Of course, it's fact.

Look at this poll from just the other day!

Are "short or average height men" a complete turn off?

Are "short or average-height men" a complete turn-off?
Voted 77 times in total
61 Girls 16 Guys

Yes! %48
33 Girls (54%)
4 Guys (25%)

Depends on my height %11
6 Girls (10%)
2 Guys (13%)

Not turn off! I just don't like it. %14
10 Girls (16%)
1 Guys (6%)

No! %27
12 Girls (20%)
9 Guys (56%)
===============

So, out of the 61 girls who voted, 33 said "Yes, it's a complete turn-off" and another 10 said "Not turn off! I just don't like it."

So, that's 43 women out of 61 are saying definitively that they prefer tall men.

That's 43/61 = 0.70492 or about 70.5%.

More than 2 out of every 3 women prefer tall men.

Numbers don't lie.

“Women” on GAG don’t represent the feelings of all women in the world! And it being the internet and this being one site where you can’t guarantee that there’s really a “woman” behind that pink account, I’d take those results with a grain of salt…. Redo the math with the percentage of women that answered that poll with the percentage of women in the world and 63 becomes a very small number

I know that.
This is a statistical assertion, not a universal one.
After all, the original question is "Most women prefer tall men, fact or myth?"
The operative word is "Most" and the statistics from the previous poll illustrate that it is true that "Most women prefer tall men.".

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

61 women don’t represent most women though do they. You’d have to ask every woman in the whole world and if 75+%said it mattered, then most would apply here, and again you don’t know for a fact that all those women that answered that poll were ACTUALLY WOMEN… there have been times when fits and girls create a fake account under the opposite gender. Like the person that was creating multiple fake accounts both blue and pink to try to prove all women are secretly bi-sexual🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*giys

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

OMG guys🤦🏼‍♀️ and again 61 women is nothing when representing most women hell there’s that many women just at my job alone and the ones who’s boyfriends/ husbands work there they’re not 6 feet or taller, so I go by those real life facts over internet supposed facts

[FreyaRed]

If part of girls on G@G are boys (I assume it as well).
- How many of those guys who pretend to be girls are short and how many are tall and how they voted?
- Is for a short guy who pretends to be a girl more beneficial to complain and to blame girl's tall boy preference?
- Is for a short guy who pretends to be a girl more beneficial to propagate propaganda about girls don't have any tall boy preference?
- What option is beneficial for tall guys who pretend to be girls?
- How many real girls give honest reply? lol
...
...
Numbers can lie.

"You’d have to ask every woman in the whole world"
No, you don't.
You have to ask a statistically meaningful population.

You wrote:

How are you to judge that?
(There ARE statistical ways to do that.)
However, the population HERE is probably not representative of women as a whole since it skews heavily young.
However, again, that's really the relevant population since this question (*) is geared toward desires in mating partners and that's a young person's game. This means that the population here is closer to the relevant demographic than women overall.

(*) This question is:
"Most women prefer tall men, fact or myth?"
and the asker is male, "30-35". He is interested in women for mating purposes. He doesn't have a significant interest in females more than +/- 15 to 20 years from his age. The bulk of the female population here is in that complementary age group. Thus, while not a perfect sampling, definitely, 61 females in that age group is a fairly representative population.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@FreyaRed exactly!!

[abc3643]

@FreyaRed
This is a good point.
But how do you track who's fake and who is not?

So, another alternative is to look at other polls.

How Tall Is The Perfect Man?
What’s the ideal height for men? Okay, sure, we know that looks don’t define what makes a guy the perfect boyfriend. But we aren’t talking about reality here. We’re talking in our dreams … the guy we imagine in our head when we are reading the latest romance novel. So when it comes to a woman’s fantasy, just how tall is the perfect man?

To find the answer to that question, we need to look no further than Amazon. No, you can’t buy a boyfriend at Amazon (just yet), but you can find the kind of guy women are into based on their reading habits.

...
How tall is the perfect man?
The average height of a man in romance novels is 6 feet 3 inches tall. We found that 95% of book boyfriends are 6 feet or taller. Not every book listed a man’s specific characteristics, but for those books that did, we found that the answer is clear, women prefer a tall man with dark hair and dark eyes.

Here's another in a scientific, peer-reviewed journal.

