I'm tall (6'6"/199cm) and pretty lanky and I got a lot of attention from it from a few girls in highschool.
I'm not the type to approach women, and I probably can't take a hint, but my interactions with women has dropped to an all time low and I haven't noticed any girls being interested in me for years.
My friends keep saying that girls are probably still attracted to me and I probably just don't notice... because 'women will overlook a lot if a guy is tall'. The thing is, all of my friends are short, so I feel like there's a bit of bias to it. To me, it seems like girls do like tall guys, but not slim tall guys.
I may be wrong, but I just want to put that out there for girls and other tall guys to answer. (I say tall guys, because I want to hear from other similar guy's experiences.)

Being super tall can definitely get you noticed, but it's definitely not everything. Here are a few thoughts from a fellow tall guy:
- Height is definitely a plus for attracting some girls' initial interest. But you still need the whole package to really click with someone.
- Being lanky/slim as well as tall might balance out some of the height benefit for some girls. Broader shoulders tend to look more "filling out the frame".
- Confidence sells way more than just height alone. Girls want to feel you're comfortable in your own skin.
- Approaching skills still matter a lot. I've noticed over time that just waiting for girls to come to me rarely works.
- Different body types appeal to different girls too. Many like a buffer/athletic build these days just as much as sheer height.
- Don't overthink it man. Focus on putting yourself out there, taking care of your bod, and developing your personality. That combo will serve you better than just hoping height alone does the work!
Keep your head up bro. Our height can help break the ice, but connecting with people is a full package deal. You've got this!
Attitude counts more than height, how a person is and interacts with others counts more.
when me and mates go out the heights are about 5’6 to 6’6 ish
no matter the height, it’s the having fun, chatting, being approachable.
That definitely makes sense! I figured as much.
