Hey guys;

Well, I was just wondering, but, why is it girl like taller guys? Typically, every girl I meet wants someone who is about 6ft. They say they don't quite know why, they just do.

Why?

[Tall Man Green]

We are superior

[Tedaus]

Tall guy = big feet = big...

I think generally it subconsciously makes girls feel 'safe' and 'protected' to be with someone taller/bigger than them.

It also makes girls feel feminine and petite and small.

I just can't help thinking though, are the feeding their own insecurities?

Protected from what? Ze Germans?

It makes kissing when standing up feel a lot nicer.

EDIT: *This applies with someone who is taller than you, but not hugely taller than you where it just gets uncomfortable.

[TizzWazz]

Typically yes. I don't understand it myself. Especially as an average height male is tall to me thereby, okay.

If he's hugely tall, you'd be kissing his head still. If you know what I mean.

Me being only 5'3 the idea of going out with someone who is shorter than me does scare me a little, and people could genuinely mistake us for some dwarf circus act!

[Josh93]

Ok (girls) - so if you had to choose between a guy that was say 2 inches shorter than you but that you really liked or a guy that was 5 inches taller but you didn't get on as well with, which would you choose, honestly?

Not all girls do, I think its more of just a comfortable secure feeling, he is there to protect you.

Being 5'2", people think that I can't protect people with me. A girl who declined me for my height watched in horror as I knocked her 6 ft something boyfriend down.

I can tolerate people making fun out of my height.
I can tolerate people using me as an armrest.
I can't tolerate anyone testing my masculinity, and I will not use force until I have to.

Why use violence? Not really good way to impress a woman is it?

Height is meaningless really, unless you're a dwarf.

You are of course under average height but there is worse things to worry about in life.

Don't want to impress her - I have no business with someone who discriminates me using my height.

As I said, I will tolerate things, but there is a certain point. I will not tolerate being tested to such a low level and being called out as being incapable or doing things and being called something that's not a man.

What do you do when you are threatened, hide from it, or fight it? I will not hide from it. People don't dictate me.

You walk away and be the bigger man not go on like a thug.

You are the one who is letting it bother you... that is silly.

It's hard to walk away. I take it you haven't had someone challenge you at such a level before then? I fail to see how standing your ground is akin to acting like a thug. It's the art of defense, not offense.

"Look, he's walking away. What a pussy", that's all it took. I have no obligation to take the moral high ground - especially when he tried to trip me up. I've already fallen to a larger person before and beaten up. I therefore have the right to assume that he continue using force to which the result will be bodily harm on my side. I had a right to be there, and legally, I have to duty to retreat.

Yes, I could have picked myself up and walked out, but where would this anger go. I don't do anything until I'm provoked.