JOURNAL: Personality and Individual Differences
Volume 54, Issue 8, June 2013, Pages 877-883

TITLE: Women want taller men more than men want shorter women

ABSTRACT
Physical characteristics, such as height, play an important role in human mate preferences. Satisfaction with one’s own height and one’s partner height seem likely to be related to these preferences. Using a student sample (N = 650), we show that women are not only more selective, but also more consistent, than men, in their partner height preferences. Women prefer, on average, a larger height difference between themselves and their partner (i. e. males being much taller than themselves) than men do. This effect is even more pronounced when examining satisfaction with actual partner height: women are most satisfied when their partner was 21 cm taller, whereas men are most satisfied when they were 8 cm taller than their partner. Next, using data from our sample and that of a previously published study (N = 52,677), we show that for men, height is more important to the expression of satisfaction with one’s own height than it is for women. Furthermore, slightly above average height women and tall men are most satisfied with their heights. We conclude that satisfaction with one’s own height is at least partly a consequence of the height preference of the opposite sex and satisfaction with one’s partner height.

This chart from the article summarizes what they found:



The X-axis is the person's height.
The Y-axis is the height of that person's preferred-opposite sex partner.
This chart spans from 150 cm to 205 cm on both axes.

From the DISCUSSION section of the journal paper:

We further extended previous research by showing that women were more restrictive with respect to the preferred stature of their partner than men were, and more generally that women placed a greater value on their partner’s height than men do. First, women displayed less variation across all the measures of partner preference that we investigated compared to men, suggesting that among women there is greater consensus with respect to preferred partner height than among men. Second, women were much more restrictive in their range of acceptable heights compared to men. That is, women were more likely to rule out certain heights as completely unacceptable. The notion that women are more selective in terms of partner height is also supported by the finding that partner height explained substantially more variance in satisfaction with partner height for women than men. Women were found to report more satisfaction when they were partnered with taller rather than shorter men. No such effects were observed in men, suggesting that their partner’s height was less important to them.

Given that women place more value on partner height than men do, it is not surprising that we also found, using data from two samples, that height was much more important in explaining satisfaction with one’s own height for men than for women. Furthermore, men who were taller than average reported the highest level of satisfaction with their own height, whereas shorter men reported the least amount of satisfaction. The finding that shorter men were least satisfied with their height can be understood from our findings on mate preferences: women preferred greater height differences and were most satisfied with their partner’s height when he was tall.

[abc3643]

The smoking guns in the discussion:

"Women were found to report more satisfaction when they were partnered with taller rather than shorter men."

"The finding that shorter men were least satisfied with their height can be understood from our findings on mate preferences: women preferred greater height differences and were most satisfied with their partner’s height when he was tall."

So, there you go @asker:

Q: Most women prefer tall men, fact or myth?
A: Fact

[Anonymous]

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as individual preferences can vary widely. However, research has shown that many women do tend to prefer men who are taller than them. This preference may be influenced by a variety of factors, including societal and cultural norms, personal experiences, and biological factors.

It's important to remember that individual preferences are just that - individual. While some women may prioritize height in a partner, many others may prioritize other qualities, such as kindness, humor, intelligence, or shared values and interests.

Ultimately, building a healthy and fulfilling relationship requires more than just physical attraction or a specific set of traits. It requires mutual respect, communication, and a willingness to grow and learn together. By prioritizing these values, both men and women can find partners who are truly compatible and fulfilling.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Most women prefer tall men- myth

there are women out there that prefer a tall man- fact

most women don’t give a shit either way, you could say myth because there’s some where it does matter but it’s also a fact that there’s some women that don’t give a crap either way.

I’ve seen and also known short guys that had no problem getting women.
Hell, the first boy my daughter liked/had a crush on was shorter than her and she was certainly not the only girl that liked him.

That’s why people need to stop thinking everything can be lumped into one camp or the other solely based off one’s gender…

[RandomGuy1030]

... when an old lady has to swear to seem more honest...

