What is the appeal with short women?

[Cybermetal93]

It seems like 90% of men on here and in general seem to only like women under 5'4 simply because they are "small and short." As far as I know most of you are actually hypocrites because you don't even realize that when you're saying you like short women you're lowkey indicating you like short women that weigh like 100 lbs or less. Just an FYI, let me discuss how the human body works. First off, as people get older their metabolism gets slower. Secondly, the smaller someone is, the more likely they are to get fat. Thirdly, the BMI for smaller women is actually different from other people as even 5 lbs more on a smaller woman's body is more likely to push her toward being overweight.

Fourthly, you indicate you only like "petite" women (under 5'4) but realistically, most adult women aren't actually petite or at least the ones pushing 30+ for the reasons I just stated, women and people naturally gain weight as they get older. In order to be "petite" you have to be under 5'4 and not be of a BMI that is overweight nor obese, possibly not even on the higher end of the normal BMI for your height.

So in this case, if all of you guys that like short women, you basically want her to weigh 110 lbs maybe even 100 lbs or less depending on how short. But realistically, its actually harder for a human being to weigh that low and maintain it compared to gaining weight as eventually you will end up gaining weight at some point if you weigh as much as a feather. So a good question to men that like short women, you would be perfectly okay with fat short women right? Probably not, point proven.

I seem to have an "immediate" attraction for shorter women, and yes even if she's overweight sometimes. However height isn't important to me. A woman that's taller than me isn't a "deal breaker" at all. And I can't say why it is, just something about shorter women is a turn on. I think the general "view" of a woman (by society), is she's fragile, delicate etc, and short kind of plays along with that stereotype maybe? I don't know - guessing with my Psychology degree hat lol. More on the Psychology, we guys are also viewed as "protectors", and I think short women give us that feeling (same reason women like tall guys, they feel protected). But you are also right to some degree, that often petite women are small in general, weight included. But I also personally find "petite", or shorter women just more proportionate in general often, which I also find attractive. Like they are just the right size all around.

[Cybermetal93]

How are they more proportionate? Most short women I see aren't very proportionate. Depends on what you mean by "shorter" too. Women under 5'2 aren't usually very proportionate

why are you hating on short women?

[Anonymous]

Just a question man. Do you really think sucking up to taller women are going to get you a sniff?
I like shorter women because they tend to be friendlier that's all. I'm 6 and a half feet tall and half the tall women that show interest in me is mainly because of my height. How would she feel if half of my interest was in the size of her tits?
Most tall women I've met are just socially stunted.
Which would you rather be with a woman who values you and shows it or one that expects you to constantly stroke her ego.

[Cybermetal93]

As if shorter women are any different? Shorter women also go after tall guys because they are tall. So shorter women get a pass because they're shorter and tall women aren't allowed to prefer tall men? You sound like a dick

[Opinion Owner]

As I said most tLl women I'VE met are socially stunted. Tall women are allowed to prefer any men they want even me. Just know the feeling ISN'T mutual. Why would you want to put her through that rejection?
And I sound like a d*ck? Lol you sound like a NAZI telling others who to be attracted to a why.

I guess I'm not a petite woman then since I'm 5'5. I think it's unrealistic to expect a woman who's under 5'4 to only weigh 100 lbs or weigh less than that like you said because people gain weight. I weigh way over 100 lbs but I'm at a healthy weight for my height. I'm around 145 lbs, almost 150 lbs.

I guess that means I'm at the higher end of the MBI spectrum but I'm slim and I have small wrists. I'm nowhere near fat or overweight. I just think that BMI is misleading because some people have naturally large frames or they have a lot of muscle mass. BMI doesn't take those things into account. Someone can have a large number on the scale but still be healthy and not fat at all

[Cherry234]

*BMI spectrum lol

[doopayo]

I agree, it’s unrealistic for short girls to be like 100 lbs in most cases. I used to weigh less than 100 lb before puberty but once I went threw puberty I gained 20 lb. I was really insecure because I believed I was fat even though literally no one ever called me that in my life, I developed body dysmorphia and an ed. This is the reality for most girls tbh not just short, because of unrealistic beauty standards.

