Guys, would you date a woman taller/bigger/stronger than you?

Question

Ladies, would you date someone smaller/shorter/frail side than you? When it comes to physical aspect. Think Captain America before the experiment

Pod1289 · Accepted Answer

My partner is the same hight as me, her body frame is also the same as mine, her hands are larger than mine, and I'm not a small man by any means (5"11). I'm not intimidated by tall women, but I guess I like to feel as though I'm stronger physically, and can lift heavy things that she can't, perhaps if she were stronger than me I would feel as though my masculinity had been undermined and although I'm aware of it, I think somewhere deep down it might negatively affect my confidence as a man.

Looks, strength height etc are all superficial. The true connection comes from the inside and lasting relationships are build on more than just looks and size. Look and connect with the things which the other person can control. Not what they cannot. This way you will see their true personality and caring side.

TenderFantasy · Accepted Answer

I dated a guy that was about an inch shorter than me. I was a bit embarrassed but that really wasn't the deciding factor in breaking up with him. He was a player/cheater.

Just_someone23 · Accepted Answer

I'm tall I'm 5'11. I think small guys are cute.

Logorithim · Answer

Taller, definitely. As to bigger or stronger, maybe. I don't find female bodybuilders attractive and if she is too overweight, that would be a dealbreaker as well. But one that is into for example, Crossfit, sure. I've also seen some powerlifters that I found really attractive.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Shorter? Sure!

But frail or weaker? Hell no. If I can break a guy in half like a toothpick or he's weaker than I am, it won't work out with me.
I rather date a guy that has some physical endurance and stamina and can keep up with me.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

Sure. Those things don't matter. If I like someone... I like them. 😉

ChurchOfIron · Answer

Maybe. Recently saw the strongest woman in the world pound for pound, Stefi Cohen. She weighs 123 pounds and squats 500 pounds. And weighs less than me. It's kind of ridiculous-strong. She's strong as fuck. I only squat 300 or so. I should squat more, but I've had some knee issues and several hamstring injuries. The ironic part is I bench 270. So my chest and arms are about as strong as my legs. Which is kinda depressing. I'm getting side tracked, haha. Point is, Stefi is 1.65x stronger than me, lower body. And she weighs 20 pounds less than me. She's a beast.

She's got relatively large arms, too. It's not the most attractive thing in the world, but we'd share a love of fitness, so maybe. She seems kinda cool, chill, confident. Doesn't have the best looking face, though. But in a certain light she looks attractive to me. At least with clothes on. At the same time, she looks quite masculine with her arms and legs, which is a pretty big turn off. *processing... ... ...*

I dunno. It would definitely be out of the ordinary for me. And it definitely would not be ideal. But possible, I think. I'd def want to *get* stronger than her at some point. And I'd know that I should have a higher potential, as a male, and she's trained a lot longer than me, so I should be able to catch up to her, even though I'm old now.

To actually answer the question, I could deal with stronger. Bigger, I don't think I could. Taller, possible.

Mollynotgemma · Answer

I have dated a shorter guy than me but he will always be my first love! Love overrides everything!
I agree that I would prefer a man taller than me because that’s natural! So initial attraction would be to the taller guy! But you can only be with someone taller because he makes you feel safe for a certain amount of time before love prevails and the short guy is not short anymore he is the love of your life and looks are instantly irrelevant! Look and Jamie cullum and Sophie dhal! Height is an initial attraction and it takes a certain type of guy to be able to be shorter than their woman! And that is attractive.
The term small man syndrome is a fact and that’s because by being short they know they have had to build on their personality as without that they are not going to get noticed!
Why date a boring skyscraper when we all want to end up with a bungalow!

Compodulator · Answer

The question, of course, is "how bigger"?
Like, I wouldn't date a young female Arnold Schwarzenegger.
(With all respect to Mr Arnold, try as I might, I can't spell his surname right)
BBW and SBBW is also a big nono. They're not "beautiful", they're obese, and obesity is a sign of poor self care.
But if she's proportionally the same as an average woman, except twice the size somehow?
There would be some logistical issues, obviously, but that aside, I don't think I'd have too much trouble. At least initially.

