Why do guys like short girls?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'11 and I've dealt with a lot of guys who turned me down for being too tall , and everyone assumes because of my height I'm too masculine , independent , dominant , manly , undesirable , I want to know why guys prefer short girls? I don't mind dating a guy shorter than me but usually those guys who are shorter and want to date me are submissive and assume I can do everything and all and I just want to be and feel cute like any other girl , unfortunately I'm too tall and when I am being 'cute ' or feminine , it comes off as dumb... sometimes I even wished I could get into a car accident and chop off my legs or something so I can be shorter but ik that sounds insane and insensitive to those who actually don't have legs... but I've been turned down a lot just for my height or looks and it's something I cannot change... and way too many people comment on it... so tell me , why do guys prefer short girls? Why is a tall girl always assumed to be so masculine?

Because most are more submissive and some even look at taller guys with that gaze in their eyes which happened to me a few weeks back, I get on a train and this 5'4 woman is being hugged by her what I assumed was her boyfriend. So here I am standing nearby, I'm 6'5 and she just stares at me so I return the eye contact and we didn't break it up for 10 seconds. Then they both got off. But in your case either go for same height or taller, I wouldn't have any problem with you since anyone below 5'8 is short for me while anyone above 6'0 is tall and you on the other hand fall under the the normal height for me and I highly prefer someone of your height since again you're in the normal category for me and I only go for women who want to be and feel like one but I have some attraction for the short women since they have that submission feature and I'm very dom but if I had to choose between a short girl and you, I'd ideally pick you since end result would be the same, I'd fuck you just as hard. So stop thinking about losing your legs and becoming shorter, since a lot people would see us as the ideal couple while with short girls, most would joke about exactly why they are dating.

If your too ugly that's understandable. Some girls are just too ugly and humans are sexual beings so get over that. However, if your too tall, don't worry. As long as your not ugly, don't intentionally act in a certain manner like being cute otherwise your just gonna fool yourself and lose yourself in the process trying to be cute. Make sure your attitude is natural as that's the best way to bringing out your genuine mannerisms. You'll want to be real when you meet other guys so don't kick yourself while your down. Unless you are ugly then you might have to do some emotional trickery. Personally, I don't care about height as long as I feel attracted to her either physically or emotionally unless their height makes them look ugly but 5'11, you'll be fine.

I don't try to be cute on purpose , Im just saying when i do cute things and am myself people are like 'you're so tall that comes off as dumb' as if I should be serious all the time.
And I'm not completely ugly but I'm definitely slightly below average face wise, so that could also be a problem lol but I've accepted that.
And also part of being attracted to someone physically is their height as well , even if you don't think that consciously , subconsciously you probably do evaluate things like that in a potential mate.

[boogieman1]

Keep doing it if it's a natural thing. It's easy as that. They'll accept you as who you are or die before that. If they don't like you they'll move away or grudgingly live with it. The circle u surround urself should accept you for who you are. If you change they'll have to accept that change or not and that's part of the risk of being in a relationship.

Subconscious thoughts do affect your judgement of attractiveness. If it bothers you then deal with it by chopping off the legs or face. It shouldn't bother you if you deem what you think as unattractive as part of genuine image.

[boogieman1]

You see, you gotta accept you for who you are along with the decisions you make. Ideally we should all accept everyone we come across with but it's not that simple cuz people got prejudices from other circumstances.

Attraction has a subconscious element in it without a doubt. It makes each person different along with making them like different things based off their past experiences in life. According to the other answers to your question, some like short girls, and some do like tall girls. If the guy you like don't like you physically, try establishing a emotional connection or just being friends.
P. S.
If he says no just call your local boogieman

i thought models had to be your height. I would love to be your height. Being short is uncool. you have no idea how quickly you can gain weight. I lost 20 pounds over the summer. ate a fry or two over the holidays, and my derriere gained 4 pounds. i like taller women. you have long, sexy legs, and clothes look so nice on you. your modelesque. i don't like being short. i have short, stumpy legs. all dresses are well past my knees, and all women's jeans have to be altered and have six inches cut off.

[Anonymous]

I think you gave the reason.
I wouldn't say most men assume tall girl are masculine, however being taller than a woman might make them feel more masculine themselves.

I have two tall friends and they are the most feminine and cute women among my friends. Their boyfriend are the same heigh and pretty masculine so I definitely don't see tall women as masculine at all.

[Asker]

Your friends are lucky they have good people in their lives , everyone around me feels the need to remind me about how unfortunate my looks are.
Plus most guys I've met in my life like short girls or at least girls noticeably shorter than them.
It shouldn't matter though , I've chosen not to date or procreate though , since I feel like I should be bred out and not spread my genetics.

[Opinion Owner]

You just met the wrong people.
It's quite extreme and the way you talk about this situation, you would be quite miserable to give up on it your entire life.

[Asker]

I don't mind I mean , I have a lot of genetic diseases anyway and I'm not good looking and I'm super tall so if my genes die out it'll be for the benefit of humanity. It's not just the height but definitely one of the reasons why.
Plus the guys I'm into all like a certain type and even if I try so hard to fit that type it doesn't work. So I'll just stick to being single forever. thanks for your opinion by the way.

