What Girls & Guys Said

I know that I like guys that are taller than me, but some girls don't care. It's just what society says that "guys have to be taller". I personally think it's awkward when I'm taller than the guy, which happens a lot cause I'm a tall. I'm just more attracted to people taller than me but hey everyone's different.
How tall are you
Just want to point out that the difference between 5-6 and 6-0 is only 9 percent. So much fuss about nine percent.
The difference in person looks more than it does on paper.
Duh! I was just making a point.
:/ It's crazy.
9 percent can determine if you pass or not.
9 percent can hurt you
hell
.1 percent can kill you
what i will never ever understand is why a woman would go out with a guy thats a foot or more taller than her. i actually understand why women wouldn't go for a guy thats shorter than her but what the fuck is worng with a guy thats 6 or 7 inches taller than her?
Nothing's wrong... with the GUY.
that was my point.
My height or what I said? Haha
your height lol
Oh thanks! That's a pretty good height :) Being short isn't very practical when reaching up high though haha.
It's a happy medium height.
thank you
Let me break it down...
Girls are attracted to masculinity. Muscles are a sign of masculinity. Muscles look better on tall guys. And, while I know you didn't want to hear the whole "protection" stuff, tall guys give the illusion of being more protective.
Some girls don't like guys with a lot of muscles though. That's no big deal with me because the way my body is I can quit lifting and be skinny or lift a lot and get toned. I've done it in the past. Most tall guys I see are skinny. You saying girls choose to believe in a illusion? Say no more. Thanks for your input.
Funny thing is it is normally the taller guys that run when confronted.
Nah I wouldn't run. I'm not even scared of dying.
Because we don't feel the need to be aggressive to compensate for our height...
There might be a reason that when you see ads looking for club security, they often say something like "must be at least 6 feet tall and 200 pounds."
@AndyWes That's because they are playing into the nonsense females believe in. He could be a 6 foot 200 pound weakling. I would want a tall security guard too because then he could see over the crowd better. Still doesn't mean I can't protect my girl though.
Statistics show most relationships with a taller female don't work at a rate of something like 9/10 if I remember correctly. It's a preference spurred on by evolution and it can't exactly be helped by a lot of girls, they will find shorter men attractive just their ideal is taller.
I have no problem with short men and for sure they aren't weak but I want to be with someone taller than me. It's not because of the respect that I might gain, I could gain respect from my other aspects though. I've known some friends who have shorter bf's and they seem contented.
Again like I told someone else this is a choice based on mostly environment & conditioning. Society says "women you should want a guy that's taller than you. Guys you should want a girl that's shorter than you." I say fuck norms.
i like short guys. i dont know for me i base it on personality rather than appearance but for a lot of girls i think it is based on appearance. i guess you could say they dont think it looks good to be with a guy shorter than them? my boyfriends short but then again he's taller than me so i dont know. i like em.
I don't think it's about protection, I think it's more of the typical movie fantasy of a girl hugging a guy and burying her face in his chest. That's a little hard to do if the guy is shorter than. I don't see why this is so important though. I, myself, don't care about how tall a guy is, so long as he likes me for me and if I like him back. That's all that should matter, but girls can be shallow too about appearances.
This is ridiculous, physical features are important, it's simple as that, it's nature, NO ONE will go off of personality alone, even you satated you have preferences so don't be a hypocrite and hate girls that have them
If your just going off of height and NO OTHER VARIABLES then yea a larger male has the advantage in protecting you, that's why we breed guard dogs to be big, that's why welterweights don't fight heavyweights, women don't choose men off of one sole factor alone
Eyyyy this cat gets it.
My preferences can be changed and it's never one variable. Yet if a girl sees a short guy it's usually immediately a turn off unless she already knows him.
Please stop putting us girls in one big stereo type.
anon , your fellow women are to blame for that
@Anon0001 I'm not. I realize there are shallow and un-shallow girls. That's two categories.