BeMuse · Answer

No I’m not into She-Hulk. I’m 6’3” with a large muscular frame. That’s not really what does it for me in the opposite sex. I do like when they have willpower and will try to do things themselves though. There are plenty of things a lot of women can do if they just try, but a lot of them will try and find a cop out as to why they can’t do it. I hate that weak spirited play the little girl crap. I like to see them try their hardest and when they do it, it feels good to know they can and will always try their best. If they come up short I’m happy to help.

jgokgotit · Answer

Taller and stronger would not matter to me. As for bigger, it depends. If she is bigger than me then she probably would not look feminine enough for me. Funny thing is, in both of my serious relationships, the first girl was taller than me and roughly equal in strength. The 2nd girl I dated was shorter than me but about twice as strong, even though I was in the military. I wonder if her being Russian had anything to do with it? Most of the Russian women I've met who are my size or not much smaller than me have all been stronger than me.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

Taller= perhaps, but I'd almost always prefer same height or shorter. If a girl can rest her head on my shoulders at standing height, then she fits me like two puzzle pieces locking together :D

Stronger= Well, strength has more to do with neurology, and muscle fibre recruitment, etc. Girls can be "dainty" but, with training, could nonetheless be very strong for their weight class. That said, I'm not into stocky/ muscular women, although "gym-fit" body type can be sexy as long as muscles aren't bulging and big. It always comes back to "slim and toned" for me.

CubsterShura · Answer

I'm already so small myself I'm afraid a guy shorter than me isn't done with his puberty yet and I'm certainly not into pubescent boys.

But I generally don't mind shorter guys. Even if I was tall, I wouldn't. I came across some amazingly charming guys who were really short and I didn't think their height mattered. They would be just as amazing if I was taller.

TheSpartan · Answer

Taller? Yes, no problem.

Stronger? It’s extremely unlikely that’ll I ever meet a woman as strong as me in real life outside of an elite, super heavyweight female powerlifting national or international meet. My guess is maybe 1 in 100,000 woman would come anywhere close. So, the question just isn’t practical. If I did meet a woman as strong or stronger than me, then I’d assume she’s a heavy steroid abuser as well as elite strength athlete, and I wouldn’t date someone who sacrifices their own health to such a regard.

I probably wouldn’t date a woman bigger than me (180 lbs, 5’8) because she’d almost certainly be fat. The only way this might not be the case is if she was very tall (5’10+) and a dedicated athlete. In which case, no, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Harmseygrace · Answer

I'm smaller than my boyfriend in height and weight, but only by a few centimetres (an inch) and a few kgs (16lbs) and I'm stronger. I can wrestle him and pick him but I don't really care. Its kinda funny. 😂

CarpetDenim · Answer

I would not be interested in someone who was smaller/shorter/more frail than me, but there’s a slim chance a good personality could still win me over, though I find it unlikely that a successful relationship would result from this type of situation due to the lack of physical/sexual attraction I would have to him.

x86armx64 · Answer

Well I'm 6ft 6" tall so if there's a woman out there that tall, where are you? Back ache I get from lowering myself down to the height if short people 😂 I could do taller, but men should really be stronger, not into the whole female body building thing, without sounding sexist, it just doesn't look right.

Skelmir_Nathair · Answer

Physical appearance means fuck all to me.
If you have a beautiful mind and heart. Then I'll find you beautiful.
If you're ugly in heart and mind. It doesn't matter if you're the hottest woman on earth.
I have absolutely no interest in you...

So, yeah really dont matter what her size is... Lol

Grobmate · Answer

One of the things I've found surprisingly important to women and not so much us Men, (I'm recently dating again), is that they want to be shorter than the man. In their words, if they can't wear high heels and still be shorter than him, then they aren't as willing to date. E. g. if a guy is 175cm tall and she is 173cm, she is unlikely to want to date him.

