Psychologists and researchers from all countries agree that choosing taller guys is a thing of the past. Since ancient times, women have sought to find a taller and stronger man. Only then could they feel safe. Such a man should cope with obtaining food and protecting the family hearth much better than a short male.
Tall men were good hunters, stronger warriors and held better positions as heads of state.
Another reason can be considered heredity. On a subconscious level, every woman sees in her man a person who will give her offspring. Of course, the children of such men will also be tall and strong, and they will be able to cope with illnesses more easily, although there are exceptions here. Nowadays, even two tall people can have a short baby; genetics gives us surprises where we don’t expect them.
Scientists have been able to prove that height brings happiness and success to men , they get married faster, start a family, and have children. Even their careers are progressing much better than those of short people. Humanity is growing every year, and every year the average height in the world is moving up. Now Russian men are losing only to Europeans, especially men from northern Europe. Even doctors are on the side of tall guys, they claim that such men live longer than short guys, it seems that nature itself has made a choice in favor of height. Although tall people are more likely to get cancer.
How true is this?
British scientists have established a connection between growth and family happiness. A tall guy finds a life partner faster, gets married sooner and has children. Researchers have found that the height of childless guys is 2-3 cm shorter, and married guys are 2.5 cm taller.
Girls choose tall boys because they feel more secure, which is explained by evolution.
In their careers, tall guys achieve more success than short people. Swedish scientists conducted an experiment and found that tall guys also have better social status and earnings. Young people taller than 194 cm are more likely to have higher education (2-3 times). Intelligence is also important for the opposite sex.
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.

Historically, it is the tall male that is associated with strength and power.
- Stately guys were considered stronger than those who were shorter and more often won the fight. This means that they protect a woman and their children more effectively, so ladies intuitively give them preference and consider them more adapted to survival. The reason is still relevant. The tall man gives off vibes of strength and confidence. A woman in his arms feels small, under reliable protection.
- Tall men often took leadership positions. When hunting, the leader controlled the entire team in the process of production. The total number of people in it is at least 10. Only a strong, stately man could be the leader. A tall person has a better view of the area. And it is more convenient to transmit signals to other participants. As a result, hunting will be more effective. Scientists call this phenomenon the “leadership advantage.” Based on this, the stereotype has become entrenched in the minds of women and continues to be inherited.
- The girl subconsciously looks for the best partner for procreation. After all, the offspring of a tall man will be stronger and better able to tolerate diseases.
Why are short boys not a priority?
Is it true that girls don't like short guys? Short boys have to make more efforts to attract the attention of girls than tall guys.
>However, with charisma and a good tongue, young guys are able to compete well with their tall friends. And they can even take you away from your last girlfriends.
Evolutionary reasons
We believe that we have long ago separated ourselves from the animal kingdom, but in fact we still have instincts and are dependent on genetic memory, we behave in the same way as wild animals , choosing a partner.
- It is believed that a tall man is able to take better care of his family , since he is more resilient and stronger than his shorter brothers, runs faster and throws a conventional javelin further. But if a short male has a more developed brain, which allows his owner to be smarter than others, then the benefit of having larger parameters is partially offset. And in some cases, miniature saves the situation, because tall people are accustomed to considering themselves invincible and quickly lose their vigilance, while short people are always on the alert, expecting tricks not only from strangers, but also from their relatives. Such sensitivity to the slightest changes around helps not only a small man to survive, but also his relatives.
- Large size is considered, especially among the Slavs, to be an indicator of good genetics , so many women are instinctively drawn to tall gentlemen, “counting” on strong and hardy offspring. However, evolution has proven that body size in survival is not as important as good adaptability and the ability to change behavior strategies in time.
Modern reasons
Why girls don't like short guys:
- Double aesthetic morality. On the one hand, everyone around is actively discussing the importance of a person’s inner world, and on the other hand, the vast majority of people are guided by the external data of their partners.
- Independence from public opinion is formed closer to the age of forty, and before that, especially before the age of 20, most girls suffer from terrible complexes, even if they seem very self-confident to outsiders. A prominent, tall, stately partner gives me the opportunity to assert myself and demonstrate to others how cool and attractive I am.
- The difference in the height of a couple, when it is taller, is always a challenge to public opinion and a reason for those around them to abundantly pour out their own opinion, which interests no one. Unfortunately, this creates a depressing atmosphere and not all couples are able to resist it.
- In the media and cinema, the idea is actively promoted that guys should strive to be Vikings, heroes and supermen , and this, implicitly, forms a picture in the consumer’s head that in a couple he should be taller than her or of the same height.
Modern reasons5
The instinct of sympathy is strengthened by the influence of society and personal beliefs.
- Imposing an opinion. It is believed that a man should be taller than a woman. Otherwise, couples face ridicule and judgment. For every 100 couples, there is only 1 where the girl is taller than the lover.
- Mass media stereotype. In almost all films and TV series, the partner is higher than the companion. And the union of a tall woman and a short man is typical of comedy plots. Therefore, public opinion clearly affects women’s preferences.
- Girls do not consider men shorter than themselves as lovers. Scientists are of the opinion that low lovers try much more to satisfy their partner. And in general, they are romantic and look after beautifully. And taller guys behave more selfishly.