[Trollmist]

I suppose you are not from Sweden because then your problem would not exist!
It's been years now, but when I was younger I dated girls that were as tall as me (6`3") 188 cm, and some taller than that...
Some guys feel powerful and macho when going out with a short girl, and some guys simply don't give a darn about how tall you are.
There will always be people who think the outside is most important, but when you find the right guy, it does not matter at all.
When I settled for life with my wife, some dudes asked why I would marry a short, chestnut hair, brown-eyed girl from the USA instead of a tall blonde. They still have a lot to learn about love... ;-)
Also, tall girls are not more masculine. They are just tall.

[justboredlol]

I feel really sad that you feel this way. Tall girls are so gorgeous and manage to look so elegant and graceful. Why do you think they choose tall girls to be models?
Plus, if a guy turns you down JUST because of your height then you dodged a bullet. Keep your head up, you deserve someone who accepts you as you are and makes you feel good :) I know plenty of guys who prefer taller girls over shorter girls, honestly. Every guy is different

[DualityGreen]

Guys generally prefer being taller to avoid an inferiority thing. Being tall in general viewed as more powerful and more masculine, regardless of gender.

I am 6'3" and my ideal match is a woman is at the height where I can put my chin on her head (right geometry for cuddles and hugs) and she has to stand on her toes to kiss me (super sexy) while I am standing. That would put her at around 5'4" to 5'7". If i was 5'8" like the average male, the preferred height would be 4'9" to 5'2".

[kickassArman]

It's not that I prefer shorter girls, it's just that girls prefer taller guys and me being 5'8", I could never date a girl taller than me and it's not that I don't find them attractive, I don't have a problem with tall girls but I assume they would just not like me.

[omegajosh]

I actually prefer tall women myself I'm trying to work the shortness of my family by getting with a tall girl. All honesty I don't care about the height I would just like to have a girl like me enough to be in a relationship with me.

[GingerGuy]

The same reason most women want tall guys I think. But height generally doesn't matter as much to us as it seems to with women. If I'm interested in you, it's irrelevant.

[jackyboyo]

I prefer short girls, mainly because I find them cuter or more attractive, but I never assume tall girls are masculine. I'm just over 6ft so I'd still think you're cute ;)

[Asker]

Still I'd be at your eye level so you wouldn't find someone your height attractive since you said you find short girls cuter,
I guess it's evolutionary for certain people to be bred out... since the norm is tall guy and short girl.

[jackyboyo]

Eye level is fine, short girls can be cuter but its not the same with every girl. And I have dated a girl who was 6ft and she was very cute and attractive. So dont worry, height may determine for some guys but if they're that shallow, they would have made shit boyfriends. I bet if I seen you, I'd think you were attractive :) I think its a dominance thing and evolution has followed.

[Asker]

Yeah its an evolutionary thing and definitely justified though I see why short girls are more desired. And no I don't blame those guys who are attracted to girls shorter than them and turned me down for that reason , or the girls who made fun of me for it , it's true and even if the truth hurts it's still valid.
And thanks , but I know I'm unattractive. But still thank you for your kind words.

[jackyboyo]

I highly doubt you're unattractive and in my opinion, you should blame them, making fun or turning someone down just because of height which they have no control over is a shitty thing, but at the end of the day, you will be stronger for it. It may be valid, but the same can be said for short girls having shit genes that can make them unathletic with short reach, doesn't mean they deserve to be given grief over it, and neither should you for being taller than them and you deserve better.

[jackyboyo]

Follow me if you ever want to chat, and carry on being cute ;)

[finesse_]

in my opinion girls are just cuter if they're shorter. I don't know why but it's sort of an innocent thing to be short but other than that height really doesn't matter to me.

[Asker]

It's an evolutionary thing I guess for short girls to be more desirable and 'cute' .

[Supertst]

Screw that, small girls tend to be scrappy and with less control (small dog complex). Tall girls are calmer, more confident, and sexier

[melendezm651]

I might prefer smaller girls but mostly every girl is smaller than me because I am 6'5 lol. It benefits both of us

[wankiam]

their loss... some of us love tall girls just as much

[Summeroflove]

Some guys love tall. You have not found the right one yet.

[Rick2367]

I've dated taller girls and honestly like taller girls

[Asker]

How tall are you? And why do you prefer taller girls? Aren't shorter girls just more attractive in general?

[Rick2367]

I'm 5 7
Why honestly the experience I had was great relationship sound weird but had great communcation dated 2 tall girls 1 moved to Alaska other had family who lived next state over she got home sick we tried to work out but didn't we still talk are good friends which haven't had with an ex
Don't get me wrong I do like short girls

[xxxtentacles]

Personally i don't find 5'11 so tall cuz I'm 6'13, but i think under 5'55 is really good for me. And most guys prefer short girls cuz they want to be taller than their girlfriend and a girl looks cuter id she's short

[fadynab1]

Can i see a picture of you? So i tell you if its right what your saying , but for me i dont care about height and i think that you have a great body

[Revolver_]

They are more submissive and feminine than taller girls

[Asker]

Oh...

[sidvt]

Message me in inbox I will tell u the reason n let's chat there

[bennythedog]

Prefer tall girls - always have, always will.

[Asker]

How tall are you? And how tall are the girls you prefer?

[bennythedog]

I'm 6.1, anything below or similar.

[lala_ray]

[RaceAgainstMachine]
