Is it harder to be a tall girl or a short guy?

Question

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Accepted Answer

I would think a tall girl has it harder. Short guys can still find girls close to his spectrum or even below and in many countries, what constitutes short can be more generous for men. Whereas if we're talking Gwendoline Christie tall for a woman, that's such an anomaly in females and only a few percentage of men will have the height needed to be viable or attracted. Even so both men and women respectively face a setback in their reduced appearances of masculinity as a short male and femininity in tall females.

It's harder to be a short guy.
Case in point- the man on the picture next to Alessandra Ambrosio is 5'9", he is statistically average in reality.
But since he is standing next to a woman who is 1cm taller than him and in heels, his entire presence on the internet boils down to him being "the short guy".

Women have to be humongous before anyone takes issue with their size, for a man, simply being average in height is already considered being inadequate.

What is with the Constant need to compare the Genders, who has Life Worse? Neither gender is worse off than the other It's each person's individual perception of themselves that puts that Ridiculous Label on the Genders!!! If you're a Woman or Man having a Rough Life ymtake a Look at Yourself and leave the Ither Gender and Leave Others out of the Equation all Together!!! No matter what has happened in ones life it is YOU that's making the Choices NOW!!!

Short guy undoubtedly. Plenty of men desire tall women. Whereas short men aren't even represented on the Body Positivity campaign. Short men really have it the worst here.

razelove · Answer

Well, tall women make me harder... OH! lol

Avicenna · Answer

It's much, much harder to be a short guy. Guys aren't as concerned about height in the first place and with models being tall, tall women have cachet and elegance. Being tall is only a problem for a woman if she is extremely tall and is self-conscious about it.

mattdzz · Answer

It's harder to be a short guy, as any superficial viewing of a hundred dating app profile will have a requirement by appx. 1/3rd of girls who require a guy to be over 6 feet, with probably all requesting the guy be taller than her, while guys will not have any such issues with a girls height.
Realistically we don't care if you're 5 foot or 6'2, as long as you're attractive and are good girlfriend material.

Jjpayne · Answer

It's a good question... I'd argue to say short guy. Taller girls are still very attractive. But being short has its disadvantages it's also an idea where how can a guy take care of me when he is shorter than me. Ones about appearance the other is a physical disadvantage to the guy. I think across genders being taller has disadvantages but overall it's better on average for both genders to be taller. Even though appearance wise it's not always as cute

HawkPerception · Answer

Hmm tough one. I personally wouldn't date a girl taller than me and I think many men agree with me. And I think it's the same for women and guys that are shorter than them. However, I would still say that women generally have it easier as long as they're physically attractive. But I guess the same can be said about short men as long as they're charismatic, funny and have some money to their name. Overall, I'd say it's only a little harder to be a short guy than a tall girl.

Stoner710 · Answer

I think it would be harder to be a short guy. Somebody as I thought the hottest girl in high school was a 6’3 tall blonde girl probably Swedish heritage. As far as dancing is not involve grinding it’s a lot harder to dance with a shorter girl like The waltz ( ex girlfriend wanted to take ballroom dancing so I did it with her)

NineBreaker · Answer

As far as dating is concerned, I think things are a little easier for taller women: More likely to find a man who is taller, or shorter/same hight willing to date her.

As far as clothing is concerned, it would be significantly easier for a ahort guy to find clothes that fit.

VIVANT · Answer

I think you don’t need to compare women to men

tall women and short women BOTH face challenges. But both find niche of men that are attracted to them.

I think large boned women vs short man is more comparable.

Lightning8 · Answer

Short guy. If you're a tall girl, you're still living life on girl mode and so the oopposite sex still approaches you. And you don't have to convince them with your lifestyle, philosophy, friends, success, confidence, etc.; as long as you're somewhat symetrical, they just care about YOU in vast majority of cases. It's much more simple to get a dog to unconditionally love you and be loyal to you in that way, than a cat.

Kiran_Yagami · Answer

Definitely a short guy. Most guys don't give a damn if a woman is taller than him. It's the other way around that's the problem. Women are the ones who insist on height requirements. Tall girl syndrome is entirely self inflicted when they insist on only dating men taller than them still. Enjoy narrowing your dating pool to non-existent.

devilish-cutie · Answer

MUCH harder to be a tall girl. They are gawked at, and I imagine its very difficult to find clothes, get dates, etc. There are many more attractive short girls on the market than very tall, attractive men, I believe.

Ummmmmmm222 · Answer

Im 5'11, but that never hurt my chances with a women taller than me. I think the real challenge is if someone is unattractive. Thats just my opinion though..

AaronKrieger · Answer

Short guy, since tall for a girl is very broad (5'8 is considered tall for a girl which isn't that tall) and you're still going to be attractive.

The tall girl has more choices, in that she has the option of dating shorter guys. (She probably won't want to, but...) Short guys options seem strictly limited by height.

tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ · Answer

Short guy for sure, taller girls have bigger boobies and shorter guys have shorter penises. The demand for big boobies is high, but when it comes to short penises I don't think many are into that sort of thing.

Anonymous · Answer

Short guy because it's actually a "deal breaker" for a lot of women they say, where guys are usually not that picky (if she was to actually approach them). Unless the short guy is rich and/or famous.

Depends whether the tall girl is willing to date guys shorter than herself. Most girls refuse to do that, so they automatically rule out the vast majority of single men.
