Are Tall People Attractive?

    Ok well I'm only 16 years of age and already I'm at a height of 6ft 3inchs. Some people would call me lanky (usually with words B*stard or Prick after it).

    I find it fairly hard to get the womenz. So I'm wondering whether or not being tall (really tall) is an issue with much women?

    And anyway being super tall gives me a reason to not get girls, rather that than just being a big prick.

    One of the most atractive things a guy can be is tall. Not THE most important thing, bt its up there

    i wouldn't find you attractive, only gheys find other men attractive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 230 ✭✭nucking futs


    Have you considered that maybe it's not your height, maybe it's you?

    Speaking on behalf of the shortarses (5' 9"); yes, taller blokes are infinitely more attractive to the wimminz than normal lads.



    Lanky bastards :(

    5' 9" is average, which I am about myself, slightly under average at most.

    It's a factor, one of many, and it differs depending on the girl. I think most girls are happy once they're not taller, bonus points if they can wear heels and still be shorter :D

    I'm assuming you have big feet to support your size.
    Make use of every opportunity you have to point out the fact that you have big feet to members of the opposite sex

    It's probably because you're only 16, at that age most guys don't know their arse from their elbow when it comes to women.

    Ba dum bum tish :pac:

    I'm short, 5 ft and half an inch (half is very important:P) so height doesn't really bother me. Everyone is tall to me :(

    Ok well I'm only 16 years of age and already I'm at a height of 6ft 3inchs.

    I know a few lads who are around that height actually, and one a few inches taller. They all do amazingly with the girls, so it's not that....

    "Embarrassing" but surprisingly pleasurable .. :p

    Sounds like you need a Hi - ho.

    I love tall men! There aren't enough of them around unfortunately :(
    I'm 5ft 11 and a woman and I usually tower over most men and don't even get me started on when I'm wearing heels :rolleyes:
    Tall men are sexy.....don't worry about it ;)

    Ya know what, I actually know what your talking about.

    Most tall people go around thinking they're solid just because of their height.

    But on the otherhand I'v found alot of small people to be pricks aswell because they think they have something to prove.

    Me on the otherhand, has never hit someone (who wasn't a sibling) before in my life. At least not a proper punch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Being tall is an attractive trait: it means you can get stuff of the top shelf, and jump over cheetahs, and reach branches more easily than the other - wait...

    Women can't tell how good looking a tall guy is, because his face is so far away. It takes some women longer than others to find out. You quite often see them standing on chairs for a closer look, before running away screaming, or not, as the case may be.

    Probably explains why they're so angry.

    5'9" is short? Not much hope for my 5.5ft self so.

    At least I'll live to be 90.

    If more tall people had the attitudes of short people, there wouldn't be very many short people left in the world.

    - as stated by a friend of mine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Yeah I like tall - not Jeff Goldblum tall, but run-of-the-mill tall's all good.

    I wouldn't like to be tall myself though.

    Actually I've heard that average height has increased over the last few thousand years so natural selection does seem to be favouring taller folk, just give it a while :)

    How do ya know what women like when the only sexual experience you`ve had in your life is your mother walking in on ya pulling your little 2 inch mickey


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Peter Crouch done alright.. just become minted and you'll be fine

    I'd but as you allude to it is more to with his football ability/wealth than his height.
    Peter Crouch was recently asked what he would be if he wasn't a footballer, he replied: "A virgin".

    Hilarious.


    I have a mouth, from which words can be exchanged. I know girls, I know lads who are very popular with girls. There's this new-fangled thing called speech, where one's ideas and thoughts can be shared... you might need a bit more evolution yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I like guys even just a bit taller than me... security thing I think .. dunnos.

    (or false sense of)


    Meh.

    Im same height as you and happily married to a beautiful woman. I can tell you that I have never had any problems with women and found being tall was a very positive attribute to have. Women prefer taller men it seems, and most guys would like to be taller than they are. Here is an article from America on tall men and women, hope this cheers you up

    The Dating Scene

    The preference for taller men extends, it seems, beyond the boardroom and into the bedroom.

    Steve Penner, the previous owner of a Boston-based dating service, says he heard it all the time. "It is common for many women to insist that any man they date must be "at least" four to six inches taller," he says.

    And the reason may be genetic.



    Tall men are more likely to get married and have children than short men.

    Experts like James Gould from Princeton University believe that women's preference for tall men is hard-wired into the brain, and it's there because it relates to good health.

    "When height is an indicator of health, this is not surprising, and if females are programmed to look for health, they would end up with taller males," Gould says. "It's entirely plausible this is true."

    And a study published in the journal Nature seems to back up this theory. Robin I. M. Dunbar of the University of Liverpool and colleagues studied 3,200 men in their 20s to 50s, whose average height was 5'6." They found:

    Taller men are more likely to be married and have children than shorter men

    Childless bachelors are significantly shorter than married men

    Those with children were, on average, 1.2 inches taller than childless men

    Married men were an average of 1 inch taller than bachelors

    Now I finally understand why tall men live shorter lives!