While bizarre, it is what it is I guess. Maybe the women here can speak on the subject. Great question by the way.

cth96190 · Answer

One of the women I dated was taller than me, a lot taller.
She was/is so much taller that the top of my 5’8” head is level with the top of her shoulders.
She also has a muscular athletic build, due to a lot of gym work and martial arts, which was how we met.
She is stunning, in a Victoria’s Secret sort of way.
She is also a barrister, who does mainly criminal work.
I wanted her DNA in my babies, but she had other priorities at the time.
We are still close friends.

lilyisabelll · Answer

I’ve only had three boyfriends but 2 out of three I have been stronger than, I’m short af but I’m a gymnast so I have a lot of muscle, my current boyfriend is 6’1, I’m 5’1 and I carry him around all the time, he finds it funny, he can barely hold me for 2 minutes 😂I don’t mind though

AmorgansHorse · Answer

All fine with me... I will say though physiologically speaking it's almost impossible for a woman to be stronger. I can confirm that this is in fact a fact as I've only been in the gym 6 months and can outlift a lot of athletic women who have been working out for years. Also you can research online but it doesn't matter because I doubt that was meant by the question.

weirdoweirdo · Answer

Taller? No. Stronger? Unless she is taking steroids it'd be literally impossible for a womans body to be as strong as mine especially if we are the same age (Im a powerlifter) Bigger? I mean they could physically have thiccer thighs and such but not over weight, thank you. These "standards" are why I'll never find someone I'll be able to call mine.

evm987 · Answer

My boyfriend is shorter than me, same weight, and slightly stronger. I find no issue with it. I just appreciate that he's strong enough to pick me up :)

GamingDragomachina · Answer

I personally don't give a crap what you look like. Honestly. I mean, yes, there are traits i might be more inclined to gravitate toward, but at the end of it all, what makes a relationship is having a connection. And I got an odd mix of both extremes with my girl, i shorter smaller girl that's nearly double as strong as i am.

loggrrhead · Answer

Omg yes. only a man easily intimidated inexperienced or full of shit wouldn't. I mean bring on 6+ foot blond or brunette stacked with an hour glass figure an legs like the Eiffel tower. I could only imagine the possibilities. I can tell you this I'd make it a habit to get lost between those legs. Guys are to ego driven to expierence any kind of sexual taboo they are scared they may like it when she wipes that ads. Lol.

emmily2396 · Answer

Well, i would prefer a guy who is stronger and bigger. I just don't feel attracted to fragile looking men.

mistixs · Answer

It's extremely difficult to get shorter/smaller/frailer than a woman with the body measurements of a 12 year old & who has lost at armwrestling to 10 year old girls.

PrettyRegular · Answer

Yeah sure. I have nothing against strong women. I'm tall, so she probably wouldn't be taller. I think girls are not too much weaker than guys. For example @wowgirl30q would probably win me easily in a MMA fight, because she trains it and she's strong. Being a boy and being taller wouldn't help me that much.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

No. If you weigh more than about 120 its doubtful I'd be interested unless its all 100% ass and tits which occasionally I've come across. Think rap video girls. But still I'm going to cap out at about 160. Height is not so important but for every bit taller you are i still like the same weight limits so you just have to be that much thinner.

Miss_Savanna_Dry · Answer

If I have to be completely honest, no I wouldn't date a guy smaller/shorter/weaker than me. Then again I've only met 2 guys with this description

datgirl · Answer

I will never date a man smaller, shorter and weaker than me. No exceptions. I need a man to be taller, stronger and larger. I need to feel like im a woman and with a man.

RussianNestingDoll · Answer

I don’t mind. I would cuddle him. Men feel emasculated by the woman being bigger and stronger in some cases, and that’s the last way I’d want a man to feel🤔

nobbb93 · Answer

I had this friend once. Really tall girl. Funny as hell. She deadlifted me once, and even though it was aided by the fold up stairs I was sitting on I still felt like I should go paint my nails. So my answer is probably no

JackSmy · Answer

Of course!! Why would that matter!! I really like some of the Big Ten College Volleyball ladies, and they are a few inches taller! Probably stronger, too, working out, and being super active!

elissa23Trans · Answer

I would date a shorter guy, yes. I’m 5 feet 5’’6 so he would be really short but if he is masculine in behavior and looks manly and with strong features, yes I would date him.

Lliam · Answer

No. I tend to prefer petite women. In terms of fitness, I would prefer a woman who is into things like yoga, dance, or even martial arts as opposed to weight training.

