It seems like the modeling industry and the media portrays the "tall and thin" body to be the standard of beauty. But, do most guys in the real world find this hot?
Most guys like to be the big spoon, so tall can sometimes prevent them from being that. Definitely we stare at tall girls in awe but not everyone would date a taller girl because guys like to be 'the big one', so at max they would date a girl the same height as them. I'm about 5'10 and I still swoon over tall girls all the time but I wouldn't really prefer to date them. It's not a fair and nice reason (being shorter) but it eats at me.

Why does the modeling industry portray tall as being beautiful when most guys prefer shorter?
I believe that the modelling industry appeals more towards women. You can always hear how guys don't want to date those anorexic women. Plus most industries set really high standards that can't be achieved, and that's the trend.
Not really. I think it's pretty obvious that guys prefer short girls. It's only a fashion injustry thing, basically because they're meant to be walking coathangers -- as opposed to be attractive to men, being attractive to men is not the goal of the fashion industry.
With women pretty much majority all want taller. With men most want smaller than themselves but lots seem to not care about height any where near as much, there is plenty of guys who like tall women.
It's like dick size thing. Guys are obsessed with it more than girls. Girls are obsessed with victoria secret models and Runway models way more than guys are.
Notice how pornstars, girls who look the way the industry knows guys fantasize about are usually average height to slightly short girls who are curvaceous essentially the opposite of what fashion models look like.
She’s attractive, but it would make no difference if she were several inches shorter, plus she’s wearing heels so you can’t really gauge her true height.
Tall can be sexy, but not the model look. They are usually way to thin and flat chested. Clothing designers like that body style because they are human clothes hangers. I prefer a real woman with some curves. Height is secondary
no id rather have a girl shorter than me or my height but i defenitely know guys that like taller women its all preference but id say most men prefer shorter women
