Why do women place more value on height than looks?
It's like height matters more than how good looking a guy is. what is the deal?
I think it has to do with a lot of what society taught us..Which is sad. It's inmature. I will admitt I always thought I wanted or needed someone to be taller than me, but as I grew up and have dated a huge range of guys I realized it really doesn't matter much (to me..but I'm sure there are still some girls and guys who prefer certain heights not that they are shallow its just what they prefer and there is no shame in being picky specially with dating now a days) anyways what was I saying? Oh yes to me.. I realized I don't mind dating a guy who is shorter than me but he has to be comfortable with the fact that I am taller. It's a must and a deal breaker if he isn't. I'm going to wear heels and not feel like I have to slouch to make him feel comfortable. But yeah I don't have a problem dating someone whos a different height as long as its not a problem for them. Does that make sense? ha ha It's late I'm not sure if I am lol :) Hope I helped!
Not to me. A 5'8 guy with a really cute face and nice body is more attractive than a 6'3 guy with an ugly/average face and out of shape body. But if they are both equal in terms of face/physical shape then the taller guy would win. I do like tall guys though. So while being tall is a good quality it won't override things that are majorly wrong with a guy.
However, if a guy is TOO short it almost doesn't matter about the rest of his qualities. If a guy is 5'2 then I simply am not looking at him period. I just don't want a guy who is shorter than me. I don't want to be bigger than my man.
so what if the girl is 5'9-5'11, and the good looking guy is 5'8? Will the girl not even bother to look at him because he's shorter than her?
That depends on the girl. Most girls want their man to be taller than them. I know some taller women who only want taller men, but I know some who've dated men who are shorter than them. It kinda depends on the girl but usually she'll want someone taller than her
If I could only choose one, definitely fall for height!!! Height is sooooo important for me personally.
If a guy is extremely handsome, but as tall as me or just little higher than me, I won't choose him no matther what. Because it feels like I am the guy and I am stronger than the man.. and I need to protect him! I like being the opposite. And by the way, I think good looking for a man is the least important for me personally. If only looking at the physical part, height and temperament is more attractive as long as he is not ugly.. average looking or bit above or below is fine.
Because guys can never be as beautiful as women, evolution caused this necessary change so they would react to...
oh wait. Not. Wanna know the reason? Easy. It's because girls learn that guys are supposed to be big and strong, while guys learn that girls are supposed to be pretty. These engraven sociality-originated thoughts alter the image of your ideal, and eventually girls believe that guys are supposed to be taller than them. For example, my sister doesn't necessarily need a guy to be taller than her, the only reason why she likes it if a guy is taller because then she can put her nose into his warm neck in case it's freezing. I think that's not a universal reason. xD

I am 5ft 11 and I just don't wan2 feel big like a bloke,the guy should be taller,yeah I have turned down people a bit shorter than me,that are better looking than the lanky streak of p*ss I choose just cos he's the right height and build.but I don't like being so tall.It's totally upto the girl but I personally wouldn't because I'm insecure about my height and I think girls should b shorter than the guys.My only physical must is that the guy must be taller than me for some reason,i don't even know myself :S
For me, it makes me feel like a big wall is protecting me and I feel like a kid.
It gives me an innocent feeling that gets me all warm inside.
Although, shorter guys are cute to me too. I like the thought of spoiling them, you know? With, like, hugs and kisses and such. I don't think I'm the only one like that, but according to most women I know, it's true for an abundant percentage.
Did I help you?
Hugs and Kisses,

There are some people that don't care about height. The guy I love is short (5'6"). I agree though that most girls seem to put way too much emphasis on height...there are some though like me, who just don't care.
lol, look at this chellmii chick thinking she KNOWS paigems is short, like she's trying to make a point or something...some women actually have good taste in men and recognize that a meaningless measurement like height isn't important at all in a partner. Attractiveness should be based on what is aesthetically appealing, ie looks, not something irrelevant like height.
lo no its not like that well most of it is actually... we just rather have someone who is taller than us then someone short and we do look at looks but height plays a part 2
So why prefer height over looks? why can't it be the other way around? Why can't you prefer to be with a guy who is actually good looking who may not be tall? why would anyone be okay with being with someone who is ugly?, that's just gross.
Lol no your not getting ir we don't want someone tall like huge we just want someone taller than us ;P and trust me we look at looks =] we just prefer someone who is our height or taller so that if we wear heels the boy is our hieght now or taller than us still you get it?
but what about a guy who is ugly, shouldn't you be worried about him being ugly?, that's a bad thing as is a guy being shorter. Your answering my question as if ugliness isn't a problem for you, but a guy being shorter than you is. what if the guy is ugly but taller? you gonna date him?
looks don't make a person how they act and their personality determine the path of the realtionship..Lol sounds deep right =) anyways no guy or girl is ugly they might now be hot or cute but no one is ugly and height doesn't matter ..but honestly its more comforting dating someone who is taller than you cough cough taller (tall) you can be average height and still be tall if your taller than the girl..and if he's sweet and funny yeah ill date him looks are not allt hat and a bag of chips ..
okay, height isn't all that and a bag of chips either. If you can look past looks, you can look past a guy being shorter than you. IF you have a problem with a guy being shorter, then you should also have a problem with a guy being ugly. Theyre both unattractive traits.
ARen't you just a grouch ...are you not tall or something...i mean we all have a trait that we seriously want in a partner ..and in this case height plays an important part ..but I'm not saying I would not go out with someone shorter than me I'm just saying I prefer a guy taller ..looks right now is irrelevent to this topic btw
umm, look are relevant for the topic..if You read the main post, I'm camparing the two and noticing how women seem like its the height that really matters, not so much the looks. clearly you are the type that would rather date a taller average-ugly guy over a good looking shorter guy.
oh yeah, and you fail to realize that height is just a meaningless measurement. Aesthetics are what should matter for attraction. cough the guys looks cough.
are your coughs sarcasm..! and I Understand that their is more to a guy than his height ..but I'm pretty sure that the way a girl looks is what attracts a guy to a girl not her GPA OR Height...Your implying that all I look for in a guys is tallness and that I would not go for a short guys..When clearly height is just one o fmy top tens just like I'm sure for you cuteness ! ^_^ is am I right? so just like looks are equivalent to your number one height is mine..and if height wasn't such a BIG deal..
then why don't you go out with a tall girl and then a short girl and see how your date goes it's different when your comfaortable with the..what do you call it oh yeah " meaningless measurement "
I would be just as comfortable going on a date with a girl taller than me as I would a girl shorter. It would take me a bit before I even noticed her being taller than me on a concious level, it's that damn meaningless. It really is a meaningless measurement because it has nothing to do with the aesthetics. Good aesthetics are what make a person attractive ie looks.
you know what fine !..height is not that important..happy ?!
everyone has their own preferences..some prefer their boyfriends to be taller because in most relationships, girls like guys that can be tough and look out for them.
well I don't want to be around someone shorter cause it makes me feel like a giant
but being around someone ugly/average looking doesn't make you feel like you have bad taste?
you do realize that height is a part of looks, lol :P
not according to my definition. for the purpose of getting my question answered, you will have to go by my definiition of looks.
honestly height couldn't matter less to me...
personality wins out over both height and looks :)
if personality is what wins out for you, then you must be ugly or average looking. Attractive women don't have sex with or date men they don't find physically attractive. Period.
where the hell did you get that idea from?!?! no two people are alike and comparing one to many is just plain stupid. so you couldn't even begin to understand who I'm attracted to and why...
thats beside the point. your original post was retarded.
It's about the full package
