Why do very tall men go for short girls?

[Anonymous]

I am dating 6 ft 3 man while I am just 5 ft 2 and he loves that I am so petite.

Our height difference is almost identical as Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke.

I don’t think I qualify as very tall (Only 6’1”) but I’ve always had thing for petite girls. I tend to like an hourglass shape and that is more common in a shorter girl. So, I am attracted to and therefore pursue, a petite girl. 5’2” is just about perfect to me but in my single days I dated as short as 4’11” and as tall as 5’4”. I’ve also seen (in a totally unscientific and purely anecdotal way) that the shorter girls seem to wear high-heels more often and the sight of a well dressed woman in heels definitely grabs my eye.

Short women go for tall men more than vice versa. 99% of women will be short to tall men they have no choice their dating pool consists of those women that are very small to them. A tall man needs to search through thousands of women to find someone that is not that small to him. Short women will most likely come across men that are not tall. They need to literally go out of their way to find tall men and it's like the reverse, 90% of men won't be tall to short women. So with this in consideration, majority of the time it is short women that are seeking out tall men. About 10 out of 100 men will be at least 6'0, that ain't much. You also have to consider compatibility too so that narrows it down even more. But tall men will find a ton of compatible women much smaller than them it has nothing to do with height on their end.

Fragile masculinity


Men find masculinity in physical qualities. They can’t stand being seen as feminine. If they’re taller than they’re girlfriend then they appear more masculine, so they can preserve their manhood.

I guess that has been my experience so far as well.

[Pinay_ako]

I’m 4’11 and the shortest man I’ve ever been with was 5’9. I guess they like petite women to make them look bigger? I don't know

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

It's so strange since I have three really tall friends and they all married extremely short girls (5 feet or less, like the tallest men in our social group got together with the shortest women in our social circle). Could just be a coincidence and maybe we just notice it more and remember those cases given the glaring contrast and not the couples where both the man and woman are very tall.

Yet I could swear that every single really tall guy I've known closely ended up dating really short girls and I barely remember ever seeing a really tall man with a really tall woman. Maybe it's an opposites attract thing.

[Anonymous]

That's funny because I am also 6'3" and my wife is also 5'2". I have always been most attracted to girls/women in the 5'0" - 5'2" range. It was never a choice or some logical decision I thought through, it's just who I'm attracted to. My theory is it's mother nature's way of ensuring humans don't become a race of giants.

[Asker]

Nice. What about 5’3 - that is too tall for your liking?

[Opinion Owner]

Nah, 5'3" is beautiful in my world.

[BadApple69]

I am 6’ 2” tall and I like small girls. I guess mainly because in times of trouble, I can put her in my back pocket and know she will be safe there.
Joking of course. I guess because most girls appreciate a tall guy, and the shorter the girl the more appreciative they are to having a tall strong man.
Then of course there is the sexual component to the small petite girl (better known as spinners)... There is something to be said for a girl you can pick up and spun around in different positions, and angles.
So yes petite girls can be more fun in the bedroom.

[AaronKrieger]

I am about 6'3" and I have mostly dated girls around 5'2" while preferring tall girls.

Why? Most women are that height, so there are more of them than tall ones. You are more likely to find someone you have chemistry with that is the average height. Also, most of the girls that have liked me were short or at least the ones forward about it, so that increases that chances.

[TommyWiseau69]

Around 5'2 isn't average height. Women are usually 5'4 to 5'6 don't know what smurf country you're in. Even on apps I hardly see that many women below 5'2. More often than not it's short women going for taller men

[AaronKrieger]

The United States. I get that you hyperfocus on height, but 5'2" and 5'4" are practically the same to me. This is just my opinion, so interpret it however you want.

I am just going off of my own experiences, having lived in various parts of the country, since it really does depend on where you live here.

[TommyWiseau69]

You literally stated most women are around 5'2. That's objectively false at least here in the usa. I go through 100s of profiles of women 5'4 to 5'6 on apps that outnumber the heights of every other height of women. 5'2 and 5'4 are not the same. I'm a 5'4 man. I live with my 5'2 sister. There is a clear night and day difference between us two and it's obvious I look taller. If I for whatever reason shrink 2 inches I will look completely different at 5'2

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I got nothing against tall woman, I think they're hot in their own way, but there is a veery primal, deep satisfaction in being able to absolutely manhandle your woman lol.

But there's also something pretty hot about a woman who can compete with you a bit. Which I think long term is more interesting.

