You're thinking like a man, starting with the tail end of your question. You say 'a woman doesn't have to be very hot to make me orgasm '
Men have lower physical standards in a hook up, than in a relationship. We evolved to think that way. Every shot at sex with random women is an opportunity to maybe produce more kids. It's basically 'always' a good thing. Now we could probably only devote ourselves and -resources- to raising kids with one female (at least at a time). So while we might want to bang every fertile woman in sight, we're only going to devote resources to one who is physically superior (i. e. hotter), loyal to us (i. e. its our kids getting the benefits) and hopefully sweet (good mother).
Women's instincts are different. Studies have shown that women have higher, not lower, physical requirements for a hookup. Basically, every time a woman had sex for most of evolution, she was considering investing years in raising that guy's child. For that to be worth it, he either needed to be above average (hopefully) in terms of genetics AND devoted to her so that he'd provide and help her raise the kid, OR, amazing genetics so that its worth going solo.
On top of that, women tend to go for even more 'masculine' males in short term, and women who tend towards hookups are more likely to go for very high masculine oriented men. This seems pretty reasonable to me, my guess is that if women were in an environment where for whatever reason men weren't sticking around to raise kids (war, etc), there's no point mating with men who are balanced strong/good father, you might as well get the strongest and most aggressive guy's genes.
This probably answers your question.2 1 0 0MH right there.
Ok, by the way my genes were tall. But I stunted my height. So women should as well hook up with me right?
Well I avoided specifics. Instincts aren't that clever. They can't tell you stunted your growth. A woman who likes tall men is likely not going to say 'oh he's a tall guy who stunted his growth'. But you know, a lot of women don't really care much about height. There are a whole TON of markers of male power/status, and no man has all of them, and all would likely be overkill. Different women value different markers. Being smart, funny, cool, athletic, popular, tall, muscular, fast, good singing voice, well dressed (by her standards), socially responsible, a leader, strong convictions, resolute, courageous, all of these are 'plus' factors. Have as many plus factors as you can, and women who value the ones you have will be all over you. I'm a shit dancer, overly uptight about some stuff, and don't put on muscle well. Women who like those things? I have no chance with them. Just like a short guy has little chance with women who prioritize 'tall'. But that's okay.
I'm a short man and the reason I don't get laid is because I don't go around looking for it and to be honest I am rather a cold, unfriendly and unapproachable guy on first impressions not many girls will want to interact with someone who looks like he'd rather not be disturbed and left alone.
That said a lot of short men do get laid, Red_Dragon is short, he's shorter than me and doesn't seem to have any problems.0 0 0 0

I believe there are women associate a man being tall with a large penis. In my experience... the short guys I have been with are way more endowed then the tall men I have been with. Now... I dont think that height dictates penis size. But I do think a lot of women think that.
0 2 0 0So u prefer big?
Right. I'm short and big AF.
Never said that. Actually I rather have an average size. Big ones hurt... I was with a former bf and he was very well endowed. The next day I felt like I was bruised on the inside.
I got a guy friend who's short like 5'3 and he has a lot of hookups, friends with benefits, fuck buddies. I've known fat chicks who are the same.
These are seen as "undesirable" yet they still manage to thrive in this hookup culture.0 0 0 1some girls dont like when guys are short, because for some reason, we have this weird obsession with tall guys and i think its because a lot of girls believe that short guys aren't usually that big. girls are weird.

9 6I'm 5'10 and I've slept with men who are 5'5. ;b
0 1 0 0who? haha how did it happen?
Just guys I meet in bars/clubs! It's not a deal breaker for me, I don't give a shit, but obviously that means they can't be insecure about the girl being taller.
lucky guys lol
short guys can get laid too. you just have other things to make up for your lack of height
1 2 0 1Not true. I don't have to make up for my height.
you probably have some qualities that do: like maybe you are good looking, cool personality, know a lot of ppl, friendly, sexy, dress nice, in shape, etc
I still don't feel I have to "make up for my height". That's assuming every girl likes tall guys, and they don't.
Because y'all are inferior, ew.
2 2 2 6Whenever I see a dumb question that generalizes all women, you are here to troll that question
@Modernhippy She's a troll in most question, I don't even know if that picture is even real
Nah she's actually a pretty cool person, there are just a lot of dumb whiny questions here
It may be a subconscious reproduction need that women seem to have implanted in their brains. I'm not biologist, but it's definitely something of interest. It could be that women who are tall naturally want a guy who is shorter because she feels that will make her children around average height or at least shorter than her. Maybe that could be a problem if she has a boy, but if she has a girl at least she will not be as tall as her mother or at the very least as tall as her mother. Though the chances of that happening is less than if a tall guy was the father.
The same I believe could be said for short girls. Short girls may subconsciously feel that a short guy would make their kids shorter as well. This is why they may prefer tall guys because they want their kids around average height.
Some minor reasons that mask the big reason are things like "I can't wear heels." "He won't protect me as well." "I feel he's unmasculine." All these are logical, but I think subconsciously they want a balance height for their kids.
All that said bro I'm short and plenty of girls are okay with just hooking up. Most of the girls are taller than me too. It seems it's only the really short girls who want really tall guys. Even then plenty of them have been interested too.0 0 0 1by the way you always posting questions about your "stunt" height on here. You're short. End of story.
Dude, you fucking asshole, why are you trolling my question?
I'm not. I gave you a really legit answer bro. All you read was my last comment huh? Read the rest. I just told you "why don't women sleep with short men". I answered your question. That's not trolling. Trolling is what Lumos did.
Short guys get laid. there's another reason you're not.
0 1 0 0Did I mention anything above about me not getting laid?
Okay buddy.
Everybody is the same height in bed ;)
0 1 0 0Right right.
@lumos already said it, no need to explain.
0 0 0 1I think it's because when a man is shorter then a woman, she feels like the one that is more in control of the relationship and like they are the stronger ones and with that I think that with most girls it doesn't feel right since the one that should be able to control the relationship and protecting anyone should be the guy.
1 0 0 1I'm in control even if I'm shorter.
Not entirely true I've been dominated by a short guy, and no one's given it to me better lol.
im not interlay sure since i haven't really been with a shorter guy but it's just my opinion :)
Taller guys are much hotter, sleeping with shorter guys makes you look desperate..
0 0 0 1shorter guys but more handsome
It's like an overweight girl with a pretty face, sorry, but no.
how short is short for you? because they are different stages of overweight too.
Looooooool
0 0 0 0I've slept with short men they're adorable and really good in bed!
0 2 0 0This makes me happy. :)
Well I'm glad it does.!
Human attraction is driven by evolutionary factors. Women are naturally attracted to bigger, stronger men because throughout history those men were more likely to be successful and make good providers and protectors. So for women, tall = sexually attractive.
1 1 0 1Taller doesn't equate to bigger and stronger. If I am 5'6' but built, girl is 5'7" skinny, I am bigger anway.
Not true for me. I must be a rare breed.
lol manlets, when will they learn?
0 1 0 1They do. Your issue has never been your height.
1 0 0 0My height is definitely the issue.
People who are just looking to hook up tend to still have the same preferences as if they were looking to partner long-term. They tend to be more choosy rather than less though.
