www.Tall.com. They’ve been around for quite some time and have a large, multi-gender, international membership.

Here’s their intro:

“Tall Club International™ traces its beginnings to 1938 and the inspiration of a very tall young woman who got a little tired of being teased about the short men she was coloring for Walt Disney Studios at the time. The young woman was Kae Sumner Einfeldt, and the movie was Disney’s original “Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.” Now, decades later, thousands of tall people have Kae to thank for a lifetime of fun and meaningful relationships which they have shared with their extended family of tall friends from all around the world.”

“In addition to regular events such as house parties, hikes, biking, dancing, bowling, dine outs, and more, members of Tall Clubs International Tall Clubs look forward to the annual TCI Convention held in different interesting places each year. It is usually near the first week in July, and is always guaranteed to be round-the-clock fun for everyone. ”

“A lot of socializing takes place online these days, but once you join the Tall Clubs International family, you’ll see what we mean when we say there is no substitute for the experience of being surrounded by lots of other “vertically gifted” people in real life! It’s a world where dancing cheek-to-cheek finally becomes a reality! ”

I can’t tell what this is because my shitty internet won’t open the site.

My advice is—unless of course you are into it—to be wary of any tall girl associations using the term “Amazon”. Quite frequently these are Femdom situations featuring highly paid dominitrices.

It is a clothier for tall women similar to a Big & Tall men’s store.

I think that is a poor way to find women.

It’s as reprehensible as saying “I only want women if they have big boobs” or “I only want women who have red hair”. Basically you are reducing the woman’s identity to a physical attribute. A woman is much more than her height.

Besides, when you’re lying down on a bed, you’re the same height.

@elbanditoroso Maybe he just likes ‘em tall. How much control do we have over our preferences of the opposite sex? I think you are being extremely disingenuous.

Open a women’s BIG AND TALL store.

Germany and Scandinavia, and some parts of Africa, or anywhere except the few places with height restrictions, as they get around.

Are Dominas not usually tall?

Outside. They are outside.

Everywhere. They should not be hard to spot; they stand head and shoulders above the rest of the field of other prospective Mrs. @RedDeerGuy1‘s .

@Espiritus_Corvus – what an interesting answer from you, and even more interesting is the five people who gave you great answer points.

For decades – maybe as far back as the 60s and the days of Gloria Steinem and the advent of the feminist movement, there have been changes in society to separate the value/worth/attractiveness of women from their physical attributes. The idea, back then, was that a woman was much more than long legs, blue eyes, or blond hair. She should be seen as the whole picture: her brains, her personality, and also (and to a lesser degree) her physical attributes.

Your disdain for my answer seems to dismiss the “look at the whole woman” outlook from the last 40 years, and appears to support the ‘physical attributes are primary’ outlook left over from the 1950s.

That’s disturbing, but given American society, not unexpected.

There’s nothing wrong with recognizing that you’re attracted to certain traits. If you’re looking at the whole world, and narrowing down where to start your search, attraction is as good a place as any to start.

If he were outside his home, at a bar or something, and there were three women, should he stand there all day trying to decide who to talk to, or would it be reasonable to approach the one he found most attractive?

Join a co-ed recreational baseball, volleyball or basketball team. The women on those teams skew tall.

The local beach volleyball women in particular seem startlingly tall to me <as I walk under their armpits>

Where can I meet tall women in real life? You will have to leave your apartment and go socialize. You can meet tall women (and less tall women, too) by doing things like joining an interest group through meetup.com, or the Sierra Club, or doing volunteer work.

You can meet tall women, smart women, short women, interesting guys, younger people, older people, all kinds of people, by making an effort to meet people. And that means you have to socialize and be interested in them.

Most of the women in my life are above average height. They aren’t hard to find, I assure you.

There is certainly more to a woman than her physical attributes, however the starting point for any potentially amorous relationship is physical attraction. Not even Gloria Steinem would deny this. And as far as that goes we all have our preferences. We’re attracted to what we’re attracted to, for whatever reasons, and we’re not what we’re not. Take three woman, all intelligent, educated, independent motivated people, but each with differing physical attributes. You can approach one, but only one, to engage with. Which one do you pick, and why? I know my answer*.

@Darth_Algar You can actually ask Gloria that question personally. She has an active account on Quora. You can PM her. But I agree, she probably would agree.

As with any trait you just have to get out there and mingle. The more you mingle the more your chances go up that you meet a tall woman. By the way, what do you consider tall? The North American average is 5’5” for a woman.

Reminds me of when I was looking for someone with dark hair…and ended up marrying a blond.

tranquilsea's avatar

Your problem really is going to be that women who are over 6 feet are statistically scarce. And maybe the ones who are over 6 feet won’t want to date you (I mean that in the gentlest way possible). That’s why you should try to lower your standard a bit and branch out.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@tranquilsea Maybe for the best. I wouldn’t fit on a queen sized bed with a tall woman.

tranquilsea's avatar

Also, how tall are you? That often matters to women.

tranquilsea's avatar

Well I go back to my original answer. You can have a List of Qualities and Attributes but you need to be very careful about what you put on that list as it may exclude you from many satisfying relationships.
