Liberator Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 My girlfriend has indicated the same - Though it's not 100% true, it seems on average that women prefer men who are a moderately (4-6") taller than them. From a man's perspective I can't say much beyond the fact that a 6" height difference feels a lot more natural/comfortable than 15"(I'm 6'6", so I can't comment on the opposite side). Not uncoincidentally, 5 inches is a pretty average height difference between men and women. Natural selection says that there's probably a reason for this - on average, it's probably true that on average, humans find a moderate(but not excessive) height difference with the male being slightly taller, to be the most attractive pairing for a partnership. Sure, there are exceptions - but when looking at humans as a species this is generally how things end up playing out. Maybe, but I dated a tall guy once and it was so annoying and uncomfortable to kiss, I had to find things to stand on to reach comfortably… awkward! I hate the feeling of someone towering over me. My husband is 5" taller and if I am wearing heels it is much more comfortable. I know you guys love that hole-y shirt, but I love my husband in a tux! He looks awesome and because he is a musician he has several and wears them often! Quote Link to comment
Thrillho Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 My parents had a 14" height difference, and my sister married a guy who is an inch shorter than she is (though she's 6 foot, and he looks like if Stone Cold Steve Austin became a logger). Elevations are wierd! 1 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
Why not? Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I do this too. I sit about the house butt naked. Thankfully most people have to drive to our house so I have advance warning of when some one is coming to visit, but occasionally I get caught out...

Leather is too Village People… not that there is anything wrong with that…. I have seen a few men wear a kilt in a exceptional way! Camo, no way!… seems like a lazy way to dress.I like a man who puts in some effort to dress well, but no too much effort.It is not always what someone wears but HOW one wears it! 1 Quote Link to comment

IrishMartian Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not to spoil the fun but isn't this kinda wildly subjective for a topic? I mean my wife hates, HATES, 'good looking' men. Her type seems to be big, ugly, stubbly men with a sense of humour (lucky for me), which comes from growing up with a rugby playing older brother and father and spending many a weekend watching people getting their faces crushed.