Yea, a girls preferences aren't dependant on yours
I live where is okay to like what you like and people respect that, I'm black, there are girls who despite thinking I'm hot, won't date black guys, I can't change that, so what, that's their preference
@Phi0mega dude I'm black too. I get it bruh. Most girls don't like black guys and even black girls are leaving us. I get all that. That's a problem too. I don't judge them by race. I like every race. I'd fuck a girl from Mars with green skin. I don't care but girls do. I'm short and black. Granted I'm light skinned but still I got a bad hand to play with.
Ayyyyy, most the girls that tell me that I ain't even trying to get with, so I be like cool
I only need one girl to love and love me back, I ain't worried
Right.
I'm 5'2. I used to prefer short guys when I was younger, but now I do prefer tall guys. It's simply my preference. I wouldn't turn a guy down for being short, but I just am more attracted to guys who are tall. Actually, most of my boyfriends have been short, 5'4/5'5. And honestly... they were all awful. I wasn't attracted to either of them, but dated them because I thought they were nice guys.
...Well I'm not awful :(
I wasn't saying you are. :D Although, if you think about it, short guys might be a little bitter towards girls (or tall guys), because of the tall preferences, which could come off as an attitude issue. So it may not be because a guy is 'short'. I feel your pain though. Sometimes I wish I was tall...because then I could reach the middle shelf (or the top shelf!) without standing on my tippy toes..
Some short guys are mean because they feel they need to make up for their height. I'm typically as tall as most girls or a inch taller or shorter. I'm not a mean person and I don't run my mouth a lot like some short guys do.
According to statistics, short guys remind females of sucking cock.
Why? do you ask, statistically short guys are exactly at cock level, some debate they are slightly above, but that is still up for debate. The university of York, stated, short guys simply can't please a women who is at cock level.
- Being tall ain't eazy.
Well I got plenty of cock females can suck. LOL!!
First of all what height is being at cock height? How would a short guy remind someone of sucking cock? I am 5'4" and I please my girlfriend wonderfully and I know I do by the way she acts during love making, sex and she tells me I do also.
Too tall is also not good.
Short can be lack of protection and most of us are naturally attracted to something that feels like protection. And being to tall is like walking holding a tree. 5'8. - 6'2 is good.
A short buff guy doesn't feel like protection. Even if you dont want to hear it, and a really tall skinny guy doesn't feel like protection either. A normal built guy with the heights i mentioned feel like protection.
Height has nothing to do with protection. Protection is a mindset. Few have the die hard mindset I have and I'm short.
Your just shallow it's ok. You can't help it.
and what is wrong with a guy that is 5 foot 7? why would you dimiss a guy over one inch in height?
it doesn't matter if height has or it hasn't anything to do with protection, it's the feeling it conveys. don't you understand? As long as one feels protected that's what matters.
@ocicatlover: we don't go around with a measuring tape measuring guys, it's what you're attracted to, you wouldn't date someone you're NOT attracted to, and if you would, it's probably out of desperation that you can't do any better. If you're not attracted to something you can't force yourself to be.
As one girl put it is it the illusion you love? If so your fooling yourself. If only I was like females. Judging people by the qualities they can't help.
It is not an illusion if the precense is real.
Fat is to guys what height is to girls and unfortunately what attracts us is not adjustable, and what attracts you guys IS! It is what it is and nobody can change that because you can't be attracted to what you`re not! It is not something you can force. Too bad if you are not tall and too bad for those girls who rat like pigs and can't control their eating habits.
The illusion is not *presence it's the protection. The illusion is that you think that a taller guy will protect you better. This is not the case. There are other factors to consider such as heart, courage, strength, speed, fighting ability, etc.
Nah I mean it's a blessing. I can see the real from the fake. A few in this comment section give no fucks about height. W/e though. I can decipher who's who now.
Um no, the feeling is what counts, so if something makes me feel protected thats what im attracted to. An illusion is something that is not there.
