Why do you think women like tall men?

    Do women like tall men because they can feel protected; feel petite and feminine; chances of a bigger penis; tall men can reach stuff high up etc.

    What's your opinion?

    Dunno, I like short women cause I can balance my pint on their head.

    Because you've hit puberty now:D

    Thought that as well until I got with a guy who was 6'6. He was just average at 6.5 but it looked so small in proportion.

    So now I don't know what to believe anymore!:(


    Btw, how tall are you? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom

    Speaking as a short lady I don't get the big deal about tall men, who cares! It's whats inside that counts and all that jazz.....
    (no double entendres please :))


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    Because maybe that's just what some women are into. I don't like tall women. Small girls are more fun (and I don't mean kids)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    I married my husband purely for his reaching ability. He is not particularly tall but he does have an exceptionally long reach.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Aw they fixed the mistake in the thread title :(

    He told me because he asked me what I was.


    I've course I'm lying. The measuring tape comes with at all times!;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I don't.
    I'm only small - 5.2 and really small build, so I look ridiculous with very tall guys!
    I remember being with one guy years ago, and the only way I could reach up to kiss him is when he was sitting down, and I sat on his lap.
    It was all too embarrassing, so we didn't last long!

    We don't prefer tall men. Some do. Some don't. Some don't give a crap about height, find other things attractive. Some take what they can get. I dated plenty of shorter men, ended up with a tall guy. Nothing against short guys. All of god's children have a place in the...yeah, okay penis size might have something to do with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    Evolutionary reasons.

    Because some short men act like Jack Russells and have small dog / short man syndrome.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    So which is more important...height or penis size?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,017 ✭✭✭SharpshooterTom


    Most women don't care about penis size. Men care more.

    So would you prefer a short guy with a big todger, or a tall guy with a small todger? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    I would prefer a guy who didnt call it todger.

    And I'm sure there are women who think about big penii all the time just like there are lads who think about going downstairs on a girl.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Why don't some women seem to like me do women like tall men, you say?

    It's evolution. They instinctively, subconsciously, know that tall men will be able to reach things for them on the top shelves of supermarkets when they're elderly, thus helping them survive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15

    Penis, flute, pipe, there's only so many words for the male genitalia that are allowed on boards.

    Didnt your man David Attenborough do a documentary on it once? I think it was called the trials of life.

    Being 6'3" myself I love tall women. They're not exactly easy to find but.

    Penisflutepipe would be more acceptable.

    I remember when I was in school one guy referred to "the purple-headed warrior"...

    On topic: height is probably an evolutionary signal for a good genetic profile - for most of human history, being tall has meant you're healthy and physically strong, and therefore a good bet for producing offspring with.

    So you want three at the same time?

    Rubbish, it means you'll be the first one to get a slap in a row.

    What's considered tall nowadays anyway? It seems like 6ft (which I am) doesn't cut it anymore and is more or less average to most guys I know.

    It seems like 6ft is the new 5'10 and 6'2 is the new 6ft.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed

    I can imagine a way for that to work:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    Personally I prefer women who are around the same height as me. If I'm with a girl who is a lot shorter than me, I need to constantly bend down for a bit of the auld snogging. It can be hard on the back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    I am 6ft myself pushing 6ft 1 maybe 2 with what kind of shoes i have on

    Not really 6ft is tall in my books out of all my friends i am about 4 inches taller then every one

    I have the problem myself getting jeans 30/34 is a B.itch to get anywhere so really i can't get 34 inch leg jeans so irish man must be small all the shops have a 20 inch legs

    Also my ex was 5ft and it was funny the diff in hight we had. But in the last girl i was selling for a few weeks she was 5ft 10 and i find out i don't like tail girls LoL

    Here here. Now at 6ft I'm biased but short men act and look ridiculous!
    Also I'm sure ladies are thinking to the future because middle aged men look like walking barrels when they gain a bit of weight.

    I'm 5'10'' and wouldn't look twice at any man shorter than me. SHallow? Maybe...but it would look ridiculous.

    Also find tall men more attractive, like the thoughts of them being stronger and more powerful. Throw me around a bit.

    you're too honest for after hours!

    you're supposed to say it's not height and you'd give a 5'5" man a chance if he was nice and all that bullsh1t!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I'm 5'2". I prefer bigger men, regardless of what height they are. Not elephants, but not little skinny fellas either. My Dad is my height, and my template for all things that are perfect about men, so height doesn't really matter to me I guess.

    It all depends on the man though. I can easily get to know someone who looks nothing like 'my type' and find myself fancying the socks off their little weeny ass.

    Oh right, see my post above, that'll conform more with your expectations :D.

    Did you read the Wiki article? Most of it suggests it's all myth, and not only that but based on a myth (Napoleon was taller than average).

    I'm small, but as far as I'm aware, I don't overcompensate for anything. I've gone out with taller girls, but would prefer smaller girls. I guess it's a societal thing: people do sometimes look at you funny if you're with someone taller than yourself. Each to their own, though.

    I've noticed a lot of tall women have just as much trouble finding a partner as some of the short men. I know a very good looking woman who's close to 6 foot and finds it very difficult to find a man. If you're very tall and want a man who is taller, then you don't have as many options as a short woman.

    I know there are a lot of men who like smaller women but I've had my fair share still come on to me. Obviously if they don't like taller women then they won't.

    Everyone has their preferences.
