Why do some people call petite girls "fun sized"? And is petite a deal breaker?

Question

Definition of petite: (of a woman) having a small and dainty build. Synonyms include but are not excluded to: dainty, small-boned, little, delicate, and small. 

I always hated being merely 5'2. At 12 years old I didn't mind it but little did I know I would remain the same height at 17 1/2 years old. Recently a few guys refered to me as "fun sized". Why is that? I don't see the fun in being small which equates to being small all over even though I have a shapely figure. I am not wishing to be 6'0 feet or anything, not that its horrible, but I just wished that I was at least 5'4. Because of my height and my small framed size, I get mistaken for a 14 year old unless one were to notice my face and my 32 C cup breasts first. Is being petite a deal breaker?

It's probably just a joke comparing small girls to small candy bars (that are typically called fun sized). But most guys like petite girls, and it's definitely not something you should feel ashamed of. Be proud of who you are, whether your petite, curvy, an amazon, whatever, you're a girl, you're beautiful, and confidence, that's attractive.

Petite can only be a plus for me, but I'm like 5'5.

I assume you ask because you'd like a guy in the 6ft range?

In that case, I guess it's possible it may be a factor. Since most guys I see who are in that height range, are usually with girls my height or 1-3 inches taller.

Lol, it's a reference to "fun size" Halloween candy, which is smaller than the standard size. Totally innocent reference, no weird connotations intended.

Shorter women actually get more messages on online dating than taller women.

Lol I'm 5'10" and my bra size is the same a yours.. I guess that makes me a petite boy then 😂  No but seriously short girls are often seen as cute and many guys prefer that over giraffes like me!

Well I'm guessing people call petite people "fun sized" the same reason why l the meals for kids are called fun sized meals. And no I don't think it would be a deal breaker for most guys and if it was. Screw them.

"fun-sized" people come in small packages, but are concentrated fun !
Also, no it isn't a deal breaker.
Shorter women are easier to "handle", most of people I know, including myself, prefer shorter partners.

Why would it be a deal breaker?  Fun sized means small. And petite people are small I'm 36 and fun sized lol. What Evs:)

Winterfella · Answer

I don't know but it's definitely not fun to be a 5'4 guy, petite girls definitely wouldn't be a deal breaker for me (because I have no choice basically and most girls are taller than me and when I ask them out they complain about my height)

DivaMonae · Answer

The same reason that candy is called that. It's because it's small only a kickass way to say it.

i guess "fun sized", cause you can man-handle them easier xD it´s really rather a turn on in my opinion.

Yeah fun is always a buzz kill. It's such a negative word.

Fun size is awesome, it's in reference to the small candy bars that you would get at Halloween. I love fun size, she's easy to pick up.

Because in sex smaller girls can be tossed around and be held in various positions that bigger girls would have a hard time getting into, thus inducing more fun for the male. Examples of fun sized girls; Piper Perri.