I dont choose to what in attracted to, i just am attracted to what is appealing to me, just like many guys feel attracted to thinner girls instead of fat ones, its what they are attracted to, but unfortunately height is not something you can change, the reason why i said tough luck if you happen to be short, and tough luck if you happen to be a girl who can't give up eating like a pig.
Well the feeling of being protected is a lie. I can choose. Why can't others?
It's a lie because you aren't protected you just think you are.
Thats what you dont get, its not about what think, its about how i feel. So its not just what i think as you say, its how I FEEL. If someone doesn't make me feel protected, even if i am, it doesn't matter because i DONT FEEL IT, and the same the other way.
You feel protected even though your not necessarily protected. Still living a lie.
Nobits not, why does it HAVE TO be a lie? Are you saying only short guys are able to protect? Hahaha on the contrary, im not saying they can't but the majority of securities and cia`s and any ither kind of form of protection is given to men who are taller rather than short. Again that is not sayong short guys can't but is more likely to get more from someone bigger lol
I said your not NECESSARILY protected. Just because he's tall doesn't mean he will protect you. I'm not a girl but if I was I'd want someone who has courage. Not someone who looks tough but ain't tough.
The security and CIA, first of all the CIA guys are trained and are strong as oxen. The security have to be tall to see over large crowds and to appear tough. Whether they are tough or not determines if they have a job. They have to be tough and big, not just big. Do you need a security guard? Aren't you grown? A short guy doesn't need to see over crowds all the time and you should get someone who actually is tough not just looks tough. The big guy thing is just to scare people. I'm either to couragous or too stupid to back down regardless of size though. I'd go on some David vs Goliath shit. LOL! I'm JS if I get knocked out I'm going down with my fists flying. Some big guys think that because they are big they don't need to fight.
Girls like to feel protected and feminine, it's not as easy to do that looking down at a guy. Most girls prefer tall guys, at least taller than them. Women like strong, tall men that they can feel safe and sexy around :-)
Just because a guy is tall doesn't mean he's strong or can protect you. :(
i dont see why you can't feel protected and feminine with a guy thats at least 5 inches taller than you
I didn't specify what height I prefer, I girls mostly like guys at least taller than them. I don't mind a guy just being a bit taller than me, I'm 5'2 so anything taller than me is fine. I just want to be able to look up to him and feel protected.
Well I don't like that mindset, but at least I'm taller than 5'2. *Shrugs*
See? You won't have any problems then :-) we're not all part of the '6' and over club' lol.
It's seen as unmanly & we want someone we feel safe around and who can protect us if it really came down to it.
Also it's unconscious biological desire. We try to find someone who gives us big, strong, healthy babies.
That being said there are some women who don't mind but for the ones who do that's the reason.
Get upset at me all you want, it's true.
LOL!! I'm not upset. Your just saying what a lot of the other girls have said. Believing a delusion.
The answer to that would be intertwined with the fact that just the same number of guys would like the girl to be at least a little shorter than him. As much as everybody can say to sound politically correct, it just looks and feels that much romantic when a girl can look UP to his face and she can rest her head on his chest standing up.
If the short guy is stocky and muscular...I love it. Plus tall men aren't attracted to me..so...get it short guy. It's about confidence
I'm not stocky though with my body type it's easy to get ripped. I've done it before and they missing out on you.
What's wrong with a girl that's shorter than you? Why would you be "settling"? I'm 5'4 and wouldn't date a guy under 5'8-5'9. Why? I wouldn't feel feminine with a guy any shorter. Tall guys are hot. Sorry.
Just out of curiosity, what if the guy was attractive and had a great personality. Would you still rule him out?
:( I can't change everyone. It's cool though. Me and the non-shallows will be on the other side.
