Do tall men like petite women? Why do guys like short girls? What types of figures do guys like?

Why do tall men like short girls?

    Or maybe it’s the other way around: little girls like big guys, they need to be protected, protected, and against their background they look like inches)) But they have nowhere to go, so they live together. Well, plus even a man of average height is already tall for many girls, it simply depends on the difference in height.

    My friend says he’s tall (now I’m getting downvoted for this))), that it’s convenient to drink beer with a little girl! You can put a mug on her head! But I think that a big person feels that there is a small one nearby and he needs to be protected! The elephant was also friends with Moska!

    A woman is a priori a more fragile creature than a man, and a man’s task is to protect, cherish a woman, protect her, and protect her from harm. This looks more harmonious than a tall girl with a short guy next to her, since it is in nature that a man should be taller and more courageous, stronger than a woman.

    You know, it seems to me that these are prejudices. I am tall (for a woman, much above average height), my husband is generally a basketball player in terms of height. And I didn’t observe any inclinations towards small women. It seems to me that such things are invented by those who, due to lack of self-confidence, cannot arrange their personal lives. Well, for example, a tall woman, due to problems with her character (or too high a standard), cannot find a worthy man. And instead of changing her attitude, becoming attractive and attractive to a man, she hides behind the fact that she decides that all the troubles are because of her height. It's like men don't like plump women.

    The fact is that if a woman knows how to be a woman, then a man does not care about her height, weight, or eye shape. he will consider her the most beautiful, and himself incredibly lucky.

    because such girls look more feminine, tenderly young, they are light, you can carry them on your hands and in heels, they look beautiful and fit the height of the guys, most of them are not very tall, the woman is the weaker sex, she should be fragile, tender, and not a thunder woman with men on an equal footing, only gays like them this is not feminine, the beauty of a woman does not depend on being tall, this is nonsense, you can be tall and have a long torso and short legs, the main thing is that the figure is good, look at the ballerina, is she worse than tall or does she have ugly legs, complete nonsense

    Firstly, this statement is more than controversial; tall men love short girls at most no more often than other men. Well, secondly, having entered the shaky ground of psychoanalysis, we can assume that men love short girls because they subconsciously associate them with children and teenagers, that is, a priori such men can be suspected of latent pedophilia. Well, if they also like unisex girls, then latent homosexuality)))

Hello, dear readers of my blog!

They say that a woman I’m always a little dissatisfied with myself: I want to curl straight hair, straighten curly ones, make thin lips more voluminous, and voluminous ones more graceful... But there are things that we are powerless to correct: neither with plastic surgery, nor with cosmetic procedures. Growth is just such a thing. Yes, there are complex surgical interventions on bones that allow

to become taller or shorter by 5-10 centimeters, but this method is very expensive, and it is also so painful and dangerous that it is difficult for me to even imagine that it can be resorted to for aesthetic reasons, and not for extreme medical reasons.


By the way, I once already wrote about . Be sure to read this article if you haven't already.


Actually, short stature - this is not a disease, not a deviation, not abnormal syndrome , this is our nature. Therefore, the first and best thing a short woman can do for herself is to admit that there is nothing “wrong” in nature: each of us is perfect in our own way. The second and most important thing is to recognize that miniature height is an advantage, and not at all a disadvantage, as it suddenly seemed to you before. The third and most difficult thing is height - this is almost the last thing that guys evaluate in girls.

Now I will tell you a little more about each of these three points, and at the end there will be a small bonus for attentive readers! But first things first.

Nature is aristocratic

The founder of complex psychoanalysis, Carl Jung, often repeated the phrase “nature is aristocratic” in his writings. He was right, of course. Look for yourself: everything created by nature is initially perfect. Our task is only to maintain what was given to us from birth in the best possible condition.



Let's do one simple thing together now. Let's go to the mirror and look at our reflection from top to bottom. Hair, face, posture, clothes, figure, shoes. How much of this can you influence? For all! Now look at what is given and will remain with you unchanged: eye shape, skeletal features, height, leg size. What can be changed about this? Nothing! But here’s an amazing thing: sometimes it seems to us that just one detail spoils our appearance, and if we change it, everything will be perfect. This is a delusion that poisons the lives of thousands amazing women.