Height is the number1 turn on

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 because I said shit or hell 😂 yeah okay lol
And just because you say height is a turn on, doesn’t make it true… Personally speaking for myself (as should EVERYONE because what turns you on doesn’t mean turns everyone on) I’m more turned on by a man’ with muscles or a man with a great mind or a great sense of humor so no height is not the number one turn on for everyone or even for all or most women. Maybe if people listened more to what attracts people individually than go off what they @think “ they know by gender assumption maybe more pale works have less issues finding someone🤷‍♀️
Oh and just maybe an “old lady” who’s speaking from experience than an 18 year old getting his information from the internet is better informed by truth than myth 😁

[RandomGuy1030]

Stop ranting please. Distill that shit down to 1 or 2 sentences and I'll read it

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 ranting? 🤣 again okay sure, oh and I saw you swore, so you can swear cuz you’re younger, please grow up lol

[RandomGuy1030]

I'm not younger, I'm young and you're old. And I've seen plenty of women say height is better than muscle. If you look 6'5 in a photo it's a million times hotter than if you're just 5'9 (average)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 again just you saying that doesn’t make that truth for how everyone feels. And yes tore young, means you might not know as much as you THINK you do. If you think calling me old bothers me, it doesn’t. Means I have more life experiences than you do which is what I base my information on, not internet info that’s not always the truth…advice from an old lady. Don’t rely on what’s said on the internet, go by real life. Look around more when you go out and really look at the couples you see.

[RandomGuy1030]

I told you I'm not reading your rants, they aren't entertaining. I personally know how attractive height is because I'm 6'5

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 good for you. That don’t mean all women are going to be attracted to you. Attitude trumps height for some people.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@randomguy1030 and then so get off my thread, no one forcing you to reply 🤷‍♀️😁

[RandomGuy1030]

I'm replying because I want to. I don't care what old women like. Young women like big d.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 🤣 you think shorter guys can’t have big dicks? But this was about height not Penis size and the two don’t always go hand in hand. Biggest one I ever seen and it was big big the guy was an inch shorter than me, so guess that blows your theory 😁

[RandomGuy1030]

My grandpa was 5'5 and had a huge ding dong himself. You're educating no one

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 okay then so you’re not making any sense with your replies..
Also proving height isn’t the most important thing or you wouldn’t be here right? Tour grandpa was 5’5” and he was able to get a lady, right🤷‍♀️

[RandomGuy1030]

She cheated on him and she was very religious. That tells you everything you need to know. Luckily he didn't give a fuck, never even mentioned that the kid looked nothing like a white person

[RandomGuy1030]

He was a ww2 combat veteran, he was hard as fuck, he knew life could end at any moment and some bitch you married fucking a dude means very little in the grand scheme of tjings

[Lliam]

@RandomGuy1030. You are such an ignorant little child. A pussy assed punk. I'm sure that girls find you repellent. Eat a bag of dicks.

[RandomGuy1030]

@Lliam act your age

[Lliam]

@RandomGuy1030. Grow up. You barely graduated from high school. What do you know?

[RandomGuy1030]

@Lliam i know my self and I'm a well crafted machine that has taken hundreds of thousands of years to evolve

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Lliam hey stranger😁 hope all is well with you and the wife (cuz of I’m old makes you old too😂) but eh don’t pay him any mind lol I’ll admit it was amusing at first cuz yeah he don’t get it, but eh🤷‍♀️

[RandomGuy1030]

Of course I'm amusing, that's my goal. Low iq female.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 you know it’s the less intelligent person with no valid point to make that resorts to insults right?😁 and yes amusing because you’re too young to get that internet insults aren’t as effective as people think they are. More in trying to make me look or feel bad you’re just making yourself look bad, hence the other users comments. But hey, by all means carry on😁

[RandomGuy1030]

They are effective on boomers

[Lliam]

What a twerp.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Lliam 🤣🤣

[Friendlybro79]

@Brainsbeforebeauty You are spot on. So many people here have that because I think means I know 100% Unfortunately people don't value real answers they just want their feelings validated.

[Friendlybro79]

I should say some people or I'm a hypocrite lol. I forgot to type that haha

[RandomGuy1030]

@Friendlybro79 Are "short or average height men" a complete turn off? ↗

[Friendlybro79]

@RandomGuy1030 You do know that's a poll of roughly 100 people here right? Look for a real poll done by a real research group. Hell I'm not even saying it won't show it to be true. Sourcing an poll on gag is really not proving anything.

