Why do tall guys like short girls?

[Sweetnessxoxo]

My boyfriend is 6’2 and I am 5’1 I feel like a midget next to him 😂 but he thinks it’s cute i think. I constantly find myself wondering like isn’t he too tall for me or something because i’m not used to men that are that much taller than me even though it’s always a good thing for a guy to be tall lol i just feel a little awkward but i like him a lot and still find him attractive. Are there any reasons why a lot of tall guys like short girls is sex better or something or maybe they feel like they could protect her?

[VIVANT]

I’m curious too and none of the answers are really addressing the major height difference. I understand guys often like to be taller, but A Rey tall guy doesn’t need to go real short , for a woman to be shorter.

Men wanting to be taller, doesn’t explain why super tall men Will often go for super short women.

Many men end up with women a bit Shorter then them, their height, or taller.

So a guy going for over a foot difference, isn’t simply a “ guy thing”.

Now.. a possibility is guys tend to like shorter women i e around 5 ft - 5 ft 5 .. A woman between 5 ft and 5 ft 5 is that same height, whether the guy is 5 ft or 7 get himself. So the Super tall guy isn’t going after a woman over a foot shorter. He’s just going after a Woman at a height he finds attractive. Which is slightly different then wanting to be 2 feet taller.

im sure some guys really like the feeling of being two feet taller,

but that isn’t the same as, wanting to be somewhat taller

not is that the same as , finding a particular height attractive.

A 7 foot guy is going to be somewhat taller Than 6 ft 7 woman.

A 5 ft guy is going to be somewhat taller than a 4 ft 10 woman.

A 7 ft guy is going to be a LLT taller than a 6 ft Woman.. so why does he need to go for a 5 ft woman. He either likes the height difference or he likes the height.

but every guy isn’t with a woman drastically shorter.

of course a shorter guy has difficulty finding drastically shorter women. So I don't know would most men prefer to be drastically taller if they could?

pills say no. I think it’s a preference some guys have. I’m still not sure why. I’m just speculating.

But what I know is it is not simply bc men like being taller, bc

1 not all men do like being MUCH

2 this was a question about being MUCH taller. Not just taller

I thjbk the question is being answered, as if you are asking why do men like dating shorter women.

I want to know why The extreme difference is sought after. I’m very curious!! 😊

I personally I do think it looks fun. It’s never going to be me unless I meet an alien. I like Being close in height but honestly, I would like to know how it feels to be tiny compared to the guy 🤷‍♀️😊

[Sweetnessxoxo]

It feels kinda awkward lol but being in his arms is nice and hugs too feel cute. Usually i would be okay with dating a guy that is 5’10 i’m not one of those girls that expect every guy to be above 6ft but it just happened

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Everything of mine is tiny compared to his hands are wayyy bigger than mine and his feet are also wayyyy bigger than mine it’s kind of like I’m a little girl lol

[VIVANT]

Lol I think some guys like that 😁

[VIVANT]

Is that you in the picture?

[VIVANT]

I’d assume not but it kind of looks like you I mean not exactly but I can imagine it with a hat on lol

[VIVANT]

No I suppose she’s older than you. I don't know can’t tell it’s a pic lol

[Sweetnessxoxo]

It’s fergie lol

[VIVANT]

Oh haha I don't know I try not to take pics too seriously they are always complicated 😛

But I just thought it was a bad pic of you you are much prettier lol I can say it now since I know it isn’t you 😂

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Thanks 😂

[VIVANT]

Also now this isn’t exactly the same but it can be relevant.. so for me I’m talk. And whenever little cute people are friendly with me I kind of feel honored like they are letting me into their world.

Even though stereotypically guys are supposed to be “ tall” many are not and smaller ones tend to be more coordinated and you dk what jus earlier life was like. Maybe he grew up 6 2 by 6 the grade and was teased 🤷‍♀️

20s are not so far from high school , that stuff doesn’t still sting. A grown person being a normal tall height, it doesn’t mean they can never feel out of place...

they may like feeling accepted by little cute people. It might be confirming or something make them feel trusted and less oafish.. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Lol yeah maybe

[VIVANT]

Ah.. maybe subconsciously do the babies are not 7 feet tall. Health problems from too much height plus it’s inefficient to have so much height to feed when you get the same job done shorter.

[VIVANT]

If that was on propose thank you for MHO. 💜💜💜

[WhiteShoulder]

Perfect height for giving oral...

(Mostly) kidding :-). I think it's cause they feel cuddly and protective toward them. But I'm not 100% sure.

[FakeName123]

In german you call them "Standgebläse".
Stand = standing. Gebläse comes from blasen = blowing.
Aka a girl who can blow a guy while standing. Yes, we have an actual word for it.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

@FakeName123 lmao

[WhiteShoulder]

Thanks girl 😊. Ur not ready yet, but maybe someday u and him can take advantage of that height difference.

