Do most women find taller men more attractive?

[Anonymous]

Never had to think about it as almost all men were taller than I growing up. Not the case in US as there are many men shorter than I.
The taller man isn't a priority now later in life. A good man is. My current partner is shorter than I.
If taller is needed for kids, money, or protection- I have all three.

Why is this a surprise. One never has to with another.

Because typically thinner women are healthier.

Short men are not typically less healthy compared to tall men though.
In fact I believe shorter people tend to live longer (too lazy to find the source but it's out there).

Hmm, I would have a hard time believing such a study anyway. Asian folks (Japanese) live the longest but they are genetically shorter. How do you separate that from their better diet and more average daily walking - you can't.

Yeah but always exceptions, just look at sex symbol Barry Keoghan who is wildly popular right now. He's not tall.

This!

Most "sex symbols" are seen on film or in photos, so you really don't get a true sense of their height. When seen in person a lot of people are shocked (maybe even turned off) by their stature.

It’s like a catch-22, being thinner makes you look taller, but being taller accentuates your weight as well. My wife is 5’3 and 190 lbs. She hates her height and weight. I’ll give her a break though, she gave me 4 beautiful kids.

I think your mean "calves."

You're unnecessarily mean. Society needs more nice people - you are toxic. Those are probably bueatiful children and you have your own spawn ugly from the inside, like you, for comparison.

The hottest dad at my kid's school is probably 5 ft 7.

This entire thread is fascinating.

Reading this as a 5'8 guy is sobering.

I don’t think women like fat men either though. And most men are fine with “thick” women who are proportionate. Neither gender likes shapeless blobs.

Also if you’ve ever dated someone who was in much worse shape than you it’s not really much fun when you try to go out and do things together. They literally cannot keep up.

I'm short and I've always dated tall and big men. My favorite was 6'5 and 280. They make me feel so tiny. I'm 5'2 and 109 pounds.

Read all the comments, not just the ones that make you feel bad about yourself.

You're already very small.
Maybe ask yourself why you want to feel even smaller.

I am 5'8 and never had issues with women. I played D1 soccer at Clemson University and I slept with at least 100 females during my four years there. I had my way with the "freshman" rush every fall semester during my time at Clemson.

After college, my height was not an issue with women. FWIW, my wife is also 5'8.

NO!

My husband is two inches taller than me - 5'6". I would be fine with the same height as me. I have always been attracted to men that are about my height or just a couple of inches taller.

I am not attracted to taller people.

Interesting. Care to explain why that is? I'm 5ft2 and love taller guys but an attractive face on a shorter guy could supercede. The first guy who had a crush on me was tall and my brothers are tall.

I’m a different poster, but I find that I prefer the way we fit together during sex and hugging/snuggling better when we are closer in height.

All of my relationships in the past have just happened to be with guys who are 6 feet and taller which can make some positions uncomfortable or not as great if you have a bit of a smaller frame. I married someone who is 5'9/5'10 and all the positions feel good.

No, I don't care their height, as long as they have strong muscles. Especially arms, back, and pecs 😍
