Most women prefer tall men

Yes, they definitely do want tall men. They do NOT prefer short or useless men. It falls in three different levels, though.

Their IDEAL man, is at least, six feet (183 cm) or taller, if not taller than that. That is what they 100% want in male height.

However, some women are willing to reluctantly compromise, and will be with a short guy who is taller than her, even if it's not what she finds attractive, as long as he has several inches on her. For example, a typical 5'6"/167 cm woman will reluctantly choose a 5'10"/178 cm guy, even if he's not what she finds attractive, because "at least he's still taller" and she "can still wear heels around him."

The third point is where the guy is 100% unacceptable to her. And that is usually "same height or shorter than her." She may not want the short guy who's taller than her, but she will always reject the guy who is shorter than her. That is a complete and total dealbreaker for most straight women on the planet. Statistically only 4% of straight women would be with a guy same height or shorter.

96% of straight women want a tall man. As opposed to 88% of men wanting a shorter woman.

Here's the TL;DR version in chart form.

Height isn't everything for a woman, ego/self-pride matters most above all else in a man. But for women, if a guy isn't at least four inches taller, it's pretty much a dealbreaker for her. (And my short, f*cking midget-ass at 1.8m, have given up even attempting to find someone to date, because of it. This, among other reasons.)

Tall men look more masculine, and have good genes, yes most women prefer tall men.

Not much of an issue for me. I’m barely over 5’ tall. I don’t know what your definition of tall is but just about anyone is tall to me. Therefore, I don’t much take notice in my partner’s height. My fiancé @the_koala is 5’11” and that seems super tall to me. We make it work.

If he were shorter, it wouldn’t matter to me. I love him for who he is and not his height. When I decided to date him, height was the last thing on my mind. It was his personality that I was attracted to. Sure, I am physically attracted to him for sure, but the personality won me over.

Height, much like penis size, is overrated and talked about way too much. Guys need to focus on the qualities that matter most to girls.

Fixating on all these measurements is a waste of time. No matter how many times I say it, the guys just don’t listen. Maybe you’ll be the first. Stranger things have happened.

I would say that most women prefer to be in a relation with men that offer more than just the altitude above ground.

A height does not say about that person's

- Character
- Intellect
- Personality
- Charisma
- Humor
- Open mind
- Being respectful
- Lack of selfishness
- Altruism
- Honesty
- Positive thinking
- Humility
- Generosity
- Simplicity
- Kindness
- Truthfulness
- Smartness
- Empathy
- Positive attitude
- Assertiveness
- Body hygiene

Let me stop here. A tall guy may be a total jerk, a red flag and a toxic person. I would go anytime for a short and chubby person that combines all the important features that I mentioned above and that are essential in a partner.

I really do not care about a 6.3' man that is toxic.

Height really and truly isn't everything for a woman. I'm pretty sure I can vouch for a lot of us that we would most certainly go for the shorter guy that treats us right and makes us feel what we want to feel over a tall guy that just gives us problems.

Yes, on a superficial level girls like to say tall but when it really comes down to being in a relationship with someone, it's so much more than that. (What a win if you do find a tall guy that's more than just aesthetics though)

[MCheetah]

@MoniqueTLC
And *I* can personally vouch for most of us short men that most women certainly do NOT choose the 5'9" guy that treats women right and makes them feel what they want over the 6'3" guy that treats women badly and gives them plenty of problems.

Just look at the female posts in the Relationship portion of GAG to see all these women whining about the tall, perfect-looking Chads they ONLY ever choose, treating them badly, as if it's some kind of surprise or something. Women choose bad men who are tall and could get any woman they wanted; then complain when those men don't treat these women like goddesses and actually cheat on or abuse them, and then expect sympathy for it, as if these women didn't reject 80 good men who happen to be 5'10" over that one 6'3" guy they're now complaining about.

And then some women wonder why short men are "so bitter..."

@MCheetah I hear you, 100%

Do most guys prefer skinny women? I'm sure most women would say "yes" to this. But if that were true then there wouldn't be very many husky women with guys. Society does have universal views is what is deemed "attractive", yes absolutely. But JUST being attractive is not the entire ballgame.

[Avicenna]

It would be more accurate to say most women prefer men taller than them. I think most women are realistic enough to realize that not all of them can have a guy who's taller than average.

[DizzyDesii]

Most? Probably. I prefer he be 5’7-6’2. 6’4+ is too tall. 5’5 is not tall enough

[Midgetmcwidget]

To be honest I’m below average height so most are taller

[Guy13]

Yes they do. 5’11-6’5. Girl height plus 5 inch heel

[FunkyMonkee]

Couldn't prove it by me!! I'm quite tall and haven't had ANY love or sex in 27 years!!

[kataang]

Your average woman prefers average and tall men.

[Ms_Facesitter]

'-er'
A lot of women prefer tallER men, taller than them.

[MCheetah]

Yeah, and that means "six feet and above" because women say that including their height in five-inch platform heels, because their shoes are more important than a man.

[Ms_Facesitter]

@MCheetah No it doesn't :(

[ThomasDavid1989]

Women tend to prefer tall men. But not always

[ElianaSchechter]

I love tall men! So hot and dominant - I need a real man, not some sissy manlet...

[Petedavidsonfan]

Tall guys are definitely hot in my opinion.

[JohnK123]

Probably