[ZackBan]

Trust me short girl is not a preference. Obviously it's better than a very tall girl like 6'4 + but usually guys don't mind height and so they would go for a short girl not because she's short but because of who she is. At least it's that way for me and I'm 6'3

[PrettyRegular]

No we don't. Ur just silly.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

In the US they do

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Guys are crazy about short girls here especially if they are attractive or thick

[PrettyRegular]

Okay. To me it's a clear turn on if the girl is around 6ft.

[whipitout]

Just because I find it interesting and it's kinda relevant - there have been studies (although not very many) done on the effects of height in same-sex and opposite-sex interactions such as passing by each other in a narrow space (to see who gives way to the other) and avoid other pedestrians on a crowed street. They did find that taller people (men and women) were more likely to go first while the other gave way to them and other similar findings. But that being said, that doesn't explain why. There are biological models we can look at though that would suggest that the larger the female perceives the male to be, the more she will be interested in him, so perhaps men often like shorter women because they sense the women are more attracted to them? Although that's just a thought, no science behind it that I'm aware of.

[devilman666]

I think it's mostly about power fantasies. It's easier to feel in control of a short girl, especually if she is shy and lacks confidence. Its very similar to having a small child with you, someone smaller who you have to protect and who you have total control/dominance over.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Yeah i am super shy

[devilman666]

Be careful then, he'll probably become controlling.

[leonidas69]

You worry about anything and you can't say you're use to men in any way. Some men like short girls, tall girls, blonde, smart, nerdy whatever... people like different things. Reasons I like short girls are:
- throwing around sexually/bdsm
- squeezing for hugz
- small spoon cuddles

[Sweetnessxoxo]

What do you mean by throwing around sexually 😂?

[Sweetnessxoxo]

So is sex better with short girls or something is it a common fantasy for guys to have?

[leonidas69]

Heavy women are harder to lift and riskier to throw on the bed. Shorter is typically lighter and I have eaten women out standing up, pinning them against the wall. If I decide I want to change position instead of having to tell them what to do I can make them do it etc...

[leonidas69]

You completely don't understand simple preferences?

I never said sex is better with short women.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

I was just confused lol I’m always confused

[leonidas69]

Your logic skips steps sometimes because you focus on things accidentally. You get stuck in your own head.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

I guess

[VIVANT]

she Asked a question just answer question. Just Without the psycho babble. Everyone is in their head when they are trying to understand a personal situation. She isn’t stuck. she’s just asking opinions. What you said could easily have been interpreted in more guns one way. So you just clarify Yourself Like a normal person- Bc you were the one giving an answer so Logically of course you should want to be understood-, without and lying her.

[leonidas69]

I am not psycho, don't babble or lie and I did answer the question. 😂

[AaronKrieger]

Not sure why others do, but I'm tall and I don't like short girls that much. I'd prefer if a girl is closer to my height or just tall as well. I'll date someone that's short depending on how short they are. If she's a foot shorter than me or more, then I likely wouldn't date her, since the height difference would be too much for me unless I liked her a lot.

[friendlymbflirty]

I don't know about why taller guys like shorter girls, but I know I like taller guys because I like that when I hug them they cover my whole body. And that when we kiss they have to come to me and it's super cute when I have to go up on my tip toes. And I feel more secure and protected with them. Oh and when I steal their clothes I look adorable in them bc they're all long and comfy.

Also the perfect dance partner is at least 6inches taller than you.

[MrTuxedo]

I, as a 6'7 tall guy, like short girls, even at your height. Why? Well in all honesty, height doesn't play such a big role in finding girl attractive or not. If I find her face, body and personality attractive, it won't matter that much if she's 5'1 or 6'2. I've dated a girl close to your height, it did look kinda funny in public but I didn't mind :)

Wouldn't want a girl taller than me tho ;)

[October808]

Maybe bcause a tall guy and a short girl may produce an average height human. Thus leading to variety in the species. Where as a tall guy and a tall girl may just produce another beanstalk as tall or taller than either of them. Same with a short guy and a short girl. Possibly.

"While the ideas and techniques presented here have worked for others. No one can guarantee they will work for you."

[VIVANT]

Yeah this at least tries to answer the actual question lol 😊

[October808]

@VIVANT Thank you.

[VIVANT]

👍🏻☺️☺️

[Ripper_E]

Makes them feel bigger and stronger
Men don't like having their masculinity challenged by women, like how they don't like being beaten at sports, or that's always been a thing.
Women prefer taller men, probably for the same reason.
I don't care too much for preferences.

[VIVANT]

If it’s bc “ men” don’t like having masculinity questioned , then why don’t “men” want women shorter. Many don’t and or don’t care. So it first follow.

