Why do girls like tall guys?

Question

Why do girls like taller guys? So you could find him in a crowd? Isn’t it awkward when a guy has to bend over to give you a kiss?

Answer 1

I think having a tall boyfriend makes a girl feel protected. She’s less likely to be hit on or harassed in public while standing next to a taller man. And in a lot of cases, that’s true. Simply being tall can inspire intimidation in others, whether or not you know how to fight.

I think it also makes women feel more feminine, like they’re supporting their man. If they’re the queen, they want a king, and height is a way of showing his superior status.

Answer 2

It’s true: most girls like to date a taller man. Maybe it stems from some instinctual feeling of wanting a man to protect her.

In my experience, when a man lacks in height, he makes up for in personality. It’s obviously not true for everyone, but some of the funniest guys I’ve met have been shorter than me. Because of my great experiences with shorter men, I’d never discriminate based on height. I think these kinds of preferences are more common in teenage girls. As people get older, they realize that small details like height are not so important, what really matters is finding a partner with a matching personality who makes you feel good about yourself.

Answer 3

Why do girls like tall guys? I don’t necessarily prefer tall guys. I’d just like a man to be taller than me. I like feeling small and feminine. Just an inch or two taller is fine, and I’m only 5’3, so that’s not big issue.

Answer 4

Evolution has caused women to prefer the “alpha male”. Anyone with “alpha” traits will be considered more attractive. Back in the time when size was more relevant, tall men were more likely to be alphas. This hard-wired preference evolved long before the geeks inherited the world.

While all other theories are completely valid, I believe the preference for larger men originates from this primal instinct.

Answer 5

Women like taller men for the same reason men like breasts. It’s a natural instinct linked to reproduction. Height implies health and strength, which implies a protective mate and healthy offspring. It’s not that women like tall men; it’s that they are wired to prefer them.
