Are short guys automatically less masculine?

Can short guys be masculine?

Obviously they can't stack up against taller stronger guys and be beaten up in no time. So does that mean short guys are automatically less masculine?

Short guys are sexy! A lot better in better between the sheets too! Other dudes think that a short guy is less masculine or tough but, I don't. personally, I have seen some tall guys get beat up by shorter ones not just in street fights but, in professional boxing matches as well. The sad thing is that women always snub the short guys (even the really handsome ones ) for tall guys. All for what? So you can have tall kids some day? Bullshit.

Yep usually.

But talk guys also look less masculine. They look lanky and awkward.

Not really. Who cares if a guy is short he can work out and become muscular.

[BustedKnuckleBoy88]

Absolutely not. You know the actor Danny Trejo? Well he has played some of the meanest, most bada** characters in movies and in television and his height is around 5'6 or 5'7. Plus take a look at his physique, the dude has spent some time in prison so I'm sure he is able to take on guys far bigger than him.

Being tall is a masculine trait. Being short is a feminine trait. It is obvious height does play a role in determining how masculine you are perceived. That said, height is only one of many factors that determine how masculine a person is.

Most people look basic, have average style, go for same trends. If you take two people like this then sure, the tall one will look more masculine, just because that is the only manly trait there. If you're short and muscular, and have a masculine face/body. you will be perceived as 10x manlier than anyone taller than you, even if the tall guy has muscles too, just look at the words used on muscular short people, and tall people. The short ones are usually called "stocky, stout, tanked, broad" but a tall guy will be called "lean, athletic, fit". So inherently if you are a masculine short man, genetically your muscles are more compact and large looking so you will look much more masculine than a tall man with the same percentage of muscle. I'm 5'8 and have never once been told I didn't look manly. I have always been told I looked like a jock, a linebacker, things of that sort, but I'm also 16 turning 17 so whatever, I do get insecure about my height but reminding yourself of what I just told you helps.

Not at all! Plus I've seen short guys who are really muscular.

Not necessarily. Especially if he still has that v-shaped manly body build or a stocky, big upper body.

Masculinity is associated with height so I'm guessing so.

[Anonymous]

Wow, there some very stupid and close-minded people on GAG. Guys and girls!

[MeMeCrushingOnEm]

Yes, but to me it doesn't matter. Sometimes

[DrewCali]

Masculinity is NOT a function of height.

[Anonymous]

[COCOCHANEL]