[Tractorguy13]

Because short girls are super hot 🥵

Short girls just seem to be built different than tall ones. Yeah tall girls tend to have long legs but have you seen the ass of a short girl? And just the way they carry themselves is amazing……. Also helps you can stare at their tits while pretending to look in her eyes while hugging 🤗

[TommyWiseau69]

I've seen plenty of tall women with a nice ass don't know what bullshit you're spewing

[Peridot25]

@TommyWiseau69 He never said they didn’t 🤨

[Tractorguy13]

@TommyWiseau69 this is a generalized statement for the majority based on my opinion. Yes of course there are hot tall girls. I guess the point I was trying to make is that from what I’ve seen short girls seem to naturally have the right curves. Even the slightly chunky ones are yummy 🤤. Tall girls on the other hand generally have to work harder to achieve those curves. I’m talking curves not just being skinny, a naturally skinny tall girl tends to no have an ass……… hope this clears things up

[TommyWiseau69]

@Peridot25 he's indirectly implying it

[TommyWiseau69]

Short women are also more likely to get fat faster. When a woman has curves that means she's not normal weight most of the time. Maybe just slightly above. A naturally skinny short woman has no ass either. A girl having an ass has nothing to do with her height. It's her weight

[Peridot25]

@TommyWiseau69 Ok 🤷‍♀️

[Tractorguy13]

@TommyWiseau69 you either like stick figures or don’t understand how muscle tone creates curves. Have you heard of glutes? Do you understand the process of toning glutes? After that you will need to understand basic anatomy. Not hard to put it together to figure out the difference in effort it takes short vs tall girls from toning their ass.

Either that or you like stick figures with a flat ass, and that’s ok too. We all have our own preferences, this is why this question is based on an opinion, I know that’s hard to swallow but people are allowed to have a difference in opinion

[TommyWiseau69]

I genuinely don't care about a woman being thin and find petite women attractive. Short women are more prone to getting fat. A short woman needs to exert more effort to prevent becoming fat than tall women. I only find short women with big asses and curves disproportionate looking and it's not appealing. Short women that are petite are more attractive.

[Peridot25]

Awesome 👍

[Berethor]

A man should be taller than a woman, it's an exaggeration of that and a common fetish. :)

[Nirmroth]

Comes down to taste. I as 5'11 guy dated a 4'10 girl once. Was way to small for me. But the height difference should be nearly the same as your example.

[FunkyMonkee]

It's the short girls that go after the tall guys. Give ME a tall girl!! I'm not exactly picky on her height (I'm 6' 9" and my ex-fiance was 5' 3") but, I'd prefer a tall girl! Gimmie someone I don't have to bend way down to kiss or whom I can kiss WHILE I'm fucking her.

[Nikki1989]

Why do short girls go for tall men?

I don't get it.

[Peridot25]

Because they can put us in time out in high places if we give them attitude 😂

[9in_Serpent]

exactly! its too cute we just can't help it! lol xD

[Pink2000]

I’m not sure. I’m 5’0 ft and my ex is 6’1. He loved my height. I’ve dated guys that were 6’4 and 6’8. They all loved my height as well.

[Tractorguy13]

You sound hot 🥵

[TommyWiseau69]

@Tractorguy13 she literally stated nothing but her height. Very weird. Someone woman can say she's short and look like a complete witch.

[firenine909]

Not every guy does but they probably find very short girls cute. There might be a bit of a power dynamic between the 2 they love and they know some girls love that.

[he-takes-a-part]

Manhandling becomes easy. I'm taller than him. I prefer white short girls until my chest. Easy to pick from waist. Legit reason to pick up anytime so no fear. White ass cheeks are bubble to them. And many positions can be tried on.

[robocop666]

I have not got a clue. I am 6 foot tall and my ideal height for a woman is 5 eleven

[Explorer91]

Same reason women find tall men masculine. Tall men could find shorter women feminine.

[Anonymous]

Probably because most women are smaller than us men. My wife is five foot two, and I'm 6 feet tall. The average woman is five foot 4 inches in the US... The average height of men in the US is five foot nine inches..

[Peridot25]

I’m actually 5’5

[Opinion Owner]

Nice!

[FireFox001]

Why do short girls go for tall men? I'm quite tall and I get a lot of attention from much shorter girls...

[Asker]

It’s him who is all over me.

[FireFox001]

I was referring to myself. I am perfectly fine with girls of my height or a bit shorter, but every woman wants a taller guy. That said, I'm 184cms and I get a lot of interest from the 160 cm department >.> and I am not a huge fan of very short girls.

[tierrlamé]

They're fun to throw around but i don't discriminate. I've dated tall girls too.

[Hush97]

Throw around? 😆

[9in_Serpent]

@Hush97 pretty much lol 😂

[tierrlamé]

@Hush97 A lot... they're easy to pic up and play with😂
