S_A Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Some short guys are rockin while some tall guys are Lurch so that's what I'm trying to figure out in my head. Not sure what "Lurch" means, but does it have to do with posture? I've noticed short guys have great posture (they try to make themselves look slightly taller) while tall guys can have bad posture because they are so used to looking down at people (among other things). I am 6'2" and I was lucky enough to notice in 10th/11th grade that my posture wasn't too great and worked on fixing it right away. Has not been an issue since. What sucks is when I see people judge some guys for their posture etc when they don't realize that it's because of the guy's height and how he's had to go through every day life. That being said, it's not like 6'2" is toweringly tall.
Eternal Sunshine Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I simply think that tall guys look better, as they generally tend to have a larger frame that I like. I can and have dated shorter guys with larger frame. The only combination that turns me off is short/small frame. It's mostly to do with my own looks. I am 5'8" tall, I really dislike the idea of a guy being able to wear my jeans! But yeah I don't think "he can protect me so I am attracted to him". The attraction is either there or it's not.

It's not a good time. If I like him it's not like that at all though. Then it's hot.
yxalitis Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Posts like this seriously make me laugh. Seriously made you laugh...OK... Do you know that Voltaire was 5'3" and notoriously ugly, but one of the most renowned ladies men in history? Did you know that in Voltaire's time, EVERYONE was short..yeah, go look at ancient armour, health and lifestyles meant people didn't grow much. 5'5" was considered tall. One guy I know who I'd be willing to bet has gotten laid more than anyone on this forum lives with his mom, is 36 years old, is missing most of his teeth, is overweight, broke, plays video games all day, is average height, but the guy has got game. He consistently pulls tail and I would bet on him over most men who are rich, 'good looking', tall, etc... He knows how to talk to women. So he's a player...what's that got to do with woman's immediate attitudes to height? Here's a fact that short guys are so unwilling to accept: being good looking doesn't mean that you're attractive. Err...symantics? P Ladies, how many good looking men have you met who, when they opened their mouths, you stopped caring about them and wished they hadn't? And on the contrary, have you met men who, upon first glance did not necessarily rule out, but found after some good conversation and interaction that you were wet for them? Which is about looks, not just about height. You've jumped on the bandwagon, but it was the wrong one, and you're rapidly heading out of town 1

This makes sense. I went from size 46/48 waist pants down to size 30 and pretty ripped but at 5'8" I was 160 lbs. I tended to only attract really lean women who were runners as an example or petite girls. When I chunked up a little to 180's during my first real bulk I started having all types of women showing interest. 1

That's freakin huge! Congrats on the transformation.
davidromero43 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm 6'3 so I'm going to say tall guys are the cats meow.
JaneyJ1991 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 ]*5'9" isn't that short. It's more like average height. Average height for women' date=' I believe is 5'4".[/b'] I have dated lots of heights. Maybe at some points I was biased with a preference for tall. But have had bf's 5'7'-6'6". Once I went to 5'7" bypassed any bias I had against shorter types, I would never let it be an issue now. 5'9" has never been a bad thing in my book. My only worry is if they have any hangups about me wearing my heels!! I'm 5'9". I like tall men. I've dated guys from 6'2"-6'4". I grew up in a tall family. There aren't a lot of men taller than me, but when there are, they really stand out. Would I date a guy the same height as me? If I really liked him, yes. Would it be weird to me at first? Yes. But I would get over it. Oh, and yes, equipment is not proportional based on height.
Rejected Rosebud Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm sure the topic is covered often in many ways but I am curious as to the perception when a woman sees a tall guy versus a short guy. What is the woman saying to herself when she sees a tall man versus when she sees a shorter man.... perhaps one that is her height, slightly taller, or slightly shorter? No women that I know really break a guy into categories, we aren't just looking at a tall guy and a slightly shorter guy, we're looking at the WHOLE guy!!! I assure you that there are many many shorter guys who get much more attention from women than their taller friends, because of their other attractive qualities!!! You guys here on LS put WAAAAAY too much emphasis on height, if you aren't very tall yes, some girls won't like you, there are alot of other things that girls like and don't like, just make the most of your great attributes!! :) 2
blueskyday Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I only think about one thing when I first meet or see a guy: Do I want to rip his clothes off or not? It's based on animal attraction! I'm attracted to all kinds of guys. Height makes no difference. I've dated hot shorter guys, as well as hot tall guys. Their height didn't make them hot. 1
PogoStick Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 My male perspective on women's height: Through experience, I've decided that shorter women are better in bed. So when I see a short, attractive woman, I'm certainly thinking about how good the sex would be. Sure I'll still give a taller woman a chance, and my ex-wife was around 5'11. Very sexy and feminine, and indeed, bad in bed Short girls move better on top, and are generally tighter The small frame on a shorter girl feels more feminine to me and triggers my masculine instincts. Finally, very tall women, like 5'10+ often lose the feminine figure. They don't just get tall, they get thick, and sometimes with odd proportions.

Versacehottie Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Finally, very tall women, like 5'10+ often lose the feminine figure. They don't just get tall, they get thick, and sometimes with odd proportions. I agree this seems to happen. They lose what little bit of waist they have. It's like a toothpick shape vs an hourglass. Hourglass ages better, I think.
miranda_wilson Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Well, I am a fairly short woman who just started seeing a short guy, and I am fine with it! I typically like taller men, but if you like someone, you like them. And I actually chose him (he's about 5'5" or 5'6") over this guy who is 6'1" because the latter didn't have much going for him in the way of brains. Not saying tall guys aren't smart; my boyfriends are always smart, and many of them have been tall. It's just...this guy wasn't. I really don't care about this guy I'm seeing being short. In fact, i kinda like that I can wear flat shoes around him and also that, when it comes time to sleep together, i can feel a little more physically dominant. It's all good.
miranda_wilson Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'mma be honest. I've read so much of this, yet I haven't seen this tall thing play out in real life. Guys with nice faces usually have girls with pretty faces, guys with ugly faces, tall or short usually have girls with ugly faces. See a tall guy with a hot girl, he's usually good looking too. I don't see no tall ugly dudes with a fine chick. Yeah there might be something to that. The short guy I am seeing...good-looking face. Really good-looking. If you are good-looking and you have "game" so to speak, it doesn't matter if you are a short guy. I mean, I feel just as excited by this short guy as I have about taller guys. It's because he's "whole package" attractive. Intellect, good social skills, niceness, coolness factor, etc.
mystikmind2005 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Are you also wondering if they think the tall guy has a bigger penis? It's a fair question if you are. But there is no correlation IMO. Personally i think that is a bit of scientific political correctness. It makes more sense to me that generally speaking, the human body is fairly consistently proportioned according to body size. Of course there will be individual variation.
