Are women attracted to those doofy looking tall guys?

Edit Post

I think the taller you are, the more you can afford to be lacking in other physical aspects. I've known a few traditionally handsome short guys in my high school and college years who were mostly disregarded as serious boyfriend material because of their lack of height. I've also seen a bunch of aesthetically unfortunate men who never seemed to have a shortage of women willing to date them, and I can only assume it was because they were quite tall as their faces were very odd looking. 

Another example that seems to support this is that my mom is very outspoken and will often make remarks if she sees someone in the vicinity that has physical flaws. A number of times she has seen an attractive woman with a guy that has an ugly face, looks like a total geek, or is quite fat, and commented that she can't believe the woman is dating someone who looks like that. I noticed each time that the guy was always very tall.

Now a lot of these women would probably much rather date a guy of average height who is good looking than an ugly guy who is tall. But I do think that if you're tall, you can find a lot of women who will be willing to look past things like facial ugliness, obesity, etc, and go out with you so they can show other women they're dating a tall guy, whereas the shorter you are the more unforgiving women will be about other flaws.

exactly, most womens doesnt care to much in facial aesthetics or body shape if the guy is tall.  The opposite for short guys, they doesnt care if you have a handsome face or have a ripped body you are directly excluded if you lack of height.

Op, are you talking about this kind of man ?



The guy is 6'4", and the girl, i don't remember, probably 5'6"
He is not bad looking, but his face correspond to what you're describing.

I remember when i was in high school, in "terminal" which is the last year of high school in France, when students are 17-18 years old, there was this guy, who was 191-192 cm, he had a wierd face, but many girls, and not the least attractive, were  mad at him.

ps:the girl who runs the youtube channel is a certifed ATTENTION WHORE.

All due respect KirP1, I think that's height neurosis, not logic talking. Most girls would not overlook every 5 7" guy just because they are 5 7", and disregard every other physical feature.

Yes height it's important to women, but mostly in that the guy has to be taller than them, not that he has to be tall. There was a poll that stated 96% of women would not date a guy SHORTER than them. This means that even a guy who is 5 4" could date plenty of sub 5 4" women, who might like his hair, eyes, shoulders, personality, intellect...
