If a guy is tall, how much more attractive does that make him?

Question

Especially if he has a fit, strong body and is handsome. Lets say 6ft+. How much more attractive would it make him?

Meh , I don't think it really matters as much as the ladies will have you believe.
OH SURE , they'll say they love it but then again... I think as long as he's no shorter than 5'9 ish , height pretty much goes out the window there.

The laws of diminishing returns eh?
wearethepractitioners.com/.../...shing-returns.png

There comes a point where additional "effort" or quantity of a value just ceases to produce any more additional benefit.

I think a person's facial structures (if we are going to be superficial about it) has a far higher potential for returns than height and stature.

There's no point of which a person becomes "too good looking" but there comes a point when there's "optimal height".

Both of which you can't change so I guess when it comes to superficial things. 70% determined at birth.

Probably better than it was before. If girls had an option to pick between same height or under 6 ft or 6 ft or taller they would usually go with 6 ft or taller. It's a no brainer. Sometimes a lot goes into play in what makes a man attractive to them. But to be on the safe side you can't go wrong with being taller that's for sure.

I agree with @Prettygurl12, that a man who isn't very handsome in his face gets an overall higher rate number if he is tall. Personally, since I am tall myself (5'10) I like men who are taller than me, preferably with more than a couple of inches but I wouldn't rule someone out if he is a great guy just because he isn't as tall as I would prefer.

It makes him more attractive in my opinion. I'm considered tall for an Asian, but im basically average height for a girl in Canada.. but Asian guys are so short and the fact that im taller and my build is bigger than theirs just makes them not attractive. So if i come across a guy that is taller than me, i just am so much more attracted to them.

For me its very attractive cse I'm tall my dad is way taller and with a tall guy there's just somethin about the way they carry themselves. a shorter guy can also be sexy but sometimes they don't want you wearing ur high heels and they lack confidence no matter what ur height is insecurity will diminish anyones attractivness

LittleSally · Accepted Answer

You know... being tall and having a good body only goes so far. I like a cute face over all those things, and a great sense of humor is even better (and more rare) - men, ad least the ones I've met, don't share my sense of humor, or don't have any to begin with...

indian_empress_91 · Answer

For me once your are 5 inches taller i like it a lot. Really tall guys just atttract me more on a physical and sexual level. Thats my honest opinion. But I just can't date someone my height I would not be attracted as much unless he had an amazing personality

Nodramaqueen · Answer

There's a lot of guys that are really tall but overall just not that appealing. So while an attractive guy gets major ups for being tall too... it doesn't help his overall attractiveness if he isn't. I don't know if that makes sense or not... to me overall features, build an personality is what it comes down to. However if I was comparing the exact same attractive guy to a shorter duplicate of himself, I'd pick the tall one so I can still wear heels ;D

Anonymous · Answer

As an ugly tall man I voted A. I have pretty good looking male friends (no homo) but they're short and they get no attention from women. I take advantage of my height with no regrets and see women as stupid and superficial, even though I prefer short women to tall ones! lmao

khodgie101 · Answer

If I guy has a nice build and is tall I find it extremely attractive

Anonymous · Answer

It's a minor attractive bonus. A fit, strong body and handsome face is a lot more appealing to me when it comes to physical attraction. Height... I've never really got the obsession. Maybe it's because I'm 5'3", so most guys are at least a bit taller than me anyway. I've dated guys from exactly my height to over 6 feet; it's not really a big deal to me.

tay554 · Answer

I find taller guys more attractive for sure !! but that doesn't mean i haven't crushed on short ones, or i'd choose one guy over the other sole based on that. but ideally tall is my go to :) (current best guy friend is 6'7'')

I like tall guys, bot I absolutely love tall guys that are gentlemen 😍😍😍 they're like handsome gentle giants I find it adorable

DivaMonae · Answer

Though I am attracted to tall guys...

Being tall isn't going to make a guy attractive if you're attractive then you're attractive and if you're not then you're not.

A guys height isn't going to change that.

PhantomLights · Answer

I'm 5' 8'. That makes him 4 inches taller than me. So 4x more atractive to me. There you go, your own 'for sure' attraction scale.

