shygal2008 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I am asking bcuz i noticed that most of my cousins, and a few friends that are dating/engaged/married are all much smaller then the men they are with. The men tower over the women..these women are short..as i am myself. They are all tall guys (5'10-6'3) with these petite, short (5'1-5'4) woman. Is it a sexual thing? Is it better with someone smaller then you as far as moving into different positions and all? I was thinking it was a male-dominating fantasy type thing??? I never asked anyone before but in my experience i think so. Am i right? You can pick her up, move her around, place things where you want them..lol..type thing!!!! I know my ex boyfriend was at least a foot taller then me and he was very physical and did do that alot..sitting me on his lap, facing him..so my breasts would be closer to his face..lol Thanks!

FathomFear Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Well, for some it might be a sexual/domination thing. For others, it's just how the chips fall. Link to comment
analives Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 hmm... i think most women prefer taller guys. and i think most guys prefer being taller than their woman. i know my fiancé is a foot taller than me and i loooooooove that. i feel so protected with him! Link to comment
shygal2008 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 I know many women feel safer and more protected with a BIG GUY around them Link to comment
bluestreak Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It is in some ways a power/respect thing, along with being a sexual thing. It guarentees the man power, in some fashion, in a world today, that is so women power driven. Note: I am a 6'1" attractive male who has always been attracted to petite women before I even understood the statement above. Link to comment
G-Snap Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm pretty small and big guys seem to be more attracted to me than smaller ones, I always figured it was an "opposites attract" kind of phenomenom. Link to comment
yeawutever Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 In order to consider a man too tall, for me it would be above the 6ft mark. For some reason I prefer them 6ft and under. I think the ones going for the taller ones are the petite women mainly. In one of my friend's case, she once dated a man who was about 6'4 while she was only 5'1. I didn't really found him attractive but oh well some people have different taste. I thought 5'4 was consider average height for us women. As for me, I'm 3 inches above that (5'7). Guess I'm not those men's favorite dish either........ Link to comment
petite Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm a petite girl barely 5'1" and my ex is 6'1". I have dated shorter men before and that was okay too,but I'm just more attracted to taller guys. I like wearing high heels and still being shorter than the guy. 5'9" and above is all good, anything under is still okay and I wouldn't not be with a guy who is shorter if he is a great guy, however if the same person came in a taller version I'd probably go for the taller. I realize my comment might get some guys angry as we had this discussion previously on the forum, so it's all about individual choices and what is more attractive for the individual. It's no different than some guys preferring blonds over brunettes, girls with bigger booty, or thinner girls over chubby. It's all a matter of what we as individuals are attracted to. Link to comment
Dako Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm 6/5 and never considered a sexual motive to dating short women. I just dated women I liked to talk to and be with. Sex is something that happened spontaneously much later. Link to comment

Yeah, for me it's the protection thing. I don't like guys over 6 feet but around 5'10, 5'11 is perfect for me. I'm 5'4" and on a 5'11" guy my head rests comfortably right beneath his chin. I don't know, it just makes me feel very feminine to go in for the kiss and have to stand on my toes to do it. Link to comment

arcadefire Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I really really hate how stupid things that can't be changed matter. Some people like eye color, skin color, etc. and you can't change those. It's all preference. I do prefer taller men. It's not about the sexual aspect, but just feeling protected. Link to comment
bluestreak Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I really really hate how stupid things that can't be changed matter. What are you talking about? Please clarify. Link to comment
Night Pumpkin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Unless it is an extreme discrepancy, it does feel pretty good to be much taller than your girlfriend. Also, I weigh twice as much as her exactly to the pound. Link to comment
Startingover2007 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have dated both tall and shorter men. I'm 5'5"...The guy I married is 5'7"...all i'm gonna say is dynamite comes in small packages...... Link to comment
MakestheBest Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 lol...as a very tall woman 6 ft, this dynamic has always annoyed me. I always tell my short friends to "date in your own height range and leave the big boys to us" , but honestly...whatever in my experience the taller guys are necessarily the mentally tougher guys by a long shot. But I love it when I can wear heels tho, I must admit! Link to comment
zzprometheuszz Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 i am 6'1 and attracted to hot girls.... don't care if you are tall or short..lolz Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I like any boys as long as they are taller than me (at 5'3'', it's not that hard to find). My last two love interests have been over 6 feet. But I've dated much shorter. I think the protection is nice when the guy is taller. But, I always like being closer in height to guys. I feel it's more intimate that way. I can kiss them without them bending and look at them without them looking down at me. Link to comment

There are ups and downs to height, perceptions, feelings, reality, always. Link to comment
stingray Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Just because he is tall doesn't mean he can protect you any less or more than the shorter guy. Also doesn't mean he is stronger or weaker than the shorter guy. I am a little bit above average height btw... I just don't think it really matters as long as the guy is taller than the girl and they look good together. Link to comment

shygal2008 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 It is all about attraction & individual preference then, i thought maybe it was about other things..some people go for certain things (good butt, large breasts, blue eyes, redheads) this is just another to add to the list...thanks!