No one from the outside evaluates us “separately,” “in parts.” From the outside they always evaluate the integral image that we create ourselves: from our mood to our gait. We have a truly huge field for working on ourselves - this is character , inner world, appearance, which can be polished endlessly, becoming a completely unattainable ideal for thousands of men, but we get stuck on what we cannot change - and, as a result, we lose the entire image. Once again: men do not evaluate height separately from proportions, ankles separately from shoes, and breast size separately from posture. Men appreciate an image that we can completely and completely control, making it feminine or sporty, swift or smooth, graceful or dull. Guys pay attention to a shining look and healthy hair, well-groomed hands and flexibility of movements, a sense of humor and tact. You really can be absolutely anyone with a small stature: fat or thin , active or sophisticated, cheerful or mysterious.

The main thing is that you are happy with who you are, even alone with yourself, and then, just take my word for it, guys will idolize you.

I have several friends who are dating or are already happily married to men who are much taller than themselves, literally 30-40 cm. Some of them even gave birth to wonderful children, and, by the way, their pregnancy and the birth was completely problem-free and easy. Of course, in this matter, overall health, mental state and other important things are important, but the very fact that the mother’s short stature will not negatively affect the bearing of the baby.

Watching them from the outside, I catch myself thinking that the first thing you pay attention to is the harmony of relationships, the way people look at each other and communicate with each other, and the difference in height is so unimportant for them that You immediately understand a simple truth: for true love there are no conditions.

For myself, I decided a long time ago that there are no disadvantages to being 152 cm tall, there are minor difficulties, nothing more.



Yes, if you are short, it will most likely be a problem to find good, beautiful shoes in sizes 33-35, but this can be solved - there are boutiques and salons that specialize in them. Another noticeable inconvenience is the selection of clothes (dresses, trousers and jeans will most likely have to be taken straight to the atelier to be tailored to fit your height - and this, whatever one may say, is an additional expense). Otherwise, these are purely everyday inconveniences - for example, it is inconvenient to get a cup from the top shelf, clear snow from the roof of a car, or in a store you have to ask the manager to get an item that is difficult to reach.

If you think that height is a disadvantage, then we are dealing with complex . The best way to win complex - find an effective counterbalance to it, i.e. turn an apparent disadvantage into an undeniable advantage.

Truth, like a coin, always has two sides, and those girls who enjoy life only try on the sunny side of it. Just try it, it's not difficult at all.

  • Not “I look 14 years old,” but “my height prolongs my youth.” By the way, a miniature girl subconsciously makes those around her want to take care of her - I’ll immediately make a reference that if you have a strong feminist streak, this is not from the “gender and weakness” series, this is banal human attention to someone who looks more fragile and graceful.
  • Not “I won’t become a fashion model,” but “I can become an unconventional fashion model.” By the way, there are many such girls; I will tell you about their life and success stories in another article.
  • Not “I’m complex and I envy tall girls,” and “I can afford any heels and they will always be appropriate”

Probably many have heard the phrase “little women are made for love,” and this phrase has a simple explanation: we are easier to carry in our arms!

There are also several household advantages that can be noted: petite girls fly on airplanes and drive cars with great comfort - their knees don’t rest anywhere, there is more space; it is easier to master extreme sports; and, according to doctors, small people live longer.

The point is the attitude that you give yourself - and those around you read exactly this attitude from you, your attitude towards yourself + the image that you made yourself, what you have achieved and who you want to be.

“Whiskers, paws... the main thing is the tail!”

Let's imagine a situation where there is an ideal girl somewhere. She is perfect in absolutely everything: she has long thick hair and eyelashes, a wasp waist, neat and strong hips and breasts, she takes care of herself, attends dances, and spa treatments. Let's add as a plus a light disposition, an active life position and an amazing lively mind. One “but”: small height. Do you think this could be an obstacle to having a wonderful, loving person in her life? I think definitely not. I would even give a lot to look at a man who would refuse to build a relationship with her.

Guys, however, are different, and this also needs to be kept in mind. One day I was told a story about how a girl was suffering. She fell in love with a tall man, and he directly told her that he would not date her because of her height. Just a typical horror story, right? But here’s a thing that immediately came to my mind.

In one episode of the series “Sex and the City,” the heroine analyzes men who are interested in models. What conclusions does she get? Unambiguous: tall and “typical” women from the catwalk are loved by guys who themselves are not so good in life and business, but a slender, tall woman next to them compensates for their own shortcomings.

This is not a movie fiction, these are real patterns of behavior. Why Does craving for “models” reveal problems in a man? Because a truly strong and confident man never pays attention to height. Just remember this as an axiom. A strong man will always have a desire to take care, patronize, be a support for his beloved girl - and never (NEVER!) he will ask himself even jokingly: “What about 150 centimeters in a companion?” how much is this? - is it a lot or a little for me?” Kindness, mutual understanding and spiritual closeness cannot be measured with a ruler.

