Okay, this is something I'm curious about.
You know the stereotype of "tall, dark, and handsome?" Well do most girls really go for guys who are taller?
Please don't be offended anyone, because I'm pretty sure none of us girls here would choose a guy on height alone!!! But I'm curious to know if most girls *do* find height attractive in a guy.
I, personally, don't. I tend to think guys about my height or a bit taller are cooler than guys who really tower over me.
(Again, I'm sure we girls wouldn't pick someone just for height, so please don't take offense, guys. One of my brothers is very tall and I love him anyway!!)
*waits for the opinions*
Girl: Tall guys = teh cutest??

I think guys around my height are "cuter," and guys who are really tall are "hotter" (in general, although sometimes this isn't true, I find that a large amount of the time it is.) And both are good in my book. So I don't discriminate toward ANY height, ha ha. I don't really like the shorter than me thing, though, but if worst comes to worst I accept it and move forward. And since I'm 5'8" I'm not usually taller than many guys my age, so it's all good.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I've never felt attracted to any guys shorter than me. Although, I did fall for the tall, dark and handsome type....oddly enough, my boyfriend is blonde, blue-eyed, and not a WHOLE lot taller than me. Just that perfect height. XD

Hmm.. Alice, how tall are you, and how tall would a guy have to be to be cosidered "towering" over you?

Well, at 5'2" most guys are taller than me, so yes, I'm attracted to taller guys. I would have to say that, maybe because of my lack of height, I'm especially attracted to guys that are like 6 foot or more.

Tall guys are cool. Average guys are cool. Short guys are cool too. I'm pretty much okay with whatever, but actually going out with a guy shorter than me would be weird.

Here's a tall girl's answer...
I'm 5'11", so I'd feel more comfortable if the guy was taller than me...
Could be 1" or more, but shrugs, God knows best...

Yeah, get out guys! (even if that's just an excues for alice to avoid a confession)
I think shorter guys are cute, extremely taller guys are like teddy bears and normal height guys are Really nice too. I just like guys, ya know? It mostly depends on the temperment of the guy. Is he stuck up? That kinda thing.

Same here. Though size doesn't really play at all in how I view a guy (even unconsciously). Not to pretend I don't have shallow preferences in guys (love t3h Asians...). But I did almost go out with a guy exactly a foot taller than me once...

I think because all woman do have a desire to feel protected by their significant other, that's a big part of why they want the man to be taller than them. It's nothing personal. XD
Yeah, with that said, I'd like guys who are taller than me.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Huh. You know, I had always thought I found shorter guys more attractive, but when I REALLY sit down and think about it, all of the guys I've dated have been taller than me and I think there's a certain comfort of being with someone who's taller than you. Besides, having a shoulder for a headrest is really nice n_n Of course...I'm 5'5", so it's not really uncommon to find men that are taller than I am.
So...yeah. I guess I am attracted to guys that are taller.
Sneaky Alices...running away from the questions, she is....we thinks that she's tall,yes, precioussss~
