I'm 5'7" and I wouldn't mind dating a girl who towers over me

[StayBeautiful]

Again - I'm not dismissing anyone. I'm actually one of the most open people i know when it comes to dating. I check out, meet and date men of every height, race, build, hair type. It's just a preference.

[MrCastle]

Basically, height to woman is the equivalent of looks to a man. I've seen some tall guys who are below average to average looking, yet they somehow get paired up with highly attractive women. Haven't seen too many short men get highly attractive women, unless they have a great salary/income.

 

I'm a short dude in college. No great salary to speak of.

 

When I pick my woman. I typically get her. 9 times out of 10. Obviously nothing is a sure bet, but if I want her, she's mine, most of the time.

Then you must dress well and have a killer humor.

Lol that I do have. But of course. I mean people have to have positive qualities. No matter your height. A tall but poorly dressed, unfunny man is going to struggle like a short and poorly dressed, unfunny man.

A college atmosphere is different then dealing with the dating world of the rest of us.

 

I too had no problems and no issues getting a date back at that age of my life....as you get older, the dating world around you drastically changes.

 

Thats one of the problems on a forum like this. You have 10 people all arguing their opinion, and few people realize that there may be 20 or so years in age range, thousands of miles in location, and environments as different as night and day, all feeding the fire that drives their own views

I don't really do very well in college. Most of the girls I go after are taken. I go to a small school.

 

I make connections through college but don't really get many girls from my class.

 

Most of the women I date are out of college and older than me. Late 20s and above. I don't meet these women in college.

[tomtucker]

I am not asking you to apoligize lol And again...its YOUR right to have that opinion. All I'm saying is that if you are looking for a relationship that suits you, long term, and hoping to be happy....haggling over a couple inches is "not logical" in the big schemes of things.

 

But thats what many women do. They dismiss all these guys over here for being under 6ft. Then wonder why they cant find a good one with whats left over....not realizing that over half of the other single women are also trying to weed through the 6ft guys as well. And then lets also throw on the fact that many 6ft guys know that they are sought after....so they do not always have the best respect for women. So when you finally get dont filtering out all the non-datable 6ft guys.....theres not much left over.

 

But dating a guy that was 1.5 inches under 6ft....could have avoided all of that.....not to mention he would still be 4-6 inches taller than most women.

 

I wouldn't stress about it, man. Most girls say one thing and do another. I've had a few girls that cared very much about height. They seemed to change their mind and dated me anyway.

 

Guess what I found: the ones that obsessed with it the most turned out be the craziest of any girls that I dated.

 

Just my unique anecdotal experience.

Shallow people are almost never happy. Even if they get what they want, it's still not enough. It never is. That's just how it is.

 

On this site, you can see who's who. You have women who prefer taller men, but make it clear that throughout their dating history, they've dated all heights, which is exactly what a preference is. Something you'd like, but isn't a deal breaker.

 

Then you have the chicks who will only date taller, ad they tend to be the same ones bitter and angry that their dating life is not what they feel it should be.

 

And to be fair, there are men who are doing the same stuff when it comes to body expectations.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I prefer a man to be taller, but it's not a deal breaker. Some men over 6 ft aren't that physically attractive, and some shorter men have cute faces.

 

I'm not that tall anyway (5'5), so it's not like I'm going to have an issue towering over men.

 

5'5" isn't too tall, isn't too short.

[USMCHokie]

I would love to try dating a girl that was 6'+.

I have a friend that is 6'2". I will set something up

That would be amazing.

Im not gonna lie and say ive never heard any women outside of online say they prefer tall men but ive also heard tons of different preferences that women have that dont involve height

 

I find it hard to beleive that any of these short guys have been rejected by each women theyve ever approached and its all because of height and each one has been so upfront in rejection that thye told thme theyre too short im sorry i dont buy it i think its a conveneient excuse to ignore other flaws you have.

 

Its also weird to hear guys around 5'7,5'8 whine about how short they are and how crippling it is in the dating world,do you hang around nba players? youre a few inches shorter then average youre not a midget

 

I can see the poster whos 5 feet complaining that height is extremely hindering him in the dating world but if youre only a few inches shorter then average and you somehow beleive no women will date you because of height you have much deeper issues then youre height.

[Phoe]

I'm 5'8 and almost all the men I've dated were shorter than me.

 

No one cared.