[Lliam]

The average height for American women is 5'4", so I don't understand what point you are trying to make. Are all girls of average height going to wind up pudgy? And are all girls over 5'5" going to remain willowy?
You're bagging on men's tastes but, in doing so, you're deriding a lot of women.

I care about looks, not weight. But, hey, whatever you're into, dude.

[Cybermetal93]

The point I'm making is that most guys wouldn't be into short women if they are fat. They have to be a bones and ribs to be attractive

[Lliam]

Not true. I actually have a preference for short girls, but I don't like bony anorexics, adolescents, or even "athletic" builds with defined muscle. My ideal is the Playboy bunny bod. Slender, fit and flexible, but soft and curvy. Maybe 34", 23-24"", 34 with a 27" underboob measurement and 32C-D bra size. A butt that protrudes a bit from the curve of her spine and creases at the tops of her thighs with smooth, full, round cheeks. A flat stomach that has just a bit of padding.

I have no idea about weight or BMI.

[Roah_Boat]

I would actually prefer a woman over 5' 4". The appeal for shortness might have to do with a D/s dynamic common for men and women.

I also don't think it is unreasonable to want to be with a person who has a low BMI. The reason people gain weight when they grow up is mostly because of diet and lifestyle.

[Jlegacy]

My wife to be is at least 6 feet and I love her. I never knew I could love a tall girl until I fell for her.

[Anonymous]

I’m 5’7 or 1’70 I’m petite for 1’90 guys lol
Eventually a tall girls attracts tall guys by biology matters

[beautilife]

What's your opinion on short male?

[Cybermetal93]

Hate to break it to you but being petite is height and weight. It's under 5'4. Most guys don't know what that means but it's usually a woman weighing 110 lbs or less under 5'4

[lin123_]

i'm 5'1, 95 lbs and always been skinny. I don't gain weight like most women do

[CuriousMufuxka]

Well I apply to the 10% that like taller women and get a 50/50 ratio towards thumbs up or heated "disagreement"

[anylolone]

Not many men here only dig short women or skinny women.

[Anonymous]

There is soooo much nonsense in this question. Lmao

[Cybermetal93]

It's not nonsense. Would you be attracted to an obese short woman?

[Opinion Owner]

Attraction or aversion to obesity have zero to do with height. Your angle on all of this tells me you are either a tall woman or a short, fat one.

[Anonymous]

I don't mind what height a girl is. As long as she is sweet and kind and easy to talk to.

[Anonymous]

If you’re under 5”11 you’re a short guy yourself 💯

[Cybermetal93]

Cool so about 90% of guys are short.

[Opinion Owner]

I don’t like 5”4 women. I prefer them taller with a big phat ass

[Jamie05rhs]

You make a really great point, honestly.

[Twalli]

I don't care about her height

[Anonymous]

Yes, I agree! The metabolism slows down as we age.

[SamFromFL]

They are cute

[Cybermetal93]

That only applies to short women that aren't overweight, obese, ugly and otherwise are small sized,

[Cybermetal93]

Thats the point i was making

[SamFromFL]

It’s the same as girls saying they prefer taller guys. Obv they don’t mean obese or ugly tall guys.

[Cybermetal93]

But thats deceiving and tricks people that fit the preference thinking they'll be liked but they won't. Implying "X" trait is a certain way makes it as if someone is generalizing people of that trait and speaking for all of them. If a guy says he likes short women then that pretty much means that short women as a whole are to his liking but realistically a preference like this literally means short women that are "cute" facially and physically small, if a short woman isn't like this to certain guys then she isn't of his liking. With that in mind, that guy is a douchebag. If you like certain traits be specific about it instead of deceiving people. Women that like tall guys think some guys are too tall. Like wtf? Didn't you not say you like tall guys?

[SamFromFL]

It is what it is. People don’t like others who are unattractive. That’s too obv to need specifying
