To me it doesn’t matter but people
Tend to be set on their preferences which again to me is silly to be honest on to why people limit themselves on to what they like and don’t like about someone , because the reality of it is , we fall for someone that we have a great connection with and chemistry with period , yes attraction is part of it but not the number 1 thing , I showed interest to a girl I found to be very beautiful and she pretty much denied me cuz I don’t have a beard , which to me is the silliest thing ever , so basically she is only going to go for guys that have beards , I just laugh and think wow if people actually put their phones down and looked at the world around them they wouldn’t have many preferences , it seems people have too many preferences these days on what they want and what they are after and they are only hurting themselves by limiting themselves , if people actually stopped being brainwashed by shit they see on the internet they would realize preferences don’t really mean shit , having amazing connection and chemistry with someone is where love comes from
Gender roles. What man and woman are supposed to be, both externally and internally.
In this case, externally. When you think of a man, broad shoulders, narrow hips, deep voice, average height is higher than that of women. There is way more to attraction than just that but women do find those things attractive.
For some women, it has nothing to do with that because they won't even give the guy a chance if he doesn't meet a height requirement, even if he is taller than her. That's just being shallow and picky.
Both men and women do that, but in my experience, women do far more often but no one cares because it's the norm. People are too concerned with what it "should" be than allowing themselves to simply be happy.
Equal in balance usually means greater success in a relationship. A woman wants a man to feel safe and protected with. Somebody, she can lean on his chest with, a man wants somebody who he can hold dear and protect, so shorter women feels like he is a "big father/brother" protector in her life. Some women however may actually have a thing for short men, which is more of a genetic factor as is shorter men. It is genetics, not just preference. It is rare to see a mix-match, but as long as the couple is overall happy, nobody shouldn't judge. It may look weird, but hey, that's the couple.
Good question. From a female perspective I just feel more feminine next to a taller male and feel like he can protect me. Maybe he feels more masculine and protective.

Well I am 5'2 okay and I need somebody taller than me let's say 6,0 or 6,5 and I need to be able to get things done because I don't want somebody shorter than me or short like me so I will pick a dollar guy because if I need help reaching stuff I can't just get up there and reach it right I need somebody taller than them to get it. in my opinion I think guys like girls that are shorter than them because they like to feel powerful that I just feel like they can protect them or because that's just their preference. I mean they do like to be called "daddy"so😂🙈💕✨
Men are not anywhere near as focused on height as most women are..
I think for women, it’s about getting „the best deal they can“. My 5‘9 sister complained about my brother-in-law being the shortest male in his family (5‘11). Never mind that at that point he was in medical school!
I think it's to do with dominance and submissiveness, so I guess the greater the height, the more dominant the male comes across as, something the female may like and vice-versa, to some extent at least, both ways.
I've never dated before, but in theory, I like the idea of being with a taller girl, as I'm a really short guy (159cm), but it's not mandatory.
It's programmed in the subconscious because we are all animals.
The sexual dysmorphia in humans follows these lines because the male average height is ALWAYS bigger than the female average height.
Another forces must play for someone to deviate from this unconscious programming. Like me, I prefer taller women, but I clearly can see that not only I am a minority, but I am acting against my nature in doing that.
Detail: I'm 5'6'''. An exception among average males.
I don't know the reason because everyone is different in preferences. I know my preference is why I like tall guys. Here are 3 the reasons why I like tall guys...
1. I get to wear cute shoes with heels and still be shorter than him.
2. I used his height for high reaching places in the house and stores.
3. I used his eyes to see how far we are when it comes to go to a certain destination to see if we are near.
Gotta use the tall guys for my benefits of being short.
We grow up seeing men as taller than women then internalize height as a masculine train and petite ness as a feminine one.
in parts of the world with worse nutrition people are more likely to associate height with wealth and find it desirable in both.
Patriarchal beliefs that have conditioned guys into wanting a smaller female, because that's associated with femininity and submission, and a girl wanting a taller male, because that's associated with masculinity, strength and protection.
Because as far as I know a taller guy makes at least some women protected and safe. Guys don´t like taller women because of the "Napoleon syndrome" it makes some guys uneasy and in a way of like feeling a bemothered.
I prefer men to be either my height (5ft 3) or above.
I've never dates a man smaller than my height but I'm not too fussed if I adore his other characteristics.
For me I don't, but I'm guessing it's because the guy gets to feel more masculine and the girl feels more feminine.
Because most women want to be provided for, while most men want low maintnance.
Think about people in the goddamn woods, shorter people have lower metabolism and need less food, taller people can do way more.
I don’t have a height preference nor donI gravitate towards women on the smaller end of the height spectrum. If fact, I have only been involved with one ‘small’ woman.
Simple women want to be protected and men want to protect. Basic biology
I don't think this is a matter of preference.
I admire this photo.
I like taller guys because I like the feeling of being physically protected.
Because men on avaerage are taller than women so thats why its the norm. I actually prefer taller women.
Nothing wrong with choosing taller men. Heck I am 5'6 and I prefer girls shorter than me (5'2 - 5'5 range). I mean as long as he is taller than her it's fine.
A guy who is 5'6 - 5'7 range can still get women, heck even pretty women.
Guys below 5'3 have to settle with ugly midget girls if they are lucky enough.
That's just how it is mate. :)
I like taller men because they're sexier. I love to hug and cuddle a tall guy.
oh good lord.. it's because it goes back to the primal days of survival when men would protect the women and children from other men and wild beasts and animals. the hunter and gather protector scenario
girls shorter than them or a lot shorter than them?
