Do girls like tall guys or taller guys?

I think its a given that most girls like their boyfriend to be taller than them but girls, do you like guys who are tall as in like "taller than average" so above 5 foot 10 and above.

Or do girls just want the guy to be taller than them?

Cause I'm short but I'm still taller than the average girl but shorter than an average boy.

So girls, do you just want the guy to be taller than you or is being objectively tall better?

i prefer tall guys who are equal to or greater than five foot 10, nothing wrong with shorter guys though :h:
Tbh height doesn't really bother me, but as I'm quite short I don't want the guy to be too tall otherwise it's just awkward.

tbh if we're being blunt, tall guys are v nice, but personally sometimes I feel that over 5'10 is a little too tall?idk though, at the end of the day to judge someone on their height, or looks is equally as bad as saying "I'd only go out with someone with dd cups or above" so who is anyone to judge hahah
I don't understand this obsession everyone has with heights. Are you going to pop out a measuring tape every time you meet someone and then say 'sorry mate, you're too short but come back when you grow 4cm'?

No but its not difficult too estimate someone's height.

I wouldn't, but it seems girls care about it more. I mean I wouldn't date a girl I'd have to look up to, I don't know why I prefer girls my height or shorter maybe I've been conditioned to think like that.

5 foot 10 is only 1 inch above average height for guys. I mean personally I probably wouldn't be attracted to a girl who was like 2 foot tall or like 3 foot tall.

Would you turn someone down because of their height? :redface:

Would you date a guy shorter than you? I've rarely seen it, I think I was either shorter than or same as my ex but it was like an inch at most.

How am I picking a fight? :lol: I asked you a question based on what you said.

You don't prefer shorter guys so you think there is something wrong with them. Stop lying.

I just barely make it on your list as I'm 5'10. :laugh:
I prefer guys who are the same height as me/taller than me. I'm only 5ft 5 so if he's my height or above that's fine :smile:

If it was extreme difference I wouldn't notice them so no.

I would. If he was a very nice person then I don't see why I would turn him down simply because of his height. Height isn't really something that I care about :tongue:

One, just this one. I'm like 5 foot 5, this thread isn't supposed to be like about me. It's cause I saw the other thread by the guy with the simpsons character about only 4% of girls are taller than their boyfriends or something.
Yes they pref taller


its a psychological thing

taller = better protection for family = safer = successful breeding

They care about how tall you are compared to other men, not compared to themselves