I think you now understand the real answer to the question posed at the beginning of the article.

And I didn’t forget about the promised bonus!

These are world artists, Russian and Soviet stars, true beauties , who by their example show us that even in show business, cinema and the stage there are no boundaries that a talented person of non-standard height cannot push.

Edith Piaf 147 cm, Shakira 150 cm, Kylie Minogue 153 cm, Yulia Volkova 154 cm, Lady Gaga 155 cm, Christina Aguilera 156 cm, Gillian Anderson 157 cm, Eva Longoria Parker 157 cm, Svetlana Svetikova 157 cm, Salma Hayek 157 cm, Elizabeth Taylor 157 cm, Yulia Savicheva 159 cm, Sarah Jessica Parker 160 cm, Scarlett Johansson 160 cm.

Just look at these big names and their small stature. Remember what these look like women , and how much they gave to world culture. Causes their popularity in complete self-realization, self-control and work on oneself - the universal commandments of success. They shone, lived and live their lives to the fullest, were and remain desired by millions of men all over the world. Because men, if they really are men, choose worthy women of ANY size. This is what the world rests on.

Believe yourself, love yourself and remember... You don’t need all the men in the world, but only the one and only one for whom you will be the whole world.

Everyone probably knows that in ancient times a strong male brought a short but strong female to live in his cave. Nature told him that a short woman was more resilient to the hardships of life and would give him healthy children without any problems. And she chose a large male, also guided by intuition, since survival required a breadwinner and protector.

Literary examples

If you look for other examples to prove the stated topic, then turning to the literature will give you what you are looking for. “...Sometimes a little foot walks here, a golden curl curls,” writes A.S. Pushkin about female charm in one of his poems. A small leg is a small maiden. And then the imagination will recreate the whole image without much difficulty: a short, well-shaped figure with a thin waist, blond hair, perhaps curly, a slightly flirtatious look of gray eyes from under thick eyelashes...

I can’t help but remember the portrait of the young Countess Maria Lopukhina. The famous Russian artist of the 18th century Vladimir Borovikovsky created the image of a small, charming, childishly defenseless girl. She is all like an elegant figurine. However, the young countess is aware of her attractiveness. One can feel the depth and complexity of her nature. One can see yet undisclosed sexual energy, which she is ready to give to her chosen one.

Let us allow ourselves one more literary example. And again about women's legs. The 18th-century French novelist Retief de la Bretonne effusively praised their virtues. To see a gentleman’s leg, and even a tiny one, suddenly flashing from under a lady’s long dress while dancing is a rare happiness! Fantasy will immediately complete the rest of the seductive female figure.

You see: in the 18th and 19th centuries, men also admired miniature women!

But what about in our time? Modernity corrects the idea of ​​beauty and femininity. But if the issue of the love of representatives of the stronger half of humanity for miniature ladies is still being discussed, then this is relevant.

Scientists' opinions

  • A recent study by British scientists has proven that our contemporaries prefer the small and fragile. Representatives of the stronger sex choose women up to 162 cm in height for marriage;
  • In 2000, the UK Center for the Study and Development of Children summed up the results of many years of research (observation began in 1958). Data analysis showed that tall men more often married short women, up to 162 cm;
  • psychologists assure that the well-being of a marriage is determined precisely by the proportions of husband and wife. A marriage will sooner or later fall apart if, according to psychologists, the husband’s height does not exceed the wife’s height. Convincing examples of incompatibility between couples are given. For example, Nicole Kidman (180 cm) and Tom Cruise (170 cm), Lolita Milyavskaya (173 cm) and Alexander Tsekalo (167 cm). At the same time, persistent marriages are called: Victoria Beckham (168 cm) and David Beckham (183 cm), Tony Blair (172 cm) and his wife Sherry (156 cm);
  • a man is by definition an owner, a master. He wants his wife to submit in everything. It is easy to control the weak and frail;
  • a short wife for a tall, strong man is a way to demonstrate this same strength against her background. He will be her assistant, protector, “stone wall.” His male pride will increase to unprecedented heights. A man will feel his importance not only in the eyes of his lovely companion, but also wherever they may appear together;
  • The strong half of humanity considers small women to be the most tender and sexy. The last characteristic has a solid basis. Doctors say that short girls mature sexually faster;
  • short girls attract the attention of tall men, and vice versa. Explanation: opposites are attracted to each other. A kind of compensation;
  • stereotype. A man should be taller than his life partner.

