How attractive are tall men to you?

Question

I can never really get a grip on how a tall man is considered attractive. Im not that tall. Only around 185 cm at best (6 foot and a half inch). So how attractive are tall men and can you explain what makes them so attractive?

ChronicThinker · Answer

Tall to me as a short person is like 5'8" and up. I like it because... and I guess every man will hate me for it... but because it's deemed traditionally more "masculine" - which is a term I'll use loosely. Perhaps "strong" is better - but someone will be triggered by that too. Most women just want to feel dainty with their partner in some respect.

Its security for women. They like to feel 'safe' even though they dont understand it. Most MMA fighters are under 6 foot, so you can be trained to protect your loved one, but it's just psychological security. And if an actual fight broke out, 5 inches of legroom ain't cutting it. The shorter guy could be heavier, and more solid, and the tall guy falls like a ton of bricks with his lanky arms. It all depends, and experience matters most.
Height is the worst societal issue we are setting for the world. Just because models are tall, young girls fall in line. Clothing, tattoos, behavior, we can change; but height is forever. And I'm perfectly happy with mine at 5 8, I have friends that are 6 foot, 5 6, 5 5, and we respect each other but when it comes to dating.. it doesn't really matter for women. They dont get judged as critically for this. A very, very stupid way to judge someone, and a good way to judge someone else's intelligence if they are judging you for it.

I don't see how being tall makes a guy attractive. I mean, I understand if he is super tiny like a dwarf or a midget cause that changes your bone structure and body. But at a normal height, it doesn't really matter.

Like If you put an ugly tall guy beside a small attractive guy, I'd definetely choose the small attractive guy. There is more to a guy than height.

Mamaganja · Answer

Very attractive to me. I am taller than the average American male (5’9) and when I am with someone who is shorter than me or if I’m wearing heels and tower over a man, it makes me feel less like a woman... kinda like how it’s awkward when a male chihuahua tries to fuck a Great Dane.

PinkMichae · Answer

You are tall if you're over 6 ft.

I think both tall and short men can be attractive so it's harder for me to understand too.

But if I were to guess why most women find taller men more attractive think they think the bigger the man the more they can be protective of them.

I happen to be with a man considered short but is not only very attractive but I feel safe with if someone tried to hurt us or our kids.

Hamsteroids · Answer

It mainly comes down to the nature in women. Women see men as protectors, providers, dominate, and manly, etc. So the taller a guy is, the more of those points are hit. It’s just a psychological thing. It’s the same reason why men find smaller women attractive. They are seen more feminine etc. So yeah, it’s just the nature of it

Amyth20 · Answer

Honestly being tall is a plus point.
Like am not tall but I have dimples and People approach me much more than the tall people.
So it's just how you look in the real world.
And the stupid thought , tall people have bigger d... k is not all true. That's the only reason people get attached to tall people and later , leave them.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, taller men are attractive. But, I'm 5'11, so I'd be happy with someone at least my height.
Some of these petite girls are just selfish, lol. Wanting a guy over a foot taller, c'mon. But to each their own.
Hell, even if I were 5'2, I'd be happy with a guy my height or a little taller.

HoratioCaine · Answer

I like lean and muscular guys 5'7 and above since I'm 5'9". I would date a 5'6" dude if he was compact with muscle and had an attractive face. I will NOT date a guy that is wider than my leg length, and I will not date a guy who is physically weaker than me

KC1545 · Answer

Tall guys are VERY attractive. That being said because I’m short everyone 5’10 and taller are tall to me. I don't know tall guys are attractive to me because they look like they can protect me. Like when I hug one I feel so secure

Carbon-12 · Answer

I like to feel wrapped up and safe... Tall guy hugs do that for me.
Also being 5'10", it is nice to feel small for a change. Also I don't want to squish him.

I wouldn't say it is a big factor in physical attraction, but it is definitely there.

Anoniemus · Answer

Really tall men are a turn-off. I don't want to climb him or stand on my tip toes to kiss him.

Marina226 · Answer

I am 5 10 so I need him to be taller or the same height. But I was also crushing on some smaller guys before. And why is it that small guys are always prettier and more handsome?

Hannah_98 · Answer

I mean, I’d like a dude to at least be my height (5’8) or taller, but it’s not THAT important.

Since I’m a bit on the taller side for a girl, it makes me feel more feminine when there’s a significant height difference.

ElissaDido · Answer

If they have an unattractive face and a bad personality and no other quality, they're not hot.  But everything else equal (face, personality, etc) the taller guy is hotter.

girlzruleboyzdrool · Answer

I'm attracted to men that are taller than me and can at least carry me and pick me up for fun. Im only 5 ft 2 so it's not much of a height to beat. I dated someone only a little tallergic than me once and it was weird.

Jessea_Kane · Answer

It changes by every woman. Like I’m not attracted to tall guys at all. I don’t have a problem with shorter guys and I’m like 5’2.

Kida317 · Answer

I don't need him to be tall. Just taller than me. I'm 172, so everything above that is game. And it's not about him, but about me. I don't want to look enormous when we are together

kymberz · Answer

heck being 5"1 - everyone is tall to me. and height is important - i like tallish men - but they have to be tallish and have an athletic build, too. make sense?

nopedydoo · Answer

i think its because it makes him seem more masculine and able to protect us from danger. obviously, we dont really need any protection, so im sure its just an evolutionary instinct.

flor1003 · Answer

Girls find tall men very attractive. Usually 180+, friends with that height never really struggle with getting girls. While me and a few guys I know that are under 180 sruggle quite a bit.

Pink2000 · Answer

Well they have to have a nice face to go with the height... you can’t be ugly and tall. That’s not attractive.

Primrose21 · Answer

Rule of the thumb for every Girl is that Guys should be taller than her. So if you like a Girl and you are taller than her, you are good to go.

Anonymous · Answer

My boyfriend is around 6’5 and I am around 5’3 I find myself actually wishing that he could be a little shorter because hugs, cuddling and pictures are awkward. The most annoying thing is actually when we are standing next to each other and we try to talk to each other. His words go right over my head and mine right below his so we can never hear each other properly unless we are shouting.
Ideal height is probably 5’11
