Citizen Erased Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You know, one thing I am noticing about this thread? Short girls "tend" to prefer (or end up with) really tall guys. Taller girls are OK with someone their height or a little taller. Or am I just reading too much into it? I'm 5'1" and I don't require really tall guys. If anything they tend to avoid me.

No I think youre right Its like a lot of Plain Janes want really good looking guys and a lot of gorgeous girls are ok with average looking guys Im not saying thats always the case, of course, but there is something to it Link to post Share on other sites

Just try chatting up a plain jane if you're good looking and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites

Not that height matters if you can protect your girl or not (it doesn't, trust me). But some women need that "security".... Just a theory though. Link to post Share on other sites
dreamergrl Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hey... I just don't feel right if a guy is 'smaller' then me. I'm not a big girl to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites

Not that height matters if you can protect your girl or not (it doesn't, trust me). But some women need that "security".... Just a theory though. I feel more secure around taller, lean men. I used to date a guy that was slightly shorter and very thin - I feel as though I had to protect him instead of the other way around. It was proven as well and it was a total turn off for me.

SoulSearch_CO Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I wish I was shorter... I've had my eye on a few guys, but they are exactly my height, and for some reason that is such a turn off. Perhaps they should take to wearing those booster shoes. Orthopedic lifts. Now that's hot. Link to post Share on other sites

Whether they are tall or short, skinny or thick, it doesn't matter. It's not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man. Trust me. I am only 5'10" and as a former Marine, I was picked on a lot (not being 6'2" tall) so naturally, bigger guys used to pick fights with me because they felt I was a push over. See, I had nothing to lose in the fight. But they, they had everything to lose. Suffice to say, I never lost a fight and never walked away with a black eye. They, on the other hand, had to explain to their Sgt. why they had a black eye and how a guy 50lbs lighter and 4 inches shorter than them kicked their tail. In other words, you picked a wimpy guy that had nothing to do with his size Link to post Share on other sites

Birdy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 OK, I'm 5'8" and I do need to feel protected; that's part of the reason, I guess, why I usually go for guys around 6'2"-6'3"... My most recent ex (C2) was the same height as my current BF A (5'10") and around the same weight (140 lbs./10 stone) but he has no muscle tone whatsoever whereas A is wiry. C2 is not only small and weak but a total p*ssy to boot. Like, I'd heard of him getting his a*s whooped outside venues a few times and he couldn't fight back. I used to tell him to get a knife or something because a woman needs to feel protected, and he would answer, "What is this, the dark ages? What do you need to be protected from? Are there people jumping out from alleys to mug and rape you?" Well, actually, given his history, the answer is probably YES! Everyone assumes that C2 is gay until he informs them otherwise. He's quite effeminate. A, on the other hand, trained in martial arts for years and is a skilled gunman and archer. He carries a flip knife on his person and there are brass knuckles and samurai swords in the house. He is brimming with testosterone. I feel completely safe with him. And like I said, they're both the same modest height and weight. So CaliGuy is right, it's the size of the fight in the guy that matters. Link to post Share on other sites
silverfish Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My ex was the the same height as me (5'11) and my boyfriend is 6'3. My boyfriend is more of a thinker than a fighter but I've noticed tends to attract the attention and jealousy (?) or shorter aggressive men. I don't think that you need a man to protect you, why don't you just buy some pepper spray if you are really concerned, or learn some self defence. Carrying knives around is not a good idea, your brain is your best weapon in most situations. I like my boyfriend being taller than me although we do need a bigger bed & bath.

If you pick the metro-sexual wuss boy, he's not going to be very protective of himself, much less you. I also don't think he needs to specialize in martial arts or carry weapons around to prove that he's a capable protector. The point is, if you pick a guy based on size thinking you "feel" protected, well that's fine and dandy but doesn't mean you ARE protected Some of biggest pansies I know are over 6'2"...and couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Ruby Slippers Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My strongest, most masculine and athletic, and most protective boyfriend was just 2 inches taller than I. His hands were about twice as big as mine, and he could handle me like I was a feather. I loved that when we were out walking around the city at night, he would always move to the side of me where a random guy walking the other way was approaching. He'd move over and practically form a protective cape over me on that side. Man, that made me swoon. I don't need a man to protect me, but it sure is nice when he does. I live alone, keep a can of Whoop Ass by my bed (yes, that's what it's called ), and sometimes walk around the city alone at night. But it sure does make you feel all warm and fuzzy when your guy looks after you like that. Link to post Share on other sites
