Adult star Amira Evans, who stands at a towering 6ft7’, says she’s been single for three years – and claims intimidated men are to blame. Despite making thousands online and receiving constant attention from subscribers, the 26-year-old says finding a boyfriend in real life has been “surprisingly difficult”.
She said: “I think a lot of men are intimidated. They just assume I go for the typical tall, muscly, alpha male – and they don’t even bother asking if I’m interested.
“They’ve already decided I’m out of their league.” Amira says the confidence she sees from men online is a far cry from how they behave face-to-face.
She said: “Online, men will say everything you want to hear. But in real life, they’re shy, awkward, and scared to approach.
“They hide behind a screen. When it comes to actually talking to a tall woman in person, they panic.”
She believes many men lack real-world dating confidence – particularly when it comes to tall women. “Maybe they don’t have much experience in talking to women, especially tall women – outside of [adult content platforms] and webcam sites,” she explained.
“They’re scared of us and they think that we’re intimidating when actually, we’re just normal – the same as any other girl.” Amira (@amiraxevans) believes many men are also put off by assumptions about her preferences – particularly when it comes to physical expectations.
“Some guys assume they’re not… “equipped” enough,” she said. “They think because I’m tall, I must want a big, dominant man in every way.
“But that’s not true at all. If these guys are lacking in the downstairs department, there’s other things that they can do to please us.”
Despite stereotypes, Amira says she actually prefers shorter men – and claims they make far better partners. “Short men are more loyal, more generous, and more attentive,” she said.
“They’ve had to work harder to get attention, so they treat you better. They’re not entitled like some stereotypically attractive men.”
Contrary to what every classic romcom suggests, Amira advises women to steer clear of the “tall, dark and handsome” type. She said: “These tall, good-looking men might be nice for us to look at, but once you actually get to know them, you’ll find that on the inside, they’re ugly.
“They’re used to attention, so won’t put in any effort. If you don’t want them, they’ll just move onto the next girl”.
On the other hand, Amira says it’s short kings that stand out for their personality and effort. “Because short guys aren’t considered conventionally attractive or the ‘obvious choice’, they work a lot harder to get a girl’s attention”, Amira said.
“Often, they’ve got a really great sense of humour. And obviously women, we love humour.
“Like, if you can make us laugh, you can make us do anything.” And when it comes to treating women in ways that make them want to stick around – Amira says nobody does it better than short guys.
“They’re so generous and they have deep wallets too”, she said. “I’ve had guys pay for my nails, my hair, my beauty treatments, my meals – they treat you like a princess.”
Based on her experiences, Amira says shorter partners are also more compatible with her dominant personality. She said: “They’re more submissive, which I like.
“You can kind of mould them into the perfect partner. I like men who feel comfortable with me being strong – even picking them up, carrying them on my back like a backpack, or lifting them like weights.”
Now, after years of being single, Amira is putting out a public call for a boyfriend – with a very specific type in mind. She said: “I want someone loyal, a bit shy, and definitely shorter than me – ideally 5’10 and under.
“I don’t want a man who feels emasculated by me. I want someone who finds my height, strength and dominance attractive.”
Amira didn’t hold back when revealing her biggest turn-offs. She said: “If he doesn’t pay for the first date – even if he wants to split the bill – that’s a red flag.
“Talking badly about exes, being stingy, or clearly having a ‘type’ that’s the opposite of me – all red flags.” She added that she refuses to shrink herself for anyone.
“I won’t be told what to wear or how to look,” she said. “If I want to wear a short dress with platform boots and go out in town, I’m going to.
“If I want to have a low cut t-shirt on, I’m going to wear that. If I want to wear heels and be even taller, I will.”
Rather than feeling threatened by her, Amira says her ideal partner would actively support her physically and financially. “I want a boyfriend who encourages me to lift heavier at the gym – not someone who tells me to make myself smaller,” she said.
“Buy my protein, my sports bras, my expensive trainers, even my membership – support me to become stronger.” For any hopeful applicants, she has one simple message:
“Be yourself. Don’t try to act like some ‘alpha male’ you’ve seen online.
“Nobody wants you to speak like these ‘manosphere’ influencers and podcasters like Andrew Tate. I don’t care what you look like – I just want someone genuine, kind – preferably a little older and lighter – and confident enough to approach me.”
