Why are tall guys so hot?

[Babygirl_S]

[MCheetah]

Because instinctively, women tend to be weak and petite, and love the idea of a big strong man protecting them going back tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago to the cavemen days. Tall women tend to desire tall men *less* but still want them, because they find themselves to be less likely to be threatened or intimidated by bigger people.

Like, short women tend to want guys AT LEAST 6'0"/183 cm tall, and nothing shorter. While tall women tend to want guys AT LEAST the same height or taller than them, even if that's still not tall on a man in general (like a 5'10" girl being okay with a 5'11" guy).

In general, women find it sexy to have a big strong man protect them, even if short guys who are less than six feet, like me, find it extremely annoying how women aren't into them. It sucks, but it's partly biology, partly psychology. My short 180 cm ass is better without a woman, anyway.

I'm on the far right-side of the picture.

[Aguysopinion4799]

Maybe girls don't like looking down to their partner? I don't know, it has always been a trait that seems to be desirable for women, they all seem to want tall guys, not to say short guys have no shot but girls do by majority prefer taller guys and I can't really point out the reason.

maybe because it makes them feel safer? knowing they have someone beside them who looks more intimidating perhaps because they are taller? Who knows.

[RP_Blackburn]

Link to the study please? That sounds bogus. MOST of the relationships I know there is no significant height difference between them. The ones with the man as the one noticeably taller are almost all older couples as well (and the women are usually slightly on the heavier side, though I do not know if they all were when they first got married). This study might be out of date, and is definitely too narrow.

[casserolie]

honestly I've seem some tall guys that aren't attractive, y'all just see one or two and think tall guys > guys who aren't as tall 😌 i prefer the ones around my height

[pickedcrisps]

What's your height?

[casserolie]

@pickedcrisps 5'3. its really not that hard to be taller than me

[pickedcrisps]

Fair enough. Will you be happy with a man hour height did you say in your original answer? 👍

[pickedcrisps]

*your height. Sorry. Autocorrect. *

[pickedcrisps]

I guess it's the opposite of body structures male and female. A female looks hotter with hips. Likewise a tall man has a bigger uhh canvas to showcase his muscles in his chest. The taller man surely the long the chest or some regions maybe muscled long thighs make a man look athletic.

Enough to make a woman swoon 👅👅👅😋😋

[pickedcrisps]

*the longer the chest.
Ah well.
Personally I'm 6ft tall or 6ft 1. I am slim but not muscled though if I actually bothered to actually try, I couldve had muscles by now. At least not big but just.. think Andrew Garfield in Spider Man. But I'd never use protein shakes.

[pickedcrisps]

Neither would I use all that stuff like it. I'd just balance a simple diet, doctor's actual advice that tailors to me, and then hit the gym 5 days a week on off. Rest days. And know it'll take me like years to get muscled. Maybe 3-5 years it would take of effort. But it would be honest. Not the shortcut way of shakes shakes and more green tea extract. Yuck. 😱

[Sonorous]

When you learn the biological reasons for why we're sexually attracted to certain things, you'll know the answer.

In this case, it's because tall guys seem more competent in terms of being able to have healthy offspring and being able to more easily protect them because of their size.

[Petra150]

That's a lot of crap , my hubby is 8 " shorter than me

[LadyCroft]

@Petra150 the question is for men and women. not trannies hiding behind pink profiles

[Sonorous]

@Petra150 - Never said there weren't deviations. But a general pattern can be observed. If girls don't settle with the tall guys, they sure do most likely value them more than shorter guys when they're in their fertile years. It's just how most women are biologically wired.

