I know George is joking, but I think he's right on this, and why I think there's a psychological side to that as well.   Taller women tend to be more masculine because testosterone plays a part in this.  From a genetics standpoint, you are more likely to find higher levels HGH in taller people.  During puberty, people with higher level of testosterone grow more and faster.  When it's a guy, it's "yeah, no kidding", but when it's women, it looks awkward.  For that reason, you'll find that women who are taller are generally more likely to be more masculine (hence why a lot of female athletes are lesbians).  It's partly why men may not find taller women attractive, because they're too masculine.  But, on topic, again, I don't think this is a "height" issue.

From a psychological standpoint, I think guys are just conditioned to know that girls are not interested in guys who are shorter than them (or even within 2 inches of them), and hence, men build a profile of their likes that fall within that parameter.

The bolded is a load of cr@p. 

Testosterone driving female height is just not true. Excess testosterone in females will not increase their height, but will wreak havoc on their acne, body hair, menstrual cycles, and mood. They produce so little natural testosterone that an excess will affect these things, NOT their height. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4892290/ - adult height is based on DNA and nutrition during growth cycles.  

Height is also driven by the pituitary gland, NOT sex hormones. You have two parents over 6 feet, the likelihood of their children being tall is higher.

In terms of taller women not being attractive, you realize that VS models have to be AT LEAST 5'8" to be considered right? 

FFS, this post is full of so much actual shite.

I guess it's all people's perspectives. Again, it's not something I have to think about myself so maybe I am off base but I've known plenty of friends who didn't want to be "looking up" at their GF on the dance floor or whatever. Yeah, it always struck me as them being self conscious about being on the shorter side themselves but still a concern for them it seemed. 

Interesting.  It's weird because I've rarely ever talked to a guy who felt that way.

[TheNewGirl 1,638]

So, my husband and I have an 18 inch height difference. 

I am only 5'2", so my dating was mostly guys that were taller than me. That said, I did date one or two that were shorter, maybe 5'5" at the tallest? And there was a difference in their attitudes than the taller guys I dated. There is definitely something about the Short Man Syndrome. 

My husband is 6'8". He's wished to be a couple of inches shorter, and I agree. Dating someone that is taller than 99% of the world population is tough. We always have to make sure that trucks have the extended cab (leg room). We also have to make sure that furniture is comfortable for him, like his feet don't hang off the edge of the bed or the recliner. It doesn't matter that when I sit back on our couch, my feet are like 2 feet off of the floor. Or even sitting at our kitchen table, my toes barely touch the floor. So there are a few things what would be easier if he were a bit shorter. 

Myself, I've always wished I was a little taller, maybe 5'5". 

Our kids are 6'3" (boy) and 6 feet (girl). The boy is 20 and will keep growing a little. Girl might grow a tiny bit more.

At 6'3' I can just barely find cars, trucks, and airplane leg room to accomodate me.  My family members who are any taller find it very difficult.  I am helped a bit by having relatively short legs for my height.  I'm built a bit like a gorilla, all chest and arms. Same for purchasing clothing.  I imagine your husband finds this all a challenge. I also find shoulder width a problem, but I am built wide through the shoulders.  At 6'8" I imagine your husband is too unless he is a bean pole.  Airplane seats are the worst.  I can get my butt in my seat but my shoulders invade the space on each side.  When my wife is next to me no problem since she is petite, but if strangers are there I can't get out of their space no matter how I cross my arms and lean forward.  I am simply not built for coach seating.

 

My wife and I see the world from differnet perspectives, like when she wants to hang pictures and mirrors at eye level.  The first time I did so without her supervision and she came bye to view the results I realized how different. I had to rehang everything to her height.

so basically, your husband picked you because you were short so that he would breed shorter children that dont deal with the problems he had?

First off, I said that testosterone plays a part in growth during PUBERTY, not as an adult.

Secondly, the pituitary gland produces HGH... which increases testosterone.  Right, it has NOTHING to do with sex hormones and I NEVER said it did.  Both men and women have testosterone AND estrogen.  The amounts is based on gender, but yes, it's genetics from the parents.  In the majority of cases where you have two tall parents over 6' tall, where children are of different genders, you'll find that the boys are taller the majority of the time... even though it's extremely rare to see 2 people 6'0 taller married, considering that only 1% of the female population is at 6'0 or taller.  Stats prove this last part... why?  Because the average height of a man is approximately 4 inches taller than a woman.  Gender only plays a role in the fact that the pituitary gland in men generally produces more HGH than women... we know this because... women are on average, about 4" shorter than men.

On top of that, I never said taller women are unattractive.  I said BUILD, meaning body-type.  Yes, models are "AT LEAST 5'8"", but did you ever consider that MEN don't really find models to be all that attractive?  Are there some?  Sure... but you know what, we can name ALL of them.  Why?  Because there aren't many of them.  The fashion/modeling world is a product of women/gay men's taste, not straight men.  Why?  Who's designing the clothes?  Women and gay men.  Who's buying the products?  WOMEN!  Straight men, don't care one bit about the fashion/modeling world.  They're catering to the vanity of women, not men's taste in women.

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,340]

the height difference between a liberal male and their "partner" is about 2 feet.  That's the distance from the floor to the glory hole on the toilet wall where their latest "partner" is sticking out.

@taco breath and @Pimpadeaux can confirm.  They literally live at the truck stop.
