So, you’ve set your sights on dating a tall woman, huh? Great choice! But before you approach, let’s clear up a common misconception: tall women aren’t only into taller guys. In fact, many tall women are quite fond of shorter men—they even call them “short kings”! I even made a YouTube video on tall girls dating shorter partners. So, if you’re ready to crack the code on how to win over a tall girl, keep reading.

1. Self-Esteem and Confidence—It's Non-Negotiable

Want to date a tall woman? Confidence and self-esteem are your best friends. These two qualities make you attractive to anyone, but they’re especially important when you’re going after someone who’s already got a noticeable physical presence.

Self-esteem is about valuing yourself and respecting who you are. Respect yourself, and others (yes, including tall women) will respect you too. Confidence, on the other hand, is all about belief in your abilities. You can’t walk up to a tall woman like you’ve already lost. Tall women love a guy who knows his worth.

Pro tip: Own your space! Whether you’re 5'6" or 6'2", confidence radiates when you’re comfortable in your own skin.

2. Don’t Mention the Height—Like, Ever

I know what you’re thinking: “But she’s so tall!” Yes, she is. And you’re not the first person to notice. Seriously, don’t make height your go-to conversation starter. She’s probably been hearing comments like “Wow, you’re tall!” or “How’s the weather up there?” since she was in middle school. You want to stand out, right?

Instead, get creative with your conversation starters. At the grocery store, ask her about something in her cart. At a party, ask how she knows the host. In the gym, compliment her workout routine—there are countless ways to strike up a conversation without mentioning her height.

Pro tip: Make your first conversation about anything other than height. Trust me, that’s how you’ll be memorable for the right reasons.

3. For the Love of All That’s Holy—Don’t Ask If She Plays Basketball or Volleyball

This one’s a classic blunder. Yes, she’s tall, but that doesn’t automatically make her a volleyball or basketball player. Not all tall people are athletes, and assuming she’s into sports just because of her height can come across as lazy or even judgmental.

If she does play sports, let it come up naturally in the conversation. Your job is to focus on her as a person, not her height-related activities.

Pro tip: Ditch the clichés. Asking about her favorite hobby, book, or movie is much more interesting than assuming she’s a pro athlete.

4. Appreciate Her Other Qualities (Seriously, There Are Plenty)

If you get to the point where you want to compliment her, don’t make it about her height. She’s been hearing that her whole life, and while you may think it’s a great feature, it’s likely a sore spot for her. Instead, focus on what makes her unique beyond her height.

Notice her sense of style? Compliment that. Did you spot some healthy groceries in her cart? Mention it. She has plenty of qualities to admire besides her height, and pointing those out will show her you see her as more than just “the tall girl.”

Pro tip: Treat her like you would any other woman—focus on the person, not the height. She’ll appreciate the fresh approach.

5. Be Genuine—It’s Your Best Shot

Let’s be real—nobody likes a fake, and that goes double for tall women. If you’re going to approach her, be yourself. Drop the act and don’t try to be someone you’re not. Women are incredibly good at picking up on inauthentic behavior, and tall women are no exception.
When you approach her, be authentic. If you click, great! If not, don’t sweat it—not every pair is a match. But trust me, being genuine is the only way you’ve got a real shot at building something meaningful.

Pro tip: Authenticity is magnetic. Just be yourself—if it’s meant to be, it will be, and if not, at least you were true to who you are.

At the end of the day, tall women are just like everyone else—they want to connect with someone who’s confident, genuine, and appreciates them for more than just their height. By following these tips, you’ll not only stand out but also have a real shot at building a meaningful connection. So, go out there, be yourself, and make your move—with confidence!
