Why do most women love tall dark and handsome guys? Why do women prefer tall dark-haired men?

Question

I don't think, like some, that women are attracted to money or just bad boys. But I have the impression that a tall, dark-haired man is ideal for most women. Of course, every woman is different, but I think 80% of women prefer this appearance. Why women strongly prefer tall guys and dark hair on men? Dear women, Are men who are tall, dark and handsome more attractive than others?

Social engineering made by the media. Most leading men on tv/shows are tall, dark and handsome, so women are programmed at a young age to find them attractive. Same way that a universal preference for white men is present across all ethnic group of women. It's programmed into them very early from tv/show and magazines to find Caucasian features as the ideal beauty standard.

Now with regards to height specifically. The reason a lot of women are obsessed with height is due to female brains still being heavily influenced by their lizard/cave woman instincts. This instinct makes women believe that a man's height makes him a better protector against attackers. It also makes women more attracted to violent men, as these were the ones more likely to survive in ancient times against attackers and protect their spouses.

However, as we saw with Charlie Kirk, height means jack against a gun and being tall actually makes you a far easier target to hit and kill. So the belief that tall men are better protectors is false in modern times but female brains are still operating on cavewoman instinct and behavior and haven't caught up to that as yet.

I’ll be honest, for me personally dark hair is much more attractive simply because it looks more masculine to me. I’m not a huge fan of men with blonde or red hair, I defo prefer thick brown or black hair. “Dark” in “tall dark and handsome” also typically refers to dark hair and eye colour, so just dark features overall on a white man. I really don’t believe there is an undesirable eye colour, so I am happy with any eye colour as long as I think he’s attractive overall. I’m also not too fussy on height, I’m happy with 5’9+, if he’s too tall I think that’s going to look weird with me as I’m only 5ft 1, so if he’s 6’3 or something like that, I’d feel a bit strange walking next to him. I’d prefer a guy that’s around 5’9-6ft range. 5’10 is probably the ideal height for me.

I personally think its a bit of a myth that most/all women prefer tall and dark. Its often discussed a lot in media and in books/literature, its like saying that men prefer tall skinny Barbie blondes. I do think that that is a preference for some people, but not all. I have a weakness for dark hair and blue eyed men (and women), but I think thats because all the men in my family are like that. So i think its a subconscious thing. I have a few girlfriends who prefer blonde men. can't tell you why.

It depends on the woman tbh. I like both dark hair and light hair, handsome is subjective and everyone is taller than me

For the same reason most guys love non fat, non ugly women. It's biological.

For men women have always had to view men as protection, provisional, and the father of thier offspring. UNFORTUNATELY for men "EQUALITY" has made 2000 years of pair bonding obsolete. Women don't even need to suffer through having kids. Science allows them to murder as many pregnancies as they like. As result Women can now behave like men. They can seek out the guy that is the most physically appealing to her. This has come at the expense of many women's overall happiness though. Because women thought, "well now we can have it all". Women never really understood the role of men for the last 2000 years. They never understood that the power men held was mostly just RESPONSIBILITY. Women never signed on for that when they sought out equality and now they're receiving a rude awakening. The most attractive guys are HIGHLY sought afterwards. Which means she's going to be competing with 50 other women for that guy. And the guy wielding this much power can just choose to f*** all 50 and not commit to any of them.

This is one of the reason I love coming to G@G you get to watch women cry to guys that she wouldn't even cross the street to spit on that the giga-chads she "dates" do not really give a 💩 about her. And she thinks these guys should care just because she's a woman.😆

@funnyguy11 you're a comedian - applause. That said, apart from spreading good cheer, I for one am 5 foot 11, about 60-odd kilo's, and I find that women either look 👀 or they discreetly look 👀 or I just pass them by and they just pass me by. You know? So you know, what can I add to that or tell ya, other than. Shrug + it's just luck, if any good luck, timing, odds and a plain and simple "hey" lol 😆😂

Otherwise hell, no wonder nobody goes on a date of nobody actually opens their mouth and says words 🙃😗 'oh yoo-hooo lol lol"

For some reason most women are attracted to exactly the same narrow type of men which is ultimately disastrous for the survival of the human species. Culturally we are brainwashed into believing that we want to marry a "Disney prince" to prove to everyone else that we have high standards and that we have the power to reject men that are the wrong height and have the wrong skin and hair colour. These traits are apparently the most important things for a successful and happy marriage.

Maybe it's just cause it's the most common things? It look the most "natural" what we're the most used to see?

Height is generally a universal priority for most women, but the preference for dark haired guys may have been a result of movies and television throughout the 20th century, when you almost always saw blonde haired women paired with dark haired men. Of course, nowadays, you no longer see white folks in commercials as much, but the dark haired versus blond issue was largely decided a long time ago.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I am all those things so I can’t complain
And I don’t know why it’s appealing to women
But it is.
Many will deny it. Even to my face. Ultimately they chose to make an “exception”
Which they probably always make just tell themselves they’re altruistic and not shallow

I'm on the outs for this one.  I like 5'5-6'1 men with green gray hazel or brown eyes in that order.  Not too many dark people with green eyes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Flower7 · Answer

I think that is only a stereotype thing. I’ve only heard that phrase about “tall dark and handsome” on TV and in movies, never spoken by a woman in real life.

thegreenyogi · Answer

Not necessarily. If there's good chemistry I'd a man whether he's tall and dark or tall and fair.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Because tall is seen as masculine and protective and blond is seen as feminine

MJVillarama · Answer

It’s mostly just a stereotype and personal taste, everyone’s different! Confidence and how someone treats you matter way more than looks.
