Petite girls ?

Question

i heard that some guys prefer petite girls over taller ones, why is that ? and what is good about a girl being petite ?

Forgetable · Accepted Answer

Hee are my personal reason which I believe some guys relate to as to why they like petite girls too:

They are much smaller than me which gives sort of a boost to my feeling of masculinity.

Being petite is cute, and adorable/cute is very attractive to me, far more so than being "hot".

Danty/petite means I have more opportunities to be a masculine helping hand by carrying out tasks that she wouldn't be able to without my help.

As a petite girl I can carry her more easily which means it can last longer and I won't deny it, being close like that doesn't hurt ^_^

With a petite girl I can feel more protective of her.

Being able to look down at her shimmering eyes just helps give her a more "inoccent" look which is again very attractive to me.

So I'd say probably the two biggest things for most guys that like petite girls is they seem more cute to us, and it allows us to feel more masculine around them, which both of these (at least to me) allow for more things to do with them and add to attractiveness.

Of course that's not to say I wouldn't be against dating a taller woman, or larger boned or even a slightly chunky woman; I'm not THAT shallow, I just prefer petite girls, because I am attracted to petite women.

I hope this answers your question as best I can.

Some guys like petite, some like large breasts, some actually like smaller breast, some like them tall, all kinds of shapes for everyone, just as gills like tall lean men. But there is room for bigger people too.

As a general rule, men tend to like women smaller than themselves, women tend to like men larger then themselves. Both favor lean bodies. All of the these rules can be broken at anytime or any given moment, even for those go had generally liked the opposite body shapes.

I know of a happily married couple, he's 5'2", she is 5'11. Go figure.

i am just using what my guy friend said to answer this. my guy friend used to be 4 inches shorter then me (we have been friends forever) then he finally grew. I am also petite. I am 4'11" and less then 90 pounds. now he is 6'1" . we are now boyfriend and girlfriend. he told me, that the reason why he didn't ask me out before was because he was shorter then me until 9th grade and he felt he wasn't as masculine around me because he couldn't pick me up. now he can easily, so he feels better about himself. hope that helps.

Well, I am petite. I certainly don't have any problems with my height whatsoever and haven't found it to be a problem with short or tall men I've dated. The best answer to your question is that everyone has preferences, men and women. If some guys prefer petite girls, that's just their personal taste. Some prefer taller women too. Basing your decisions on dating someone on height sounds too shallow for me though, and I've never taken height into consideration when choosing a potential date.

I'm only 5' 4" so I guess that counts as petite? Firstly I can say it's not always true, but guys have told me that it's kinda cute and I guess makes them feel more manly for being bigger. I can kinda relate - I like tall guys because it makes me feel smaller by comparison, and for some reason I just like being small. I don't know, but in the end it's always down to personal preference.

Makes us feel manlier for a better way of describing it. We feel like we can protect her in a much better fashion.

Plus they tend to be more feminine. Nice hourglass figures, or at least a skinny waist. Sweet girly voices. Dress nicely.

All generalisations of course, but they exist for a reason.

For short term encounters I prefer tall girls with more masculine features/characteristics. For long term I like petite feminine girls.

ArtistBboy · Answer

Petite girls are considered "cute". A girl that is petite is considered "Fun-Sized" which is a good thing.

Personally I like girls that are petite and girls that are tall - it depends more on my attraction for them, and their personality. I would go on a date with either of them - but the long term relationship would be with a girl that I am happy with.

Many guys, myself included, like feeling like they can "protect" a girl.  The protection instinct makes us feel more masculine and more secure in a relationship.  When a girl is shorter than us, we're attracted because it triggers that feeling that we can offer her protection and security.

popayesailor · Answer

It's all about ratio.  Shorter girls have less distance between their hips and chest, which means if you look at a tall girl and a short girl with the same measurements, the short girls curves will be sharper and more visually dramatic, which makes her more attractive.

For me it first happened in high school. A very petite classmate really wanted me (I was already 6'2" and still growing). It was the firs time in my life I felt desirable. Most women are smaller than me so its hard for me to really define it. Petite women are not fragile and have proven to me that they are a match for me so I'm perfectly happy. I've mastered the skill of matching her pace as she walks without effort.

On a tangent, women in my experience like being picked up off their feet more as they increase in height. Petite women like it less, unless they like you and have given permission.

Standingpretty · Answer

It's a matter of what's masculine and feminine, guys want to feel masculine so they chose whatever they feel is "feminine" in a feel. But that's not nessacerly true, for everybody type there is a man who loves and preferes it, so there are guys who into everything.

Well I speak for myself. My two step sisters tortured me through 8-12 and they were both taller. So I sort of link all other girls the same. Plus when I was 10 I was pretty much forced to have sex with one of their friends who was taller then me and I did not enjoy it... So I'm sort of terrified of taller women.

I like being able to sit her on my lap, pick her up easily, I like holding her small hand in mine, and of course sex is a lot easier and...boistrous?

BloodMerchant · Answer

Because every guy has their own preferences. I prefer cute girls over hot ones.  On the other hand, I do feel intimidated by girls that are taller than me or girls that are more 'hot' as opposed to 'cute'.

WeaponZero · Answer

A lot of men feel some sort of need to have to protect their girl.  A larger/taller girl however seems like she doesn't need protection, which can put guys like that off.  Me personally I'm not like that so I don't care.

fedorfan100 · Answer

personally I want a girl that is just slightly shorter then me, I'm 5'8 so like 5'6 would be ideal to me but not taller then me, it wouldn't feel right you no

ihatecopcars · Answer

I like them all, we usually like smaller girls the same reason most girls think small dogs are cute. We like to be able to easily pick our lady up and feel strong around her. If they are small, then it makes that all easier.

emzy-89 · Answer

it's an instict that all males have to protect what's theirs. if  guy is with a girl who is smaller than him this satisfies them in that they feel more masculine and able to protect the girl.

I am a petite girl 5'3 about 110-115  and I seem to attract the taller guys/bigger guys for some reason.

Kattrain · Answer

I'm not petite (5'7 :D) and I can really understand why guys prefer petite girls since almost all girls want a guy taller then them.

Bburg36 · Answer

I'm very petite, I am only 4'9. I have a decent rack, my a** does exist too. I've noticed a lot of taller and more musculeant guys tend to try and 'pick me up' opposed to your regular guy.
