I'll accept that, but only if you look like this when you're done screaming. That would make my day entirely!! Seeing that face would make me make this face:

It's not really about being protected "from" anything for me. It's just a feeling of being safe and, for me, smaller than the guy I'm with. I don't think I categorize feeling safe with a tangible thing, it's more something I sense. I can buy a security system and a house ina good neighbourhood by myself and I don't go to dangerous places as a general rule. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't appreciate a man providing those things or taking me to places that are safe- they are important and I have no desire to downplay them at all. I'm not saying men shorter than me can't provide the kind of intangible sense of safety and protection I am talking about, but speaking from experience, I have felt that "thing," whatever you want to call it, more often with men who are taller than me. Again, this is entirely personal. I am not speaking for all women, nor do I want to offend any of the men out there who may read this.


There's also a part of me that would love to be able to be swung up in a man's arms and carried off somewhere. I don't see that happening with a guy who is 5'4" or so, me being almost six feet tall,unless he is built like Popeye. This is a personal preference. Please don't apply it to all women and again, if I have caused offence, I truly apologize. This is just the way I personally feel.
Lindsey, being as tall as you are, you need not make any "justifications" for your height preferences. For women who are very short and yet only want very tall men, it's certainly their preference...but a head scratcher nevertheless.


You seem like a great gal...whatever you want in a man is what you should get .

being 5'10 myself, i know exactly what you mean lindseyk!! there is a great feeling to being able to be wrapped in a guy's arms instead of feeling like you should wrap your arms around him. it also goes back to another posters comments... even though a women's independent, doesn't mean she should always have to be dominate. often times (not always, so don't beat me up) the larger of partners (male or female) naturally becomes dominate. it's nice to be independent but be able to walk into arms big enough to hold you and a chest you can lay your head against (without sitting or bending over halfway)


Exactly!!!! It would be so great to be able to lean my head on a man's chest when we're standing!!! It rarely happens for tall girls and maybe not all of them want that, but I sure do!!


I agree with your other comments as well! Very nicely put!!
Yeah, that would be a bit strange if the woman is taller and I lean my head on her che...wait...


I agree with Tbesq...you seem like nice gal and your preference for taller men (or me) is totally warranted since you are a tall person yourself.

I guess I need to ask the ladies this: Protection from what?


My way of protecting a woman would be to not take her on a date to a place where dangerous people go.My way to protect a woman would be to choose to live in a nice, decent house in a nice, decent neighborhood, but yet, have a good security system on it.


Or does that make me a "nice guy?"
I'd kind of like to know that too...I'm a woman, and don't feel the need to be protected (at least not physically) by a man. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.


But does that make you the dreaded "nice guy'? No...it makes you a pretty damn good catch is what it makes you.

These women that obsess over men's height are also the ones that are like he's tall he won't ever hurt me and since he's just tallllll he must be the greatest thing on earth simply because he's talllll. Um yeah whatever!!!!
