me to feel feminine and protected. Most mature women (regardless of age) know this.

Some women like that taller men give them a sense of safety and security. Others like that they can feel tiny and feminine. What some short women won't admit to is wanting a tall man to marry so her sons won't be short. It doesn't work that way but try telling them that. DNA is an interesting thing.

It's almost like men preferring thin, young women with hourglass figures. Do a lot of men like women like that? Sure they do! Do all men like women shaped like that? Again, no. Some men like small, petite women with itty bitty boobs. Other men like plus size women with big boobs who make them laugh, like me. 😉

As a woman who is quite attracted to shorter guys, and sometimes will consider a taller guy if he's awesome (I know, I'm backwards 😆), this is something I have thought a lot about, especially here on Q where I get seemingly attacked by men who believe that all women are the same.

Therefore, you can't assume that all women are attracted to tall, dark, and handsome. I know that isn't what I like in a man. Some women may prefer that stereotype to the exclusion of anything else, but think about it. Would you like a woman to date you for who you are, or because you fit her secret checklist?

So if you're shorter, it might take you longer to find your princess. Does that mean it's impossible? Not at all. There's these stories about the prince going to look for the girl if his dreams for a good reason.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Do a lot of women like tall guys? Sure they do. Do all women like tall guys? Not even close!
