ORIGINAL: SirDominic Hey, canyouguess. Good to see you back, haven't seen you post much in quite a while. As is being shown with the answers, most women prefer a guy taller than them. It is, I believe, a very biological function inherited from a long time ago. The bigger the guy, the better he can protect you from harm, be it wild animals, or men from another tribe, etc. And this is hardly exclusive to women. It has been shown again and again that taller men tend to get the better jobs, the higher paying jobs, etc. People in general like a man they can look up to, literally. Us guys not blessed with the height gene are often overlooked. As agirl said "It doesn't matter. Some men are tall, no matter what their stature is." This is more true than a lot of people realize. I have a friend who is 5'3, and always went for the over 6' guys, and they always turned out to be wimps, because she is a strong women, stronger than them. It took her a long time to realize that strong men come in all sizes. More importantly that simply being tall does not mean strength. She is now with someone a mere three inches taller than her, and has never met a more powerful man. It is interesting to me from a societal point of view that taller men with shorter women is so very common, but taller women with shorter men is almost unheard of. Not that it never happens, but it is quite rare. Don't you consider that fascinating? Namaste, Sir Dominic Interesting observation. I have only been with a man shorter than myself once, and I will admit that it was a huge turn off. For myself, it's not the 'the taller the man, the stronger the man' aspect, but rather just a personal preference that I have always had. Perhaps it's because I am the shortest person in my family so I have always liked tall.