[VIVANT]

Does not folllow*

[Ripper_E]

@VIVANT I think at a certain point, men cease to care.
I wanted things when I was a teenager than I don't care about now.

[VIVANT]

I guess if you added “when younger“ or something.. I probably wouldn’t have questioned it bc that’s plausible and no contradiction 😊

[Ripper_E]

@VIVANT because i'm not referring to any particular range in terms of age. I just know what people prefer or what people like tends to change with time.

[VIVANT]

right but you didn’t say “men at some point”.

You said “men “

That is a very differnt statement

[VIVANT]

“ some men at some point don’t like feeling as if what they think their masculinity is, is in question.. and for some men, that means being much bigger than their gf”

[VIVANT]

.. is very different than saying “ men don’t like having their masculinity questioned “

I’m not having a go at you.. . I was just explaining why I had asked want you meant 😊

[Ripper_E]

@VIVANT Yea I know you aren't lol
I was generalizing. Not actually referring to ALL men.

[VIVANT]

Cool 👍🏻😛

[SarahsSummer]

I dont know but I’m happy he does and I love a big strong guy to envelope me. I’m 5’3” and he’s 6’4”.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Wow you guys have the same height difference as me and my boyfriend lol

[SarahsSummer]

yup and it's great!!

[Sevenpointfive]

it's funny that you blame this on the guy. they can't help being tall just like you can't help being a midget. so why is a midget attracted to a giant?

[Sweetnessxoxo]

I’m not a midget lol 😂

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Amd I don’t blame it on him i think tall men are hot but it also feels a little awkward because i feel so tiny

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Regardless i still find him attractive and I don’t like anybody else

[Sevenpointfive]

ok. so you're asking why a giant likes a midget. i get it. i would think domination. like a cat with a mouse

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Lmao that’s a nice way to put it

[Sevenpointfive]

in my experience tall girls only date tall guys because they don't want to look weird in public. it's the same thing with average height girls wearing high heels with a guy who's the same height as the guy they are with. girls are mental

[R4vedave]

I imagine they just like the drastic juxtaposition. Makes them feel big and strong maybe? I'm not sure, I honestly prefer taller women lol

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Is sex better that way? Do they have like sexual fantasies or something?

[R4vedave]

I'd guess that it's a slight fantasy, the stark contrast between big and small can be somewhat sexual in nature.

[smalls95]

I’m 4’11 and pretty much ever guy is substantially taller than me. I tend to date taller guys. I think tall guys just find us adorable and I kind of like feeling small in their arms. I don’t know, opposites attract I guess.

[niteshumrao]

Yes I support u

[AkwardGuy]

I'm 6'5 and this is just me, but short girls are a turn on for me, I really like the petite body style.
I've dated a girl at 4'11 who barely came up to my chest, she said she really liked my height because it felt like I could protect her.

I might just be weird, but I prefer the shorter girls, because they make me feel big and strong when they go "oh your so tall! I bet you could carry me with one arm!" (Which I can)

I have no problems with any height of girl really, but I'm just weird.

[Pix3l]

No clue. Might be dominance thing?
Either way it's stupid. Leave the 6ft guys for us taller girls XD

[devilman666]

That'll never happen, short girls are greedy.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

I don’t care about height it just ended up happening

[devilman666]

That's what all women say, but then you look at their dating history and they've never even been attracted to a man who was shorter than 5'10" xD

[Sweetnessxoxo]

@devilman666 the other guy i was interested in was 5’9

[devilman666]

Wooow, I stand totally corrected. It's like a guy saying, "I dont care about attractiveness, I once dated a girl who was a 5 out of 10.". 5'9" is the average height for men in the usa.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

@devilman666y my type are guys that are average height and tall lol

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Everyone has a type but if i really love someone none of that physical stuff matters i dated or kinda dated a chubby guy once and i really liked him despite me not usually being into chubby guys

[devilman666]

Kinda greedy, isn't it? Tall girls have a preference too, but they can't find people taller than themselves because short girls like you steal all the tall guys.

That's kinda normal, most women dont care much if the guy is chubby. You said you don't care about height, but clearly you do, you go for guys who are much taller than you. It's like me saying, "I dont care about weight, I was once interested in a girl who weighed 170lbs, my current girlfriend is 130lbs" (170 is the average weight for a woman who is 20 years old or older)

[devilman666]

Like, you could date a short guy, who is 5'5", and because of how short you are he would still be taller, but that's not good enough for you. Instead you take the tallest guy you can get and force tall women to date shorter guys.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

@devilman666 i just told you that if you truly love someone it doesn’t matter what preference you have

[devilman666]

Women always say that, but somehow they never fall in love with short guys. Guys who are below 5'8" are absolutely fucked.

