Guys mostly, please tell me...?

Question

I always feel really insecure about myself because I am tall ( about 5 foot 10 ) I also have strawberry blonde hair. I feel like guys don't come up to me because of these features. So I was wondering, guys: would you date a girl who was as tall as me, or do you find tall girls unattractive?

LOL. No, my hair is not orange... and sometimes i feel really good about my appearance, and other times i don't.

Thank you so much you guys! It is so nice to know that there are genuine men out there who actually respect women. This really made me feel better. Thanks again!!

Answer 1

It's ok with me, i'm 5'9 and I love strawberry blonde hair lol. Heignt doesn't bother me. Just be happy being you and the right guy will come along. A guy that loves your height and your hair, the others are just intimidated. Don't worry, just wait.

Answer 2

My wife is 5'10" too. She is taller than me. Many men do feel threaten to date a girl that is taller than them. At least that is what my wife has told me. However, you may have better luck dating a person from a different culture. Stereotipicaly speaking white men like small girls. However, black, some hispanics and chinese like the big girls. It does seem that shorter men do like bigger girl. Problem is that they may be too short. That at least is the problem that my wife encountered. I find that dating is a difficult thing. People are never happy and go into things with unrealistic expectations. The default is that the person has too many fault. Funny thing is that they do not look at their own fault. Also, a lot of people look at what they can gain but yet never give a though at what they can offer themselves.

Good strategies for dating that seem to work for me is to talk to people outside of the dating scene. For example, I always have an awful time at bars and dance clubs. Probably because I can't dance but, also because people are very defensive there. Now, put me in a class of some sort like a gym class or school class where you have to work in groups and is a completely different story. The thing is that in those environments people get to see things other aspects of your besides the physical. For example, your attitude toward solving a problem. How funny or unfunny you are etc etc.

Answer 3

Haha. Cutest post I've seen today.

No, tall women are not imposing to me. Then again I'm 6'1".

To some guys, yes it maybe intimidating. Some of it may depend on your own body language. Are you open, or closed? Do you lord over shorter boys?

Different things appeal to different men.

You might accentuating your height a couple of times to see what different reactions you get. Where tall hells one night, or big platform shoes that make you 6'3". Turn your height into a conversation starter. Don't think of it as a conversation preventer!

Answer 4

Some guys are intimidated by tall women, and some guys won't even approach them. You ought not to feel insecure, but confident in your attractiveness. Then you need to send the signals that you're approachable, and wait for guys to sense that. Or you can reach out and do the approaching.

Given your height, you'll probably have more luck with guys your height or taller.

Answer 5

I am 6'-0", and there was a 6'-2" girl who wouldn't date me, but I have no problems with height.

For some guys, it may be an ego or control issue, but height is one of the most assinine physical features to balk at.

Desiree was also strawberry blonde, and she was hot. Maybe I was too short for her...

Answer 6

I'm 5'10 as well and have dated a couple of women my same height. I personally don't have any hangups about women that are even taller than myself but I can understand those who do. If you let the guy know it doesn't bother you, chances are it's not going to bother him either. You probably wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't like you simply because of your height anyway. I will tell you one thing though, guys do love some long legs, so show them what your workin with.

Answer 7

I'm 6' and have never had any guy have any problems coming up to me. I have even had very short men approach me. It used to bother me a lot when I was younger. But then a really good guy friend of mine said. "Being your height is great because unlike all the other girls in the room you stand out more" I thought it was a nice compliment.

Answer 8

that really depends how old you are. and tall girls can be just as beautiful as any other height girls... height really doesn't matter.. unless of course if the guy is an *** and want to feel all dominant all the time.

there shouldn't really be a reason why guys "avoid' you.. maybe u dont act like urself much or maybe ur a tad mean sometimes? dunno but even if u think its untrue it actually might be... pay attention to the little things that u think are funny but may hurt others or cause them to feel uncomfortable ;)

Answer 9

I don't like tall girls, but some guys love long legs! You should try going out with some school basketball players or something. Good advice?

=)

Answer 10

tall girls are just as much fun as their shorter counter-parts! don't believe that a guy is afraid of u cuz ur tall and have strawberry blonde hair. it must be something else. is it a possibillity that u are very hot?? alot of guys are afraid to approach hot women that they think are unaproachable! my suggestion is that maybe u might trying to approach a guy that u think is hot. u might be suprised by the response u get!!