[Petra150]

Guess your a tall guy to believe that nonsens, if your not you might as well find a bridge to jump from. If ordiny people accept horriy Heightism in any way everything is over and out. May I ask you would you accept a world were tall people are ruling just die to height, as there's absolutely nothing else gold to be said about being tall , than you can reach the top shelf , my best advice for every of my fellow sisters are get s ladder , it will save them s lot of problems, and date shorter guysnevef forget there's a reason tall guys live a shorter life, they are simply born unhelthy, eat more take up more space , are lazy as hell , have difficulty accepting other people , usually can't get it up are far worse productive in work and in bed for sure. And no need to mention Intelligence , I wouldn't bring out the most obviously thing , as it's hard to mesure but the attractiveness WTF would like a 2 meter guy in the bed or even worse have to look at him. Being 204 cm tall myself , I would definitely look awkward with a 2 meter guy in my hand , it would look like a fixed relationship just to please antique society norms, who's only result is sick heightism that result in horribe hate towards mainly men NOT tall , who live a life in misery due to us womens sick Preference and fucking redicolas height requirement

[pickedcrisps]

The easy answer was my basic answer, to break it down to the old fashion view: women have larger buttocks/hips, men have bigger biceps/chests.

Now tell me any human of average, and assuming heterosexual in attraction, does not find those attractive purely based on biological unconscious instinct of: Gee, they sure look hot.

[pickedcrisps]

@Sonorous and to you Petra too, please be kind to each other after seeing above comments. Mental health is always a valuable topic and nobody likes criticism one way or the other or personal attacks. Let's all be civil here please and respectfully do I say so. I felt obliged to include this in supplement to my comment.
Have a good day to you both and please be well :)

[Sonorous]

@pickedcrisps - Whoever she is, I doubt she'd listen to you on that. I remember commenting more than that but she must have deleted it

[pickedcrisps]

Have a good day all and be kind 💓

[Sonorous]

@pickedcrisps - No promises man. People create some very broad & misguided criteria for what it means to be kind. So if I'm honest, I'd inevitably fail to meet their criteria. Even if I'm being civil. Some people just don't like honesty.

[pickedcrisps]

Cya all 👍

[WhiteSteve]

I’m 6’2, I’ve had girls say they like it, and that’s fine. But I don’t really get why it’s such a requirement for a lot of women, particularly when it doesn’t take much to be taller than half of them. If a chick is 5’3 how tall does a guy really need to be? Haha

[Cherry234]

Because women like looking up at them and they like wearing heels but still being shorter than the guy. Tall guys also stand out because there aren't too many of them

[K-I-S-S]

Yeah? 🤔

Well, a short guy can spot a booger coming out of your nose a lot quicker, thus possibly saving you from an embarrassing moment, at least few times per week. 😏

Hah... What can a tall guy do? Sniff your hair? 😌

[fonduegirl]

Not necessary. They need to have a good looking face and some muscles too in order to be considered "hot". Simply being tall isn't going to do the trick.

[SHREYASH007]

you are right and also have some intelligence is necessary which is really important.

[fonduegirl]

High IQ looks sexy on anyone

[SHREYASH007]

really , so will you date a dwarf with high IQ, need practical answer.

[SHREYASH007]

girls usually want a complete package , generally.

[fonduegirl]

If the dwarf loves me, yes

[_notabandoned]

Dwarf reporting for his daily attendance

[fonduegirl]

You're not that short lmao

[Anonymous]

This “study” doesn’t sound very realistic why would height effect how happy someone is in a relationship. You’re in that relationship cuz I would assume you’re already happy with them.

[Phoenix98]

It stems from a primal place and our more primal past and honestly women by design generally find taller men attractive.

[genericname85]

:D humans are just animals. don't forget that. why does a female want a "tall and strong male"? for protection. i know some people would love to think we're better than that. we're not.

[lanadelrey25]

Bc I want a man who can easily dominate my tiny self.

[Iknowbestgirls]

That's hot! I'm a dominate type myself and would love to dominate your sexy little body babe! 😏😉

[Lion91]

Because in that way the small people can get all washed up 😄

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

As a 6'2 guy I can say that yes we do have some head start. But that is not everything.

[R3DthatDude]

Because women want to feel safe and being tall is associated with safety and protection.

[blondfrog]

Same reason women with bigger boobs are hot in general.

[SHREYASH007]

I cannot stop laughing.. lol

[blondfrog]

@SHREYASH007 And I got a dislike for this lol. Remember when it comes to women we have to accept all sizes but women can have standards for their size preference? of course that's fair lol.

[poneglyphs]

I don't know, but as a short guy I wouldn't mind dating a tall woman.

[Anonymous]

Because you feel more protected and feminine next to them?

