Have you noticed that men are usually taller than women?

[Anonymous]

Is it just me? Maybe it is. I notice that on AVERAGE, men are taller than women. I see many many more men that are 6'0 or taller than women. I also notice I see many many more women under 5'5 than men under 5'5, and so on. Why is this? Do you think this is true?

Yes, I've noticed that men are usually taller than women

No, men, and women are just as tall as each other on average.

No, women are usually taller than men.

[BambooforPanda]

LoL I don't know if you're serious, but I like this question atm since I have very recently had several lengthy aguments about men liking skinny women where they directly compared it to women liking taller men.

Like come the fuck on lol. Men are usually tall. Women are not usually skinny.

[Asker]

Actually, men have a higher body fat percentage than men.

[BambooforPanda]

Lmfao what asker? I don't think you said what you meant to say there.

@Josht11 I am just going to assume that based on your gross overgeneralization that it isn't worth seriously debating the subject with you.

[Asker]

I mean men have a higher body fat percentage than men.

[BambooforPanda]

@Josht11

Generalization: a general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases.
Overgeneraliation: to generalize beyond appropriate or justified limits.

en.wikipedia.org/.../Human_height Men are typically a good 4 inches taller than women, which means they are taller than average height. So, men are usually tall.

Try again though.

[BambooforPanda]

And yes, some men are larger than other men, what are you driving at here?

[BambooforPanda]

@Josht11 Correct 5'10" is average. When I said "women like taller men" I meant men who were taller than themselves, not men who were taller than other men. I find that women desire a man who has a 4" or 5" height difference from her not that she consistenly prefers a taller man to another man. Johnny Depp is 5'8", George Clooney is 5'9", Vin Diesel is 5'10", Hugh Jackman is 6'1", and David Beckham, the sexiest man alive for 2016, is 6'0". These are all pretty close to average height considering 2/3 of men are between 5'7" and 6'0". It's not comparable to mens preference for skinny women, because as I started, women are not usually skinny, but men are usually tall.

[Josht11]

Yes but it's a woman's choice to be a pig I'm only 5'4 I eat healthily and go to the gym but I didn't choose my height because it's definitely not an attractive quality.

[BambooforPanda]

@Josht11 You can't assume all fat (especially what is considered fat) women are pigs because it just isn't true. In general it's very natural for womens bodies to "have curves" because we bear children and the body fat is an important evolutionary development to ensure new fetuses get essential nutrients for growth. Basically, a womans body will try to have fat no matter what you feed it, no matter how you exercise it. A woman who exercises and eats well is generally considered chubby or fat.

Men don't like skinny women because its normal or healthy, they like it because that's what they're trained to be interested in.

As far as variance goes, some men will have a real preference for thin women, and some women will also have a preference for short guys.

[Goldie757]

@asker In comparison to men, women naturally are prone to carrying more fat. As I am sure many people have discovered on their own everyone is different. There are women on this planet who are blessed with a naturally leaner body than other women. And there are other women on this planet who work very diligently at maintaining a leaner physique.

So, why are women so fortunate to have bodies that naturally store fat more readily than a man's body? The simple truth of the matter is reproductive purposes. Our bodies store fat more readily because it is constantly preparing itself to nourish a pregnancy.

Please keep in mind all healthy people have fat reserves. This is normal. Our bodies need these fat reserves as energy sources and insulation as well as to cushion our internal organs. At no time should an individual attempt to rid their body completely of fat. This could result in very serious disorders.

[Victorianne]

I am only 5'1 , so yeah i have noticed that too , coz usually i have to look up to most men lol

[Victorianne]

Thanks for the MHO 👍

[Anonymous]

Um this is true pretty much everywhere... Like literally any medical paper on height will report that on average men are taller. Like the average women is 5'5" and the average man is 5'10".

[Asker]

I've noticed it myself.

[BeerFarts]

Gosh, really? No, I never knew that! I always thought that women were taller and more muscular than men 😳

[Asker]

Women do tend to have more muscle mass than men.

NO SHIT

[Asker]

I thought I had just noticed this.

[chintita]

nope, sorry it's common knowledge and extremely obvious.

[ConsultantIsBack]

I noticed the other day the sky is blue, grass is green, Donald trump is orange. Mind blown!

[RJGraveyTrain]

LOL!

[ConsultantIsBack]

@RJGraveyTrain you've made this observation as well?

[RJGraveyTrain]

As a 5'2" female I just assumed I live in a land of giants and I am a lowly dwarf.

[ConsultantIsBack]

@RJGraveyTrain aww 5'2" soooo cute lmao jk

[RJGraveyTrain]

Lmao I'm a pint sized powerhouse FEAR ME!!!

[Asker]

I thought it was just something I was noticing.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Lmao ya man

[9mfeo]

Yes, men are taller than women in average. I have also seen more women under 5'5" than I have men of the same height, but I haven't seen all that many women of that height in my generation. Everyone is getting taller on average.

[Asker]

But why is this?

[9mfeo]

Fucked if I know. Hormones?

[Asker]

Maybe. I also notice girls are becoming dis proportionally pear shaped. I see so many girls with a small tummy, and massive lower body. It looks weird.

[9mfeo]

So are men, thanks to high fructose corn syrup.

[Asker]

I never see pear shaped men.

[9mfeo]

Clearly you have blinders on. Which should be immediately obvious, as it has taken you this long to notice women are generally shorter than men.

[Asker]

Men are more likely to be apple shaped. Bigger on top, and small on bottom.

[9mfeo]

That's called "triangular". Apple shaped is when you're round all over.

slism.com/.../...its-that-dictate-your-diet-01.jpg

[Asker]

No, Apple shape means bigger on top than bottom. This is also known as Trinagular.

[FakeName123]

Yes, I have noticed it... by the age of like 6 years old.

[Goldie757]

Is this question serious?

[Asker]

Yeah... why wouldn't it be?

[Anonymous]

Man, are you SURE your sample size is big enough? I've found the exact opposite to be the case. I think this might require more serious research if you want anyone to take you seriously.

[aliceinwonderland69]

I guess it's due to natural selection. Women pick men that are bigger than them and can protect them.

[nalaa]

Ya, did they not explain that to you in elementary school? Because that's where I learned it

[nalaa]

to clear some things up men also have wider shoulders, more muscle mass, less bodyfat and more body hair.

[ShaeNielson]

Well no shit Sherlock, I seriously hope this is not for real..

[Asker]

I thought it was just something I was noticing.

[ShaeNielson]

That's like the most basic of the basic biological facts... Did you also just notice that more women than men tend to give birth?

[Asker]

Well anyone with a brain knows that women are the ones who give birth.

[ShaeNielson]

Yea.. How is life with an IQ below 50?

[Anonymous]

well, men are biologically supposed to be taller but ofcourse genetics and environment play a part. This should be common knowledge.

[takumii]

People older than 3 have voted A
People who were in mood for trolling voted C

That one hardcore feminist that voted B...

[Melcart23]

Whew, thank god you said something man, I don't think we would've ever noticed that

[ElissaDido]

No women are usually much taller than men

[Asker]

I haven't noticed this.

[Josht11]

You fuckin troll, you.

[Asker]

I'm not a troll. What made you think I was a troll?

[CHARismatic110]

I'm sure everyone has.

[Iron_Man]

[ihatethiswebsite]