Forced loneliness does not have the best effect on the fair sex. Psychologists note the fact that the longer a girl is single, the lower her self-esteem becomes. Confidence in one’s own attractiveness disappears, and in return many misconceptions and myths appear about what kind of women men like.

In our article we will look at the 10 most common misconceptions. Perhaps readers will see that they are not 100% true, but with them they will be able to meet a good man much faster.

What kind of girls do men like?

1. Men only like thin people.

This phrase often flashes in the minds of not only fat women weighing a hundredweight, but also girls with just a couple of extra pounds. “First I need to lose weight, and then I will actively start looking for my loved one!” - isn’t this your idea?

But look around, take a closer look at the women on the street, in transport, in stores. Of course, there are models among them. But you can regularly see plump wives and mothers of charming babies, and next to them are their husbands, who look at them with admiring eyes. Do you see that you can’t equate extra pounds with failures in your personal life?

2. Men like glamorous girls.

This myth is often heard on the TV screen, and glossy magazines write in every issue that without a combat arsenal in the form of false eyelashes, nails, and hair extensions, it is impossible to conquer a man. They also provide a list of one hundred items that every self-respecting girl should have in her makeup bag.

Of course, it is beneficial for cosmetic product manufacturers to support this myth. But girls looking for their man should remember how their boyfriends told them more than once that they love naturalness. Guys won't mind moderate makeup on their loved one when going to a party or birthday party with friends. But at home, they want to see their companion with natural beauty.

3. Men only like girls with big breasts.

This is what size 1 women tell themselves and decide that their chances of finding a decent man are close to zero. This is nothing more than a complex. Men care about the appearance of their chosen one, but not every one of them will appreciate your desire to undergo breast enlargement surgery.

Some will worry about your health, while others cannot afford the cost of such intervention. And there are known cases when a girl made up her mind, but the guy just disappeared. In addition, many women with small busts have families, children and even - believe it or not - feel happy.

4. Men like short girls.

Girls with above average height feel that they are losing to their smaller rivals. Is it really? The thing is that in our society it has traditionally developed that a man should be taller than his beloved, at least two centimeters, but taller.

It turns out that with a height of 160 cm, a woman really has more choice than a tall and long-legged model twenty centimeters taller. But growth should not be considered a serious reason for failures on the personal front. After all, there are plenty of tall men too. And among couples where the wife is taller than the husband, harmony in the relationship is quite possible.

5. Men have little interest in women over thirty.

This myth arose probably thirty years ago. In those days, a girl whose age was approaching the ominous figure of “thirty” had little hope of getting married. She either remained alone, or agreed to the most seedy option, just to start a family.

And now many girls get married at twenty. However, another approach to this problem has emerged: first climb the career ladder, provide support for yourself and your future baby, and then look for a worthy companion. But for some reason, men make very high demands, believing that they have benefited the “poor old maid.”

6. Men love weak women.

This point deserves close attention. In modern realities, a “weak woman” is not one who is unable to earn money for food and new lipstick, but for diapers and toys for her child. No, men, on the contrary, have a very positive perception of women who have achieved success in their careers.

At the same time, all representatives of the fair sex, including strong business women, must learn not to emphasize their leading role. Even if their salary is ten times higher than their husband’s salary, they need to unobtrusively and naturally emphasize that he is the head of the family. If the task seems too difficult, you will have to pay for your superiority in loneliness.

7. Men don't take marriage seriously.

No, to think that only women need a family, and that the stronger sex does not strive for family and children at all, is a wrong position. Of course, until about 25 years old, this opinion may be fair, and a guy finds the idea of ​​going to a nightclub rather than taking his baby out for a walk much more attractive.

But several years pass, men become more mature and responsible and also begin to think about a life partner and keeper of the family hearth. As statistical surveys have shown, 80% of men are looking for a companion not for meetings once or twice, but for a serious relationship and starting a family.

8. Men like bitches, not calm, “homey” girls.

This myth, most likely, was invented by harmful girls, for whom communicating with a guy without displaying bitchiness is a fantastic phenomenon. What can you say about this? Indeed, a relationship with a bitch can evoke a whole range of different emotions in a guy. He may even assume that he has met the love of his life.

But a little time passes, and the guy gets tired of being in constant tension, waiting for a call, fulfilling more and more demands of such a fatal beauty. And it is possible that he will get tired of such a “roller coaster” and for family life will choose a girl of a completely different type: kind, calm, affectionate.

9. Men like women who are experienced in bed.

And again, similar to the previous point, there are two possible cases here. When a guy is just in the mood for a few meetings, he will choose the option of an experienced girl with whom he can just relax and have fun, enjoying her freedom and passion.

