Are short guys attractive?

Holmer · 16-08-2007 07:55PM #1

Hey. Was looking at the are redheads sexy thread and was inspired to ask, as a guy of 5 foot 5, what's the general perception among the girls to short arsed fellas (though not necessarily taller than themselves). I guess we should expand it to ask how the lads would feel about seeing a girl who was taller than themselves too. Opinions please.
Thanks:)

Tom Cruise, Napoleon, Jimmy Krankie. All short men, yet all absolute dreamboats. The answer your looking for is obviously: YES.

The oft quoted refrain is "at least they (the short person) would not have to bend over to...."

I'll say no more.

I'm 5 '8 does that count as short ?

I wouldn't go for a shorter guy myself. I am 5'10 though.

I'd give him one.

He let himself go a bit though once he had the power and no longer needed the looks.

How rigidly would you stick to that rule though?

What say you and the 6 foot Pighead ended up getting together some time. We're getting on well, the sex is magnificent and you're pretty sure you're head over heels in love with me.

Then one day Pighead arrives home with no feet having just had them cut off and stolen by a gang of Roma Gypsies and Poles. Suddenly you're 6 foot hunk is a 5ft 6 hunk. Are you really gonna dump him just because he's not quite as tall as before?

I spit on your 6'.
6' 2" here.

I'd never do a chick shorter than me.

Hmmm, is that in your heels or without?

What about that midget from the Irish rugby squad?

Does he get the juices flowin?

Well, we're all the same height lying down piggy

Honestly tho, if,IF, the sex was that good, I'd construct some sort of transport device that both wheels you around with me and solves missing inches problem

SarahSassy · 16-08-2007 08:23PM

I am lucky in that I am somewhat vertically challenged myself - approx 5 3' (Im adding an inch there

) so I have the pick of the bunch.

I do think that its possible to find a short man attractive but in my case I tend to notice taller men first.....

Yes, to medium sized predators.

jellie · 16-08-2007 08:28PM

i went out with a guy who claimed to be 5'5 (i think he was a bit smaller..) but im only just over 5ft so cant say it was a problem for me.

Ha ha ha!
The consensus so far seems to be that the very petite girls find our wretched kind somewhat tolerable. I used to go out with a girl the same height as me, she said having a taller boyfriend felt like being domineered to. I hated when she wore heels though. She had to keep them for nights with the girls so as to avoid the tom & nicole look

Who? Mr. Potato-head Peter Stringer? He actually 5'8-5'9 or so. It's just that he's usually surrounded by guys who are much bigger hense he ends up looking like a midget.

Gizzle · 16-08-2007 08:41PM

Being the almighty height of 5'7" and the almighty width of about half that, I can honestly says girls think I'm absolutely gargeous. In a square kind of way.

I think its that a woman needs to be made feel like a woman and for some of us that are a little taller, we need to be swung by the hair and taken back to the cave for some lovin by our 6' + hunks

Isn't that correct piggy?

Giblet · 16-08-2007 08:43PM

I'm 6'7", and I find short men attractive.

There was a programme about this on BBC3 or 4 recently.

It was made by a 4'10" guy who works as a stuntman. He had a girlfriend himself but was curious to know, as he'd heard many times, whether women find short guys unattractive. At one stage they ran an experiment where they created numerous cardboard cutouts of the presenter; one his original height, another at 5'2", another at 5'5", then at 5'7", 6'0 and 6'2". Women were asked to place a sticker on the ones they found most attractive and they ended up exclusively on the two tallest models.

There is a way to overcome it though. It's not through sense of humour, bank balance or confidence, though I'm sure all those things make a difference. It's through dancing. That's right, dancing. The one thing that's been scientifically shown to level the playing field is getting up there and shaking your booty. When you're dancing women assess the symmetry and co-ordination of your body rather than your height. Or something.

Don't worry though OP. You got a whole three inches on me.

Apparently he was a very vigorous lover too, remember reading that he awoke the family in one palace he stayed in 3 times when his lover and he fell out of bed in the throws of passion (believe it was in one of the older editions of "The Book of Lists").

Don't think I'd have a problem with dating a taller woman anyway, as long as she didn't obsess over it herself.

Come to think of it I would've thought most guys would like it since it'd be easier to disguise staring at her chest.;)

When you're taller, you get the cleavage shot.

Are short guys attractive?
