I asked 30 girls on Snapchat and Instagram (ages 16–24). I showed them two hypothetical options, not photos. Option A was a guy who’s 6'2 with an average face. Option B was a guy who’s 5'8 but very attractive facially. I asked which one they would choose if everything else was equal and why.
38 out of 50 chose the better face (about 60%). Most of these girls said things like “I have to like looking at him,” “face matters more up close,” or “I’d get bored if I’m not attracted to his face.” A lot of them mentioned long-term relationships and said height stops mattering once you’re actually dating someone.
8 out of 50 chose height (around 33%). These girls mostly said height made them feel smaller or more feminine, or that tall guys just feel more attractive to them naturally. A few admitted they’d probably notice the tall guy first in public.
4 out of 30 said neither mattered much and that personality mattered more. Both said height was a bonus but not a deal breaker.
What I noticed was that height helps with first impressions and initial attention, but face seems to matter more once attraction becomes personal. Girls who said they cared about relationships almost always chose face. Height preference showed up more in girls who talked about status or social appeal.
Conclusion: height gets you noticed, face gets you chosen. Being tall with a mid face helps short-term, but a good face beats height when it comes to real attraction.
PS: this was preference-based, not photos.
