Are tall men automatically considered good looking/hot?

Question

I'm about 5'9, which is a little short (close to average), but it seems like every guy that is taller (5'11, and taller) is automatically considered good looking by women, regardless of how their face looks, or weight.

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.

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.

anniisa · Answer

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.

Porcelaine · Answer

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.

AlienParasite · Answer

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.

Bandit74 · Answer

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.

MissKittyz · Answer

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.

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

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.

Melshmallow046 · Answer

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.

darkwolf5276 · Answer

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

Browneye57 · Answer

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.

Hurlyburly · Answer

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.

KezHarris · Answer

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 :)

abadaba · Answer

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

bucky_barnes · Answer

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

Truthatanycost · Answer

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.

devilish-cutie · Answer

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

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

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!

jas3mineex0x3 · Answer

Face and body is what I notice more.
Not height.
I'm pretty sure it goes for everyone.

Moonchild714 · Answer

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.

Saarr · Answer

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😅

jeemm · Answer

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.

brandonk · Answer

Lmaoooo noooo I'm 6ft and get ghosted all the time. If they like they like if they don't they don't it is what it is. We can't change it so might as well find someone that appreciates us for us right?

Smiley_face101 · Answer

5'9 is not short and yeah being tall increases attractiveness but I have seen really unattractive tall men since they looked like a stick figure

thegirlfromthething · Answer

No, there are plenty of ugly tall guys. Tallness can make a guy’s body more attractive but he won’t be good-looking overall if he has a bad face or body.

CreativeMumble · Answer

Oh no. I know a very tall guy who is in no way good looking. Being tall is not a free pass to being good looking.

Huzair · Answer

You just have insecurity that's all. i guess hieght doesn't matter. It's about confidence and build that makes you attractive. And shorter mens are more active with womens then taller...

Hydrogen · Answer

I'm 6'2 tall and I think of myself as being short. When I stand next to my friends only then I actually feel tall. I think it's a personal preference but I do think girls feel safer with having tall guys around. Same goes with muscular guys.

4spie · Answer

Height is one of the important things to women, however if you're not tall, you can compensate in other ways. Some women will reject you, others won't. You could also move somewhere where people are shorter.

MajesticTwelve · Answer

No they're not. I've seen some really tall guys who looked hella goofy.

InTimoreDei · Answer

I beg to differ

Lynzerilee · Answer

Not for me, it all depends on the guy's overall personality. I've had crushes on guys both my height and shorter.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

You don't need to depend on height for sexual appeal. I'm 5'11, plenty of guys are taller than me. But Brad Pitt is 5'11 too. And Ian Somerhalder is 5'8/9.

CherryRoseChampange · Answer

No, but if they just so happen to be good looking and tall it makes things better.  Hopefully not abnormally tall, then that's just creepy.

nopedydoo · Answer

to look good tall you have to be built well. if you're scrawny, it looks awful bc as moonchild714 they just seem to be very awkward in their movements

Girls typically like taller guys, it gives the appearance of a bbn if man protecting you. Unaware that a BJJ expert smaller than them can lay them out fast.

Not automatically, they need to have a good looking face as well obviously. But tall men definitely have an advantage in looks over short men.
