Because it's feminine to be short, while it's masculine to be tall. Obviously as simple as that. Petite women are seen as most feminine - at least up to the 80's...
But... we've somewhat redefined the femininity thing and models are considered the most feminine now - which is tall and skinny.
The equivalent of a short guy is a fat girl - everyone knows this.
I don't think either of them are gross. It's just genetics, and it's not really a disadvantage in modern society in terms of survival. Women like tall and strong men because they want to feel protected, men like petite girls because they like to feel superior. This obviously doesn't apply to everyone, it's just what I see as a general trend.
Women on average are shorter, so if a girl is 5'4", her guy equivalent would be 5'9". And while 5'4" is average for females, many treat them as "shorties". So now it depends what you consider short and if you take into account sexual dimorphism.
Because men are thirsty and don't give a shit about female height while women very much care about men's height.
Attractiveness is based on what each gender desires
For women:
1. Face
2. Height
3. Social Status
4. Money
Are what women consider attractive. For men height is not considered as part of the list so they don't care about it.
Historically strength came down to our size. Nowadays that doesn't matter but those ideas still exist.
Keep in mind that preferences usually aren't rules either.

Shorter women and taller men are usually perceived as the ideal traits for height. Though, I think tall and short men can be attractive. It just depends on your face and personality. I think Cillian Murphy is the most handsome actor and is only 2 inches taller than me. However, Adam Driver is like 6'4" and is also very attractive, a close second to Cillian. It's about how you carry yourself. Then, for women, you see Emily Browning and Lady Gaga, who are gorgeous and 5'1". Also, Elle Fanning and Kiera Knightly, who are 5′ 9" and 5′ 7", are beautiful. Overall, if you are attractive and have a good personality, no sensible woman or man should see a short man as gross. Just a little bit off-topic, lmao.
itz cos its more attractive if a man is tall because it makes them more manly ( because a man's gender role is to tall and like more confident) and its more attractive if a girl is short because it makes them more feminem.( a woman gender role is to be sumbmissive and if you're short you more likely to be submissive because against a tall person it'll be harder to defend yourself). (sorry my explantion is quite rushed, cba to expalin it better)
If guys with facial hair are hot, why aren't girls with facial hair hot? When will you people get it, men and women have never been, are not and will never be the same.
because men have to stand tall and defend the girls, and girls are supposed to be the submissive ones and that's pretty hard if your girl is 50 cm's taller than you.
It isn't just short people who give birth to short people. Tall people can have kids who are short too. My dad is over 6 feet. I'm only 5'4.
1. Short men aren't gross
2. Because people still see us as feminine. while tall is seen as masculine.
3. Tall girls are sometimes described as intimidating, but tall men are not seen that way.
4. don't take your anger out on us lol
Because they compensate by giving good bjs and having boobs. You jelly.
lmao no one ever said short guys are gross, girls tend to like tall guys it is a preference not a personal matter and guys tend to like short girls also a preference not a personal matter
Short girls are beautiful. Manlets are gross.
Because sexual dimorphism. In humans, the male is meant to be larger than the female. In some other species, it's the other way around.
Because male instincts tell them that short girls are easier to "protect" and provide for, thus it will be easier to reassure one's own masculinity. Thus short girls get chosen over tall girls due to them being less intimidating.
Manlets are gross! Absolutely disgusting! Short women are beautiful, elegant and awesome! A man must be tall - 5ft10 minimum. Being short is a death sentence for men. For women height is completely irrelevant. It's a wonderful world...
"Why are muscular women considered gross but muscular men considered attractive?"
i dont know lol but short girls don't really care about men's height
I'm tall and I don't see why short men are whining. Girls think that they're cute.
…because short men aren't gross? And I'm 6'2", so I'm not saying that because I'm short.
Gross is kinda heavy. Unattractive for some girls maybe. But not gross.
because short girl = feminine. Do you even biology?
Manlets are gross - short women are hot!
Neither of them are gross really.
