Lack of self esteem in women linked to "needing" taller/bigger men

I read this the other day that women who lack self esteem and confidence and more likely to date only taller or more buff men. Why? Well it continued to read that women who feel fat enjoy being with someone who makes them feel small, women who feel their aren't as worthy feel more worth in the arms of a bigger/taller man. Anyone ever hear something like this?

I read something a long the lines of it being more about security vs a self esteem issue but both seem logical.

This sounds like another excuse to be shallow. I know I know, we all have things we like and what we don't like but women will say anything to have people pitty them. NOO! NOT ALL WOMEN!, just a huge % of them.

Same here. The security thing though I think kinda goes hand in hand with the self esteem thing. Liek when you really think about it.

Some women... Well, most women have self esteem issures about their body. Thank the media and photoshop for that one. Nothing makes me more sick than to see plastic looking women all over the place. Anyways, I can see this being a reason but again, you can't assume you wouldn't feel just as good with a shorter man.

Sadly, some women think of men like a house. They take dating on like they are shopping for house or something.

Women are in a contant competition with each other. I think that is why some wont date short men.

You know they joke about us being in competitions and how immature we men are but when you think about it, women are truly worse.

I am not going to diss women completely but they need to stop acting like we are the ones with commitment issues and being shallow when they are just as bad, if not worse.

I have to say that I agree. I am a woman and I think and feel like woman are more competative and prone to childish jealousy than men.
