Can a tall girl be cute? Or is it just shorter girl thing?

Question

Can a tall girl be cute? Guys seem to love cute girls and prefer to date them. However Im really tall (5'11) I've never been told Im cute or felt that way.

Is cuteness something that comes with body type or actions or just style (clother etc.)?

Or is it more so that guys want to date pretty girls and cute often indicates to pretty?

Hmmm... where do I even start with this one.

For one thing, cute is about big eyes, smiling face, childlike aura, your behavior, the way you dress etc. I know quite a few of tall girls who are incredibly sweet, feminine, gentle and cute. I also know a lot of short girls who are anything but cute. And no offense to anyone, but I've noticed that many short girls tend to be kind of pushy and aggressive (which automatically makes them less attractive and feminine), probably because they feel like they won't be as easily noticed being that short.

Second, there's a special beauty that tall girls (those who embrace their height) have that is specific to them and incredibly attractive - like a glow of class, royal elegance or otherworldly beauty. Think of Nicole Kidman, Liv Tyler or Kate Middleton to get the picture. It's way more than just cuteness - a more profound kind of beauty, and I'm not talking just about being hot in a sexual way, but being beautiful in a mesmerizing, very feminine kind of way. It's a presence that you can't help but feel drawn to.

My girlfriend is tall. She's incredibly sweet and feminine and there's a certain vulnerability to her that makes me feel very protective of her. No short girls has ever had that kind of impact on me.

You can be cute, innocent and sweet if you behave that way. But don't try to look shorter. Own your height and let it add to your beauty. It's a pretty, graceful, sublime looking trait so let it work for you.

I understand what your coming from most people would say a poodle or pomeranian are cute but you don't say that to a german shepard or golden retriever. But cute and pretty are the same thing so I think a tall girl can be cute and/or do cute things just like a shorter girl.

youth and immaturity are two important aspects of cuteness. from this point shorter girls sometimes look more like teens and resemble a more immature character, So many times when you hear the word cute you see the girl has a shorter thinner appearance with average beauty, someone who shows the freshness in a childish manner rather than just youth. So taller girls though they can be considered cute relating to how they look, are less likely to be called 'cute', though I do not say they are not called cute many of them are. But mostly for a taller shape when you have the average beauty or above words like elegant, pretty, beautiful, classy, dazzling etc, is more used.
So cute 'can' be used but these kind of words is more used for a taller beautiful woman.

Hey there,
I'm pretty tall in my opinion 5ft9 to 5ft10 but I have a face with soft features, higher natural voice and I act more childlike I suppose. I get called cute often from both guys and girls who are both taller and shorter than me.
Until I dag deeper I never considered myself too tall or anything, just maybe a bit above the average. Even tho I'd love to be shorter I kinda have to work with what I've got.
I don't like being or dressing up sexy either but it's an option for us so hey, let's be grateful :3
Also tall girls don't have to be massive like many people one the Internet state. You can also look vulnerable and smaller even at that size so no worries!

I think that short height in itself is cute, which has nothing to do with whether your face is cute or not. I have one friend who's 4'11 and another who is 4'9. Neither one of them have particularly cute faces. But they're just so small, like little kids. Their HEIGHT in itself is cute, with disregard for anything else about them.

Then you have my best friend who is 5'9. She has an innocent face and shy demeanor about herself. Her height may not be particularly "cute" but her face and demeanor makes her cute. So you can be cute in different ways.

It's much easier for short girls to be cute. A tall girl can still be cute though. But it's going to be more about your attitude in this case. If you want tips, I know j-pop/k-pop girls work on this behavior for their stage presence. It's a lot of arching your back, smiling, making yourself look shorter and be more innocent.

However, tall is sexy, glamorous, and can make you a bombshell. If you got the legs, you could probably go femme fatale with skirts and up-dos. Better chance at pin-up.

Work what you're comfortable with and what works best for you. I think taller girls can feel a little inaccessible to guys, so sometimes they have to be more aggressive.

IT's possible, but literally everything else about her would need to be 'cute'.

On the other hand, its much easier for a tall girl to look 'glamourous' or like a model.

There are different ways of being attractive, you need to work the ways that work for you.

There is no correlation between height and cuteness. I know a few tall girls who are cute and I also know a few short girls who are not. Cuteness comes through your personality which is reflected through a girls actions and I don't really think it's something girls can fake, not for too long anyway because eventually your real personality will revel itself. The reason guys may prefer to date shorter girls is because they would rather be with a girl shorter than them rather than feeling like less of a man, with a girl taller than them.
I'd be lying if I said all guys didn't want to date pretty girls but being pretty and being cute are different things. You can be cute and not pretty (personality) I know ...3 girls and you can definitely be pretty and not cute haha

It's hard but it's not as if there aren't cute girls that are taller than me. But I do find girls are really cute when they are shorter than me and they have a cute smile and that haha

For me, when it comes to women, the words cute, pretty and beautiful all pretty much mean the same thing. You should be proud that you're a tall girl. There are lots of pretty and cute tall girls.

Straight up, I'd say style and attitude determines cuteness. Different guys find different things cute. I'm a lot taller than 5'11" so I for one could find that cute.

Cuteness come with primarily face, then body type and style.

It's kid of tough for tall girls to be cute. However, that doesn't mean they are unattractive. Long legs are hot.

I love tall girls and for some odd reason I've been attracted to them for the longest time, but I tend to avoid them since generally girls won't date a guy shorter than them