[Sweetnessxoxo]

@devilman666 dude my uncle is 5’6 and he even managed to cheat on his wife any guy and get a girl with the right personality

[Sweetnessxoxo]

That’s what i heard

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Also nobody judges guys for not liking short girls which is weird

[devilman666]

Probably because most guys prefer short girls. I judge men for refusing to date tall women. I've dated a girl who was below 5' and I've dated a girl who was almost 5'10", I'd be willing to date a taller girl, but I haven't met very many women taller than me.

[devilman666]

I didn't say it's impossible, if you're confident and have a good job then some women will always be attracted to you.

[VIVANT]

@devilman666

I’d be interested to know if really tall guys more often date shorter women than average height guys, or if it only seems that way bc they are so tall.

Lije is it list guys are going to go for a woman of average height - which is short if you are 6 ft or above. And so it only looks like tall guys like really short women.. or do they actually go for shorter than average specifically.

Snd maybe shorter than average women like taller than average guys bc between them they have s normal height. Dk

[devilman666]

www.newscientist.com/.../

I think the majority of guys of all heights prefer shorter than average women. That link shows that shorter than average women have easier time in relationships.

Personally I don't really care about height, and I mean that honestly, when I like a girl I don't even notice how tall she is. To be fair I'm 6'1", so most women are short compared to me, but I care more about personality than height. Like I said, I've dated a girl who was below 4'11" and I've dated a girl who was 5'9", I think I prefer women closer to my height because they're easier to kiss, but that's the only reason why I prefer one over the other.

[VIVANT]

@devilman666

I was really just curious if really tall guys like really short girls, or if it’s simply most guys like short girls. I was curious I wasn’t worried. I mean I’m used to my height lol

[VIVANT]

Thanks for the info 😊

[devilman666]

You're welcome. Sorry, I just figured I'd share my feelings on it, I guess that wasn't necessary though.

[VIVANT]

I find it odd that models are tall when smaller women are seen as attractive.. I know they say its bc the clothes fit tall better but no one would say that if guys just used shorter. Women and men used to be shorter and there were still models lol

Sane with being severely underweight. Just use healthy not obese or malnourished people.. then that will be “ what works”

lol I remember reading a designer who was Ike we are not drs it is not our problem if the models are mal nourished. We create art and it just be magical.. normal bodies are not magical.

I mean if he’s the designer he should work on making magic that does not kill people 😛

[devilman666]

www.elitedaily.com/dating/short-vs-tall/1104880

Tall is seen as a confident eye-grabbing kind of beauty, where as short is seen as more of an insecure, shy, and motherly/nurturing type of beauty.

[VIVANT]

@devilman666

Yeah.. but Only bc we attach that kind of meaning to it.

[Kurαȷ]

Basic evolutionary psychology.
Biggest mates pair with the smallest ones to maximize survival and reproductive potential.

In other words, big guys like tiny girls because tiny girls benefit from big guys the most.

[VIVANT]

It’s not just to avoid small babies.. it also keeps the babies from being 7 feet tall. Health problems arise from too much height, plus it’s inefficient Economically to have so much height to feed when you get the same job done shorter.

[BeMuse]

They are easy to stuff in the overhead compartment when you go on vacation.

[whipitout]

10/10 answer 😂

[BeMuse]

@whipitout Nothing to see here TSA… It’s just my clothing... I'm going to wear her all night...

[whipitout]

Would that clothing be considered feminine? 😅

[BeMuse]

@whipitout Women are always saying they want a guy that can embrace their femininity… That’s always what I figured they meant.

[whipitout]

Now that's a good answer if I've ever heard one! 😂

[Non_Serviam112]

For me it makes me feel like I could protect her, but also it makes them look more cute and feminine, I personally find short and tall woman attractive, with tall woman it feels like the roles have been switched, I'll let you imagine that XD. But I do enjoy more assertive woman but I also enjoy the more feminine girls, I don't know I'm debating which is better.

[HoratioCaine]

it's a dominance thing. they're intimidated when women are almost their height. I'm the same height as a lot of guys lol I think American men are getting shorter since I used to think white guys were tall

[FakeName123]

Lol. You girls with your intimidation. You could be 10 ft tall and you would still not be intimidating.

[HoratioCaine]

@FakeName123 it's true from what I've seen you sauerkraut

[FakeName123]

Stop trying to date wimps then. That might be a better idea than assuming all guys are intimidated by a womans height. lol

[Nahid1707]

I think they should date taller girls
I read and hear how much they find it difficult to find a partner haha

[Sweetnessxoxo]

Tall girls have a harder time finding partners?

[Nahid1707]

They can yes

[GayLoner]

Maybe because short girls like tall guys now why could this be? Hmm maybe shirt girls feel feminine and small near a tall man and he feels big and masculine near her

[Sweetnessxoxo]

I like average size guys lol i don’t care if the guy is under 6ft girls like that are too picky
