    For me its because I am 6'0" and as a hopeless romantic I have always dreamed of a man I can look up too :)

    My guess is women want to feel safe and secure around their man and the bigger the guy the safer she feels, i guess. I never really hooked up with any women taller than me but the majority of them were older than me but only by no more than 3 years.

    It is just one of those things, I find shorter women more attractive. Dont think I have ever been attracted to any woman my height or close to it. I am around 6 feet tall... Its not a dominance thing I have just always been attracted to shorter girls, who knows maybe it is.

    Women in the US are programmed to want a man 6'0" or taller, even if they are not even close to 6'0" themselves.

    When you are done, please send the programming software my direction. Thanks.

    Why is a woman's attractiveness defined by the size of her breasts?


    I'm 5'9". My husband is 5'9". I'd probably date a man as short as 5'5" if I were single.

    I'm a 5'9 male who I think is fairly attractive but was told that I would be much more attractive if I was only 6 ft tall. Ladies, why is a man's attractiveness defined by his height? Why is height soooo important to women

    sure after you explain why men think a women's appearance and breast, butt size are so important to men.

    Great point!!!... I will leave that question to the OP to get it started... or maybe you start a thread... not bad topic.

    I am only 5'1 and attractiveness has nothing to do with height. I see attractive short and tall men all the time. And to be honest short men are easier to kiss because it doesn't kill my neck from having my head bent practically backwards. :smile:

    So whoever told you that you need to be taller can suck it. :P

    My mother (who just passed at 96) loved to say height doesn't matter when you are laying down.... ;~)


    Exactly!!! Speaking from experience too. :blushing:

    I have a theory that some women are attracted to power. That power can be money, celebrity, height, etc. For me it's intelligence. My husband is a couple of inches shorter than me (I'm 5'10"), and it really doesn't matter. I just love him for his big brain. :)

    Its not for me! I'm 5'3", my boyfriend is 5'6" and I couldn't care less. Whenever we get dressed up we joke about how I'm taller than him when I wear my heels, lol. I've dated super tall guys (the tallest was 6'7" I think) and guys my height and it didn't matter to me.

    I also have a friend who is 6' tall and she has no problem dating guys shorter than her, and still rocking her 3" heels. She doesn't care a bit about height. Not everyone has the same criteria for "cute" guy.

    I'm 5'11". My boyfriend is 5'7". My ex was 5'4".

    I couldn't care less if a guy was shorter or taller than me. To me, the main factor in a man's attractiveness is his intelligence and sense of humor (no really--I don't have a specific "body type) that I go for.

    But it's different for all women. There is no ONE thing that ALL women care about when it comes to determining a man's attractiveness.

    I couldnt date a guy shorter than me and im 5'6 dont know why but Im just not attracted to short guys - same reason why some guys like blondes others dark hair or a particular body shape I guess.. My preference is guys over 6ft as find it masculine and it's just what im into... although in saying this my last bf was only 5'10 ....i did find him too short though :wink:

    I am 5'8, and it is hard to find a guy who makes me feel little. It would be near impossible for me to date someone shorter than me. My advice to the OP - concentrate on finding girls who are petite, between 5'0 and 5'5. That way, she'll feel little with you and you'll feel bigger than her. You will mostly likely be turned down by girls taller than you - it's sad but probably true.

    Protection. Feels nice when a tall man hugs you. You feel safe. Not so hot when its about the same height.

    My first reaction was "it is?!" but then I thought about it and yeah taller is nicer (although attractiveness isn't defined by it.) I'm 5'7" so when I wear heels I occaisionally am taller than guys and it makes me feel like a huge Amazon which isn't a fun feeling. Same feeling when I'm in flats and the guy is shorter. I dunno I guess it's more about me not wanting to feel like a giant than about the guy.

    Oddly enough, every woman I've ever dated has told me they've felt safer with me at 5'7, than anyone else they've ever dated...some even after we've broken up (you know...those 'reminiscing' conversations you have sometimes?). My sons mom STILL calls me when she's being threatened by her brothers (this happens with surprising regularity). I told her last time 'Why are you calling me? Why isn't your boyfriend taking care of this?'

    Her boyfriend is 5'10"...210lbs, I'm 5'7", 190lbs.
