Do short girls like short guys or they still want a guy 6ft?

[Anonymous]

I'm a guy who is little bit shorter than average like 5'7. I have seen a lot of women (short, average, tall) fantasize about a 6ft guy. I know a lot of women want to feel small compared to the guy. But can't muscles compensate for that? I just feel like I'm stuck in this situation and it will be really hard to find someone who will find me likeable. I like working out and stay fit as well but doesn't seem like it would help.

[MCheetah]

No.

You see, short girls (5'6" and under) are not only the most common type of women, but also the type of women tall guys (6'1" and over) like the most. They're not desired merely for being short; they're just way more common than tall girls (5'9" and over).

Tall girls tend to be almost just as picky as short girls, but not as much. Because girls 5'9" and over tend to be slightly less desirable to tall guys (still desirable, but not *as much*). So tall girls are more willing to date "an inch or two shorter" than short girls are. Also, it's more common for a guy to only be like, 5'11" than it is for a guy to be 6'3" or 5'7". So a 5'10" girl might be willing to compromise with a shrimpy guy like that than a 5'2" girl, who'd demand "over six feet" more than the tall girl will. Because she's "higher value" (in her mind, at least) being short, and because the tall men she likes are more likely to go for the tiny 5'2" girl than the 5'10" one.

In other words, the height of the girl doesn't matter. Short girls want tall guys as much as tall girls want tall guys.

"... die alone."

Ask @Passion_Devil, @JosyJosy, and @kiki18 though. I'm just a 180 cm shrimp, so what do I know? Most women I've dated were taller than me barefoot.

[Passion_Devil]

180 cm, mr Cheetah, is tall. Calling that short is so strange to me.

[kiki18]

@Passion_Devil says it all

[Passion_Devil]

If only you would believe us and not treat this view of ours as an exception, because it really isn't.

[MCheetah]

@Passion_Devil
It is an exception when no other women think like that.
THESE don't come out of nowhere.

[Passion_Devil]

Many others think like us 😔

[Passion_Devil]

But you mainly seem to acknowledge and live by those who do not.

Girls tend to prefer tall guys, can muscles compensate for that? sometimes but not fully.

I don’t know what’s considered short because it varies from person to person.


However, yes, as a short girl, I don’t mind short guys. It just depends though. I like wearing heeled shoes at times and I don’t want to be a handful of inches taller than my partner in heels, so I would at least prefer if they were a few inches taller than me


I am 5’2… I am short. I’ve dated a guy who was 5’5, it was perfectly fine with me. I’m currently dating a guy who is 5’8. Sure, muscles could compensate for height, but it’s kinda known that having big bulky muscles can make you look shorter. But, I guess scrawny and short is worse than buff and short? I don’t know🤷🏻‍♀️

[Asker]

What would you recommend?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Recommend what? Not much else you can do.

I personally think it’s more attractive to be fit with muscles and “short” than be skinny and “short.”

[Lowiu]

Like I like guys taller than me and like 2 inches at least so I can also wear some heels without being a lot taller I'm 5"6 so my limit qould be like 5"8

[Asker]

What about 5'7?

[Lowiu]

Would probably still work out too

[JosyJosy]

sigh.. some will want a 6ft guy. Some say that but that'd be in an ideal world, our partners aren't perfect. I personally prefer someone my height. Some short girls prefer someone who is just a bit taller than them, and since they're already short, so you don't have to be in the NBA

[lrina]

i'm 5'0, so pretty short. but when i'd like to start dating, i'd prefer a relatively short guy as long as he's not shorter than me lol. i'm not really into tall guys tbh.

[Slartybartfast]

Remember, there are way more women under 100 pounds in the world then men over 6' tall.

Expecting a women to be under 100 pounds is far more realistic then demanding a man be over 6' tall.

[MCheetah]

But aren't you like, 6'5"?

[Slartybartfast]

@MCheetah Nah I'm only 6'2" (around here about average) In fact I was the shortest guy in highschool.

[MCheetah]

@slartybartfast
So was I, but I'd still say 6'2" is the low-end of tall. I'm three inches shorter than you and a f*ckton of women are my height or taller. Being the shortest guy SUCKS, but being same height or shorter than so many women is beyond depressing.

[Slartybartfast]

@MCheetah Like I said before, height is relative, around here I'm often the short guy in the room. My prom date was 6'3" my ex wife is 5'10"

[MCheetah]

I know, but I'm just saying, it kinda defeats your own point that being six feet tall is rare. Hell, I'm from the northeast US and pretty much every white or black man there was no shorter than six feet. Most of the women there were 5'6" without heels and my height in heels.

Where are you from again? Remind my midget-ass not to go there.

[Browneye57]

Some do, some don't, so what.
Focus on the girls that respond well, in kind, have interest. You cannot negotiate attraction and desire.

[Anonymous]

Look around this site some more and you'll see, most women want tall guys anyway, but especially short women lol.

[scott04sa22]

Everybody is different. Some girls wants men who doesn’t exist

[OddBeMe]

I think everyone has their preferences. Younger, less experienced people will obvi be more shallow than more mature daters.

[JamesRandiDebates]

All bitches want guys over 6' tall. Even midget bitches

[bigpauly]

Different girls have different taste. Regardless of their height.

[UniquelyBasic]

didn't you ask this already?

[Asker]

I want to know from different perspective. The question was pretty different.

[UniquelyBasic]

Oh ok then

Only 5% of American men are over 6ft.
