I’m short compared to very tall women, at 5-8, but I have some dynamite dating advice for you with my very unique perspective, because I’ve always wanted to be at least six feet tall!
Are very tall women best at giving advice to tall women for meeting men? Many tall women do have sensational advice about meeting men.
But if you’re a tall women, would you want advice from another tall women who hates being tall?
How on earth can she help you?
A tall woman needs input from either a very tall woman who loves being tall, or — a not-so-very tall woman who would LOVE to be as tall as you! And that’s ME!
I’m 5-8 but wish I were six feet. This makes me no more odd than a woman with a B-cup bra size who gets breast implants; a woman with brown hair who goes blonde, or a skinny woman who dreams of having curves.
Because I wish I were very tall, I can bring something to the table when it comes to very tall women meeting men.
Besides, when you get right down to it, it’s all about self-confidence, and any smart woman — short, medium or tall — will know this.
Feeling diminished because “all the men like the short girls?”
Suppose “all the men” also liked the blondes. Would you feel downtrodden because you have brown or black hair rather than blonde?
Of course not! The fact that you can change your hair color doesn’t necessarily play into this, either.
It’s just that for some reason, when men prefer shorter women, this really eats up some tall women, because you know very well that if 95 percent of men preferred women with a different hair color than yours, you probably would not change your hair color for this reason.
Well, maybe you would, but many women absolutely wouldn’t even think of it.
What if most men wanted overweight women, and you’re thin? Would you get depressed over being fashionably slender and start stuffing yourself with pork chops and brownies? Of course not!
I know that most men like to see breasts on a woman. But I wear an A cup. Am I miserable and despondent over this?
Of course not! Some men are breast men. I leave it at that. I accept that.
And you must accept that some men, maybe MOST men, prefer a woman who’s shorter than they are. Instead, focus on a physical trait that most men LOVE:
Do you have luscious lips? Beautiful hair? A glowing complexion? Shapely legs? Nice breasts? A nice butt?
I know I will never catch a breast man, and most men are breast men, in that very few men actually look for women with A-cup breasts.
BUT SO WHAT. I’m not the least bit upset, because my type of man is a LEG man! I will flaunt my legs to get a man. Flaunt what you are proud of.

A tall woman can still have a great pair of legs! She can have enviable muscle tone and complexion as well.
She can have a great smile (which many men prize), and then there’s the whole personality and attitude thing.
Would you be drawn to a man who slumps and hangs his head?
Women often list self-confidence as a required trait in a man. Likewise, why would a man come your way if you’re slouched and trying to appear less tall?
This tells him you are not confident. This is a real turnoff to men. If you stand tall and proud of being tall, a man will see a strong woman with confidence and charm. Self-loathing is one of the ugliest traits.
Adorn your body.
Go all out with the hairdo, the jewelry, the clothes, the high heels.
But the moment a tall woman slouches and sends out those vibes of, “I hate being tall,” this will send men running in the opposite direction.
If you’re having trouble meeting men, it’s not because of your height in most cases.
Yes, some men won’t look at a woman over 5-6. My brother is 5-11 and I can tell you right now that he never looked at a woman over 5-9. This is his right.
He married a woman who’s 5-6. But likewise, I bet many tall women have strict preferences in their men as well!
Right? He MUST be this and that, right? He MUST be handsome, right? He MUST be slender, or have a full head of hair, or broad shoulders, or a hairy chest, etc., right?
If 100 men won’t come near you, being tall might explain why 10 won’t come near you.
The remaining 90 won’t come near you because you hang your head; you slouch; you exude low self-esteem; you’re too quiet; your body language says you don’t like yourself; your walk and mannerisms say you hate yourself.
And maybe it’s because you have brunette hair, and a few of those men want only a redhead.
Liberate yourself, put on the high heels, throw your shoulders back, make your presence known, and see what happens.
