Suave Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I'm 5'10 and 165lbs but thankfully I have that v-shape body that women seem to subconsciously go gaga for (wide shoulders/narrow waist). Sure, I'd love to be 6'2 but I'll take 5'10 over 5'7 any day. 2
Got it Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I'd say 6 feet. That said, height in a man is almost completely unimportant to me, although I do prefer men with broad frames. My only concern is that he not object to my wearing heels even if it makes me taller. Although even that is not the end of the world -- flats are fine. Yes! Definitely the broad shoulders. I once dated a guy in college who I swear had shoulders like mine. Just wasn't doing it for me. I want a guy is definitely bigger/wider than me, not a guy whom I could wear his jeans and find them snug (I am 5'6 125). 1
ForeverHopeful1 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I'm 5'4". Anyone taller is ideal, (for me personally.) I prefer a man who is taller than me, even in 6" stilettos. 1
Sun Devil Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I am only 5 feet tall, which is far from ideal. Hopefully there are enough women out there who would overlook that for my other features
Southern Cal Dude Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I'm 5'4". Anyone taller is ideal, (for me personally.) I prefer a man who is taller than me, even in 6" stilettos. I'd still have 6 inches on you. 1

Harradin Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) I'm 6'1.5 but not measured particularly accurately. I'm 185lbs, have got very broad shoulders, not got the V shape particularly! Lean though. Tbh women don't particularly comment on my height, tends to be mostly my hands! Edited July 6, 2013 by Harradin 2
veggirl Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I am 5'8 and my ideal height in a man is 5'11. Over 6 feet is too tall imo. I don't like to feel overpowered. My bf is 5'10 (I think) and I'm taller than him in heels. I don't mind at all, I prefer a guy around my size.
Dread Pirate Roberts Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I was just wondering. I'm six foot even and I was wondering if that was tall enough. In shoes I might be 6' 1. I guess everyone has different "height standards" but I wanted to see if there was a general common ground. Is that tall enough? That's a pretty odd question. That's like saying no guy under 6 foot is tall enough. Lol My height range for women is 5 foot to 5'9" but somewhere in the middle is the best for me. I wouldn't totally rule out someone taller and I haven't known anyone shorter than 5 foot since I was in high school.

Sun Devil Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I have. There are not many of them. I dont care about a womans height. I even talk with 6 foot tall girls.
veggirl Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 weird thing is, I've noticed in my life that the taller a girl is the less she cares about height. I've dated guys exactly my height and shorter and never cared, my ex roommate was 5'11 and dating a guy shorter than me (I'm 5'8)...all her bf's were shorter than her. If anyone was gonna have a 6ft+ requirement you'd think it'd be the tall girls but it seems like its usually the short ones.

Yup I am a short one, 5'1", and I prefer tall men, they certainly grab my attention. I guess maybe I am one of those that likes in a partner what I myself lack? Such as I love big noses and hairy chests . 1
aliveagain Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I don't know why I usually end up with taller women(5'10" without shoes on) as I am only 5'7" tall. I can't explain it and I don't intentionally look for that in a partner. How is it that it keeps happening to me?
USMCHokie Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I would love to date a girl who is over 6' tall. Just to see how it is.
ptp Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I would love to date a girl who is over 6' tall. Just to see how it is. That's how it starts, the next step is, why don't you put on a strap-on honey. 4
IHateHypocrites Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I think the notion that guy has to be taller than a girl is retarded. I'd have no problem dating a girl who'd be 6'+ barefoot and wore heels often as long as I found her sexy. And as for what others say to that - to hell with them. Let them look in envy.

Where I live, a lot of women are obsessed with height and it's often the first thing they use to describe someone. I think it's because people out here tend to be taller than average (lots of people of Scandahoovian descent). 6 foot + women aren't uncommon. At 5'10", I was always considered tall or average, but when I moved out here I suddenly became "the short guy". I've actually heard women get angry at other women for "stealing" a tall guy when they see a petite woman with a tall man
karpeezy Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I am a 6'2" woman. My boyfriend is 6'2" as well but depending on shoes and posture, sometimes I am taller sometimes he is. I've dated everywhere between 5'11" and 6'7" but am usually drawn to 6'2"-6'3" I think ultimately it comes down to personal preference. If a 5'8" man is with a 6'3" woman ... sure, it looks weird...but as long as they are happy, who cares! To answer the OP though...I think 5'11 - 6'1" is in general the ideal height.
Imported Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I think proportions is more important than just height alone. You could be 6'2" and gangly looking or whatever. All legs on a man with a noticeably short torso or how about super long torso with legs like a midget. I'm only 5'11", wish I was taller, but I can't complain. I think my structure and proportions are perfect and no doubt I am biased, but I like to think I can be objective on this. I've worked out and gained enough muscle mass before to where it just made me look...short. Since then, I have purposely worked out in ways that kept me more slim and a little more on the elongated muscular look.
