Because there's a security in being protected, even if it's just by size. That's the best answer I can come up with. :] It's also my own personal preference. And I do love being tall! Promise!Da Chi said:
Ugh... a muscle head... I hate those guys.Thebiggestpanda said:
One does not need to be tone. If it works for you, fine, but its unnecessary, and for some of us, impossible.
I'd be willing to bet quite a bit of money that your increase in female attention comes more from you being much more comfortable with your body than you were before hand.
On a side note... you used to weigh 152 at 5' 10"? Shit. I'm 5' 10", and if I go below 190 I look like a cancer patient, no matter how much weight training I do (Actually floating around 210 now though, due to some physical issues and the fact that I don't give much stock to looking good. I'm still more physically fit than alot of people that weigh much less than I do, barring cardio [Chronic Bronchitis is a *****]).
I once dated a girl who was 6'6" (Compared to my 5' 10"). It was... weird. We both felt awkward. So I understand why you'd have to find one massive guy to date.she_never_was said:
Also: Last week, at a Ball where I was ushering, I got the dirtiest look in existance from a tall women. Her chest was where everyone's head is supposed to be, and while I was scanning the crowd for someone, I got into a staring contest with her boobs.
She was not pleased.
From my experience Girls like guys who aren't me. I'm tall (6'2") but not large so you should be ok. On the subject of tall men/short women I tend to like women shorter than me, but then I don't really know that many 6'3" women.
Ouch, harsh.AccursedTheory said:
She's just self centered, thinking the world is after her tittage.
In a lot of asian countries (think thailand, myanmar that general region) fat is still a sign of prosperity and wealth. "I can afford to be fat" meaning you can a) purchase food in excess to achieve rotundity and b) are wealthy enough to not need perform physical labour yourself. That's how it was in most places before hollywood.Da Chi said:
I'm 6' and 110. People have all sorts of interests and usually have more than one type, I don't think I've ever been turned down on the basis of "too skinny".AccursedTheory said:
My sister used to have a preference for tall skinny guys, but she married a guy who's 5'10" and what I like to call "skinny fat".
To be fair, they were pretty awesome. But I was in Class A uniform, and I was being professional, damn it! I am not a lecherous hump!she_never_was said:
6' and 110... wow. I knew a guy like that... He used to date a girl that was the same height and just as skinny. I used to joke that them having sex must be like throwing a bunch of pointy, jagged rocks in a bag ad shaking them about.Dags90 said:
I crack myself up.
I suppose when you're used to getting stares, you get tired of it, and you are angry even when it's harmless...AccursedTheory said:
And that's another stereotype I hate, that all males are walking penises.(peni?)Girls can sit and giggle at a males physique, but guys are considered horrible beings because of it (not that they go giggle about girls..... often.). Can't we all be considered 'lecherous humps'? Humans are all (mostly) attracted by physical beauty.
[Note: There are exceptions to every rule. But we're all human, k?]
The problem is, I DIDN'T stare. It was face, face, face, left boob, right boob, face. Quick and efficient. But the mere fact that my gaze happened across her bosom seems to have offended her, which doesn't make sense to me, considering the dress she was wearing.she_never_was said:
As for the whole 'gawking is done by everyone' thing... I find it kind of rude one way or another, male or female. I was taught the 2 second rule... if you can't look, assess attractiveness, and look else where in less than 2 seconds, than its probably best you don;t commit it to memory. And if you can't stop yourself from giggling, or commenting to your 'bros' how nice that chicks rack is, than go the hell home, pervert.
Or somebody who wants to marry for that green card, anyway.orangebandguy said:
You know, I have to admit I always thought being overweight was a turn-off for women, but based on my own experiences recently I have not found that to be the case. I guess most women don't care as long as the overweight-ness is within an acceptable range.
That depends. What do you mean by "Big guys"
Do you mean fat guys, large framed men, muscular guys...?
I mean, I can be considered a pretty big guy since I'm 6'1 and have a giant frame and a barrel chest. Though I'm very thin at the same time.

Haha Im no muscle head, I just naturally have little bodyfat. The only reason I started gaining weight in the first place is for the military. I will admit that ive always been on the skinny side but I've never once been told that I look like a cancer patient haha. To be honest I've always been perfectly fine with my body. Its all about confidence and believing in yourself.
Do you mean big as in "big muscles" or as in tall? In my experience, women tend to go for tall men and reasonably muscled men. Being only 5 ft 7, I am not exactly "tall" by Australian standards, and I have had at least one woman tell me that was a critical factor in her decision not to like me. I bear no resentment against her for that - it's not her fault, and she is free to like who she likes and what physical characteristics she likes.
I am sensing a lot of anger at women who do not date shorter men on this forum. This is a ludicrous emotion to have - does not a woman have the right to like who she likes? I do not like being told that I must like women I do not find physically attractive, so why should women be forced to like men they do not find physically attractive? It makes no sense.
You have to play with the cards you're dealt with. Whining about your body does not do anyone any good. If you can take steps to alter your body in a way you want, then do so, and stop complaining. If you can't, learn to live with it. That's what I've done. I accept the fact that most men in Australia are taller than me, and frankly, I don't care. It doesn't bother me.
There's more to life than relationships. The world is so vast and huge, there is so much to learn, so much to do in this world. Relationships are important, but really, they are not everything.
Learn to live with yourself, because at the end of the day, you are yourself, and you can never leave yourself or spend time apart from yourself.
So in order to answer your question: yes, women, like men, have certain preferences in regards to who they find physically attractive. I recognize that I do not necessarily fit the criteria of an "attractive male" for most women. I am slightly too short, I am bone thing, and my skin is... well, pockmarked to say the least due to acne I had in my school years. It has improved since then, but it is still scarred.
I have learned to accept that and move on with life. It's really not that hard.
