Are tall men automatically considered good looking/hot?
Has anyone else noticed this?
No ones height has anything to do with their being good looking or not ! Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder anyway ! I have dated ugly looking men but they had good , loving hearts ! Kevin K. was not good looking nor was his other brothers or his one sister ! They did get teased about the - KKK - for their last name is Kluesener ! So it was like they were members of the - KKK - but they were not ! Their mom Janet is tall and a sweet loving mom and their dad Charlie was born a farm boy ! Janet and Charlie had - Keith , Kurt , Kathi and Kent and I think all got married but Kevin ! Kevin is the tallest in the church and in the family too ! I dated Kevin once and he is 6 ^ 4 and I am 5 ^ 1 tall and he is single ! He has a job but he also has limited funds do to his having to keep himself in clothes which he has very few of ! they are hard for him to buy for they are expensive for him to have made ! He can not move from where he lives now for he can not afford to move to another place do to his height and the fact that he can not afford his clothes and another place to live too ! I dated Kevin once and I am 5 ^ 1 tall and the only time I could see face was o our date and when he was sitting on the pew in front of me and then we were the same height ! He was trying to get romantic with me when I had become a member there at the church he was at too ! I could not see who he was exactly for he was so tall that the lights from the church ceiling kept me from seeing his face ! He and I did not get along on our first and last date for he was to shy to talk to me much but he waved at me in church then he wrote me a long letter and then we ended dating ! Thanks
5'9" is not short. That's pretty average. Average simply means somewhere in the middle. To answer the question though, no. Tall men are not automatically good-looking. I have seen a lot of tall guys that I would never date. More exists to be being handsome as opposed to just tall. Some tall guys are lanky and awkward looking. Some are tall and extremely overweight. Other tall guys have unattractive facial features. The list can go on. To me, height is mostly attractive when combined with an athletic and lean body type. That's why the basketball player or track and field runner's build has always been the sexist to me. In addition, you also need attractive facial features and a well-groomed appearance to be hot too, not just tall.
5'9 isn't average for my age group. If you include the older generations (which are shorter), yes, 5'9 is average. The average height for a guy my age is 5'11.
Studies have shown that not only do women consider tall guys hotter, they consider them to be more honest, better leaders, better providers, and better at sex.
During one study, they showed women a selection of photos of men, but the photos showed the men from the waist up and had the man's height written on them, but they changed the heights of the men for each woman, and they found that women always rate the tallest men as having the best personality traits.
If I was tall, I would fucking rob, cheat, and steal from every woman I met and never have to work a day in my life, because the taller you are, the more gullible it makes them, apparently.
It's like asking just having big boobs or having fine ass is enough for a woman to be attractive? No of course! Face, your personality, attitude etc. is too important as well. You can be tall and handsome but for some reason if you are very insecure, coward, girly like person would you considered hot? No! Women care your personality also. If you are tall and have great personality that women want (confident, assertive, fun etc.) then you can be attractive. But just height is not enough. Are there women just look for height? yes but most of them look for a lot of things also.

I can only speak for myself and no. Tall men definitely aren't instantly attractive just based on their height. I find that wuits strange tbh but to each their own.
I like men who are shorter than 6 foot because I'm 5'2 and 5'9 is an average height for the UK at least. So you're not considered short or tall. Just average.
@YoungBuII My first serious relationship; he was 5'5. The next guy was around 5'8-5'9 and my current partner is 5'11. My max height is typically 5'10 but sometimes you meet someone amazing and then 1 inch extra doesn't mean shit.
No lol. It's because you are insecure of your height that you only notice good things about taller men. Like girls when they want to be taller they compare themselves to models and think all guys want a tall girl, not all guys do. Or when they want massive boobs cause some girls think the bigger the more attractive to men. Most men I know like looking at big boobs but they'd rather date girls with normal ones. So it's not true. Height is just height. There are many different things that go into making someone good looking. Which is good so if you don't have one, focus on make some other one better.
Nope. In the class I've been last year the guys between 170cm and 180cm (5'9'' and under) were considered hotter than two guys that were above 180cm (5'9''+) However I think that in my country height is not given as much importance as in other countries, and that we pay more attention to other stuff such a facial traits more than height.
If it true that Spanish women have overgrown jello butts?
Probably not
I definitely believe that being tall significantly boosts a guys attractiveness and that being average or short can reduce your attractiveness but height on its own isn't going to make a guy attractive. A guy who has an unnatractive face and scrawny build isn't automatically going to be considered hot just because he's tall.
No fucking way. Attractiveness has nothing to do with how tall you are. You could be the tallest dude in the room and if you are fat and don't have a nice face, you are automatically ugly, not even close to good looking lol face and weight are still important factors. Height doesn't make someone more attractive.
I have a friend who is 6ft 8...
He gets a lot of women, because his height is sort of a gimmick. However a lot of women find him too tall.
I think yes, for the most part it improves attractiveness. it is probably top 3 most physically desirable trait women seek.
The face and personality matters way more to me. I'm 5'5" and my boyfriend is 6'2", but prior to meeting him, I would have preferred a guy around the 5'8" to 5'11" range so there wasn't as much of a height difference. I've never been very picky about height though.
