Why do short girls go for the absolute tallest guy around?

[angelmarkley]

I saw like a 5'4 girl with like a 6'5 guy and I'm like whyy. She looks like his child. Why would you want to be in a relationship where its hard to simply even hug? Maybe I'm just jealous because im a taller girl and like where's my hope? I don't know. I don't understand how that can be comfy though. Can't you be satisfied with a 5'8 to 5'10 guy? Where does that leave short guys and the tall girls if the short girls are swooping all the tall guys.

So basically the moral of the story and what I've learned is you like who you like when you like them because you like them and height isn't always a factor which is total bullshit because height is almost always a factor for girls. Girls are just like that. I just think that if I was 5'4 and had a guy that was 6'5 I'd kind of feel bad for him and his back.
But on a happy note, I did get that it's just biological sometime.

I am 5'0 and I like a guy who is 5'10. I don't know if I even stand a chance with him, but why put a limit on height? O don't mind if the guy is even my height, trust me I find it less intimidating. I don't think I would ever date someone of 6 feet unless I REALLY liked them/ clicked with them. 6ft people are scary because I can never see their face while walking and talking 😂

[angelmarkley]

Why put a limit on height? because it's literally back breaking. If a 6'4 guy hangs out with his 5'0 girlfriend as much as I hang out with my short friends he knows how much of a struggle it is. My friends aren't even that short. They're like 5'6 and i'm always bending down to hear them or take photos with them. I mean, if the guy doesn't care about killing his back and really wants to be with a 5'0 girl then that's something different.

[Falling4UTC]

Well if anything it is more frustrating for us in loud places/ with friends. Imagine trying to communicate almost anywhere and not being able to be heard. Imagine all of your friends accidentallylosing you and blocking you out of the group bc they ccan't see you. Sure it will hurt the guys back, but if he cares he will stay. It hurts our feet wearing heels to be closer to your level and it hurts our necks looking up at you guys all the time yet if we care, we stay.
I don't know, in your question it says "why do short girls go for the absolute tallest guys.'' Have you ever thought that the tall guys went for them? Because honestly, all the guys that ask me out at about 6' or taller. Most tall guys like the short factor.

Sort if it sounded ruse, didn't mean for it to be that way @asker

[Falling4UTC]

Sorry* rude* LOL sorry too many typos 😂

[angelmarkley]

I don't think anyone ever told you wearing heels was a necessity. There are comfy heels out there. I have about 4 pairs. And some people don't wear heels to be taller, just because they just like the shoe and the heel. But it's fine. I'm totally over this question now. In my opinion, it's all about preference.

[Falling4UTC]

Well sometimes, like in order to dance with someone over a foot taller than you , it is pretty necessary to have heels haha. I own plenty of heels, and I find them all comfortable until I spend a good two or three hours in them, mind they are stilettos lol. And I agree it is preference

[linkywinky]

Because maybe she isn't dating him for his height. I mean... honestly. It's adorable how you're jumping to conclusions that she's dating him just because he's super tall. Maybe she isn't particularly fond of the height difference but she's dating him anyways because she likes a multitude of other things about him.

[angelmarkley]

I'm not jumping to conclusion... Notice I asked why this happens. There is nowhere that I said is she dating him for his height. I asked this question because it seems uncomfortable and I'm interested in understanding. Obviously thus is near and dear to your heart so I'm sorry if it brought up something from our past.

[angelmarkley]

Your past*

[FALLENCHRISTEY94]

Because they like them and I think they can't date guys there height and or love tall guys I'm kinda tall at 5"9 and I dated guys at 6"3 to 6"5 and because I love tall guys too :-)

[Likes2drive]

It does look ridiculous ,, look at Kim Kardashian when she was with Chris Humphries , how the hell do they kiss while having sex? I like girls to be almost my height or a few inches shorter than me, I'm only 5'10" so it's never been an issue really anyway but I think a lot of girls like it because they feel more secure around them

[chuppachup]

For some reason, most men prefer shorter girls and most girls prefer taller guys.
But still, there is some who don't really care about height. Just hang in there and you'll find a taller guy.
If it makes you feel any better, your height would be perfect for me and I'm 6"2

[angelmarkley]

Wonderful. You're very encouraging

[chuppachup]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not tbh

[angelmarkley]

No! I'm definitely not being sarcastic. I am a sarcastic person but that was sarcasm. 😁

[angelmarkley]

I mean, that was not sarcasm

[chuppachup]

Ah, okay. No worries then lol. Anyway, I hope you find a taller guy.

[singlebee]

Its because some girls are insecure about their own height... so to feel secure they date a guy who is too tall for them...😕

Or

She has a unrealistic preferences about the height of a partner she would want... eliminating more than half the population in the world...😂

My mom is 5'3 and I'm almost 6'4 meanwhile. She is like an annoying fly flying around me. It feels awkward for me to walk beside her. She keeps telling me not to slouch, but I can barely understand her down there. I want a tall girl.

[angelmarkley]

That makes total sense. I'm always bending to hear my short friends. Especially in loud crowds.

[Anonymous]

That's just who they are attracted to, I guess. I can't speak for them since I don't have a height requirement. I'm 5'6" and dated guys 5'4" up to 6'7". I saw some real bullsh-t on another site/forum, the women there were so horrible. They were various heights (shortest girl was 4'9 and tallest was 6') but a lot of the comments were "I don't even look at guys under 6 foot"... so rude. Like I was actually cringing at some of the comments.

