Is it weird that I am only attracted to short and skinny girls? What do I do?

[Anonymous]

I am talking 5 foot 2 to 5 foot 4 and like 95 to 110 pounds.

I am 6 foot 2 and 180 pounds. Apparently I should be interested in women who are like 5 foot 8 to 5 foot 10 but that is just TOTALLY not the case!

And when I do meet women like this, I get the idea that they think I am too tall for them.

Is this normal, and what do I do to get these girls?

This will not likely hurt my career in any way.

This is one of my pet peeves actually, most of the taller dudes that I have met have said pretty much the same thing as you just honestly did. I am 5 foot 6 and a half. Most of my girlfriends and dates were in the five foot 3 inch range. But I am very attracted to taller women too! But most taller women or even women who are only one or two inches shorter prefer taller dudes! With high heels they would tower over me and this is a huge factor. Besides all that, society really puts women into a situation where they feel they have to marry or date up for money, power, height and just about everything else except maybe looks. Being a good looking and smaller than average Asian dude who has never had a really good job, I have done pretty good socially most of my life, despite all the disadvantages..

But that might have something to do with the fact that when I was single, I was in clubs and other public venues fishing for women around twenty five hours a week!

Nothing wrong with that at all. Everyone has a preference, but it looks like some women didn't like your question even though they didn't say it directly in their response.

[Asker]

yea. I have no idea why they would not like my question. It is not offensive in any way.

[doratheexplorer]

They didn't like it because they wish to be short and skinny *shrugs* not sure why that offends them as there are other thick girl lovers out there as well. It really bugs me when woman keep expecting men to insult us skinny people .. eh whatevs their just jealous

[Anonymous]

This is so cliché and really annoying. It's like that argument that black girls bring against black guys only dating white girls. Usually white guys don't date black girls so when black guys don't date black women...what are they supposed to do? I get that argument because as a tall girl my choices are already limited and then on top of it all the really tall guys seem obsessed with superrr short girls. I just feel like short girls that date guys like that are greedy. The last boyfriend I had was 6'4 and I was amazed at how much taller he was ...He was just 8 inches taller. A 5'2 girl could get that same thing from a 5'10 guy...I just don't get it.

[doratheexplorer]

everyone has their preferences, nothing you can do about it. some people hate skinnny girls but others seem to like it. you will find your tall woman lover one day

[peace-love-couture]

And you could get the same feeling from a 5'10 guy. Tall is tall is basically the point you just made

[Opinion Owner]

Yea that is exactly not what I was saying and I think you know that.

[justme20]

lol you are an idiot. I'm black and I have ONLY white men wanting to date me and have something more with me. I'm dating a white guy now who we plan on getting married and having kids. So for you to bring up "white guys don't date black women" not sure how this has anything to do with height but I did want to bring up you are wrong and also an idiot :) have a great day

[Asker]

You have to admit that white men dating black women is probably the least common combination.

Just saying...

[blue4439]

justme20 your situation is very rare. I'm not saying it doesn't happen or that it shouldn't happen, but it is not often that white guys date black women. And also as a tall female I'd like to say I agree with this answer

[justme20]

yes white men/black female relationships are rare but they do happen. Most white men and men in general don't care about a woman's race as long as she is an attractive female.

[Courtsrad09]

lol its not abnormal you like short girls. I'm 5'2 and almost every one of my bfs have been at least 6 foot tall. I like really tall guys. It's just a preference. And as to how to get short girls? lol were normal people like any other chicks, not like were some different species =P

[larry69]

I like this answer

[Courtsrad09]

thanks lol

[Asker]

I understand you are normal people! But you have to agree that it is very different when a guy who towers over you comes to talk to you rather than a guy at eye level. Not being close to eye level makes a HUGE difference in the interaction!

[Courtsrad09]

haha true, I mean if you're that worried about it. try walking up to a girl who's sitting down and sit next to her. that'd make the eye level thing better. I don't really notice that stuff. I mean I'm barely eye level with anyone lmao =P. I can't personally say for other girls but I know for me, id pick a taller guy over a shorter guy anyday (given they had the same personality and what not)

[Asker]

If the girl is sitting down, I cannot tell how tall she is. Also, if I limited myself to girls who appear short and skinny who are currently sitting in a public place, do you realize how much EVEN MORE that would limit the supply?

Right now in my city, there are probably 5. And 4 have boyfriends.

Now, sure I can get to know them at eye level on that first date, but that is if I ever get a first date!

[Courtsrad09]

lol I'm telling you just act like you normally would around a girl who is a bit taller.

us short girls are used to being around guys and girls who are much taller than us. we don't think wow this guy is so much taller than me that our conversation is going to be so weird because the eye level is off.

