Why is a man's attractiveness defined by his height???

5'9'' is nothing to sniff at! My boyfriend/fiance is 5'6''! I'm 5'5'', so we're pretty much the same height. Doesn't matter!

I'm 6 ft 3, and girls don't even like looking at me lol, I think it's a debunked theory =]

Aww!

Be nice to yourself, you're not a bad looking lad- just need some confidence!

*is 4'10" and has always been into guys atleast a foot taller...dunno why just a preference...kinda like why some guys choose *kitten* over boobies...=P

My hubby is 5'7. He's wayyy hot to me. I'm 5'3, so he's perfect for me. Definitely don't discriminate men on the "shorter" side.

Probably been said in the 18 pages before, but why is a woman's attractiveness defined by her waist size and her cup size? THANKSSSS. It's all personal preference.

It's not. They may contribute (and not necessarily in the way you might think)...but neither of those is a deciding factor for me of whether a woman is attractive or nor.

I am 5'7 and my husband is 6'4. I've ALWAYS been attracted to taller men! I like to wear heels even though I'm tall and don't have to worry about being taller than my husband when we are out together.

Maybe it's more of a "they could protect me" kind of thing? I'm not sure really. I guess I just like what I like!

Well said.

5'11 and I dated shorter guys before, 5'7-5'8. I guess height is a bigger issue for shorter ladies since in general they go for much taller men.

I don't go by a man's height when looking for a relationship. Height is way down there on my list. I have dated really tall guys over 6 feet tall and I have date guys who are my height 5'4. To me it's all about confidence in a man. If they are short and have confidence then that is the best thing in the world.

I'm 4'10. So any man I've ever dated have been taller than me. The shortest was 5'4 and my husband is 5'9. I don't discriminate against height.

I thought about this thread while I was in the gym the other day working out amongst men of varying heights. There was a man who was freakishly tall...I'd guess close to 7 foot, and at the other end a man who was tiny, seriously well under 5 foot. It was actually comical to see these too extremes at the same time. I looked at the tall guy and wondered if maybe he was too tall even for women attracted only to tall men. I realized that while I have never consciously measured a man's attractiveness by his height, I have actually dated only a handful of tall guys, and have never seriously dated a tall guy. So maybe I do measure a man's attractiveness by his height and it happens I find guys closer to my height more attractive. Or maybe not a lot of tall guys are attracted to me.

I am probably a little strange, but I honestly think most guys are attractive... I guess I am just a lover not a hater. That being said I do prefer tall guys as a partner for me. But that is because I am insecure about my own size and like to be smaller than my partner. Nothing to do with who I think is hot.

I'm surprised this thread is still going.. And natalia, I agree, if a man can't hold me up against a wall, not happening. lolllzzzz

I'm 5'5 and my boyfriend is 5'6. Sure, I would like it if he was taller, (only for the sake of me being able to rock some Steve Madden pumps at winter formal/prom), but he's a hottie anyways.. So, I don't mind!

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

Told by whom? All of us *could* be more attractive, you know? But I think any person that tells you that isn't worth your time. Keep looking.

Does it matter if the guy is taller than you or it's a deal breaker if he's not a certain designated height?

My husband is an inch or so shorter than me and he is gorgeous!!

If you meet the right lady, she won't care.
If she is so shallow that she only looks at your height and nothing else - you can do better!
