Heightist or preference?

Had a recent interaction with a friend who categorically refuses to meet (or even consider meeting) anyone who isn't at least a couple of inches taller than her. Doesn't matter how great a guy he is, or how good looking, if he doesn't meet her height requirements then that's it.

Is this a thing?

She couldn't see why i thought it strange that she would completely rule someone out because of their height. She says her preference is taller men, and ultimately we are all allowed to have preferences, but to me she is taking it beyond just a preference. She's been single for many years, and not happily so, yet she absolutely won't budge on this.

She's 5ft 9 so, to me, she's definitely limiting her options

Do others set similar specific requirements?

Sounds like your friend is extremely shallow and no wonder she continues to be single.

Ofcourse we are all different but she should look herself in the mirror and realise how shallow she is.

I hope and pray I never meet her.

What an utterly ridiculous comment.

A woman is attracted to a specific type and this makes her shallow? Should she occasionally pump wee guys then to be more inclusive and PC?

What about women who specify they're here for big dicks? Should they take one for the team and fuck a guy with a micro penis?

We all have likes, dislikes and preferences. As long as these are expressed in a respectful and adult way then I fail to see the issue.

Oh no, don't trigger the short kings!

It's just personal preference, which I have no problem with whatsoever. The only issue I see sometimes is the hypocrisy of judging a man by his height but being offended when someone else has a different preference - body type, race, gender etc. Its not fat phobic, its not racist, its not transphobic, its just personal preference!

Or is your friend a Heightist?! 😱🤣

Oops!! Didn't expect this post to get such strong reactions from people, did I touch a nerve?!

I just find it a bit sad that she's potentially ruling out some genuinely nice blokes because they happen to not be deemed tall enough.

I think, to some degree, being so specific about physical attributes on fab makes sense. If you're purely looking to hook up for sex and only want to meet a particular physical type. My friend isn't on here though (as far as I know!) and is looking for a long term romantic relationship.

That's a very strong reaction. She's actually an extremely kind and genuine person. You don't meet her minimum height requirements though so you're safe.

It’s statements like that that make people feel like they can’t be honest without fear of being called shallow, when you break it down calling someone shallow is just judging them for not having the same taste as you.

Having a height preference is no different from having a hair colour preference or build preference, tattoos or no tattoos etc

Everyone has something they would say no to, that’s absolutely fine and not shallow at all

I'm 6ft tall, and if you asked me my general preference I'd say taller than me - but just because they're taller, doesn't mean we'd be compatible. My other half is 5ft 6/7, and I'm more than happy! 🥰

I agree my wife has stated on her profile that she won't meet anyone under 6ft at 5.10 she's on the taller side. The amount of idiots that think they can change her preferences is unbelievable, can folk just accept folks likes and dislikes there someone for everyone out there.

I’m exactly the same. Most men under 6’ add an inch or so on, so I wouldn’t meet someone who was under 6’. It just doesn’t feel right. I’ve heard were all the same size laid down so many times, but I don’t want to be laid down all the time!

"Had a recent interaction with a friend who categorically refuses to meet (or even consider meeting) anyone who isn't at least a couple of inches taller than her. Doesn't matter how great a guy he is, or how good looking, if he doesn't meet her height requirements then that's it.

Is this a thing?

She couldn't see why i thought it strange

that she would completely rule someone out because of their height. She says her preference is taller men, and ultimately we are all allowed to have preferences, but to me she is taking it beyond just a preference. She's been single for many years, and not happily so, yet she absolutely won't budge on this.

She's 5ft 9 so, to me, she's definitely limiting her options

Do others set similar specific requirements? "

Just for clarification I'm taken and We're Both extremely happy but I'm very aware this a real thing lol

I had my 1st meet on here within a week of joining, this is prior to meeting My other half - the reason for the meet?

Athletic build

But

Primarily My height

She was 4ft11

I'm 6ft8 lol

My good girl also loves My height (amongst other things) as well lol

This one's always puzzled me but it's obviously a preference of some people I'd rather go off someone's vibe than not consider because of height

It's just a preference, like everything else you look for in an 'ideal' playmate. If you feel you can compromise then thats great, if not then dont.

It's not right that anyone should be called out for a preference, unless its criminal. You like what you like, you dont have to like what others think you should,

"Some men get very intimidated by taller women, maybe she's had negative experiences. Maybe it makes *her* feel self-conscious. Dismissing a preference as shallowness without any context suggests that mirror might be better deployed elsewhere..."

You think Tom Cruise gets intimated by taller women lmao

What a stupid comment.

Anyone who judges by height alone is extremely shallow.

Tom Cruise has a net worth of £600 million, I'm not sure his height really comes into it. He has been known to wear shoes with built up soles though.

At 5 ft everyone is usually taller than me

Everyone has preferences why can’t height be one of them?

It’s all about choice at the end of the day

It is a common thing

I’ve dated men 6ft5 but it felt weird as I’m 5 ft 8.

I now prefer men under 6ft or better shorter than me.

He also does his own stunts which very few others can do regardless of height.

On the flip side, some may have a preference for shorter. Personally, someone over a certain height may not be my type, because I am short-er myself

As a midget reaching just a whopping 5’9 I’ve never had an issue with height but that’s because I understand not all women like wee smol dudes like me. It’s fair enough as, well, each to their own

I started reading top to bottom, then things escalated and I was like ‘whoa, that was fast and skipped several lines to leave my 2 cents.

Having a height preference is no different to liking/preferring a hair colour, or any other feature you find attractive.

We like what we like, and being dead set someone is taller than you is just another thing really.

She will have many reasons, all justifiable to her, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter as long as she’s happy in the long run.

(I’m 6’5”, so I’m one to talk… no one’s ever said ‘sorry you’re too tall’)

"Well that went down hill pretty quickly. The block button is a blessing indeed. Fancy people been ripped a new arsehole for having a preference 🙈

Yip, your blocked too.

Us men sure don't need shallow women.

I'm 5ft 5 so yeah I don't find shorter men's height a turn on..

If there's other things going for them then height won't matter but initially yeah it would be an uphill battle.

But same can be said by a 6ft guy initially I'd be attracted by height but if that's all that's going for him he'd also have a battle keeping intrest.

You were honest with me with your preferences and I very much took it on board.

But in keeping with the topic, a preference is a preference and who is anyone to argue or fight it?

OP : i think everyone has a preference tbf at 5ft 9 im sure shes had a lot of stick by short insecure guys (see mids reply) over the years so can understand why she wants to be able to put her heels on without feeling bad.

At 5ft 7 I dont let my short height hold me back in anyway but tbf my farther was 5ft so I had accepted i was goning to be short so 5ft 7 was winning haha honestly cant think of the last time I even took my height into it when talking to someone.

It’s just personal preference and she shouldn’t ’make Do’ just to have a partner

Well that's true, we all have our preference same as I wouldn't touch a female over size 12, big boobs and fat are a turn off for me, exact same as anyone under 6 foot is not for many.

I'm sure there are lovely minded larger ladies on here, and we all have choices

Sounds like your friend is extremely shallow and no wonder she continues to be single.

Ofcourse we are all different but she should look herself in the mirror and realise how shallow she is.

I hope and pray I never meet her."

Just WTF! I won't meet guys who are under 180 cm, that is my preference or am I not entitled to preference?

Your friend has her preferences and she stands by them.

That's very commendable, even if it means she is ruling out a big percentage of guys.
