Although such info already exists online, i wanted to make a guide/list of my own. something that can be easily understood and referenced at any point in time. without excessive yapping and scientific jargon.

How women perceive tall men?:


- initial attraction is automatic and strong, tall guys get instant physical appeal, women feel it before they even talk to him.

- makes her feel feminine and small, most women like feeling petite next to a guy even tall women, its a visceral thing, not a logical choice.

- status and bragging rights, being with a tall guy is something to show off to other women, its social currency.

- assumes he's more dominant and masculine, height reads as strength and authority, women associate it with leadership and capability.

- immediate advantage over shorter guys. tall guy and average guy with same face, personality, money? the tall guy wins almost every time.

- protection and security feelings, even if she doesnt need protecting, the lizard brain likes the idea of a big guy who could defend her.

- better genetics assumptions, women think tall guys will give her tall sons and tall sons have advantages, its mate selection biology.

- physical presence is commanding, he stands out in rooms, gets noticed, takes up space, women are drawn to that energy.

- assumes he's had success with women, tall guys seem like they get attention so he must be experienced or have options.

- sex appeal and physical logistics. some positions are easier, some are harder, but the fantasy of a big tall guy is strong for most women.

- height becomes a personality trait, women will describe a guy as tall before other traits, its that significant in how they perceive him.

- overlook red flags easier, tall guys get more chances and forgiveness for bad behavior, women rationalize staying because hes tall and thats hard to find.

- comparison tool against other women's men, if her friends' guys are shorter, she feels like she won something.

- intimidation factor exists, really tall guys like 6'6"+ can feel too big too much like a dad or brother rather than sexual, but this is rare.

- expectations of confidence, if a really tall guy is insecure or shy, it seems wrong to women like hes wasting his advantage.

- short guys need exceptional other qualities, money, status, face, charisma to compete, tall guy just needs to be normal.

- women lie about it not mattering, they'll say personality is most important then only date tall guys, the revealed preference is clear.


Now, lets introduce some negative variables...

- what if the tall guy is bland looking?

still gets initial interest from height alone. from far away tall guy looks promising then u get closer and realize theres nothing special facially, its a letdown. bbut some women will date him anyway, bland face tall guy gets way more chances than bland face average guy. he can still seem attractive in context, standing next to her in photos, at events, his height makes him look better than he is, the social currency is still there.

- what if the tall guy is out of shape?

- out of shape tall guy still has advantage over in-shape short guy. women expect tall guys to be proportional, so a gut or no muscle definition feels like wasted potential, like he got the genetic lottery and isnt using it. but women will try to fix him, instead of going for a short fit guy. they'll suggest gym stuff n meal prep because they want the tall guy but in better shape. but if hes actually obese, it kills the protection and strength assumptions women had.

- what if the tall guy has a smaller dick?

- women expect big dicks from tall guys, its almost assumed, finding out he's average or below creates disappointment. the letdown is worse than a short guy with small dick, cuz the tall guy had all this buildup and expectation, with the short guy, she already adjusted expectations down. women will tell their friends, the "hes so tall but..." conversation happens and it becomes his defining thing in her mind. some women will stay anyway bcuz height and if everything else is good. if hes tall enough, the dick size becomes something she accepts but wishes was different. as always, performance and confidence about it matters, if hes insecure about his size it'll make it worse.

- what if the tall guy is bland loooking, out of shape, AND has a small dick?

all that together tanks his advantage hard, now hes just a tall guy who doesnt take care of himself and cant deliver, height alone wont save that. women will compare him to the fantasy of what a tall guy should be, other guys become more appealing. some might still probably pick him over shorter guys tho, height advantage is that strong that even with these downsides hes still ahead in her mind.

real talk is that the tall guy has so much buffer that he can have some negatives and still come out ahead

Like I’d say im arguably mmtn, I only have a slightly big nose which ruins my side more than my front so eventually I’ll get think. Only thing I can think of is physique since im a bit underweight but even still idk

Because it signals subconsciously that you have better genetic quality. Summarized it for you. DNR

How would you describe a better format?
I think you could make it more appealing. Like to me it just seems like a big text wall which isnt inviting especially when the topic is so water and uninteresting. you could add bold letters for certain phrases for the appeal, Some of the points also could be conjoined and summed up together.

Example being these 3 points are practically the same in essence "physical presence is commanding, h" "assumes he's more dominant and masculine," and "protection and security feelings"