SirRexington · Answer

Taller? Likely not too big a problem. Bigger? In what context? Chubby? Because I don't mind chubby girls at all, in fact I quite enjoy a chunky chick. Bigger as in muscular? Hell no. I'm not a fan of muscular women. I like soft smooth women.

randodude23 · Answer

Personally I would find it emasculating to date a women taller or stronger than me. In regards to bigger, it really depends on the woman. In most case I do not find women that are significantly overweight attractive, so while not a blanket statement I likely wouldn't be inclined to go for a bigger women.

Kurαȷ · Answer

Taller, yes. Bigger and/or stronger? Definitely not. Willowy, supple, lithe, slender, those are the words I want to be able to describe a potential partner with.

Bluebot · Answer

taller and bigger sure, if the feelings are there I dont mind that. But if she's stronger then me then Id probably be uninterested. Im quite fit and thatd mean she's too muscly looking

humanearth · Answer

I have dated a girl taller then me and I'm 6 foot 3 and she was a half inch taller than me.

And I married a girl that is strong than me. She can beat most men in arm wrestling. In her 20s she was a pro arm wrestler.

So yeah I can and have

SexyAshh · Answer

Lol def not, im only 5’3 That would make him a legal midget basically🙈

Marina_34 · Answer

I think that the personality is the most important thing, so yes, ans im 6'2 soo most od the guys that i know are smaller 😂😂

TheKack · Answer

Taller? Sure. I'm push 5'7" so it's not hard to be taller than me. Bigger? It depends on the definition and how she carries it. Stronger? I mean, maybe, but I don't find overly muscled women attractive, so it depends on her physique.

AynonOMouse · Answer

No way. I'm 6' and 265, but once a woman passes 5' 8" she starts losing appeal/looks less attractive to me. I prefer short petite looking girls and athletic looking girls like some of the ones on the national soccer team are good too.

WintersDaughter · Answer

Can I just say that, as a women I would not date someone smaller than me

asd_nasa · Answer

Doesn’t matter, if I’m attracted to her I’d like to date her. It’d be pretty interesting finding a girl I like who’s also stronger than me

ShadowofRegret · Answer

I certainly would, that sounds ideal, as long as steroids were not involved of course, it would be nice having someone like that to have my back.

cjbigld · Answer

Love a women in shape that can hold her own, however for her to be bigger then me would just not be right. I also don't think she would look attractive to me, frist thought would be it's a man lol

Aethereal · Answer

I would. Height is irrelevant to me, and I can work on getting bigger/stronger if I ever feel self-conscious about it.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

I tried it once. Her height wasn't the issue. It was her manipulative behavior that doomed the relationship.

AndrewMG · Answer

Pretty much every girl I've dated I've been taller or bigger than, I tend to date feisty girls though so most like to think/may be stronger than me lol

Liam_Hayden · Answer

Taller, yes. I have and I'm 6'2. She was a beach volleyball player.

Bigger and stronger? I suppose female heavyweight power lifters would be bigger and stronger, but they would be too masculine for me to find them attractive, so no.

InTimoreDei · Answer

Taller - sure Bigger - sure Stronger - Doubt that would ever happen. I train semi-professionally in MMA and I'm not attracted to muscle women

biffthewonderdog · Answer

I take people as i find them personality is what attracts me to others

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

Probably not. She would be incredibly masculine and therefor not feminine enough for me

Hønesty · Answer

I'd be shocked if you found someone taller than me (6 foot 9) but sure lol

the_face_of_god · Answer

Depends. It would be intimidating, but if she's a kind, loving, compassionate, and affectionate girl, then I would. She'd have to pretty hot too.

JayParris · Answer

I'm 5'11, 202lbs, and 11.5% body fat. The only women who would meet those requirements are the ones on heavy doses of anabolics. No thanks

bradbury · Answer

Yeah if there was physical attraction and personal connection

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Not really. Just like girls who don't date guys shorter, smaller and weaker than them.

Nik1hil · Answer

I am okay with her being taller than me.. But she cannot be bigger and stronger than me.. Considering I am quite strong..  There is plenty space
