writes:I was wondering what men REALLY think about women who are petite. I wanted to ask this question because I heard someone say that short women are not sexy enough like taller women, and that guys rather be with women who are taller.I am 5 feet tall and wish that I could be taller! My bf tells me that he loves me just the way I am!I have been told by others "boy you are short". I can even remember that song long ago...Short People (dont have nobody to love) I hated that song so much!!! I don't have short-looking legs...I actually well porportioned for my height! But since I heard that taller women are more sexier than us short girls. Please let me know, especially you men out there!

To rammsteinfan: I just ran across this posting that is several years old and enjoyed the responses as I'm sure that you have as well. There are many of us guys out here who enjoy and admire petite women. While, it is really the complete package that defines us all, I admit to a predilection for women of a smaller stature. I encourage you to revel in your size and to be confident that there are many men who find your size an attribute. Be confident that your size is a plus!

 You should be proud on your small stature. I personaly prefer petite women. They are incredibly cute! In fact, I get turned off by women who are tall, despite the fact that I myself am over 6'2" tall. All of my GF's were AT LEAST one head shorter than me. I just love to grab and toss small women around, gently ofcourse ;)
I think that, as mentioned in some other posts before, men have this urge to protect smaller women, at least, I have this urge. That's what makes me attracted to them.

All this crap about big curves is just an excuse for out of control fork to mouth reflexes and inactivity. God Bless your beautiful petiteness!!

My boyfriend says he loves it because he feels strong and protective over me haha! He's about 5'11 and has told me he prefers smaller girls. I think it just all depends on the guy, and of course, the personality of the girl.

In fact most of my boyfriends have been much taller than I, 2 of them being over 6ft. So, I would say celebrate you size and everything about it. Beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder. If you think and feel that you are sexy, you will be.

I am a seven feet tall male who has dated five feet tall women in high school and college. I married a 5' 11" tall woman. She wasn't sexy or more attractive because she was tall. I grew up in an alcoholic parent’s home, so we mostly connected a certain personality point. I had family (taller sisters) who did not like my petite dates. If I was more mature at the time I'd have married anyone of the petite women I dated before the taller wife. Petite women are very attractive. Steve

I'm a rather short and petite guy myself (5'6, 125 lbs.), and the women that always catch my eye the most are ones my height or shorter and petite. I often wish that I was attracted to fat women cause I seem to be a fat chick magnet and they say 2/3 of people these days are overweight :-(

And they seldom get obese. If a man is looking for a great gift..try a Petite Lady..I am a man....Bobcat

I've never liked tall guys because they make me look short. My current bf is 5"10 and I didn't like him at first cause I thought he was too tall, but now I don't even see it anymore. I wear flats all the time now. It's something that we just can't change. The grass is not always greener on the other side. My friend who is only 5'7 and she hates being tall. She wants to be short...hahaha...it's funny how we always want what we don't have.

reader, anonymous, writes (16 December 2007): rammsteinfan, I'm 6'6" tall; and I've dated girls and women both tall and short... ranging from 4'11" to 6'0". While I've never had a specific 'type' that I've preferred, or targetted throughout my life, I can say with great certainty that the most erotic experience of my life was with a petite woman.
Certainly, women of all sorts of shapes and sizes are sexy, or beautiful; and just as some women prefer muscular men, or tall men, etc... there are a great deal of men who prefer petite women, too.
Don't worry at all about it! Just be yourself; and if a guy isn't into you, just move on. Honestly, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches. Besides, petite women age better.
;)
BTW, my current girlfriend (whom I intend to marry) is barely 4'11" (the second person I've dated that short). She's all of 93 lbs... Chinese... and more woman than any 10 taller women that I've encountered in my life. Considering that I've worked 21 yrs of my life as a doorman in nightclubs, raves, underground parties, strip joints, etc... I've seen my share of women flaunting themselves.
Honestly! You've got nothing to worry about.
Hope this helps!

The simple fact is most women will only date guys who are taller than themselves. Most guys know this and only ask out women that are shorter than themselves. While there are always exceptions to the rule I think your shortness will not pose a problem in your finding a boyfriend.

...and that oh so boring joke "What is the waether like up there?". Yes, and always the teachers at school thinking because you are tall, that you are superhuman as well, given all sorts of physical jobs. Then there is always having to be the 'boy'for country dancing at school. Then there is having to make your own clothes with 4 extra inches on the arms because, in those days, nothing was long enough. Once I had a nurses uniform with an extra bit sewn around the bottom. Then there is everyone moaning behind you because they cannot see. Oh and breaking your neck at the hairdressers because your neck won't go back in the right way the fit the sink. Then there is trying to fit your knees under standard desks or even some steering wheels. Now i have fallen for a guy who likes petite women. Oh and it is SO offputting when a guy reaches up to kiss your lips!!!!

That is so funny... I am 5'9", and have always envied my adorable, petit girlfriends. Men want to protect you, cuddle you and put you on a pedestal! Men are more likely to approach you, and are usually more gentlemanly around you. Taller women are often perceived as threatening. Men do not universally prefer petit or tall women... it's simply a matter of taste (just like preferring blonde or brunette women).
Sadly, the opposite is not true for men. I have several male friends who are educated, intelligent, handsome and successful, but because they are short, they are often overlooked by women. In general, most women prefer tall guys (which I think is terribly unfair).
People are people. Just be yourself, be friendly, smile alot, and know that you are special in your own way!

Who said this, a tall women or a guy that prefers tall women? :)
Different guys like different sizes, same as you are attracted to certain types of men.
My girlfriend is the shortest I have been with and I find her the most sexy amazing yummie girl I have ever known. I love petiteness but also she is comfortable and loves her size and her confidence makes her 1000% more attractive and sexy.
You know there is a culture of short asian girls who actually go through painful surgery to stretch their bones so that they are taller? Very dangerous really as they develop terminal medical problems when they age but, HOW SAD that people will resort to such measures to change, don't you think?
Tons of guys adore short girls. A lot of guys have a mentality that they like to "look after" girls and I am very surprised you haven't had more random comments from guys when you're out commenting on how much they love your height.
Stop worrying about this, love your size, love your body, love your boyfriend for loving you and concentrate on something more important in life. World peace??? :)

 Look, it's all in the taste of individual man, there's no universal man code for sexyness, even though sometimes you begin to wonder.
I know a lot of girls who are still in the 4 foot range, and they all have boyfriends that love them all the same as if they were tall. And then there are some guys who like that you're shorter than them, I dunno, it's just an insecurity I've seen in a lot of guys if their gf is too tall. See, me, I'm a friggin' TALL girl.... without shoes, I'm 5'10". I wear heels and boots a lot, therefore, I'm usually measured about 5'11" or 6'. My bf is a good 5'8" or 5'9". How do you think I feel about being so tall? It's not like it's going to change, so you've just got to accept it.
And, let me pose a serious question, are you looking for another guy? Because if not, this really shouldn't matter, your boyfriend loves you the way you are and that should be good enough. The guys who are only interested in tall, slim, and tan girls are probably not worth much anyway. So, no worries, right? Be happy, I'm sure you're perfect for your guy. ^_^

 First of all, you're short. Unless you're young and still growing, that won't change. You're concerning yourself about this situation whilst your boyfriend is telling you he thinks you're great. My wife is tall. She hated it as a child. She's 5 ft. 10 inches. There are some things we can't change. We must recognize what they are.
You're asking strangers if we find short women attractive. You've already got a guy who says yes. You're already lucky. Sexy is soooo much more that just the body. Many men love an enthusiastic partner. I'd rather be with a woman of average looks who is enthusiastic in the bedroom than a frigid super model any day.