The average height for a Male 15 years ago was about 5'6-5'7 but is now 5'10-5'11 so most guys in my generation and the next will be close 6ft, personally I'm 5'11, but my build is good for my height, so it really just comes down to if your build goes with your height
The average height for US males has been fairly consistent for about 100 years. It's 5'9". Most movie stars skew this idea because they're a few inches taller at 5'11" to 6'2", with some at the extreme ends at 6'3" (Chris Hemsworth, Gregory Peck, James Stewart) Fewer than 2% of men are taller than 6'2". Paul Rudd is 5'10, Jeremy Renner 5'9", Brad Pitt 5'11", Chris Evans, 6' Tom Hiddleston, 6' 2". Jeff Goldblum is 6'4". I'd say most guys near average height have the best body proportions: not overly long torsos or legs, but evenly balanced. The average height of a Civil War soldier was one inch shorter than today's man at 5'8". Actors like Rudd and Renner and Pitt are at or just above average American male height. Movie stars are mostly taller than average. But some very famous ones like Humphrey Bogart, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando were all right at or an inch above average. Paul Newman was 5'11. McQueen, 5'10", as is Sylvester Stallone. But the images they projected onscreen are larger than life.
Most popular movie stars have great faces, unique voices and mannerisms. That's what makes them attractive. Their height is not it. It's their ability, voices, faces, carriage. Some of these men have nice builds too, especially our superhero candidates. But height alone. Unless they were midgets, it wouldn't matter and none of them are.
Women are drawn to height as a measure of strength and power - that's what their lizard brain is programmed to. Money goes a long way toward the same measure - strength and power.
5-9 is not a problem, under 5-6 is, but there are still plenty of women of shorter stature that are drawn to man that has strength and power.
So hit the gym, HARD, and make a shit-ton of money. You'll have all the pussy you can handle. I guarantee it.
I'm not really attracted to guys shorter than myself, but being tall alone doesn't make a guy attractive either. Plus, a bad personality would be enough for me to consider a "hot guy" really unattractive.
@sparkdog I'm 5'10 so taller than me or at least the same height.
@sparkdog can you read?
@sparkdog he won't be hot for me.
@sparkdog nope.
@sparkdog would you give "someone a chance you aren't attracted to physically? This won't end good.
@sparkdog that's like "someone who's attractive just a little bit obese" for someone who's into fit men/woman. It doesn't work.
@sparkdog no. I'm attracted to someone because he's tall+has a great personality+similar interests+a nice voice etc etc. But yes, shortness is a turn off.
@sparkdog yes, it happened quite a few times. Yes, it did hurt but I can't change their preferences.
Average height for men here in Germany is 5'10 by the way which also includes older generations. So most guys my age are at least as tall as me.
@sparkdog and that's completely fine. As I said, I cannot change other people's preferences. Men are naturally attracted to shorter women and women are attracted to taller men.
@sparkdog well yes there are exceptions. There are also men which fancy morbidely obese women. It doesn't mean that most men do.
@sparkdog not "supposed to", but it is the case for most men.
@sparkdog nature.
@sparkdog because you cannot teach someone to have certain preferences.
Nope. I prefer guys who are between my height (5 ft 7") and 5 ft 11" at the most! I find guys who are too tall, harder to hug. And i prefer the shorter, cuter guys :)
6 foot guy here, women just seem to have that preference of taller men, but that does not mean you don't have a chance. You have to be confident in yourself because insecurities are not hot at all to women, trust me I've had plenty of experience in that field
Nah most of the guys I'm into are shorter than six foot. For me it's more about a smile and humor but like a good build is a bonus
When you say shorter than six foot, I'm assuming you mean guys who are 5'10, and 5'11 only?
No, I'm like 5"3 or something like that by the way, and the guy I'm kinda into at the moment is like 5"8 and this other guy I thinks cute is only 5"6
When you're an adult, you'll probably change your mind.
I doubt it, my taste in men isn't gonna change
I'm 5'7 and have lost count of how many women find me attractive. I know a guy that is over 6ft... he gets much less interest than I do. I love my height... really couldn't care less if some woman didn't find me attractive because of it.
height is attractive to women but not all men that are tall are attractive
thats like saying any woman that has perfect tits would be attractive to you
"thats like saying any woman that has perfect tits would be attractive to you"
Uh... even if a girl had an ugly face, I would think a girl with perfect tits is attractive.
thats very supeficial and i honestly dubt that, she could have really ugly face... crooked nose etc. and youd still find her attractive soley on her tits?
guy can be very tall and very skinny or very tall and very fat - being too fat/skinny would make his body look totally different and hight wouldn't matter much; he could also just have ugly face...
"thats very supeficial and i honestly dubt that, she could have really ugly face... crooked nose etc. and youd still find her attractive soley on her tits?"
Yes, I would, actually. I'm probably the least picky person I know to be honest.
then you dont seem to have self respect
Honestly height does not matter to me at all! Tall or short I wouldn't consider you short tho! Be confident in who you are wear a smile and im sorry other people have made you feel less than cause of your height! Your not!
I do prefer tall guys.
All my ex boyfriends were tall
But doesn't mean ALL tall guys are attractive.
I've seen not good looking tall guys
I've seen good looking tall guys.
Face and body is what I notice more.
Not height.
I'm pretty sure it goes for everyone.
@Rundown... Alexander Skarsgård that plays Tarzan. he's 6ft4 and I don't find him attractive.
He is hot as hell girl even me straight masculine guy can say that 😄
@Mamamialetmego Not everyone will find everyone attractive. Not everyone will find you attractive. Not everyone will find Alexander attractive.
I don't find him attractive and that's that.
I rather go for Jason Momoa (aka Aquaman). My type of TALL muscular man.
A lot of men will go gay for him as well.
What about Chris Hemsworth?
@Mamamialetmego Liam Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth are both hot
I see lots of Tall ugly guys. Actually, I think tall guys look awkward, they move awkward, they are awkward. If they are not atheletic they really are quite goofy... To me tall is 6 Feet and over.
Well, to my opinion it gives them a small head starter, but I care way more about someone's face and body type. I mean it's attractive if they are taller than me, but it's not such a big deal😅
I'd prefer a guy my height or taller. Taller guys are just more masculine which is why women are more attracted to them. Same way feminine features attract guys.