@Willow4 well him being under 5'8 would take away some of his attractiveness but if I really felt he was the one obviously I would put height aside. But that's if everything else is near perfect haha. And @asker, so you're saying you're not shallow at all? Why are you complaining about shorter girls? If you're not shallow a woman's height shouldn't matter.
I like short girls too actually.
There is something so perfect about being able to rest your head on his shoulder while you're side by side, look UP into his eyes, and stand on your tip toes to kiss him, or having him lean down to kiss you <3
Convenience? What if I said it's something so perfect about having my head at a taller girl's waist or breasts, looking up into her eyes, and having her to lean in to kiss me? Why wouldn't you like that situation? What's wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong with that! It's a personal preference what someone wants their S.O.'s height to be :)
A lot of girls don't want that though.. It doesn't matter to me either way. I just know I can't change my height and girls can't either.
I'm 4" taller than my girlfriend and if I was any taller, she shouldn't be able to properly rest her head on my shoulder. But to be honest, I tend to rest mine on hers, and I'm 4" taller. Soooooo...
Nothing wrong with that. Your still the man of the relationship. You know why? Because you got balls and she doesn't that's why. They talk biology well my balls is biology.
I'm not going to lie but as long as you are taller than me the I would not care but I am 5'11 and I would like someone taller so I could have that secure emotional feeling and the feeling of having to go on my toes to kiss him or hug for comfort instead of my my shorter friends who I have to bend which is very enjoyable
Your not secure by the guy being taller than you. Protection isn't based on height. How do you think the guy feels when he has to bend to kiss you? All these reasons for attractive are based on convenience and not compatibility.
All I know is that I found my guy and he is 6' so merely an in between us and he's great and i feel even better about myself (not that I already was)
All I know is that people should not hold others to height. Just because a guy is shorter doesn't mean he doesn't have better/more qualities that appeal to you than a tall guy.
Look I've dated a guy that was much shorter than me and his personality made up for his height but in the end even he knew It was hard to keep
His masculinity is determined by height then? Since he's shorter than you he's less a man to you? If so then sometimes he's a female and sometimes he isn't. You two can believe that if y'all want. I personally have had girls who found me attractive even if they found out my personality wasn't what they wanted.
Your kind of impossible to debate with! I like tall guys that's it! I love how there eyes are symmetrical to mine! I've given short guys a chance so I don't reject them but I prefer taller guys than me and that's just my type
LOL!!! Should guys hold girls to such standards? What if tall guys only wanted short girls?
Anonymous girly, don't get upset. This guy is a grade A hypocrite as he whines about height discrimintion but states in the question he doesn't want short girls.
@paxtonfun never did I state I wanted short girls and you haven't read ANY of my comments apparently. I again said this was my first time posting a question and while I can empathize with short guys because I am short and can see the discrimination I also can't apply such experiences to me. With that said some guys have to "settle" for short girls. Meaning they don't have the option to pick. It doesn't mean necessarily mean they don't want them but only that that's their only option.

I like taller but if I found someone a little shorter than me and had a big heart and had all my other same requirement as I would for someone taller id date him cuz honestly there aren't to many of those type of guys that I want
That just means you'd consider guys who are average height if they fit all your other requirements. You shouldn't be that way. You know a lot of guys don't like tall girls. So you know how it feels to be judged based on height alone.
I'm sorry I Have high standards! And in this cruel world and one day I just woke up and said "there's tall and short and that's how we we're made" so I got over the issue of my height and I'm actually kind of cool that not everyone likes tall girls cuz that would be horrible
It's ok. I'm glad not everyone likes short guys because now I can see who's who. There are two types in this world. Some girls are in your category and other girls are in the other category.
And none of that has to do with how hot the groups are.
I'm not some cold hearted bit*h who dates only average and tall... I have other things on mind other than height cuz I don't want to end this question like this. One day I'll meet the one and height won't matter than
Nah nah nah the guy has to be taller. It's cool. 6'0 and up.
