Is it more attractive to be a short woman?

[Anonymous]

This whole discussion is about SOMETHING WE CAN'T CHANGE.

[Anonymous]

We can all agree that 5'5-5'7, perfectly porportional and not an ounce above or below a 21 bmi is what a woman should look like. /s

[Anonymous]

Summary of this thread (and every other thread like it, there are SO many):

Short women: Men like shorter women the best, yes? We can all agree.
Other women/men: Um, people like all kinds of things, plenty of men like average height or tall women, sexual preferences are pretty varied, for most men other factors like body type or beauty will be more important than height, what about all the tall actresses and models who are clearly deemed sexy/beautiful, etc.?
Short women: no, tall women are ogres, not feminine, can't get dates, probably bad people. short women are the sexiest, men like the shorties the best, spinners, etc.!
Tall women: Ok, fine then -- short women get fat and blobby in middle age, men who like very short women are probably pedophiles, why would you want your partner to be staring at your navel all the time.
Short women: HOW DARE YOU DISPARAGE MY HEIGHT! RUDE!

Every time. It is very, very tiresome.

This is like the female version of the napoleonic complex and I do not understand. If you would just stop (falsely) asserting that short women are universally more sexually attractive, you would not bait people into saying nasty things about short women. If you disparage women of other heights, you are going to get the same abuse thrown right back. Every time.

Increasingly I feel like the goal is specifically to reach the point where people are like "whatever, men who like shorties are probably pedophiles" and the short women who start or encourage these threads are just poking and poking until they get that response and then can act shocked and offended.

You need therapy.

Don’t worry, plenty of guys will think you are hot if you are hot.

My 6’ DH’s prior long term girlfriend before he married me (5’1”) was tall (like 5’9ish I believe). I saw a photo of her in a cousin’s wedding album once and was joking about he really doesn’t have a type! From talking about dating history I know he has also had a curvy girlfriend (whereas I’m petite) and has dated different races (I am white). He is attractive so I’m pretty sure has had his pick of women before me and I think being attractive/well put together is the key factor. Men really are into all different types of women so I don’t see how you can say one size is better than another. I love being short, but that is what I know, and I would hope that tall women feel comfortable in their bodies as well.

It would be really weird to be short and date anyone 6 feet or taller and have your face buried in their pecs or belly button when you hug/dance.

Also, my husband and I fit like a glove during sex. He can also easily pick me up. How does a short woman even wrap her legs around a tall guy—she can’t.

I’m 5’2 married to someone nearly 6’. I love how my head fits right on his chest when he hugs me. I am petite (110 lbs) and he is 190 so almost double me. I love having someone bigger than me. He has broad shoulders and just feels safe. He can also reach things for me lol, which is a huge plus. I think we all just end up finding what we like in our partner regardless of the size difference. I’ve never been able to put my head on a guy’s shoulder so that would feel weird to me!

I have observed that lesbians who are bigger/taller/less feminine/less girly tend to fall for substantially shorter/smaller/girlier women. And a gazillion men do too.

I don’t know if it’s a short woman starting these posts or a regular run of the mill troll. As a short woman I never ask myself these questions. I am curvy and the burden is convincing the world that you are not sexually available, not attracting men.

But you forgot the most important posts:

Men: we don’t care, we just want women to be hot

Yuck. That’s childlike. I was 4’11” in 4th grade.

NP. As someone who is 5'0", it's not like I chose to be this height.

I’m 6’2” and adore short girls - they give great hugs. I’m not sure why that is but they really get in there and go tight! When Insay short I’m thinking 5’5” and below.

This comment perfectly encapsulates the truth, which is that men do prefer women who are shorter than they are. But 5'5" is on the tall side of average for a woman.

To someone who is 6' or more, we're all short! So I guess we're all hot. Hurray.

What does his height have to do with wrapping your legs around him? That is a function of whether he's fat, not tall. I can easily wrap my legs around my 6'3" DH while he's pounding me.

Me too. 5’5” though. For some reason most people think I’m actually taller.

Elizabeth Taylor was only 5’2”. I’m sure there are plenty of beautiful women of shorter stature. If the proportions all work that’s what matters.
