MaxManwell Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 How attractive is tallness ? Like if you see a big tall guy, is that automatically attractive ?

I am who I am Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Like if you see a big tall guy, is that automatically attractive ? Not to me, but then again, I'm not into men.
Prodigal Princess Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Put it this way; I've never heard a woman say she wanted a guy who was "short, dark and handsome."
spookie Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I never saw the big deal with tallness until I started dating the guy I'm with now. I don't know if I'm attracted to him and that's one of his characteristics and that's why it's so hot, or if it makes him hot, or what, but I like it.
BrooklynBridge Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm 6'4" - 185lbs. Women throw themselves at me all the time. Sucks to be tall and attractive........and arrogant!
carhill Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Just work a bit more on the sarcasm Yes, IME, tall men are more often approached, as well as their opinions/assertions more often respected amongst peers. Height can be perceived as a dominant characteristic and often is. I'm kind of in the middle at 5'11", and had a shorter father who was admired and respected, so can sorta see things from both sides. I think a real determining factor for many women, at least when I was dating, was hair. I looked much taller when I had hair
grogster Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 In talking to many women over the years, mostly college educated professionals, I can safely say that height matters. I'm 6' 2" and I count my lucky stars. When I dated online, my M-dates complained that men mostly lied about their height, age and hair--in descending order of frequency. While height does not make the man, often it gets his foot in the door. After that, he's on his own.
marlena Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Wow,Groggie, 6' 2", huh? You can put your other foot in through my door any time!!!
Trialbyfire Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Put it this way; I've never heard a woman say she wanted a guy who was "short, dark and handsome." Height isn't the defining factor for attraction. There are just as many, if not more tall arseholes, as short ones.
BrooklynBridge Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Height Isn't The Defining Factor For Attraction. There Are Just As Many, If Not More Tall Arseholes, As Short Ones. +1 .
Author MaxManwell Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 I'm tall and I love small women I always thought I got a better reaction from shorter girls.
BrooklynBridge Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm tall and I love small women I always thought I got a better reaction from shorter girls. I used to think that way too. Remember, I'm rather tall. Over the years, I've gotten a much much stronger reaction and attraction from really tall women. They have it a lot harder when it comes to meeting guys who are taller than them, for a variety of reasons which I am not in the mood to type. But, I can assure you that the taller women really really dig on tall guys so that they have someone they can actually look up to.
Ruby Slippers Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm tall, and I am most attracted to tall men. However, that's only one factor. One of my exes was 6" taller than me, but we didn't have much sexual chemistry. My boyfriend now is just 2" taller than me and he oozes sex. He's way sexier than any of my previous lovers, and the connection is electric. Oh, and when he and I first started dating, another guy was after me. He's 9" taller than me, but he just didn't excite me like my boyfriend does. So I picked the guy 7" shorter but way more attractive to me in many other ways.
blind_otter Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 How attractive is tallness ? Like if you see a big tall guy, is that automatically attractive ? Height isn't all that important to me, actually. Nor is it to my bestfriend. I've dated men that ranged in height from 6'7" to 5'6". I'm 5' tall, even. The truth is, I actually found that sex tends to be better with men who are shorter (for me, at least - my bestfriend who is 5'4" also prefers to have sex with shorter men). I think it has something to do with the physics involved. The worst sex I had was with banana-hands, as I used to call him, who was 6'7". My current S/O is 5'11".
Potatocakes Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I love tall guys its very attractive to me. But my last guy was the same height as me, I still love him and to me he is more attractive than all the tall guys I've been with.

I prefer shorter guys and honestly I think the sex is better b/c they are compensating for their lack of height
lovestruck818 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm tall and I love small women I always thought I got a better reaction from shorter girls. I'm short but I prefer the shorties...tallest guy I ever dated was 5'7.
D-Lish Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I like to date 5'9 plus....because I am 5'7. Above 6" really is a bonus- but it isn't a defining factor. They have to have a nice face, intelligence and a good personality to add to that height.
Pluto Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I don't really care about height, I mean I fancy Maria Sharapova who is a giant, but I do tend to go for women who are either slightly taller or slightly shorter than I am. Women seem to like tall men because they seem as being stronger, more protective, but every shortman vs tall man altercation I saw drew the same conclusion. The taller the man, the harder and faster he fell. Tall men might be handsome, but they'll never have the might and sexual prowess of us shorties.
marlena Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Tall men might be handsome, but they'll never have the might and sexual prowess of us shorties. Hmmmm! Interesting! You know, now that I think of it, you may be right!

Shygirl15 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 How attractive is tallness ? Like if you see a big tall guy, is that automatically attractive ? Attractive height for me, starts at 6". I really like BIG tall guys, not just tall. They always attract my attention whenever I see them. It's even more sexier when they have beard, and hair on their arms and chest (call me a freak). A tall slender wouldn't work for me. I would rather go for an average guy (say 5'7" or 5'8") who is stocky, but not a tall slender guy. I really like meat on my guys, really do..