- There is an opinion that high growth is proportional to the size of manhood. And this is a significant advantage.
- Girls like tall men as a general picture. Many people feel more confident in heels with a partner taller than themselves. A short man gives a woman a more powerful appearance.
- With a lover who is taller, it is more convenient to kiss, you do not need to bend over. Here, of course, you need to make sure that you don’t have to stand on a chair. Therefore, the optimal difference depends on your own height.
Women's opinion
If you ask the opinion of women themselves, to the question why they choose tall guys? You can hear quite varied answers.
Some people feel safe next to a tall man, as if behind a stone wall. Some people just want to wear high heels and at the same time remain in the shadow of their boyfriend. Some people feel fat and clumsy compared to a short guy. And some people are simply too lazy to bend over every time they want to kiss their loved one. Most likely, every woman will have her own unique answer to this question and her own reasons for choosing a guy higher than herself.
Naturally, a man's height has a significant impact only upon first meeting . In the future, the woman pays attention to the inner world of her chosen one, to his character, manner of communication, his behavior in various situations. He thinks what kind of father he will be, how he will treat his parents, whether he will be able to provide for her, and much more.
From all this we can conclude that it is too early for short guys to despair. Yes, it may be more difficult for them to meet the girl they like, but because of this they become more assertive and self-confident, which means they will definitely get any girl.

What to do about height differences
Many girls change their opinion about a young man after they start communicating with him. A woman will be interested in a man if he turns out to be a witty conversationalist. It is even more valuable if he is willing to become a caring partner who is truly passionate about his girlfriend and respects her opinion.
In this case, short stature will not be a problem when communicating with the opposite sex. It is better to engage in self-development, and not to develop complexes because of your appearance.
If you can't come to terms with your height, use the following tricks.
Wear shoes with low heels or platforms.
The range of such models is wide, they can be sneakers, boots, classic shoes or light summer moccasins.
To visually make your figure more elongated, use haircuts where the hair on the top of the head is longer than on the temples and back of the head. Using styling products, you can lift your bangs above your forehead, which will add extra centimeters.
Men who are accustomed to walking hunched over steal a few centimeters of height from themselves.
Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor your posture and regularly perform exercises that strengthen your back muscles.
A well-groomed man with a proudly straight back, stylish hairstyle and well-chosen shoes will appeal to any woman. The above tips will also be useful for girls who have started a relationship with a short gentleman.
Short guys shouldn't despair. It is more difficult for them to meet attractive girls, but such difficulties help build character and learn to understand women better. The main thing is not to forget about self-development. After all, a person who is interesting to himself will attract others.