[RandomGuy1030]

@Friendlybro79 100 people is a valid poll

[Friendlybro79]

@RandomGuy1030 Ok

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Friendlybro79 he just wants to argue with people and that’s fine but the insults that’s where I’m going to start removing… one thing when he was trying to insult me but then insulting the other user… that’s just🤷‍♀️ people on this site should learn how to have conversation without insults

[RandomGuy1030]

The fact you're pissed off means I win

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 I’m not passed off🤣 don’t have to be pissed off to remove your insults to other users on my thread now do I😁 what’s to get pissed of about? I don’t have an issue if people views differ… You do that’s why you had to resort to insults in the first place right😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 and won? What did you win? Troll of the day award 🥇 😁

[RandomGuy1030]

You have no brains nor beauty

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@RandomGuy1030 🤣🤣 don’t you have homework to do or something😁 Nighty night young man 😊

[Lliam]

@Brainsbeforebeauty. He's not even a young man. He's still a little boy living with his parents who obviously did a bad job at raising him. Trolling on his phone and playing with his micro penis are his pastimes.

[serious]

@Lliam

What you said in the end was true indeed.

[serious]

@Brainsbeforebeauty

Not only him, there are lot of users here on this site who speak nonsense in the name of freedom of speech. They are here just to trigger other users to get a reaction so that they can argue, such people are here to just satisfy their ego. They don't have any useful statement or comments/advice or suggestions to give. They will resorts to insults and swear words also.

It is just a waste of our time to interact with them in any way. It is best to just delete their replies/comments if it gets beyond the limit of tolerance. That's what I always do.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@serious I usually leave them so others can see how ridiculous they’re being. I did delete one of his comments but that was directed at another user. These young people think calling someone old or a boomer is really gonna get to someone, I just laugh my ass off. I call myself old every day lol and I know better than to feed the trolls but sometimes it’s entertaining🤣 but seriously though sometimes it also makes me feel bad for the younger generation. Social media is not doing them any service. Hope what I’m saying makes sense, just woke up and not fully caffeinated yet lol

[serious]

@Brainsbeforebeauty

I do understand and yes of course deleting or not is a subjective choice and it depends on the situation and what the user has said.

I was just making a point.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@serious I know and thank you 🙂

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

From my experience, taller girls are more open-minded about height.

Shorter girls already have height insecurities and they prefer someone taller by their sides.

Taller girls on the other hand, didn’t have to deal with it, so they don’t care about height that much.

I do like taller guys, because I am really small, 5 ft 3 and I guess when there’s a tall guy, it gives me a sense of security.

My friend though is taller, she’s 173 cm and she has dated guys who are 168-173 cm. She pays more attention to other things because she doesn’t feel insecure about her own height.

[SoIcyGang]

What does height insecurities mean for a woman?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@SoIcyGang I don’t think it’s anything conscious. I am going to just share some theories I have on this topic. Might not be true, might not be something lots of women realize, but I think there’s a logic behind it.

It’s just when you are much smaller than everyone around, I guess most women unconsciously don’t feel very safe about that and that’s why they go for the taller guys. Because in their mind, the size and frame of bigger guys seems intimidating and who can better protect you from other intimidating men - than one of their own.

That’s something silly, since there are lots of short and very strong guys I know. But I think that is evolutionary ingrained in the female mind, making taller guys more attractive for the shorter girls.

I am not saying that’s fair, or makes sense or I don’t justify it, It’s just what it is.

[SoIcyGang]

That's what I figured. I guess I wouldn't have guessed that smaller girls feel extra vulnerable. To me, you're all equally vulnerable. That makes me sound like a predator, lol.

Really, ultimately on so many topics, the question comes down to biology vs social constructionism.

I really gotta learn about that because I've wanted to know for so long.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@SoIcyGang Yep, I am interested in evolution and Biology.

That’s why I have some insights on this topic.

My ex fiance was much taller than me, he was 6 ft 2 and it really made me feel very happy to be next to him. I never knew where that happiness came from, but I think that partially came from the knowledge that he was very strong, had very broad shoulders and was so much taller than me and that I had no worries at all.

Before meeting him, I slept with knife next to my bed, after meeting him, I had the best and the most peaceful sleeps ever. That must have been because unconsciously I felt safe.

[SoIcyGang]

I also have theories. I totally understand you. You're like the first person I've come across who is thinking like I am.

At the same time, I recognize that there is an academic level to the question of nature vs nurture.

So at the moment I kind of have my theories on hold.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@SoIcyGang It’s like the more scary the world seems to her, the more she likes taller guys.

And I can understand men’s disappointment about this, but can you blame a woman for being scared and for wanting to be protected?

Would be interesting to hear about your theories, I am really so much into evolutionary psychology!

[SoIcyGang]

I'll share it in a pm if you want. People on here would not like what I think lol. They're not ready and they're annoying and angry ragers so I'd like to just avoid all that.

