Does a woman's height affect your sense of masculinity and/or attraction to her?

[LiveYourDream]

Women can often feel a surge and boost in their sense of femininity when standing in close proximity with, and/or interacting with, a man who is noticeably taller and/or well-built. I am wondering what men experience in such interactions.

Do you as a man notice a slight boost or any change in your sense of masculinity, when standing right next to, or interacting closely with, a woman who is noticeably shorter and/or smaller than you?

If so, is that sense of masculinity amplified further if she is a particuarly feminine woman?

Does a noticeable difference between you, in height and/or size, increase your awareness of your inherent capacity to physically dominate her and/or protect her, if you wanted?

Does this affect your attraction for her?

Is there a height range you prefer for your women? If so, what drives it?

I'm 6'4". Once a woman is about a foot shorter than I am, I tend to be less interested.

What boosts my masculinity is her femininity in her voice and mannerisms and actions. A taller babe makes me feel less big, but if she's feminine it feels good to be with a big girl too. Some shorter babes have small "guy" complex, and will be down there as an aggressive male cutting at and minimizing your balls in various little games and actions.

I like short women. I dated a girl my height once with man hands....no bueno

At 5'4 I'm very short, and as much as I'd like to say height doesn't bother me, I think it has some effect at a subconscious level. More so because I know the girl is most likely judging me for being short, and not because I have any predetermined judgments about it.

So yes, depending on the day, I may find a change in my sense of masculinity. If the girl is like 6'0 I'm more likely to be intimidated because I think she's judging me for being short, thus decreasing my sense of masculinity. If they're shorter than me, though, I don't necessarily feel any stronger or more masculine.

More femininity is also attractive, in my opinion, so I guess it does increase masculinity.

I don't think about my ability to dominate her because of height, etc. I'm pretty much confident in my ability to do that. Again, my only issue is feeling inferior because I think the girl may be perceiving me as inferior. Despite that, I know I could still dominate her in bed.

Has no effect on attraction.

No preferred height range. Though, shorter girls are nice because I can pick them up and stuff. But the tallest girl I hooked up with was 5'11.

@LiveYourDream how tall are you? And what are your answers from a female's perspective?

 

[Ratiocinative]

Yeah, it does. Not saying guys shouldn't date taller women obviously, but the subconscious emotional response is there. There will aways be pros and cons to every couple and a height "mismatch" is just one of many, but it is there. Just a biological fact that the average man is going to be most attracted to women ~6-8 inches shorter than they are all else being equal, but of course all things are not equal so you shouldn't let that deter you.

@LiveYourDream how tall are you?

I am 5'1", clearly on the short end of the spectrum. I am fortunate as I've never once felt my height was an issue, for any man I have ever interacted with, even those extra tall.

Do you as a man notice a slight boost or any change in your sense of masculinity, when standing right next to, or interacting closely with, a woman who is noticeably shorter and/or smaller than you? As a woman, I definitely feel a man's sense of strength and masculinity embolden.

If so, is that sense of masculinity amplified further if she is a particuarly feminine woman? I think femininity and masculinity play off of one another in the best scenarios. If I am especially feminine, looking up a man, I feel his masculinity rise far more and respond much more quickly.

Does a noticeable difference between you, in height and/or size, increase your awareness of your inherent capacity to physically dominate her and/or protect her, if you wanted? I am absolutely aware (to some degree) of a man's individual capacity to dominate me physically (and other ways),as well protect me, if he were inclined.

Does this affect your attraction for her? If I trust him, then those capacities in a man increase my attraction in him without my even thinking about it. It's almost primal.

Is there a height range you prefer for your women? If so, what drives it? All men are taller than me. A noticeable difference gives me a rush (again--it's automatic) and boosts my sense of femininity. It's the presence a man holds and who he that drives my attraction the most.

Personally I like average to tall girls, Im 5'11 and like girls anywhere between 5'6 to my height.

