Here are some reasons why women like shorter guys :

It is easier to intimidate them
Women like to play mind games. When a guy is short by height, he is easier to intimidate. Whether we like it or not, a towering height does give you a lots of benefits. And a woman knows that she can use her height to her advantage by towering over her man.

Shorter guys are smarter
Men are actually much vainer than women. Once they have god gifted height or good looks, they just stop working on other areas of their personality. But guys who are short know that they have to be smart in order to survive. Many women feel that shorter guys are smarter in general.

Count Your Blessings
Usually, when a tall woman is dating a short man, she has to stop wearing high heels. But high heels are uncomfortable and expensive anyways. Besides, this point can be used as a ‘sacrifice' in later fights when you are falling short of arguments.

The Freak Theory
A woman who is taller than usual has very few options. Short women can date tall as well as short guys. But a very tall woman is treated like something of a freak. This endears tall women towards men who are shorter than usual because they undergo the same unfair treatment.

Best Arm Rest Ever
If you are dating a really tall guy, your neck will be strained looking up at him all the time. But when you date a short guy, he can be the best arm rest for you when you walktogether.

These are some reasons why tall women love short men. What do you prefer; tall guys or short ones?