[TommyWiseau69]

A woman thats 5'3 is not "really small" lol. Thats literally a little bit below average height or even above average height in countries. Taller women are more open minded about height because they're smarter and know that if they only go for tall guys they'll remain single longer and don't place value in height as much. I don't think any guy would want to be with a woman that has insecurities and baggage so sucks for them. Its funny because sometimes short women are insecure with their height, yet when they are with a guy much bigger than them they will look and feel even shorter. It makes no sense lol. I'm a short guy myself and idc if women don't like my height. At least when I find one I can at least look at her straight in the eyes. I'll probably also be with a woman that doesn't place that much stock into my height but more who I am as a person which is better. Even if I was a tall guy there's no way in hell I would want a woman drastically shorter than me.

[rupam_das]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 if we look after as a negetive senario, tall men can easily overpower women, because they are generally stronger than short people. First off all being protected and secure doen't proposonal to men's height and its not evolutionary psychology too. The only reason women think positive & fall for tall men is the "Halo effect/error"
If you don't know what that mean just checkout wikipedia,

Men also can be trapped into halo errors,

[rupam_das]

https://youtu.be/UEho_4ejkNw

Here is a liitle video about what "halo effect" is, but i recommend wikipedia

[Summeroflove]

This really depends on the woman. If you’re shorter or tall for that matter and a woman isn’t into you. It’s not meant to be.

Doesn’t mean no women are.

[Guy13]

The great majority of woman like a guy that she can wear 4 inch heels and still slightly lift their up when kissing.

[OlderAndWiser]

Most women prefer men taller than themselves.

[SoIcyGang]

I think women like confidence and the way society is set up, tall men get the confidence for free and short men have to work through complexes and some may never escape short man syndrome.

Women might be down to date short guys but since most have a short guy syndrome they are undatable.

And the same principle applies to any may who has some supposed flaw. Women don't care. But they care that you're fucked up about that flaw.

It makes you dangerous. Dudes will flip a shit and beat a woman to death over his receding hairline.

Either that or you're constantly projecting your insecurity into everything. Nobody wants to be with that person.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Great answer!!

[Lliam]

I agree with BBB. This answer was very insightful and well written. I think it's spot on true.

[xJeremyx]

Its a fact. But its not something to be insecure about. Insecurity gets you nowhere. We gotta work our best with what we are given and if other people are unable to accept us because of physical limitations, then so be it. there's plenty fish in the ocean. If you really got shortchanged in the height department, its high time to work on yourself as a person. The ladies would much rather have themselves a shorter man with a great personality and character than some tall guy who does not really capture much attention other than the fact that he be tall.

Confidence! It is attractive.

Cheers!

[Nikki1989]

100% myth, but men will push that lie till the day they die.

[Rebel-Angel]

it's not 100% I personally prefer tall men.

[Asker]

Dude you’re 13, like your opinion matters. This topic is for adults

[Varanus]

Generally true, but it's not that big a deal for most of us. Like a lot of other traits, for a few people it's really important, for most it's nice-to-have, some don't care, and a few prefer the opposite.

You don't have to check every box for every person, but hyper-focusing on the ways you feel inadequate is seriously unattractive. The quiet confidence of someone with nothing to prove is hot.

[NewYorkCity]

Just look at a 6000+ year old history and you would come to an inevitable conclusion, it is a 100% FACT. Taller guy means feeling more safe and him having a Bigger UPS package. and ALL girls even though they say otherwise want a guy with who has a Fedex+ package.

[Asker]

More women checked the taller box. 💯 fact height matters

[Twalli]

Height has no correlation to dick size.

[Anonymous]

Honestly being taller does make a guy more attractive. It's not that shorter guys are not attractive too, but taller is a little better. It's kind of like breast size for women. A woman can still be beautiful with small breasts, but bigger ones make her more desirable. Does that make sense?

[Asker]

I’m tall and dark and I have two fine Latin girls at my job who are attracted. I do have Latin my blood as well but I’m tall, very tall actually. 6”5 I don't know if they’d feel the same way if I were 5”8 😆

[Summeroflove]

No it doesn’t. Huge breasts are not really attractive to all guys.

[Asker]

Yeah bro I do like breast but I’m more of an ass guy.

[NewYorkCity]

It does and thank you for being honest and understanding true human nature and their desires.

[Opinion Owner]

@Summeroflove Who said anything about huge breasts?

