Women:how important to you is height in a guy ?

Question

Are women naturally more attracted to taller men ?

Answer 1

Height has no relevance to how a relationship will work.

You can miss out on the love of your life simply because you are too picky about an inch or 2 either way.

I married a man shorter than me and it doesn't worry me one iota. For the record, I am 5'7".

Our relationship is secure, loving and honest. I feel very safe when I am with him and I don't feel embarrassed, ashamed or self-conscious because he is shorter than me.

I don't see how height in a man can make you feel more secure. Is it not the abilities of a man, their demeanour, their character and their build which gives the illusion of safety?

In all honesty, I don't think I would feel comfortable with someone around the 5' mark, but 4 or 5 inches shorter than me is no problem.

Answer 2

I think that most women are naturally attracted to taller men, it's a security thing. As much as women want to pretend to be total bad a$$es, they can take care of themselves, they don't need a man to "protect" them, they still gravitate toward big guys because they feel safe with them. I know that I (I'm 5'8") always date guys that are at least 6' or taller (the taller the better), I don't want to be with a guy that I can beat up.

Answer 3

Absolutely has to be my height or taller. Cant date a guy shorter than me-its a masculinity thing. Maybe if short guy was super buff it might work to counteract the shortness? Possibly there is a height to muscle ratio that could definitively answer this question?!

Answer 4

I prefer to date taller men, I think height implies strength and I like this. However I tend to fancy a lot of shorter men. Don't ask me why I'm a complicated woman.

Answer 5

i think that naturally people are attracted to those that are complimentary to themselves.....more of a sub-conscience preference.....for example women are attracted to men that are taller because of a false sense of security and for a "proper" society fit.....some women's sub-conscience is not that superficial...it's the same with a man he doesn't want a woman taller than himself...he wants to be able to "tower" over her at least physically....something like a macho thing being the the "head" of a relationship...but like i said some people are not sub-conscience superficial ....some people like a man or woman that is taller or bigger to "dominate" them to make them feel small and delicate...me i am a thick chick...5'7 ....i like a man that is bigger than me for that reason alone.....

Answer 6

I think women tend to go for taller guys. Im 5ft 6 and single but that could be more to do with being a right ugly bugger!

Answer 7

I didn't like my Father and he was only 5ft 4" hence why I am only 5ft 1". My husband is 6ft and I believe that I was subconsciously trying to find someone who was completely opposite. My son is also 6ft and I would have hated him to have a chip on his shoulder like my Father did because of his height. Tall people do find it amusing to make fun of smaller people, like we can help our height! Anyway, that aside, I have always been attracted to tall men.

Answer 8

it's important to me extremely- the comforting towering effect and knowing that he's physically capable of looking after me if need be- not that I'm dependant....

i went out with a short fellow- had far too much to prove- had a massive gob on him- shouted but said nothing useful and made a prat out of himself when we went out clubbing once- when a guy was talking to me- he insulted him for no reason- but in turn got called frodo for looking like a prat for saying unnecessary nasty things- glad to be rid of him. He had an ego problem and he was far too worried about himself to be concerned about anyone or anything else around him....

Answer 9

Some are height is important to some because they don't want a guy shorter than them.

Answer 10

The same height or taller is good.

Answer 11

5 ft 6 and single. I think the fact that I only go for taken girls is my stumbling block as opposed to my height though!
