I think that the average white woman is 5’5". 5’6" is not tall for a woman unless she’s asian or something.



russell - if by short guy, you mean like Lakrosse-sized, then I agree, but if you mean like 2-3 inches under average, then i don’t, because they’re still taller than most women. I guess you’re a guy, but most short/average girls I know want to be taller and the taller ones seem to like their size (assuming they’re not really tall, like over 5’9. and tall men, or even average men, seem to prefer taller women…someone posted another thread about it a while ago. I guess it is harder for shorter guys when it comes to dating though…they can’t wear high heels



Your argument still makes no sense. Being taller than most women? Considering the aesthetics places on male height, it limits him significantly. There is little aesthetic value placed on female height (by men). It doesn’t limit them as much. I guess you didn’t bother trying to explain your “short girls are shorter than everyone” logic. Maybe you realized it didn’t make any sense.

And that one thread doesn’t explain anything. I prefer chicks around 5’5", pretty average. This question has been discussed in actual studies (not just college confidential polls) and the ideal female height is around average. Actually, some of the time, slightly below. But like I said, the influence of female height on attractiveness is small in comparison to male height. Unless you’re taller or almost as tall as the guy. Then it matters - a lot. Which is why taller chicks are at a disadvantage.



Russell: Hate to burst your bubble, but I’m 5’9" and a girl and don’t wish I was shorter. In fact I rather like being tall. I used to hate it when I was younger and taller than most everyone, but now I like being taller than alot of people.



How would that burst my bubble? I said every chick that I know. I don’t know you.