I'm just kidding. What I'm saying is: It's different from woman to woman.

Lee38 · Answer

For me I am a tall girl 5 11 my boyfriends were taller except for one who was the same height as me. Husband is 6 1. In my experience I think I feel more feminine if my guy is taller because I'm no small thing myself lol

Mustachekitteh · Answer

My guy is 5'4"(1.6meters) I would be sad if he became any taller since I'm only 5ft. I rather not have to get a foot stool just so I can kiss him. XD

been_waiting · Answer

if he's unattractive, he's unattractive at any height.  If he's attractive, I'd say it makes him a bit more attractive to be tall.

musicbrain5 · Answer

Honestly to me it only boosts his attractiveness a little bit. Sometimes not at all. I'm already 6'1" myself.

udolipixie · Answer

If a guy is tall, how much more attractive does that make him? D. No attraction bonus For me a guy doesn't get extra points for being tall rather he gets a lot of points deducted for being short.

NnM6290 · Answer

It doesn't really matter to me. I have a crush on a guy who is slightly taller than me I'm under 5'3" and he's about 5'4" I'm totally crazy about him. It just depends on the individual guy

PsyNoodles · Answer

This question makes me feel good about myself xD I'm 6'3 and hate the fact that i bump into like everything there is to bump into. But yay I guess it's more of a plus than I thought xD

biracialQT · Answer

Tall fit guys are so hot wjen they're fit AND tall, the face and personality instantly become half as important as before. It's like it blinds me for everything else around!

clouds-spaces · Answer

take President Lincoln as a perfect example. he was already extremely smoking hot, and then he was tall. That's like 5 extra points. he was so hot some guy ended him out of jealously.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

Significantly more attractive. If he's a 4 but then is also tall then he's at least a 7.

UberTroll · Answer

That would actually make him less attractive to me. I don't like guys who are that much taller than I am.

sweetestxemily · Answer

it depends if you had a good personality. without that then you wouldn't be worth the neck cramp to look up. lol

Darkroses · Answer

Personally, height isn't a huge thing for me. But I know it is for other girls.
I'm rather short, (5'1"!!)
So I only really mind if the guy is shorter than I am. If he's taller, big deal, everyone is taller than me.
I don't really care how much taller he is. As long as he's taller than me.

MissBex95 · Answer

It really all depends. I think this whole idea of guys having to be over 6 ft is ridiculous, i'm around 5'6 so as long as a guy is like one or two inches taller than me it's cool lol

Findingmyway · Answer

Taller then me is an attraction. I'm 5'6"  I like him around 6' I love to kiss standing sometimes so like to be able to do comfortably and our heights compatible.

KianaLinay13 · Answer

If a guy is tall they're immediately more attractive to me but personality always come before looks for me. If he was tall but had a terrible personality, I'd keep on walking.

reids009 · Answer

I don't really think height makes that much of a difference. As long as he's taller than me I hardly take notice. I'm pretty short, though, so I don't know that I'd want to date a really tall guy (over 6'1 or so), because there'd be too much of a difference. I would imagine that for taller girls, those around 5'7 - 6', a guy's height would be pretty important. For some reason we (girls) like to feel smaller than our guys, and height is a big part of that I guess.

It's biological that the female brain seeks a strong male figure to protect them. In the end, just like the dinosaurs, the strongest male is allowed to become their mate and produce strong offspring.

I think if the guy is attractive in general, height is a pretty good bonus. 6'4 and girls that have asked irl seem to get all excited about it lol.

abbynormal67 · Answer

It may just be because I am so tall, but guys that are over six feet are considerably more attractive.

Monicaa7690 · Answer

Personally, I think guys that are 6ft or over are a bit unattractive. I'm very short myself, so I'd like someone around 5'6 or 5'7.

Just a little higher than average is good and more attractive but higher more than that is not a bonus.

Height can only do so much if you got an ugly face, body, personality, dick,  etc .

No attraction bonus. Being over 5'8'' (my height) will get you a slight attraction bonus, but its really not a big deal.