[Twalli]

That's not true. 25% prefer smaller boobs and 25% prefer larger boobs. 50% prefer average-sized boobs.

[menina]

I would say it's a fact. Of course, there are women who don't care about a man's height, but I've seen many women saying that they prefer tall men.

To be honest, I used to be very strict about it, but now I'm trying to be more flexible.

[Anemone978]

I personally like a guy to be 6' but if he is a bit under I honestly don't care. I just want him to be taller than me I really would never want to be looking down at my lover lol
Taller than 6' guys are cool but there is no need to date a giant either...

[EmmaMary]

Being 5' 10" I definitely wanted a man I could look up to... Fortunately my husband happened to be 6' 3" and was looking for a woman he could look down to in offering the feeling of being safe and secure... So a definite win win all round.

[Leopard23]

I find that women in general prefer a man that's taller than average. 6ft seems to be the magic number. Even with women that are super short. It's kind of like a status symbol, other women want 6ft +guys so they do too. It gets more of a prevalent trend for women when you go to big cities like new yourk or L. A.

[JustinTheGreat]

Fact. I think most women do like men to be taller to them.
but the idea that all women have strict restrictions and only want a man who’s 6’0+ is false.
If a woman is 5’4, then she’d probably be happy with a man who is 5’7. Which is average/short for men. So I wouldn’t say women have unrealistic expectations.

[Berethor]

Pretty much a fact, tall men look more masculine, and women wants to have tall children.

[LivDev]

I think most of us prefer guys taller than us at least. It doesn't necessarily have to be over 6'. Just taller.

For me, at 5'3, a guy shorter than me doesn't even register as a guy :T

According to the internet it's pretty close to a coin flip. 48% to 55%. Now it's up to you whether you believe the internet data as being accurate. But as a guy who's 6'5" let me just say it's never been much help for me.😂

I'll just say this if you're over 6 feet it's probably an asset. Like being thin or having curves for a woman. But it isn't going to make or break you.

[Asker]

A woman with curves is definitely winning no doubt

[Opinion Owner]

I'm attracted to both so I don't agree with that. I wish I could tell you fully what I find attractive in a woman. I'll never understand people with "types".

[Asker]

For some reason most women who are interested in me have big booty. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I guess they feel I could treat that booty right. 😉

[Opinion Owner]

Could be an anomaly. Or it could be you just act differently around those women without knowing it.
As I said i' 6'5". I don't have a height preference. But for some reason I seem to attract more women under 5'5" than over.

[Potteplante]

I don't care how tall my partner is, my late fiance was half a head shorter than I. but I notice with a lot of shorter men (not all of them) is that they've transferred their insecurities of being short on me.

[RandomGuy1030]

It's important. But less important than being rich and being fit

[Asker]

Yep I think looks matter more than personality. I know unattractive guys with great personality but they can’t get a beautiful woman to look their way

[RandomGuy1030]

Why exactly should a beautiful woman look their way. Wouldn't it make more sense for an unattractive woman with a good personality to be interested

[Nikki1989]

LMAO. Keep thinking that if you wish. OMG!

[RandomGuy1030]

@Nikki1989 who are you talking to

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Less important? But didn’t you on my thread say height is the number one turn on? But your answer here contradicts that🤣

[RandomGuy1030]

@Brainsbeforebeauty no it doesn't. All it means is if you don't have money you won't get a shot anyway

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Okay I can’t listen to anymore of your bs assumptions you try to portray as truths. So according to you only guys 6ft and above it rich guys can get women. That is so untrue but I’ll leave you to your delusions

[RandomGuy1030]

@Brainsbeforebeauty I didn't say that. I said it's the most attractive type of man. Being 6'5 is like owning a sports car, it gets you attention and some respect before you say or do anything

[Ladybell22]

I think we just prefer they be a bit taller then us

[Summeroflove]

You say “we” as if you speak for all women. Speak for yourself. Nothing wrong with liking what you like.

Not all women are the same. Some women care more then others. Some even like shorter guys.

Really I think it’s cringe when this is all people obsess over is height.

[Anonymous]

Not everybody is going to be the succesful at eveything, some people born with advantages, and yes being tall is the advantage for men, it's fact.

Tell you what there are some other activities as well, like who cares other likings?
Always running after women, women women...😒

Get out from this and explore the world, you'll learn a lot. Best wishes!!!

