Extra tall men, what is it about them?

Posted by Sweet Wine on October 5, 2007 at 11:33pm in Plus Size Lifestyle

I love extra tall men, guys who are 6ft tall and above. I like looking up into a man's eyes. I just feel safe and secure. A BBW and a tall man, that is a great combo. Does anyone else share my preference for tall men, and if you do why?

I haven't dated a lot of tall men since we divorced, but I am most attracted to tall men. I think it has alot to do with feeling safe for me. I don't know they are just plain and simply sexy to me.; ▶ Reply to This

Most of it was about why tall men (like yourself) seem to usually go for short women, I wish you would find that discussion and comment on it, id love to hear why you as a tall man usually prefer short females.

As far as the tall man preference for me personally, like i said in my discussion, i think it has something to do with my insecurities. Being with a tall man makes me feel more feminine since i am a tall female(5'11), and with shorter men I just dont feel as feminine or as attractive, it brings out my insecurities about my height and my weight.

It makes me realize that, I dont think Im attracted to tall men necessarily because they are bigger, I dont think it really has anything to do with them at all,It is more because of the way it makes ME feel. what I mean by that is, if say i were 5'2 , I dont think I would be more attracted to a 6'4 man than say a 5'7 man because at 5'2 they would both be taller than myself and I would feel smaller and more feminine around either height, but at 5'11 I need a pretty damn tall man to make me feel short, not even 6'2 is tall enough for that lol.

You said it!!!
I have a fetish for the tall men, especially those that are like 6'5" and up and for the exact same reasons as you. But lately I have truly learned not to leave the shorties out. I have fallen for a 5'10" man who is sexy as can be but I have to give you some love on the tall men...; ▶ Reply to This

I'm 6'5" and 350 lbs: you'd think I had leprosy or something when I'm in public! "How's the air up there?" "Boy, you fill a whole doorway, don't you?" " Where do you find clothes to fit you?" how about someone who is just real about big men, and just not the fantasy of a big man?; ▶ Reply to This

Although I have made the experience that men shorter than myself can be rather, well, interesting in certain aspects. Or is that just me? I suppose it all goes down to that women just like the feeling of 'being protected' which only men taller than them can give.; ▶ Reply to This