[NayaAbouzaid]

Hahaha no problem at all , I'm 5'0 ( tho I'm thick not skinny / 140 pounds) , BUT I'm short and I will tell you a guy your height is not "Too tall" , there is no too tall lol , so the short skinny girls will love your height :)

[doratheexplorer]

How is that weird? I'm short skinny and around 95 pounds! I would love it if a guy like you liked my body.. a lot of guys go for the thicker girls :( us skinny girls need some lovin!

[sammisay]

That's what I find so weird. The guys I know like thicker girls, I always hated being so skinny, yet on here it seems to be skinny is actually a turn on.

[Asker]

Skinny is always a turn on. Read posts specifically about skinny girls. And Dora, I would definitely date you. (As long as you are over 21!)

[doratheexplorer]

Ikr sammi! All the guys in my high school won't even look twice at me for having a small plump butt. :/

[Asker]

Things are different in high school for those wondering. I should have been specific. I like skinny women, not skinny girls. I don't mean to be mean, but there is a difference in that I mean I like fully developed women, who happen to be skinny.

For example, skinny on a fully developed women actually looks different then skinny on a teenager. But don't worry ladies, if you stay in shape and eat healthy you can keep looking skinny and impress the older guys when you get older.

[Prettygurl12]

I'm 5'4, 108 lbs and the boyfriend is 6'5. When it comes to girls, unless you're nearing 7ft, there's really no such thing as being "too tall". Everyone has their preferences.

[Anonymous]

As long as it's not pedophilia related... it's not weird at all.

By pedophilia related.. I mean .. girls who look like they are 9 year olds (which would be the attraction) but are actually 21 and over...

[Asker]

totally not pedophile related.

[Opinion Owner]

Then it's not weird at all.. approach them.. if they reject you it's probably 99.9% not because of your height. *if they say that, it's probably just the easiest way of saying they don't like something else.. and that just comes easier to say without mentioning what they really don't like*

[Asker]

Oh, nobody has ever said I was too tall.

But I imagine if they reject me, it is the same, they just don't want to say what they didn't like.

[Anonymous]

I don't think that's weird at all. The only think is if you're 5 ft 2 you shouldn't be under 110 pounds haha. That's borderline under weight. but no, that's not weird at all. you like who you like! I tend to like super tall guys and I'm 5 ft 2 haha

[doratheexplorer]

And how dare you think your too tall for any girl, too tall is never an issue

[Asker]

If too tall is never an issue, why do so many people seem to think I should be with a tall girl?

[NayaAbouzaid]

are those people tall girls ? plus who cares , you go after what you like , to each their own

[Courtsrad09]

tall girls are the only ones who has an issue with it lol

[Asker]

So are we under the impression that most guys like shorter girls? And thus taller girls are getting jealous?

[Prof_Don]

I don't think that's weird...you just like the shorties. :)

There are plenty of shorties that like tall guys like you so don't worry about a dating shortage.

[DragonFighter1990]

I have the exact preference even though the height doesn't matter at all too me. I also like skinny girls too except the hair color has to be either blond or brunette. Also, my height is 5'6.

[justme20]

no nothing wrong with that at all. that's your preference just like most girls prefer taller guys. I'm 5'7 and I love guys 6'3 and taller

[septimus]

not weird, just your preference. I guess...just approach a girl like that and ask her out lol. I don't think there's any 'short and skinny girl' convention happening :P

[Konnour]

To me it is weird, as I'm attracted to tall and curvy girls!

But we can get along - you can take all the short and skinny girls - I don't mind!

[Anonymous]

I'm exactly the opposite, I'm only attracted to tall women with some curves on them. But you have nothing to worry about, most girls will love your height.

[ForeverYours39]

No! You can be interested in any kind of girls regardless of how you look.

Go get them shorties<3

[pezzonovante88]

I don't really think it's abnormal. I suppose it cuts down on the selection, though. I'm only into skinny girls, as well. They don't have to be short, though.

[Yeahhbro]

you like what you like bro, don't let haters pull you down

[Anonymous]

i'm 5'2 and 95 pounds and I love guys 6 foot and over haha

[Asker]

Do these guys tend to approach you? And how do you feel when they do? Also, if I may ask, what is your ethnicity?

[Opinion Owner]

i'm indian. the guys who do approach me are usually a little under 6 foot, some are about 6'2. I like it when they approach me because I think its really attractive when a guy is a lot taller than me

[BehindTheFront]

Don't be disturbed by your tastes ! At least you know what you want !

[larry69]

I am 6 3 and only like short women usually 5 4 and shorter

[roxygirlskier]

ha so there is hope for me! I'm just barely 5 ft 2 and I always seem to find guys so much taller than me! Do you think a guy would be totally unattractive to a short girl because she's short even though he likes the other things about her?

[awesominated]

haha, it's fine! Remember the saying... 'opposites attract'? So it's all normal. ;)

[Bleep]

I love petite girls too!