[KC1545]

Me personally I’m 5’2 and I like men that are 5’7-6’1 but tbh most girls I know generally like guys that are 5’11.

[TommyWiseau69]

Wow the four heights of 6'1 - 6'5 is more chosen than the entire range of men 6'0 and under. I guess women really do like tall men that much

[JustMeL120]

Myth not all women prefer a tall man. I love short men as long as the guy is smart well spoken and kind.

[suzzieQ]

Most men who are in relationships are under 6 ft, and most women in relationships with men under 6 ft... so there ya go.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm well over 6' tall and, so far, I've only had 3 women! And I've been alone for the past 22 years!!

[Asker]

So you haven’t had a lady in 22 years?

[FunkyMonkee]

Correct! If they're so much into tall guys, why have I been alone most of my life? If you smooshed all my sexual years together, I'd end up with a total of just over 4 years.

[Twalli]

How actively are you searching, and what else other than height can you offer?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Twalli I've BEEN searching most of my life!! as of about 3 years ago, I haven't really had the chance to go hunting but, that's still 20 years of being alone after Madame Ex started cheating on me!
Intelligence, kindness, loyalty, love, a great sense of humour, concern, compassion and I can toot a tune or two, too!

[Twalli]

Maybe you're looking in the wrong places. I have the same as you DC o minus musical skill, but a wealthy family. I am also almost a foot shorter than you. Family wealth didn't really factor into it in highschool because all my classmates were too.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Twalli I have LOADS of musical skills! I was in a band for 25 years and we were working on our third album when we broke up. I've done one solo album and, if my ex sisters would've let me the fuck alone after mom died, I'd have a second solo album, by now!! And, I've been collecting records since I was two and have over 60,000 of them.

[Kay-C]

I am 5'7" and prefer a guy who I can wear 4" heels somewhere with and still look up at. Definitely taller

[genericname85]

let's say it like that: if a woman gets a chouice between two men that are 100% the same except for their hight. they'd always go for the taller one.

[KrakenAttackin]

It's hard to dispute women prefer taller men, which is fine. Men can have their preferences as well. The difference is women often use shaming language when men have preferences, while women feel free to shame men on almost anything.

[welcomemen]

I think they just prefer men taller than themself. Not all women want a man that is 6’5 feet tall.

[msc545]

Of course, women prefer taller men, but here they will deny it.

[jshm2]

Most women are Chinese and very few Chinese men are over 5 feet and a bit.

[Anonymous]

Girls just want a guy she can feel safe with, and not like she has to protect him lol

[Friendlybro79]

Ask a better question. What do you mean most. 51 percent 75% 90% 99% Also how tall they are might depend on where we are talking about.

[TacosRAwesome]

Most women prefer men that's a bit taller than them but not necessarily tall by generic standards.

[OddBeMe]

I think they prefer it…like we prefer big boobs. But find the right guy and height goes out the window.

[Twalli]

Actually, only 25% of men prefer big boobs.

[Asker]

I prefer big butts don’t care about boobs

[OddBeMe]

and you cannot lie

[Jay3344]

If most women preferred tall me and tall men are a minority, then why do we have a global overpopulation crisis?

[DrinaHeron]

It's a fact, for sure! The statistics speak for themselves. Tall men only. Manlets are insecure, delusional little sissy boys. Sorry, I'm not into short guys...

[zagor]

I think most women prefer men TALLER THAN THEM. That doesn't always mean tall.

[Anonymous]

Taller than them, at least but not necessarily 6 foot and up

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Total myth. Girls who only like tall guys are terrible in bed

[CuriousMufuxka]

In my experiences 5 foot ten has worked considerably well.

[Pohjolan]

Most women prefer men that are taller than what they are.

[Chthou95]

That's a fact. Generalities are more important than exceptions here

[melanieeeB]

Most women prefer a guy taller than herself

[UniquelyBasic]

They probably want men taller than them.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Myth. Truth is Taller, not tall.

[inhua]

fact. not really a discussion.

[Anonymous]

not a fact or a myth, but a preference...

[Rangers]

It's a scientific fact, yes

[Babygirl_S]

I prefer tall men.6 feet is ideal.

[boobliker]

they put heel on to be taller

[marish01]

Most men prefer slim women

[Iron_Man]

Yes they want to be protected

[wannabeCuck]

[Anonymous]

[WhatWhouldMarieDo]

[BrightBubblyKat]

[Anonymous]
