Or just don't reach for the neck when you're that much shorter.

I don't think you understand. The height difference is desirable.

Source: I'm 5'11" and want someone to make me feel small.

I never understood this about women. I'm 5'11, and I've had women say I'm too short for them. Meanwhile they're 5'3, and I'm like "Well your height doesn't matter to me either way."

Dated a woman 4'7, dated another woman 6'8. Can't ever remember a time where someones size mattered for any reason. But most women seemingly don't want to date guys under 6'4.

Imagine if guys did that. Just saying to a woman "Sorry, I only date DD cups." He'd get slapped!

I think at least part of it is wanting a partner that makes them feel safe and secure, and perceiving height as an indicator of such. Tbh, however, if I liked you and you had an 8" difference on me then I'd probably be really happy (that'd put you at 6'7" tho).

That said, if they care about your height enough that they don't want to date you, then I'd tell you the same thing I'd tell a girl who's being shamed for not having DD cups: they're hardcore objectifying you and you shouldn't waste your time on them; you deserve better.
