Why are Ladies Crazy About Tall Guys?

It is a common thing to hear ladies saying that their type of men should be tall. Why this craze for tall men?

I guess it comes from the societal standards. The perfect man (especially our everyday model) is this tall, broadshouldered and well built guy. So I guess maybe unconsciously the ladies' pysches have been tuned towards that.

Then on second thoughts, why would a girl want to go for someone shorter that she is?

one question pls... r u short?

Olatunji, would you like short girls as your best ?

I'm a tall guy and I generally prefer shorter girls! Is this a common occurence?

Everyone wants what's good, but I think we girls always attach too much importance to men's physique (I am no exception, mind you!)  I always want my men tall, broadchested, handsome.  It just adds to a lady's confidence about her guy.  I always feel like a G when I go to someplaces with a tall guy.  Every girl stirs his way, admires him & wishes they were his girl. 

So don't blame we girls for liking the tall guys.  At least we wont date guys shorter than us. LOL

I most certainly like tall guys but I guess that's because I'm quite tall and can't possibly date a shorter guy. Now if I was shorter..... ummm.... well, I really can't say if I would still go for guys as tall as 6'5'

Ok, here's a logical explanation.
The reason why ladies are crazy about tall guys is because a tall guys  equipment's gotta be tall too since he's tall right?
The taller he is, the taller he's equipped(IMO)

mamba dear,...... get off cheap and expired drugs. Your 'logical' explanation is neither here nor there.

Mamba, how wrong you are. That's not why a girl would love to date a tall guy. Youu re absolutely wrong; there are many guys who are short but they've got bigger & longer members ('equipment' if I use your word)

So get that off your mind straight away, ok?

Really, I can't imagine myself in a relationship with a guy shorter than me. I love tall and good looking guys. And one thing I cherish most is a warm and affectionate hug from my man, you know, I get to rest my head on his chest each time he does that but with a short man, that might not be possible.

I know that is not the most important thing, you know, it all depends on what I feel for him but the fact is I can never go in for a shorter guy.

Mamba, it's not a matter of how long or short his 'equipment' is cos the so-called equipment sometimes destroy relationships so why would I fall for a man because of his ...... inches?

hot pikin, I'm not short, neither am I particularly tall. [I](or no be me u dey talk to?[/I])

well I'm 5'10¾" 

does it matter...how tall or short I am, so far I got the vibes or the style to make one happy 

and tayotina, how on earth do u know if the guy that is good looking for you may not be someone's Gollum(with apology to lord of the rings' fans) (. I'm sure stella finds obj good looking(I know mean anything oooooooo!)

hey just a new member in here nd hope to find gud friends
well, i think girls generally go for tall guys because... well bcose you cant possibly go out wit a guy you have to bend to kiss or look at. (well dats not reason enough) but maybe not all girls think dat way, who knows?
the guy doesnt need to be dat tall, just sloghtly taller than u, dats it.
k kisses to ya alll!!!

talking about kisses, i've always had this idea of short guys jumping to kiss their heartthrob, or standing on an elevated object to kiss a tall girl...wrong imaginations i think...

yes imagine how funny
hope u're tall 2, make women no dey blast u oo

Personally i don't blame ladies (to a degree) i myself prefer ladies that are shorter than myself (would be embarasssing if in an argument the girl conveniently gives me a knock on the head - actually it's more than that) but a man is supposed to be the head of the family and it's easier to defer to someone who is taller than u. The only issue i have is those not tall women who prefer very tall guys - though they could also argue that they don't want their children to be so tall

Allenpowered, when I say I love good looking guys, I know what I mean and when I see one, I recognise him immediately.  You know what I mean, don't you.  I go out with SOLID guys.

I believe that a sensible person will look beyond the looks when selecting a partner. As much as I like beautiful girls I will go for a level-headed person with something upstairs over a beautiful girl with character flaws. (What most men will do, I think, is that they'll go out with the beautiful girl, make sure sleep with her, but then look for a level-headed person to marry.)

Ok, what I'm saying is that inasmuch as a girl would love to go out with an attractive (tall, handsome, well-built, ...) guy, a sensible woman who understands life would 'settle for less' in the physical department when other more important qualities are there. Women, I believe, become 'sensible' when they are between 26 and 28 and their friends are getting married ...

Women become sensible after they've had disastrous relationships. They learn exactly whats important, and that in most cases, those hot tall-looking guys are pretty immature (I'm sure there are some who are not) and are not ready to grow up anytime soon.

Some give excuses on how they are searching for that ideal woman, while you are sure you've found your ideal man in him .

Point taken, Tayotina.

LOL! No be you jare. Na Olatunji I dey talk 2 ... my bad.

ok hot pikin let's talk beta talk, how tall are u. i don give u my stats, make i know your stats...abi now?

Well, I am a tall girl - abou 5" 7 and a half - so I do need a tall guy (but if it is that bad than the guy should he same height) but I would not date a guy shorter than me . Just ain't my thing (personal preferences)

Please girls, could you please educate an ignorant but willing to learn man like me how this works?

You meet a man who is caring, sensitive to your feelings, intelligent, responsible, funny, well-off, generous, handsome, honest... but shorter than you. Are you honestly telling me that you will completely discount all these pluses in favour of the one minus - his shortness? If you start having feelings of affection for him, will you quash those feelings and say "Over my dead body! I cannot - I must not - allow myself to feel anything for this short man!"?

well, i be 5 8"...like am?

hotpikin, like is an understatement- i love it. Don't mind me I come direct

I am not tall (well I wouldn't say I am short) so definitely, I would never go in for a man who is shorter than me or of the same height with me otherwise we might end up giving birth to dwarfs

Ladies are crazy about tall guys becos believe it or not it make them know the guy is in charge which they like, most girls would prefer guys to be in control of a relationship and been taller than the girl is the first step of being in charge. well i know alot of u out there would not agree with me so let me know your view. A.P.I i wanna know yours too

osascool, I agree with you.

Most ladies want guys to be in control & mere seeing their height gives them that sense of the guy being in control. But guess what? It's only an illusion that ladies love so much.

See, my dear, I can't really say why, but the only thing I will say is that maybe it's a natural phenomenon. I also prefer taller guys!
