It's almost beyond dispute that the taller a guy is, the harder it is to get the appearnce of muscularity. It's even been said that "bodybuilding is a short man's game" (go ahead, google it) I'm 6'3" and despite years of lifting, I can confirm. (Special note: I didn't start putting on serious muscle until I started using anabolic steroids conservatively as the result of low T, and lots of research and due diligence. Had I stayed natty, I'd still be on the very thin side)

What do women want? They want a combination of tall and muscular. Picture a Venn Diagram:

Circle A: "taller than me"

Circle B: "as muscular as possible"

The intersection of these two circles is what women usually want in terms of physical appearance.

What this also means is that the shorter a woman is, that intersection of the two circles gets bigger. If a girl is 5'6" (the Western average) she doesn't care so much if her man is 5'8" or 6'4", because they're both taller than her. At that point what she does care more about is muscularity... and the odds are that the 5'8" guys will be more muscular than the 6'4" guys .

For years I was oblivious to this. I liked girls of all heights (thinking they were all the same) but it eventually dawned on me that I was always doing better with the taller girls. Why? Because the shorter girls have a larger pool of muscular guys to choose from I even mentioned this to a tall girl and she told me "of course... shorter girls don't value your height as much as we taller girls do". (grammar edit)

So that's where I am now.... I focus mainly on going after tall girls (edit: instead of shorter girls), because I now know WHY my chances are better with them.

Any other tall guys here also see it this way, or have gone through similar experiences?