However, when choosing a future wife and mother of their child, men consider the extensive intimate experience of their chosen one to be more of a minus than a plus. Some guys go even further and want to marry an exclusively innocent girl. Perhaps they understand that over time they will begin to ask their significant other about her experience and experience pangs of jealousy: “But it wasn’t me who taught her this pose.”

10. Men don't like girls who argue with them.

But now the arrangement of family life according to Domostroi is no longer in fashion. Husband and wife are equal partners, each of them has the right to express their opinion and express dissatisfaction if something does not suit them. If a woman always says “Yes,” she may even begin to be suspected of insincerity and a very strong desire to keep her companion - to keep her at any cost.

It is possible and even necessary to argue with a guy and express your opinion. Just don’t start doing this from the first meeting. Therefore, at the beginning of a relationship, it is not recommended to discuss politics, religion and other topics that can easily lead to conflicts.

And in conclusion, we want to say that men like a variety of women: brunettes and blondes, thin and fat ones, confident business women and quiet “gray mice”. We wish you to meet your soulmate in the year of the Horse.


When you see such couples, you always experience slight bewilderment, and sometimes it is not easy. It seems, well, why do this, can these people really attract each other, well, it’s strange. But there really is such a trend - big men like small women. I don’t even have to look far for examples - this can be clearly seen in my family - grandparents, uncle and his wife. The men are tall and large, and the women are barely over one meter fifty. And in my life I have observed such couples more than once. So why do tall guys like short girls?

Previously, it seemed to me that this was generally such a joke of nature - there are not only a lot of tall guys, but they also prefer miniature girls. Well, is this fair? What should we, the tall ones, do? Again, what is the harmony in this that nature loves so much?

The girl is taller than the guy

Although the opposite situations are not uncommon - couples in which the girl is taller than the guy occur quite regularly. Why does this happen if we are genetically programmed according to which a woman should be smaller than a man? And therefore, every time watching such couples, I want to correct it, as if it were something wrong, some kind of deviation that will not bring happiness to this union.

Only recently, once again watching a couple, this suddenly occurred to me. I don’t remember, maybe that couple had a child, a boy or a girl, maybe they were both tall, but I thought about this: if both parents are so tall, then how tall will their daughter be?

After all, girls, as a rule, grow shorter than their father, but taller than their mother, so if the mother is short, then the daughter also has a chance not to reach ninety meters. If both parents are tall, then there is practically no chance, and it’s good if she is at least the same height as her parents, but what if she’s even taller? And then, it seems, I was completely imbued with the design of nature, according to which big men like small women, and tall girls choose guys shorter than them.

From my experience

I myself am tall, 182 cm, model height, as they say now. My happiness is that I was born at a time when tall height is even considered a certain advantage, but even so, all my life I have to endure certain inconveniences because of it. So when I see girls taller and bigger than me, I can’t help but think that even if I, as a rule, often find myself taller than all the people around me, then how do such girls feel?
This applies to everything - both clothes and shoes, and especially, of course, the sensations next to men, most of whom turn out to be hopelessly inferior to you.

Although the most interesting thing is that tall girls often like guys shorter than them. I myself, for example, have always been attracted to tall men purely hypothetically, as an idea. But when it came down to it, my choice each time fell on fairly compact representatives of the stronger sex, so that they were all a little shorter than me. But what about the desire inherent in us by nature to choose a mate to match ourselves? Why doesn’t it work and we don’t find compatible partners? I always considered this to be something wrong, and stereotypes, of course, do their job, they put pressure and prevent you from being happy, even if the relationship itself suits everyone...

What causes the big difference in height?

And only recently I suddenly thought that there seemed to be no wrong with this. After all, what would happen if the tall chose the tall and they had even taller children? And at the same time, the short ones would meet with the short ones, and their children would turn out just as small?

Apparently, at some point, some kind of fuse, wisely installed by nature, is triggered, and we begin to strive to average our growth in procreation. And that’s why very tall guys like very short girls, and tall girls are attracted to guys shorter than themselves - after all, it is precisely these couples who will ultimately produce offspring who will feel normal among the people around them.

So don’t be perplexed when looking at couples with a large difference in height, don’t feel sorry for girls who are taller than their boyfriends. There is a high probability that they really find each other very attractive. Big men are delighted with small women, small women are delighted with their big men. And tall girls like the fact that their guys are of normal average height, and guys of average height are proud to have tall girls next to them. In this way, everyone harmoniously complements each other, and you never know, some of them will actually have children together, and these children, with a high degree of probability, will not have to feel disproportionate to the entire world around them.
