Trending & News Why are short men considered gross, ugly, while short girls are considered cute, adorable? The main reason while we still have short men on Earth are short girls who give birth to short men.

- 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.3|13|1Is this still revelant?I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying that you're equating things most people don't see the same.
- 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.1|00|0Is this still revelant?

A 5'4 guu would be way shorter than most women and short than every man, it won't bother you they he is shorter han your female friends
- 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.0|00|0Is this still revelant?
My only guess is that guys like feeling big, manly. If they stand near a shorter girl, they will look bigger than standing near an average or tall girl.

Anonymous+1 yBecause 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.1|43|1Is this still revelant?- 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.0|00|0Is this still revelant?

1014- 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.8|01|1
There are actually unfortunate girls who do have facial hair. And also the height thing is pure bullshit, height depends on the food a child eats mostly and the lifestyle of the child in general. Genetics have almost nothing to do with it

Bullshit. My grandmother is 155cm tall, my grandfather is 160cm tall and my father (their son) is 190cm tall. Just because he was eating right as a kid. And I know a billion other examples
@TheInvisibleMan height is 80% predictable through genes, and breaking it into simple Mendel's (I'm not sure if I spelled his name right, but you get it) experiments, tall is a recessive gene while short is a dominant one...
No, their family members were also short.
@BiscuitesSwag I don't give a fuck about statistics, or any of that bullshit, I know many examples that lrove such stuff wrong. Just because scientists say something, doesn't mean its always true, there is a lot of bullshit in scienceHeight potential is 100% genetic. Eating healthily as a child allows a child to reach their maximum height potential, malnutrition can stunt growth which stops that, that is the ONLY way in which food affects height. Sorry, but you really haven't put much thought into this considering the majority of kids in the western world don't suffer from malnutrition, eat similar diets, yet vary greatly when it comes to height.
@Kkaos For the hundredth time - BULLSHIT. You can't convince me into something I know is not true because I know lots and lots of people where that wasn't the case. Fuck your research, and fuck your science. You can't prove something, when there is lots and lots of evidence to deny it
@Kkaos Im not trolling, I just have too much evidence for some assholes over the internet to convince me with their bullshit story
Yep, cool. Keep doing you, I'm sure everyone admires and respects you, you're that type of guy, a really good listener.
@Kkaos I just dont listen to things that are obvious bullshit. I can tell you the sky is red as much as I want, but you saw the sky a billion times and you know its blue. And there is nothing I could say to convince you otherwise. Same here. Also your only argument was "research says". Fuck that, nowadays any asshole can do a "research". People also used to think the Earth was flat
If you want to be ignorant and just call "BULLSHIT" on anything that conflicts with what you already believe, you'll never learn anything. But that's fine, I guess the concept of learning new things is completely over your head anyway. All the best man.
@Kkaos its not just belief, its belief supported by hard evidence. while yours is belief supported by nothing. or supported by what you read on the internet. great. if its on the internet, it must be true.
- 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 lol1|24|2- Show All Show Less
Haha just for that comment, I'm going to find a short man and have some short babies
- 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.0|12|2
Nah it doesn't. For one you say a short girl is easier to protect and provide but last i check a short girl will experience the same dangers in the world as a tall girl. Her being shorter does not make her "easier" to protect in fact it does the opposite as more people will feel they can take advantage of her.
- Show All Show Less
My point was that guys feel more manly if they can protect a girl. A shorter girl comes off as in need of more protection.
- 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)0|12|1
- 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.0|00|0
- 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.0|00|0
- because short girl = feminine. Do you even biology?2|11|1
oh my... just google what's attractive in girls and what's in men and do further research if u're interested in knowing reasons.
