Why is height such an issue with women, short or tall?

Question

I understand that women feel more secure with a big or tall guy..but I don't understand why. I feel like women pass on me 'just' because of my height. I'm a good looking, intelligent, and stable man but I'm 5'8 185 real athletic build. I'm not the shortest but still considered short. I understand more with the taller women about not wanting to look down on their date..literally. But what about the shorter women..5'0 to 5'5 that will only date guys 6ft and up? Is this realistic?

For the record, I don't have a problem with dating taller women and usually end up doing so. What's up short women?

Answer 1

i'm a short girl and i like guys that i can look in the eye

Answer 2

I am a 5'3" woman and I like my man to be taller than me, but not necessarily 6ft and up.  Tall is very becoming, but if I met a guy that was only 5'8" (like yourself) I would think that was just as good; maybe even better for hugging and kissing, too.  

Answer 3

Because we have learned that idealistically, the guy is several inches taller because...it looks natural?  I don't know.  Height shouldn't matter, because you can't control it.  And if a girl cares about it, shes not worth it.

Answer mine please?
