  • Yes, that's the reason. Also, those people don't have experience with petite girls in bed, because if they did, they'd know better. Most of the wildest, dirtiest, most enthusiastic and dirty-minded girls I've been with were petite girls.

  • I think size is looked at like age. I'm not to small but some older people can't tell I'm not a teen still.

  • Yes bc it reminds them of a child. Same thing with guys. on the other side, talker kids are expected to behave with as adults.

    • Taller*

  • I think short, petite women are adorable. But I don''t assume that they are innocent or naive at all. Many of them are little bad asses. I just like their appearance. They seem feminine but not child like as in under age.

  • I wouldn’t ever assume that... lol. Maybe because of assumed vulnerability due to their stature? There are small animals with defense mechanisms that larger predators won’t touch because of it.

    So to me, it’s best not to assume.

  • Someone who's smaller usually looks less harmful or dangerous, people unconciously compare that to being childlike/innocent/more naive. But just think of the fun when you get to prove them wrong

  • That makes no sense to me.
    Size of a person doesn't mean innocent or not.

    Who was it that thought you were innocent because of your body type?

  • Didn't know that was a thing. Looks don't usually give you clues to personality. Except for little guys. Little man syndrome is a thing, over compensating perhaps?

    • People tend to assume small people are nicer and more child like

    • That thought has never crossed my mind. I do get the puppy dog eyes from time to time when short women ask me to get them something high up on a shelf but I assume that's a please help look, not child like.

  • I don't think there is a connection.

  • I don't assume that, scorpions are small.

  • The child-like stature. I think a lot of guys have a naturally protective instinct where women are concerned.

  • It is because being smaller usually adds to her cuteness and if a girl looks really cute she is more likely to be assumed innocent, even if she isn't. I like small girls and when they tend to be ore aggressive than tall girls I just think of it as being playful and enjoy it, especially if they are a little sassy sometimes.
    Is that a picture of you?

  • Because our brains make snap decisions about people based on looks, experience and past influences without even knowing them. Maybe it's similar to how you'd see a tall, bulky guy as intimdating and probably dangerous. I guess it's just a result of evolution.

  • Biology. Small body looks unharmful

  • I was going to say childlike to. But you know, if anyone had any respect they should not say that to someone smaller. One guy talked to my girlfriend like that saying she's pure and doesn't know any better, and that she must be having bad sex. Well go figure that this guy was a loser who drinks his life away, seeks constant attention, always brags about how strong he is but looks like shit, and cheated on his girlfriend because she was in the army.

  • they don't

  • I do believe it is because smaller girls seem more childlike.

  • Who's the person you're using here?

  • No size has nothing to do with being innocent...

  • Smaller girls tend to be the biggest psychos in my experience.

    • Small dog syndrome 😂😂 I didn't say that 😁