Now regarding your question it actually depends on many factors not just the difference in height itself, if she is very pretty and Im not it would bother me much more than us being both hot at the same height.

What bothers me instead is the cvntish friends telling her she should find a guy taller than her or trying to sabotage us for their hamster inspired reasons, then if somehow a tall guy materialized himself around and start playing "cool" then its unleashed violence, Im talking about going ape on him to make it clear whos at the top of the food chain.

So yeah maybe there could be some problems.

For the life of me I can't find tall women attractivee, remind me of transgendered. 5'8 is the limit for me personally, to answer the question.....no they all bending over anyway

 

[Yewki]

I prefer when the girl is only like an inch or two shorter, I'm 6'0 so I like em on the tall side

But realistically height is a very small factor compared to other things like body type, posture, face, personality, etc

 

[casanova_goat]

I am 6'1" and I have a preference for short women. The chick I am seeing right now is 5'1". A woman loses some appeal to me once she rises above average. Of course there are exceptions. Perhaps I like my women short for the reasons you posit, LiveYourDream.

Very few men discriminate based on height. Discrimination based on height is mostly done by women. For most men, as long as she's cute, has a good body or is feminine, they couldn't care less if she is taller or shorter than them.

I have a partiality for short women but I don't really discriminate and, you're right, most men don't discriminate at all.

It would seem to make sense that if a woman valued a man's height for his masculinity, a man would value a woman's height for her femininity.

I'm 6'5". Once a girl gets down around the 5 foot range, unless she is wearing hooker heels, it just doesn't feel right. In fact, regarding one of the girls who I loved the most but broke up with, our main issue wasn't the fact she was 24 years my junior, but the fact she was 5 feet tall.

It would seem to make sense that if a woman valued a man's height for his masculinity, a man would value a woman's height for her femininity.

Assuming you mean her lack of height, I disagree. If women prefer taller men, that generally means taller is superior, which means men also prefer taller women who can have taller children. Remember: a woman's legs can never be too long.

Given a choice, I would take a girl who is 5'10".

Interesting question.... I think it is also a variety/personality thing.... My wife is 5'1" Asian thin fit yet cold... My mistress is 5'9" White curvy but loving. I'm 6' tall. I know for a fact that I'm attracted to my paramour because her personality is so different than the wife.

Ohh my..... 5'1" close to my favorite height!! Throw in some black hair and blue eyes.... Almost perfect.

Now we have to throw in weight, personality, and long walks on the beach!!

Boom!!

Kidding, this one was just for fun...... Or maybe not.

 

[RangerMIke]

I'm right at 6'0" in my experience I have the best success with women who are taller than average, and luckily this is my preference. I like women who are only a little shorter than I am when they are in heals. I guess 5'7" or 5'8". Buyt I have dated women as small as 5'0" but I don't keep the shorter women very long since, I suspect most men prefer shorter women and the competition for the smaller gals is just too high. not only because most dudes like small women, but just about very man is going to be over 5'0".

You want to come close to wrapping me around your finger, be a slender athletic taller than average, intelligent women with freckles and red hair.... every man has his type and this is mine, and I have to FIGHT to keep my frame around women like this.

 

[Proitalian]

I am 5'7 and personally I much prefer being with
women shorter than me for obvious reasons
But I have also been out with taller women than
myself with no effect on my masculinity,
Shorter is just a preference for me.

I feel much more masculine when I'm with a short woman as opposed to being with one who's my height or taller. I'm also much more attracted to short women. However, it's never been a deal breaker. My current GF is around the same height as me (which isn't hard because I'm not tall) and my last GF was a bit taller than me. However, their vaginas felt exactly the same to my d1ck.

Oh, vagina's are certainly different. Perhaps both of these lovely ladies molded their vagina to your copious unit. I just had some recently, low cervix but no pain when it's hit, you have to push past it into a back hallway leading to the end. It felt good to be massaged like that.