"What do we call men under 5'1"? Friends" oy... smh.

[Opinion Owner]

5'11* I meant.

[angelmarkley]

Oh wow that website seems cut throat.

[Opinion Owner]

Well, it was a thread showing some comments from another site lol. But yeah, that one site... no thank you. So much negativity there.

[evenlift]

LMAO. That would exclude 70% to 80% of young men even in tall countries. I don't think those women have taken that fact into account. But, at least they are honest, I suppose!

[Opinion Owner]

Yep! They are really limiting their chances to find a nice guy.

[hypno-trip]

I like this girl

[Anonymous]

They probably feel on a subconscious level like their DNA needs evening out when it comes to having kids, they don't want their babies to be midgets too!

[angelmarkley]

That makes total sense.

[angelmarkley]

Buuuuttttt if they date someone who is 5'10 I'm pretty sure it will get evened out. :)

[Opinion Owner]

Music to my ears; I'm 5'10 lol

[angelmarkley]

You're in for a great future.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm a pessimist but thanks. lol

[dolphiny]

haha i dont even know. i've always wondered that. i have a few friends who are short and they're really into tall guys.. it's weird. their boyfriends usually tower them lol

[angelmarkley]

Yeah. Same. It's good to know that short girls are wondering what the deal is as well.

[dolphiny]

haha yeah! i like guys who are closer to my size. i do like them to be taller than me, but not 8 inches taller lol.

[Kamir2]

Thoses relationship are always considered cute, I'm a tall guy, I don't know why but I'm really attracted to short girls, not to say average girls or tall girls aren't attractive, but the short ones seems to always get my attention

[Grace_Rdz]

As a short girl myself, I've never been able to understand this either._.
But to each their own, I guess.

[angelmarkley]

I love that saying "to each their own" I literally use that every time I judge someone.

[Anonymous]

They like to feel protected, I can understand it when the guy is built but not when he's just a long bean pole. lol

[evenlift]

I don't know. As a somewhat tall guy (six feet), I would prefer a tall girl, actually.

[BertMacklinFBI]

don't you know, all girls love tall guys hahaa. well actually I should say "most", some girls on GaG testify to liking a shorter man.

[angelmarkley]

But a 5'8 just is tall for them because they're only 5'4. Why go beyond the 6' mark?

[BertMacklinFBI]

I can only assume society has tweaked their preferences over time, or growing up. you know, media and all.

[BertMacklinFBI]

I have no idea what it is about a tall guy that makes a girl feel safe hahaa. most tall guys I know are weak and brittle as fuck.

[angelmarkley]

Yeah. Maybe it is something social.

[Tthorpe16]

I am 5'2 dating a 6'0 guy. But it isn't like all girls go for a guy because of their height. It is just who you fall for.

[angelmarkley]

Yeah, suree, whatever you say.

[izzybolden]

^well... that escalated quickly :\

[angelmarkley]

@izzybolden I agree.

[Notedkibbles]

Why can't people date whoever they want? If the 7'9 guy and 4'9 girl like each other they should go from there

Well to answer the last part I don't know about you but if i find a short/tall girl that i clique with il be satisfied

[angelmarkley]

I didn't say they couldn't date whoever they wish. I just simply asked a question about something I was confused by which is what you do on this site.
You clearly have no regards for the back of that 7'9 guy, but you're the guy with the animated dog for a profile photo so I don't know what I might have expected.

[Notedkibbles]

I don't give a damn about the 7'9 guy and his back the point is he likes the girl and the girl likes him. So what does the dog have to with anything tf? Yeah... and here i thought the girl with the huge head was going places...

[HumorousCrowd]

I'm 5'5 so I should probably just go kill myself huh... ;)

[angelmarkley]

Oh well I don't think that would be the answer. Lol. Hang in there buddy.

[izzybolden]

Hold up I'll join you smh :P

[Bigclit]

ummm almost every guy is tall to me... i'm 5'1 1/2 so... girls dont want to be with a guy whos short they want someone they can look up to not down.

[angelmarkley]

I know but a 5'8 guy is someone you can look up to as well so like I don't know. That's like 7 whole inches which is quite a lot.

[Bigclit]

you sure it wasn't cause he was attractive? or something else?

[angelmarkley]

Well I didn't really think he was that attractive but I'm not that girl and her attractive might not be my attractive.

[Bigclit]

yeah... there's guys i find attractive and my friends don't

[angelmarkley]

same. i guess we just have to settle this with a "to each their own"

[Bigclit]

yeah good luck and i hoped i helped you in some way :)

[hypno-trip]

I agree I think more people should go for average height

[Anonymous]

This is what I imagine:

[angelmarkley]

Looks like a true struggle.

[izzybolden]

LOL!!!

[genericname85]

because as a guy, being tall is the most attractive thing for girls. it´s like big boobs and sexy ass on a girl for guys.

[Anonymous]

Some girls like really tall guys because they feel protected.

[angelmarkley]

But if you're 5'4, I'm quite sure you can feel protected with a guy who is 5'10

[Opinion Owner]

Yep.

[StickStickity13]

I agree, I couldn't date a girl who was too short

[ZombieHunter]

I think it's the daddy syndrome.

[angelmarkley]

Lol, what's the daddy syndrome. I have never ever heard of that.

[izzybolden]

Either no daddy in the home or treats them unfairly in the home so they look for a replacement.
