Not simply weight-wize, but large-statured women? Who likes to scale giant gals? What? ---

There are entire internet sites devoted to guys who are obsessed with large women, in sizes ranging from tall to the extremely rare very large to nonexistent giantesses. It’s all part of that rule that says that somebody, somewhere will find just about anything titillating. ---

Height does not eliminate anyone from my list of potential hotties. That means that I would find a very tiny woman attractive or a very tall woman attractive. If a very tall woman has something about her, I find her very attractive, especially if she carries the height with the right level of confidence and uses it to be attractive. Same goes for very petite women… or very flat chested women. I am 5’ 10" tall. Shortest/tiniest girfried (as an adult): 4’ 8" and 80 lbs. Tallest girlfriend was 6’ 3" and slender. I can think of some incredibly sexy and very tall women. Allyssa DeHaan (6’9"), Alexis Skye (6’ 5"), Maria Stepanova (6’9"). My heart would skip a beat near them. They wear their height well. I can think of some awkward, apologetic, woe-is-me tall woman who are 6’ 1" and act like giants who are just stuck being freaks. Not attractive at all. Ditto for the petite ladies. Just be petite. Play that card. Wear it well. Maybe it’s because a dear girl/friend growing up that I am still buddies with is 6’ 6" tall and loves every minute of it. Maybe I learned something from her. Maybe she learned something from me. . . ---

I don’t have any particular sexual attraction to them, but I always take special notice of any woman that is taller than me. I’m 6’3", and it just doesn’t happen often. ---

Interesting. Upon reading the title of the OP I did a Google image search for ‘‘tall women’’ which turned up a page of mostly clothed women. A Google image search for ‘‘thick women’’ turns up a page of mostly nude women. ---

My wife’s 6’2" and on the large side, but that’s not at all why I married her- it was neither a plus nor a minus. I guess the best thing I can say is that there are plenty of tall and/or large women I find attractive, but there are plenty of small and/or petite ones I find attractive as well. Physical size isn’t that much of an issue for me, like it seems to be for a lot of women and some men. ---

A Google image search for ‘‘thick women’’ turns up a page of mostly nude women. Makes sense to me. Tall women I can take or leave, case by case. _ **Thick** _ women get the hormones flowin’ 😃 ---

I like tall women just fine. I prefer women who are about my height (5’11" and shrinking), and with some meat on their bones. I really find scrawny actresses and models to be unattractive creatures. ---

I was 5 7 when I was young. I lived with a girl for 3 1/2 years who was 6 ft tall. I just never gave a bit of attention to height. ---

Do you feel “weird” when that happens? My best friend is 6’4, and he says it just feels odd whenever there is someone taller than him in the same area. ---

> [@Anticounterrevolutionary](#): > > And Zappa. From ‘Sex’ on _The Man from Utopia_. It predates Spinal Tap, I think. They came out at pretty much the same time. I doubt Spinal Tap or Zappa came up with it. There’s probably an equivalent in Latin or something. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-likes-big-women/579168.md?page=2)
