If there is a thing about Lima women only wanting tall men I can’t say but as a women, I can say not all women have the exact same set standards for who they are attracted to and who they are not.

Sorry you were hurt but you have to toughen up a bit
and remember that men have rejected women based on their looks for like EVER: too fat, breasts too small, face not pretty. If you took every rejection personally or as a mandate on your self worth, you will be offended for the rest of your life.

Attraction is subjective. I’m 5’8 and when I was single dated men shorter than me. Stuff I rejected men over was usually based on their personality or weird stuff that just bugged me about them.

Hello Mig. Welcome to DS.

100% of anything is rare in nature. I don't care to do the research, but I'd guess the percentage of women who require men to be tall is approximately equal to the percentage of men who require big tits on their women. May they find each other and make each other miserable with their meaningful priorities.

There is somebody for everyone. Why worry about the stereotypical masses? Just keep your eye out for the one exceptional woman who is right for you. The most exceptional couples I know ignored the stereotypes and found happiness on their own, self-defined priorities.

I dated a short guy. Then I dated a tall guy. She says she likes tall men but why? Does she find them more confident? More protective? Maybe someone from her past was tall and it influenced her in this way. Everything doesn't need to be taken personally (though I know it's HARD) That was a rude thing of her to say, why would you want someone in your life anyways who is that rude and idiotic? Don't see it as your loss... See it as hers.

i feel sorry for the tall guy that she approves off
she is a small person inside

I wonder if she made this up to shut you up and make you go away? We don't have to take everything that people say as serious or the truth. She didn't want to get to know you so that is all there is, and doesn't reflect on you as you. This sounds like a good 'lie' to tell to make guys leave her alone and it puts it on the other person to feel bad about themselves.

Just because you "have your eyes on" someone, I doesn't mean you can compel them to date you or even like you.

I'm kinda with urbangardner on this. Maybe you were approaching stalker status and she was desperate to get rid of you?

Did she say this to you on line, like on a dating site? If so I can totally see someone saying that because when you aren’t meeting face to face and looking someone directly, it’s easier to be very matter of fact about what you don’t want. If she said it to you in person then I agree it may have been to make sure you got the message she was wasn’t interested in you.

Or, she’s just simply attracted to tall men because that’s what she desires and in that case, nothing you can do about that. Move on.

As in Lima, Ohio? I dunno. Genetics: Maybe tallness = strength to some women.

OP: Sounds like you came up a bit "short" lol.. sorry, couldn't resist. So, she thinks you're too short..well, fuck her then (not literally) and move on. Find a women that dig dudes your height.

It sounds to me that there was something just missing...… Sometimes people do have a 'type' that they're attracted to however we're all different and all have different attractions

I do think it was a rather callous and unkind statement and you're better off without her …… Big hug.....xo

It’s not about the height. She wasn’t attracted to you because she just wasn’t attracted.
I m sorry you got hurt..

I think most of your replies er are right. i have thought it out for sometime and she was just probably trying to get rid of me and making my height as an excuse to that. Anyway, there are a lot of fishes in the sea. I also like someone who is direct to the point and does not need any excuses to tell me the truth.

Thanks guys.

Was she not direct to the point when she said "no" to your initial request to date?

Or did she actually say "No, I don't date short men. My ideal man is tall so I can't be with someone like you" when you first approached her for a date?
