Default Tall girls not sexy?
 
Most tall girls cower down, especially if they're 5'8 and near the height of their average friends, but not quite. Big boned girls stick out like a sore thumb and unless they know how to work it, can end up looking masculine and unattractive. My big boned and tall female friends seem to act extra feminine, which sometimes leads them to have drag- queen- esque mannerisms!

I think people are attracted to the 'average' and most guys say they go for short and petite girls in polls on girls' height.

Yet despite being conventionally unattractive tall big boned girls get a lot of attention. My girlfriend is tall and broad- shouldered, although very pretty and I love her to bits for not being average. Everything she wears she can make look 10 times better than shorter girls.

So are tall girls really that off- putting to you? Would you be scared to date one?
Is the 'long legs' fascination a myth?

No, no and no. Its not really the height that makes them attractive its there looks/figure as a whole that makes them un/attractive. Also long legs are very sexy.

i dunno i've always had a thing for tall girls - not masculine ones that look as though they are a male - but nice womanly tall woman. i'm 6 ft and i'd prefer to date or marry someone more close to my heigh or even my height.

p.s beautiful 6 foot girl =

I'm 5'8 and ****ing sexy!

Modesty aside, I reckon it's to do with how people behave and their body language that makes them sexy rather than body shape.

Tall girls are gay. Especially if they're around 5'9".

I'm 6'2" and I fancy the pants off a girl who's an inch taller than I! The fact that she's a Keira Knightley lookalike may have something to do with it, I suppose...

Tall girls look loverllyyyy.
Great for pulling off a really classy look in long dresses and stuff.
It's just sad that most get self-conscious about it and like walk with a bit of a hunch and stuff.

Dude, your sigs are seriously awesome dude. I cant get enough of the kid candidly smoking away lol. Plus rep coming your way.

In regards to the OP, no, just no. I dont wanna seem rude but tall girls tend to only be a turn off for short guys with extreme inferiority complexes (not all short guys). Tall chicks are the sex, though height is not really a deciding factor when it comes to the fairer sex.

Tall girls are kind of hot, but ironically they're unattainable for short-asses like myself
