> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > Yes, I’d be attracted to him. I like a nice, big, muscular body- ala Patrick Warburton or Mike Holmes. However, I have learned from experience that someone much taller than me just isn’t a good fit in bed, angle-wise. Also, while no woman wants a pin-dick, a huge one is just as bad. That shit hurts, and pain is not pleasurable (usually). So, to sum up- yes, I’d lust, but it would be from afar. What does being muscular or taller have to do with their penis? I don’t understand the question - to the point of why someone 7’2" is a “giant?” Wouldn’t it have been wise to just say ‘Ladies, do you like really tall men?’ And if so, what body type do you prefer? ---

I feel teensy and insignificant next to really tall people - the tallest guy I ever dated was (as he put it) 5’15", and I’m about 10" shorter. He was blond, blue-eyed, fun to be with, a good dancer, and just plain not my type. Gimme a 5’10" good hugger any day. 😃 So, no, I wouldn’t be attracted to anyone really tall. ---

Of course. But the Atlantic’s inclined to be a nuisance. ---

I think what attracts me is always personality, sense of humor, confidence. If a guy has all that and is handsome and is displaying interest in me I’m not gonna be put off by some extra inches. It’s not like all that in one package is so easy to find! I’m a shorty (5’2"), so it’ll be humorous, but I like humorous.
