why do most women prefer men 5'10" or taller?
460179
Most women I know don't specify a height, but they simply prefer the guy to be taller than them (including heels).  \n\nThat being said, I know quite a few married couples where the woman is taller, and it certainly doesn't seem to be a problem.

True, I struggle with this myself... My solution...? Look for someone in the 5'0"-5'5" height range... Stay away from 5'6" and up...though there are many tall girls that have no issues dating a shorter guy...\n\nJust keep looking...ultimately, you will find her...\n\nGood luck...

It's instinct.  Men are attracted to women who can provide healthy offspring.  Big boobs triggers in your instinct that this woman can easily provide nourishment for a child.  As for the tall, short thing, I'm not sure.  Chubby equals unhealthy, so that's why you aren't attracted to them, but I'm not sure why short women turn you on vs. tall.  Maybe your own height has something to do with that?  My boyfriend is 5'10, i'm 5'8 and he doesn't like it when I wear heels.  I think it may be an alpha male thing.  You can't look like a (tough) alpha male when your woman is taller than u.

It is around average.  You will still grow more in the next few years and I wouldn't be concerned.  Women are smaller in height on the average and I think many guys like shorter women.

I stand six feet tall and fell in love with a girl that is 4'11" and I must admit it was pretty cool in regards to the fact that she weighed so little ,about 98 pounds,I could pick her up in many ways,from in public to in the bedroom....Short women,in my opinion seem much more feminine,since they are smaller than me,making me feel that much more manly....From now on I think I will always have a thing for shorter girls....Tom Science 4

He may like women of a certain height. He could be short and want someone shorter than him or tall and want someone closer to his height. Likely the same reason you ask any questions about someone's appearance before you meet them.

short guys like to date tall women so they have someone to get stuff of the top shelf for them.  Same works for short women and tall men.

I'm 5'-3" and my wife is 5'-7".\nWe were in love long before we ever consciously observed that I am shorter than she is.\nWhat I mean is, I don't recall thinking about it as a factor (at least on my part).\nWhen we were taking our wedding photos, the photographer seemed to think it was weird, and kept trying to find ways to make me look at least as tall as her, but she (my wife) was like "It's reality, I'm taller and it doesn't bother us, so just take the pictures."\nI don't even think about it unless someone else mentions it, but I really don't think that our respective heights had anything at all to do with our being together.\nI know that some guys do have a complex about their height, so maybe its an ego thing for some of them, or possibly they are just trying to "breed for height", so their kids don't end up short like they are.\nPersonally, I wouldn't want to be taller (except once in a while when I'm reaching for something on a high shelf). God made me the perfect size for riding bucking horses, and I'd probably have been killed by now if I'd been built any taller.\nI think it's probably just that the majority of men are actually taller than the majority of women, so when you see a couple that is the other way around, its more noticeable.

It all depends on a girl. Their are some girls that don't care what the guys height is as long as she is happy with him. Some find it very attractive. It doesn't matter what the height is as long as you both feel comfortable in ochers presence who cares as long as your happy

Many things could, depends on the guy.  A tall woman could be too intimidating for a short guy.  Apparent success can make a lot of men too intimidated.  \n\nNot so sure about the answers saying good looks though, it's usually more than her just looking good that makes her intimidating, because what if she smiled at you... you'd be all over her.

i think that tall guys are way better than short guys. dont even worry, your gf is a jerk if she leaves you for being tall.

I like tall girls, but appearance shouldn't matter... I've dated short girls before

Because they are less heavily built.  On average men are taller, burlier, more muscular and hav thicker bones.  Women do not need huge manly feet as they are smaller and thus do not need to balance as much weight.

Yes. It goes back to the primitive needs. We are made to be attracted to certain features in order to have the best mate with the best. Survival of the fittest. Taller guys are more powerful, and have the genetics to bring taller children. this is not all ways the case, but having a tall father makes it more likely to have taller children. As well a woman feels more secure having a make that can protect her. We came about in an uncertain world, were it was a very brutal place to try to survive. for the same reason guys like women with wide hips, because they have a better chance at bearing children and surviving child birth.

my boyfriend is only 1/2 an inch taller than me. when we were first dating he said how much he loved that we were the same size, (his old girlfriend was like half his size.) but i don't like to wear heals around him too much because i'll be taller, (and all my friends are really short too!!) but my boyfriend says that he finds it a total turn on when i wear heals and am taller than him!!!\n\ni think it depends on the guy, but i think most guys don't care. and if they are crazy about the girl than the size doesn't matter at all!!

Since guys are typically taller than women, if you come across a guy and girl of the same height, the guy is likely "petite" in both height and weight.  Add to that the fact that women are curvier and naturally carry more fat, and it  may appear (and be true) that the girl is bigger than the guy.
