Who has it harder: Tall girls or short guys?

Question

And why? Explain your answers

rjroy3 · Accepted Answer

That's a broad question in how it was asked.
for clothes? Probably tall girls, because there is an "average" size that they don't always fit. Short girls can always shop in the "teens" section.
For finding a guy, "probably" tall girls but only because most girls want a guy their height or taller. So most tall girls already limit themselves to a smaller percentage of guys that fit their list.
Tall girls have harder time picking a short skirt that isn't showing too much because her legs are longer.
Tall girls have a farther distance to fall when they trip and faceplant, so it'll hurt more. Couple that with having more mass while wearing heels. "Ouch".

Short girls have it harder when driving. Needing a booster seat just to check your blindspot can be a hassle and also driving is less safe for people who are really short.
Short girls have it harder when it comes to picking things up off of high shelves at stores, at home that an average or tall girl could reach.
Short girls have to constantly tell people to slow down when walking together or just run.
Shorter girls often times look like a kid playing dress up, when they get all doll'd up to go out for the evening, when they were trying to look sexy.

In the bedroom it's easier to lift the short girl and you can touch would be "hard" to reach parts when multitasking with a taller girl.
Tall girls however, better "fit" when making out and so on.. buuut. A short girl can sit on your lap and fit more comfortably in that position than a tall girl. I guess what I'm saying is... it depends on what you consider being a bigger problem. It's a win win for thus guy *thumbs up* : )

I am going to say tall girls and go out on a limb to say clothes wise because I know tall guys have trouble getting clothes that fit.

Both can have it hard in different ways, but I think sometimes the "struggle" can be self-inflicted. I know a lot of short guys with great game. Why? Because they don't give a crap that they're short (or at least, they don't show it). They go around being confident and charismatic and have plenty of girls liking them. They have more girls flocking to them than half the insecure tall guys I know.

Some short guys may use their height as an excuse, and it's true that some girls just won't date short guys period, BUT if you're a confident and charismatic guy you're really probably not going to have that hard of a time getting girls, no matter your height.

Same thing with tall girls. I know some guys who won't date tall girls period, but again, don't use your height as an excuse. I highly doubt models have a hard time getting guys just because they're tall. Height really isn't that big of a deal compared to other factors.

Both have their own separate issues. But I think short guys.

Women are much more judgmental in what we want. I mean I'm as guilty as anyone. I like my man taller than me, as do a lot of women. A tall woman can at least get into modelling and then be awed for her looks. A short man can be a midget and mocked.

On this one, guys definitely fall short, excuse the pun.

It shouldn't really matter who has it worse, but from observation, shorter guys have it worse. Tall girls can be models. I've found that shorter guys would be more willing to date a tall girl, but most girls want tall guys.

heavensgift2girls · Answer

This isn't even a contest. The biggest problem most tall girls have is they want a guy at least as tall as themselves. All the girls have to do is lower their standards. The short guys have trouble getting any woman, as even shorter girls still prefer tall guys.

Bandit74 · Answer

the average height for a girl is 5'4 and the average height for a guy is 5'9

Guys in the 6ft-6'2 range are highly fetishized so even average height guys are somewhat disadvantaged. A guy starts to be at a major disadvantage in dating when he's under 5'9, especially if he's 5'6 or under that's when he's really screwed and that's only 3inches below the average but it still puts him at a significant disadvantage.

3 inches above the average height for a girl is 5'7 which really wouldn't work against her in anyway. A girls heght is going to work against her when she's 5'9 or taller and even then she is still better off than a 5'6 guy.

so I say it's worse to be a short guy.

Easily short guys. Not even a contest. A tall girl limits herself. A guy shorter than her would be willing to be with her, but most tall girls (most girls in general) will refuse to date a guy that is shorter than them. Therefore, the tall girl has options, she just refuses those options because she wants a guy at least the same height as her. No ones fault but her own.

A short guy, however, will not turn a girl away because she's taller than him. Most girls are probably the same height or taller than he is.. So, a girls height won't bother him no matter how short or tall they are. Yet, the short guy still has a tough time getting a girl because most girls only want to date a guy that is taller than them... Limiting the guys choices to only short girls... and him being limited isn't his fault since he's open to date taller girls.. but they just don't want him. which isn't his fault at all...

This is generally speaking.

Is this even a debate?

Short guys have it harder. One could easily argue that men who are technically average height - so like 5'8", 5'9", 5'10" - have it harder. I'm hardly claiming average-height men (like myself) are victims; I'm just trying to put things in perspective for you.

The only people who have a problem with tall girls tend to be the tall girls themselves. I find tall girls incredibly attractive - hell I'd even call it my preference - but my chances of being with one are very low since they themselves usually aren't interested in guys who are shorter than they are. Most girls want a guy taller than themselves.

That's a good point: Do tall girls see their situation as "difficult" simply because it's technically harder to find guys who are taller than they are? I guess that makes sense, but I hope you can at least see how cruel it is to call that "difficult" when compared with the plight of the short man.

Short guys for sure! Can short guys be models? No. Can short guys date tall women? Not usually. Can short guys claim the uniqueness that tall girls can or reach things on the top shelf? No! :(

Octavion · Answer

I think short guys have it harder. Even really short girls only want to date really tall guys which I find is weird since I along with most other really tall guys I know don't like dating girls who are really short compared to us...

LonelyLillie13 · Answer

Short guys have it the hardest because they are determined to be attractive to 100% of women, having just the "shorter than them ones" isn't good enough.

zorro8888 · Answer

Short guys by a landslide!  The majority of women want a tall guy but short guys take anything they can get lol

Canterbury_Bellz · Answer

Short guys have it harder. A lot of girls want a guy taker than them, so it's harder for short guys to get those girls. Some guys like tall girls. Also, i think it's easier for them cause all they have to do is not expect the guy to be taller

I_am_repulsive · Answer

I totally agree with the efficacy of this poll. It's definitely that much harder for a short guy. I mean their market is pretty much limited.

Redstang88 · Answer

Short guys, no question. Girls care about height, guys dont. Lots of guys like tall girls, no girl prefers a short guy.

Klaatu51 · Answer

DontDropIt · Answer

Short guys because they're the ones always complaining about being short. Rarely do you hear a tall chick complaining about being tall.

Domingo · Answer

Short guys By far. Most women won't date short guys and taller guys pick on short guys.

Anonymous · Answer

As a tall girl myself its difficult to date someone shorter than you especially when your favorite shoes are heels. It really doesn't make that much of a difference who you date height wise. But whenever u want a hug or to kiss their cheek you have to squat or bend down.

Anonymous · Answer

I think short guys, because girls normally like taller guys, though both could have it hard or pretty easy, depends on the person and the circumstances really

It must be with short guys. Coz my height is 5'10" but i have dated a girl 5'11.5" So tall girls don't seem to have much problem.

WhaChaChaKing · Answer

Tall girls are gorgeous, who wouldn't want to hit that? Now short boys are kind of a turn off, to be fair I don't like short girls either.

Short guys, most tall girls wouldn't date them, in fact most girls wouldn't date them. lol

Succcesssfulll · Answer

I feel short guys do because they feel embarrassed they can't reach stuff and they get picked on.

Anonymous · Answer

short guys. Most guys will be with tall girls. Tall girls will reject anyone shorter since they want a guy who's taller. Girls make it tougher on themselves where guys will still go for most heights
