Pizzaman81 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) When looking for a suitable mate/partner/whatever, do you guys have a minimum height requirement for the ladies? For me, the ideal person should be anywhere between 3" - 6" shorter than me. Although the good thing is women can wear heels... but if they are like 1' shorter than that's weird to me... no matter how much I am into her. Just not sure if guys care that much about height. Yesterday I went to lunch with an Asian girl who is 5'10"... now that's HOT! Luckily she didn't wear heels or else I'd be a doomed man Edited December 28, 2011 by Pizzaman81
Philosoraptor Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 If I am attracted to them emotionally then it doesn't matter their height. I could easily date someone taller than me and it wouldn't be an issue.
TheSingleGuy Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Taller women are generally sexy. They can have a few pounds of body fat and it stretched over so much more body height, it doesn't matter much. Shorter women, like 5'-0", if they have ten pounds of body fat, they look squatty. I love women of 5'-4" or 5'-3". That is perfect for me. When I'm in bed with a woman, a small girl of 4'-11" to 5'-2" is perfect. But for a potential girlfriend, 5-3 to 5-4 is where it's at. I'm 5'-11", for what it's worth. I will sleep with taller women and date them, but they'd probably never be a serious girlfriend candidate. It may seem shallow, but women are attracted to taller men. All is fair in love and war.
ThaWholigan Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I've met some really hot women who were tall, like 6 footers. I'm fairly lucky in that I am 6 foot 3, so I am taller than the vast majority of women I meet. Would I date someone taller than me? Yes, I certainly would.
Oxy Moronovich Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 My minimum height is 4'11". Yesterday I went to lunch with an Asian girl who is 5'10"... now that's HOT! Luckily she didn't wear heels or else I'd be a doomed man A 5'10" Asian woman? That's impossible. She must have been genetically altered or something.
EasyHeart Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I don't care how tall or short a woman is, but I've learned from experience that many taller women are obsessed with a man's height, so I tend not to waste a lot of time with them.
Author Pizzaman81 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 My minimum height is 4'11". A 5'10" Asian woman? That's impossible. She must have been genetically altered or something. Hahaha no it's possible man, just rare. I actually wouldn't mind women that are near my height. Ya taller girls are hot Shortest gf i've had was 5'5" tallest 5'9". So tall asian girls do exist! Superficial statement: nothing like seeing a couple who are both very tall together.
dasein Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 No height req here, and don't mind them to be taller than me.

What Asian country are these women from? The majority of Asian women I've dealt with seem mainly to come from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Perhaps the women you saw were from China.
Feelsgoodman Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I haven't met many girls who were taller than me (I'm 6'2...), so that's not an issue. However, I wouldn't date a girl who was too short. Ideally, she needs to be 5'6 +. I'd be willing to go as low as 5'4 in some cases, but that's it. Any woman shorter than that would feel like a midget to me.
Andy_K Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 At 5'11" my preferred height range is 5'2" to 5'7". I'll be more flexible for exceptionally hot girls though.
Jane2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I love women of 5'-4" or 5'-3". That is perfect for me. When I'm in bed with a woman, a small girl of 4'-11" to 5'-2" is perfect.

I'm 5' and was seeing a guy who's 5'11" and we had the best body-fit during sex. We both were always saying that -- that we fit so well together. It felt great. The body-fit felt better than with some guys I've been with who were much more height-appropriate for me, like 5'6" to 5'8". In the real world, obviously a 5' woman and a 5'11" man is a big height difference. I always wore heels when around him. Still, it's odd that the bedroom thing works so well.

Still, it's odd that the bedroom thing works so well. Probably because his height was in his legs while yours was in your torso. When you sat together, were you pretty much at eye level?
AD1980 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I prefer women a few inches shorter but as a 5'7 1/2 maybe 5'8 guy i really cant be too picky since the amount of women attracted to me at my height is very slim Ironically the few women atracted to me have been near my height maybe a little taller,its usually shorter women who think im not tall enough
Oxy Moronovich Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I had a feeling that was it. For some reason, Chinese women have different genes that make their bodies different than other Asian women.
Jane2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Probably because his height was in his legs while yours was in your torso. When you sat together, were you pretty much at eye level? I'd never thought about why, but that may be it. I do have kind of a longer torso in relation to my legs (not to the point that I look freakish, of course, just kind of subtly so). And him/legs...yeah, I guess so. And we did seem pretty eye- level when sitting. Hand-holding when walking or standing was an issue, but sitting down...and sex...was great. Wish I were still dating this guy. He was hot.
aisle_seat Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 For the initial physical attraction, height carries some weight (ha ha) but in the long run I don't know how much difference it makes, unless it's in the extreme either way since there needs to be much more to keep people together. My girl is 5'4" and I think she's perfect for me (I'm a little over 6'). It's funny - she always tells me she loves that I'm tall, though I've never thought of myself as being so and didn't think much of it. Then I saw her ex once and he was about 5'8" - maybe. From then on I was happy to be "tall".
xpaperxcutx Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I think the weirdest couple i have seen- Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. They are not porportionate, in fact, his stature made her looked like Snooki. I am 5'3 myself so have no trouble finding men who are taller than me, unless I wear heels.

I love being tall it's a drug to women they worship height well the majority anyway The way they talked about short men even ex's made me feel thankful im tall because they feel nothing for short men
Feelsgoodman Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I had a feeling that was it. For some reason, Chinese women have different genes that make their bodies different than other Asian women. It depends on which part of China you are talking about (China is a pretty populous country after all). People from the northern part of China tend to be quite tall...almost as tall as Europeans in some cases. Those from southern China and Hong Kong, on the other hand, tend to be on the shorter side. In that respect, Asia is just like Europe, where northerners (i.e. Germans, Scandinavians, Dutch) are, on average, much taller than southerners (Italians, Greeks, Spaniards, etc.)
goldengirl11 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) It's funny that I came across this thread - brought back some memories for me of an ex boyfriend, who at the time was head over heels for (excuse the pun!). He was 43 and I was 30 when he left me for a skinny, tall filipino, whom he got chatting to with on-line whilst we were still seeing each other. I remember when I'd asked why he didn't want to pursue the relationship, when he'd blurted out that I wasn't beautiful and tall enough for him (he's 5ft 9 and I'm 5ft 3). Also that he wanted his (future) children to have slim, long legs, like his daughter has. I was distraught at the time but have fortunately since realised that I don't need him and deserve better!!

Cypress25 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Why hate on us short guys? besdies 5'8 isnt THAT short You know what I love about short guys? They don't tease me about my height. It seems like every tall guy I've ever been on a date with just had to make a comment (or several) about my height. Dickheads. 5'8" is not what I would consider short. That's perfect to me. I won't date guys over 6 feet, which works out because most guys that height wouldn't want to date a girl as short as me. So don't believe the myth that all women prefer tall guys. It's not true. Any woman shorter than that would feel like a midget to me. Hey now. No need to use the "m" word. Short women are the perfect height for kicking you in the balls, so be careful.
camper15935 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Nope don't give a ratz ass. I'm 6' been in relationship from 5 foot to 5'8". Of all the things to worry about height is not even a issue.
