I think its important to separate the types of attraction here. As a tall guy, I've gotten the whole "intimidation factor" my whole life.
There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE between "attracted to" & "gonna do anything about"
The thing is, because the big guy is "so intimidating", legally these days, he literally can't make the first move without a thumbs up from someone, indicating they won't be sued or arrested for it (simply because there *are* girls playing the "I had to. I felt pressured/intimidated into it, etc."
So, basically, a tall guy actually has *zero* "approach options" after he leaves high school, unless a girl is attracted to his career more than she's attracted to him.
Otherwise, it takes a brazen type of girl that gets past her fears and climbs that tree that gets to keep the view... 😅

I dont date a girl unless she is shorter and smaller than me. I want to be able to pick her up and carry her. Im pretty strong so if i can't do it not many could. Ideally i love girls around 5ft plus or minus 2inches and like 85 to 105lbs oh thats the sweet spot for me. 😍
To be fair with you, yeah. It's just a personal preference. I'm a really short girl, (153 cm), while the average length of women in my country is about 169 cm. Still though, I love tall guys. My legs go weak if I see a guy who's half a meter taller than me.
In a way I feel bad because it's normal for a guy to be taller than a girl, and all my friends keep telling me I should take the short guys because of that, but I feel like I can't really get attracted to them… Everyone has their own personal taste though, and I've heard short guys tell me they'd like it if I were a bit taller too. I don't really care though, there's someone out there for everyone.
Nope. I am 5'1 though so I'm pretty sure most guys are taller than that. I really hate my height. I wish I took the height gene from my dad and turned out to be at least 5'5 instead. He was over 6'0 but than my mom is 5'0 so I got an extra inch😂. Guess mother nature was like "screw you! you want it too bad"
Short height is. Personally I've never been attracted to short guys. It's not that they aren't attractive it's more so my preference. However tall height hasn't. I've always had a thing for tall guys.

Yeah, it is. I really strongly prefer someone a little taller than me (and larger in frame, in general). I am with someone my own height now, and I don't love that but it wasn't a dealbreaker because we hit it off so much. But shorter, I probably wouldn't. It's embarrassing when restaurant staff, etc. make comments where they've mistaken them for another female.
No, not really.
You can have equal amount of fun either being the same height. I used to like a guy who was only an inch and a half taller and I’m 5ft 5.
Most girls are going to say yes cause it gives them some sort of protection I guess. It doesn’t bother me.Yeah. If you're shorter than me, or within my height range, its probably a no-no. I'm 5'4, I don't want to go out with a tiny man whose also 5'4. If I was taller, I wouldn't care as much. I prefer over 5'8.
I think most girls have a strong preference for guys in the 6ft-6'3 range but know there aren't enough of them for every girl to get one so most will settle for a guy who is average height if he compensates for it in other ways. Height starts to become more of a dealbreaker when the guy is 5'6 or shorter.
Yeah women want to be able to select men based on physical preferences men can't control. But they then turn around and piss and moan that men want to be able to select women based on physical preferences that women can indeed control.
Quite hypocritical if you ask meI think it'd be prudent to say what you consider 'tall'. Otherwise, you get different people with different ideas of what's considered tall. I imagine guys' viewpoint on what tall looks like is different than what girls consider tall due to the fact that guys are, on average, taller than girls.
yes absolutely. im a taller girl and i need a taller guy. he doesn't have to be much taller but as long as he is im fine.
If it is, then that's her preference.. but if that disqualifies him, then she can never say that there are no good guys out in the world... if she has turned him down for a superficial reason. It's a major reason, yes. But just because he didn't have the height requirement she asked for, doesn't mean there are no go guys. He could have treated her better than any guy of her preference
I can't imagine a shorter guy having me !
Men should be taller :)You're girl too please tell me you are take on this question
I prefer the guy to be taller, which is not hard really considering that I am 4'10". I guess it would be a bit awkward to be next to a man who's 6' but not necessarily a deal breaker.
Yes it can be.. I’m a short girl (5’3) and dating someone close to my height in some way makes me feel unprotected as cruel as that sounds. I have a preference of someone over 5’10 at least.
Not necessarily. He doesn't have to be 6'0. I tend to like average height men to tall. I would say if he's 5'0 or shorter then it might be a little weird.
I’m 5’4 and I went out with a guy who was 5’1-5’2. He was creepy so I ended things. I don’t care so much about height because usually the guys who are over 6 ft are full of themselves anyways.
I like guys taller than me but that’s not very difficult to find. Most everyone is taller than me.
I can be, I prefer guys who are around the same height, not way taller or way shorter
I’m 5’8 and I like guys to be at least my height, but preferably taller
I'm 5.4 and love a taller guy but happy to date any guy regardless of their height, smaller or same height. Nice personality and that they can look after themselves is most important.
No, I really don't understand this whole thing about height. I don't understand why it's such a big thing. If I'm interested in someone, then Ill take them as they are.
It would be. I wouldn't really wanna date someone too short but at the same time, too tall would be bad too. I'm 5'2 and I think anywhere in the range of 5'5 to 6'1 is good
