Why don't guys like petite girls?

[Anonymous]

I am tiny. 5'1 and a size 0 and about 100 pounds. I can't help the way I look. My mom is the same way, it's my genetics. Yet, all the time I get crap for being skinny. Guys tell me, "go eat a cheeseburger." Yes, I am thin, but that doesn't mean I starve myself. I am healthy and I don't want to gain weight. I have a pretty face, but instead of being attractive, I'm called a boy because I don't have a huge boobs or a huge butt or wide hips. How am I less of a woman just because I am petite? It's not like I don't have those feminine features, I'm just not curvy like a Kardashian. Why do guys ridicule girls for looking the way they were made? I have 0 control over my curves. Why can't guys accept that? Even guys who are completely unattractive are quick to judge when they themselves are a one out of 10.

I love petite girls and I know a lot of guys who do. And I know a lot of bigger girls have said exactly the opposite of what your post said: that guys only like tiny girls with no curves, etc. and that big girls get no love.

The truth is that no matter what your body type is, there are some guys who love it, some that aren't interested in it, and a whole lot who don't really care what you look like, because they aren't that picky.

Now, some guys assume if you are very thin that you are undernourished, and if they think that, it might bother them, but as long as you are healthy and are eating right, then if you're naturally thin, you're fine. The truth is that someday your metabolism will start to slow and you'll gain weight, so being naturally thin now is a bit of an advantage.

Finally, a lot of guys your age are young and immature, and also inexpereinced with women, so they have in their mind that the ONLY girls to be interested in are the ones they happen to like, and maybe that's a VS model, or maybe Kim K types, or whatever. As you get older, guys' tastes will broaden, so you'll have more and more guys who realize they are attracted to you.

But I assure you, even at your age, there are plenty of guys who find your body type attractive. You just need to find out who they are.

I like petite girls. You can be skinny and have a nice female shape, just because your not as curvy doesn't mean you don't have any curves at all. I've always been attracted to skinny girls but also averge girls as well. Of course personality comes into play but the one girl I dated was 5'8" and must of been 120 or less, she was really skinny but had a good personality and she still had a shape, she didn't have "big" features but you don't need that to be attractive. Don't worry about it, different guys are attracted to different things so some day you'll meet the right guy for you and like you just the way you are.

Guys generally prefer curves(think hourglass shape, not so much banana or ruler shape) and I know it's not politically correct to say on girlsaskguys, but maybe you aren't pretty and your body just gives them a reason(in their minds) to be d***s

I mean, bigger girls say the same thing about petite girls "Guys only like skinny girls" yadda yadda yadda

In my area the average jean size for women is about a 12. Nothing wrong with that but I am seriously a "freak" at 5"4 114 lbs A cup. It's unusual in my area to meet a small person. Be patient. You will find a guy who accepts it and likes it. I did he married me. New "norms" can cause quite a bit of confusion but there is NOTHING wrong with you.

skinny or petite? theyre not the same thing. petite = short, small. skinny = thin, not many curves. I'm technically petite because I'm 5'3, but I am not skinny.

anyway, guys definitely do like skinny girls. what do you think the rest of the female population has been complaining about all these years? lol

[northwestree]

Everybody has different tastes.

I like petite girls just fine. My partner is built about like you are. :)

If you are not to somebody's taste there is no reason for them to be rude about it.

I am sure you can find lots of guys who will like you just fine.'

[kheserthorpe]

Uh, tons and tons of guys like girls your size best.

Some of the guys saying 'eat a cheeseburger' are just teasing.

I'd guess most guys have no clue any girl would actually be insulted by a suggestion she was 'too thin'.

[DeepBlue]

Petite is fine with me. A "fun sized" girl, as some say, can be a big turn on for guys, especially those who like the idea of being physically imposing to a girl. As long as things are in proportion I don't really care that much about height.

[bDizzie]

I like petite girls!

People who tell you to "go eat a cheeseburger" probably don't realize they are being rude.

[normalice]

maybe it is your location. if a petite girl walked up to me and started flirting, after I got over the paranoia of thinking I'm the target of some cruel prank, I would be delighted. I suppose I don't have a lot of guy friends to agree with me, so I can't say my preference is commonplace - but why anyone would find a petite girl to be anything but an irresistible temptation is beyond me.

[Joshbgosh]

Completely agreed. Especially about the cruel prank part lol.

Well I actually seem to always meet and date petite girls, its like opposites attract and girls you answer this, Is it me or do petite girls find themselves attracted to guys like 6 foot 4inchs to 6 foot 6 inches?

I am rare among my friends, but I don't know petite blonde's just example catch my eye MUCH more

[junebugj]

You actuly right their. I'm 4'7 and all my bfs have been aroung 6ft tall its seeme like small girl and big guys are just natraly atracted to eachtoher.

[Blueeyes300]

I don't think the issue is your size, I think a petite body type can be attractive. I think the issue is people are critical for a variety of reasons - jealousy, negative disposition, just being thoughtless. What counts is what you think of yourself!

[raineydaygurl]

pretty much every guy where I live prefers your body type

[taster]

I would like you just fine...exactly the way you are...us guys all like different things in a female..(:(:

[NerdInDenial]

It doesn't matter if you're on the skinnier side or the heavier side of the spectrum. Girls get ridiculed. It's better to be on the skinnier side. If you actually have a pretty face, you're going to find a guy.

I like petite girls, as for people making fun of you, maybe they are just immature and judgmental of how you look or are suppose to look. Or maybe they wish that they had your genes. I known girls who are petite and it really doesn't bother me one bit. You can't control your genes, and that something that people should realize that not everyone is going to be able to change their DNA makeup.

i like petite girls :)

[AlWoodson]

I don't have a problem with petite girls/women. As a matter of fact, I rather like them. I think they look younger and sexier longer as they get older. And besides, I like smaller boobs, any more than a mouthful is a waste anyway.

[Anonymous]

all girls are pretty =)

I don't ridicule girls on their body because that's just mean

and I know they have no control over it.

[Anonymous]

I think small and petite is just as feminine as curvacious, just in a different way.

You're a girl, you're going to have some curves, no matter how slim/small.

No worries! men like petite girls just as much as curvy ones... Be proud of your cute little self ha ha ;)

Oh! and don't listen to the guys with the "cheeseburger jokes" lol...they are likely attracted to your small size and don't want to come right out and say it.. so they joke around about it.

[dubstep]

not true AT all.

[Anonymous]

They are jealous that you are skinny