Ok I'm done! Last time I post it was almost a 3 weeks ago and and a lots changed so please just bear me another "debate". And one more question? Are you self-conscious about your height
5'9 and up then. Which is the again around the average height of a guy. I'm aware of my thoughts and feelings on height.
I'll admit that I have not ever dated someone shorter than 5'8 but there's not a lot of shorter guys willing to ask me out or hang out so what am I supposed to do? There was this one guy and he was 5'4 and I found him very attractive but nothing happened probably because he wasn't interested but I moved on and it just happened to me that taller men asked me out and such!
But you have also said that you don't want a guy shorter than a few inches shorter than shorter than you. Look...like your tall guys. Be on that side of the fence.
I know I said that but it's not like there's a lime of shorter guys outside my door!
So because there aren't a line of shorter guys outside your door you feel like you should only go for guys that are around average height and taller? o.O
If they aren't asking or giving clues than why should I chase after them
Do you give clues? You don't want them to begin with. Around 5'9 5'10 and up to ride.
yes I'm not afraid to be flirty!
But I'm not gonna wait around for someone so if there tall then great and if they actually ask me out and short then great! There's a chance for both! But mainly taller guys ask me out and I've gotten a taste but I wouldn't be afraid to test the waters
But only to guys who are around 5'9 5'10 and up? You just have "high standards!" I'll be over here.
Oh ok.
High standards as in -no drinking -no smoking -no lazy asses -hardworker -someone with the same passions of my sport -athletic (someone to go running with) -soft eyes andhands -no tattoos and way longer! VERY LONG LIST! That's what I mean by standards
Oh ok, so height isn't on that list? but you've admitted that you have changed over the past 3 weeks right? Is how you feel about height part of that change?
Someone died In my life recently and they left important advice and said to find someone that's about love so yes I have changed! And I don't care if you don't BELIVE me cause your getting on my nerves
Not all short guys like tall girls ok! And not all tall guys like tall girls!
Sorry that someone died in your life. Not all girls like short guys either. A lot don't. That's all I'm saying. If you don't care about height now then ok. I was just going by what you have said.
You have any idea if how much power it holds as it was there last breaths! So if they are amazing and have my standards no matter what height than I'm ok! I know how most girls don't and it's cruel but we don't live in a perfect world
Oh ok. Cold world.
as a girl on the taller side i also ask why tall guys always want short girls? it's not my fault i'm tall, why do guys prefer girls who are short? it's just nature i guess and partially society. unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it.
It just shows there are only a few real people in the world. Those few have to stick together because we are outnumbered.
i dont "prefer" short girls. i'll take anything height wise
I think some of the taller guys with an average penis just like short girls, cause it makes their thing look bigger when having sex and out in the streets or else where they appear as the one dominating. Maybe the taller guys aren't confident that they can please a tall girl since in their mind every tall girl has an elephant vagina. As for why most woman likes taller men, they prefer to be dominated. No guys want the woman to look like the one dominating right? There will always be exceptions, but mostly I think agrees to that. Just sharing my thoughts, no offense.
@letmein101 I don't know bro. Being short with a large one I think my height makes mine look even more enormous. LOL!! What? Some tall guys think tall girls have elephant vaginas? That's insane. I can dominate a tall chick. Done it before. You just bend her over and go to work. I guess I'm the exception because my height doesn't define my masculinity.
What I meant was actually dominated in appearance not dominated dominated. As for the elephant thing, some women thinks that taller men have bigger feets are better equipt etc, but that's not true. So I just thought the other way around. Still working on my English used to live in Norway...
Another way to look at it, is it wouldtn't look good if my girl could lift me up with one arm... lol
@letmein101 I intimidate most girls who are attracted to me. I wonder if they think I don't look "dominate"? Yeah that's ridiculous too. My feet are relatively normal sized, but I'm well above average in "equipment". Oh it's okay bro. Your English isn't too bad at all 😊
@letmein101 Well strength and height are two different things, but that would be weird lol.
