Is height correlated to size feteshes

[maladaptivetiny]

@TakoAlice8 I am on the taller average side of the height slide (5’7”/170cm) for a woman in Sweden, and while I have had insecurities regarding my height, I fail to see it fully correlated to my fetish… I guess at times my wish to be shorter could be connected to how I’d like to feel a little bit more tiny and less ”clumsy” in some situations, but otherwise I guess I am quite content just existing as I am and then using my fantasies to really go wild with size differences

I myself have also never noticed my fetish to in any way ”interfere” with my preferences for a partner, sure I imagine a hell of a tall guy to swoop me off my feet (with just a hand of his ) but in real life I’ve been in love with, and admired guys shorter than me, taller than me, and men as tall as me.

But I know many have discussed this phenomenon of wanting to be their own opposite in height on tumblr, especially regarding needing comfort and safety, or out of a need of feeling wanted and needed. Some have called it height dysphoria over there. So I believe there definitely are people whose desires are driven by wishes to be vastly different from how they are in the real world.

@maladaptivetiny @Jitensha herself has spoken at length about her own size dysphoria.

[maladaptivetiny]

@Olo Oh! I’m glad you mentioned that, I didn’t know that she had (I saw her mentioned up above but I did not know it was related to size dysphoria). I’ll have to read what she has written about it. Thanks!

@maladaptivetiny She’s talked about it on Tumblr and on Twitter, but neither platform is good for archiving that sort of thing.

So, I’m 5’9" (175 cm), which is average for an American male, above average globally, perhaps a bit below average locally (Pacific NW). None of the women in my life have been unusually short or tall. Regular readers will remember that for most of my size fetish “career” I’ve thought of myself as primarily a Shrunken Man, and I admit that women six-feet-tall and taller intrigue me, but never to the degree that it might alter my romantic ambitions. Similarly, atypically short women are fun to think about, but it’s not a primary draw.

A reason why I felt ashamed of my fetish is I feel that lots of people think that many girls only date tall guys and are judgmental towards guys height. I don’t care if a guy is shorter than me when it comes to dating. But this made me feel ashamed of my fetish because I feel if people found out, they would think I am taking the phrase, “I only date six feet tall guys.” to a whole other level.

As a guy who has repressed his M/f desires for similar reasons, I am quite sympathetic. M/f fans, female and male, can get a lot of shit for expressing their preferences. And heaven help you if you’re a shrunken woman who likes thinking about a giant man who eats you or crushes you or pisses on you. Jit and Seru created this as a safe space for these desires.

Your mind is an immense place, full of wonderful and terrible ideas, but you are more than any or all of your fantasies. Everyone has the right to fantasize about themselves at the size they prefer experiencing the situations they desire. If you’re at one end of the height spectrum and you want to switch, go for it! If you like your height relative to others and you want to be even more so, have at it! Go play!

How tall are you in real life, Alice?

@TakoAlice8 I’m 5’6" and I’m fascinated by extreme size differences, such as a giant being able to hold an entire building in his hands, so my fetish is pretty much based in fantasy. My partner is taller than me but I just wish that he was a lot larger. As in, a few hundred feet…

@TakoAlice8 Such an interesting thing to think about. I’m 5’2" so I’m ready pretty small irl - I don’t particularly want to actually be shorter, so the fantasy of being super tiny is very much just a fantasy for me. My husband meanwhile is 6’2", on the tall side. I do really love the height difference, I’ll admit. And although he doesn’t quite have the SW kink himself, he enjoys how much shorter I am too and is super supportive about my own kink, he finds it cute and fun.

But I have absolutely felt insecure before about our height difference. I suppose I do generally like tall guys because I like feeling small, but it’s never been a prerequisite for dating. The other men I’d been interested in previously were either average height or shorter. And yet I still ended up with a tall dude. We did the online dating thing and got to know each other really well before I met him in person, so I had no idea he was so tall when I was already very interested. But I still feel uncomfortable about accidentally fitting into the stereotype you were mentioning.

I’ve actually told a couple of friends about my interests, and I usually feel compelled at some to say something like “I promise I didn’t just fall for my husband because he’s tall!!” Even though when I say that, the thought never seems to have crossed their mind and no one’s ever gotten judgy… Maybe sometimes we really just overthink things. But you are definitely not alone!

As someone who is around 5’8” I was always considered the tall one out of my friends. I was in the 4th grade when someone first asked me what the weather was like up here
I’ve gotten more comfortable and confident with my height now that I’m older but I think I’ll always be a little envious of petite women. They’re just so cute and in my opinion give off a more delicate and feminine vibe vs my tall, dominating one.
I also have somewhat of a deep voice so that definitely doesn’t help
However I’m not really sure if my height has contributed to my macro fetish. It’s possible but I’ve wanted to be tiny from a very young age so it’s hard to tell.
I just want to look up at things, all kinds of things! I’d love to see the world from even a slightly shorter perspective

I was always a taller kid and even in elementary school I liked to princess carry girls around in my arms at recess because it made me feel strangely powerful. I’m 6’2" and i do have a preference for shorter girls in general but since the actual size of women I like is you know, one foot tall, it’s not that big of a deal. As a fat guy I have also definitely found a correlation between girls who are into giants and girls who are feeders/female fat admirers/chubby chasers who like to feel tiny IRL next to a man.

Travel can add different perspectives. If you want to feel short, visit the Netherlands, the country with the world’s tallest average height. If you want to feel tall, visit Indonesia or Peru.

I often wonder how @Jitensha is doing in Japan, which is shorter than average.

[littlest-lily]

@Olo That’s a good point. It’s funny though, from my time in Japan I still felt like everyone was tall, even though I’m sure that on average they weren’t taller by as much… it can be kinda hard to tell from down here lol. I guess when you’re above or below a certain height you get a little stuck on that side

@littlest-lily I visited Hungary once with a couple of other Americans (both taller than me). Hungarians are shorter than average, but where we really stood out was in our weight. One of our hosts gave us a ride in their car, and I was afraid it was going to bottom out.

[TakoAlice8]

@Olo I am 5’4” which is considered average height in the U.S.

It doesn’t seem too have any correlation to my fetish, I just found I really like feeling small.

Though I was tall when I was a child, I think that may be correlated to my liking of being tiny.

@littlest-lily You are very lucky to have a husband with an SW kink, how did you know your partner had an SW kink