[GAGSucksBalls1]

Because girls feel like they're more "protected" by a taller guy. when really it has nothing to do with it

[GAGSucksBalls1]

All girls want, is that he be taller than her.. thats typically what they want. My dad is only 5'10" that's average, not tall at all

[misanthropistkev]

Because women are fags and they like to call dibs on bottom in relationships

[pickedcrisps]

Is this a joke or sarcasm answer? I'm so confused and then ashamed if I'm so dumb as to question my own confusion of your answer above oops 🤭 I'm sweating ,😅

[COMMODOREII]

Im not sure but girls like me that way. Lol I'm 6'2 tall.

[Shihab-91]

Because he gives the feeling that he is strong and make her feel safe

[Vetis]

there's a latent plan to reproduce and you want your babies to be taller than normal.

[EaterPeter]

I don't know but I am fortunate to be little over 6ft.

[rebeliouse]

cos they are closer to the sun so therefore hotter by nature

[Queenofthedog]

I don't like taller men because they must be idiots. Since I am one of the shorter women on earth, I will never date a taller man. They will always intimidate me regardless of their height.

[more_than_a_guy]

You just feel that tall guys can protect better, bigger.

[Anonymous]

Because as a female you are attracted by tall males..
Lol. Aren't tall women equally hot and attractive to you?

[Babygirl_S]

No, I'm straight.

[Opinion Owner]

Hahaha... ok
How tall do you like guys... and what's your height?

[Babygirl_S]

Anything above 5'11" and I'm 5'4".

[Opinion Owner]

Umhmm. Ok. In India you might be having slightly tough time getting 6'+ men , in general!!
Lol
Just wondering, I know you love/prefer tall men ; but still what's your opinion on short men, as In a man who is your height?

[Babygirl_S]

I can easily find tall guys :)

[SHREYASH007]

no it is not easy to find tall men in India , in my friends group only I and my friend are tall rest all are between the range of 5'5 to 5'8.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 how tall are females in the group?

[SHREYASH007]

most of the girls in India are in the range of 4"11' to 5"5'

[SHREYASH007]

Indian diet is carb rich not protein rich , so this is the problem.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 how tall are you

[SHREYASH007]

6"1'

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 wow dude. You might be a craze among the ladies

[SHREYASH007]

I am introvert so don't know about it.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 damn it. Why wasting your God's / nature's gift?
How can such a tall n superior male be shy n introvert around girls?
The girls don't show any signs / hints?

[SHREYASH007]

yes but I want to be with just one and the best girl, not interested in fuckboy stuff.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 you can still be friends with females.. doesn't mean you'll be fuckin them all

[SHREYASH007]

yeah I am slowly trying to become ambivert, soon I will be a bit social guy.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 do the girls try to talk or initiate talks with you?

[SHREYASH007]

yes they do sometimes.

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 umhmm and you get embarrassed and shy?

[SHREYASH007]

earlier I used to.

[abc3643]

Who did the study? The NBA?

[TruthBringer]

@petra150 You're going to love this one

[Petra150]

Guess I'm just getting tired down voting this leading question , or perhaps the person asking the question, been dam lucky and saw a hot tall guy, must be just as seldom as swing a Rosa unicorn

[LadyCroft]

@Petra150 except you're a tranny hiding behind a pink profile. Reddit is full of your shit by now.

[Anonymous]

Kind of false if he has a too big dig he will hurt you

[RingOfFire]

Easier to give them a BJ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[iFarted]

Just a random short guy passing by :(

[Anonymous]

I don't know, they're gross to me.

[NYlatefun]

That stat is hilarious! I’m 6’1” so I’m biased.

[Waldoe]

I should STOP dating tall girls

[Hassaniscool]

You tell us since u asked

[Lynx122]

Dunno :D

[Anonymous]

Taller = longer penis (usually)

[SHREYASH007]

Really?

[Opinion Owner]

@SHREYASH007 Generally bodies are proportionate.

[jshm2]

Closer to the sun.

[Anonymous]

Stop trying to trigger short men.

[bannacookies]

Are they?

[SHREYASH007]

I feel just being tall is not enough, if the top floor is empty then no use of being tall.

[Clarke498]

Lol, what study?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Because they’re tall
