Zezima Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 If you're a woman, would you date a man shorter than you? If you're a man, would you date a taller woman?
Philosoraptor Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Sure, attraction and compatibility are more important to me than height. Why not?
soccerrprp Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Aaaargh!!!!!!! Another height post..... DO a search and you'll find plenty of opinions.
Phoe Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 yep. i've only ever dated one man who was taller than me. the rest were shorter. I'm 5'8
carhill Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 As I younger man, meaning pre-30's, I must confess I found taller women intimidating, likely as a result of teasing and rejections by some I liked as a teenager and most I encountered being generally universally attractive/popular, like head-turning at social events. I didn't give the dynamic much thought at the time, and generally dated substantially shorter women, including my wife, simply because those were the women I approached. I would say the change happened at some point in 2006-07, or maybe at some point prior but after being married because, when we were at a concert standing near the mix board and I happened to be near Nicole Kidman, she was beautiful and tall and, for some reason, I didn't feel intimidated. It was at that point I realized something had changed in myself. Nowadays, women of Nicole's height (5'11"), which is about my own, or taller, don't affect me one way or the other, so I don't doubt I'd ask such a lady on a date if the opportunity and interest presented itself.
TheBladeRunner Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I would, I am 5' - 6" and let's face it: who isn't taller than me? I don't have a hang up with my height so it really doesn't bother me......besides, when we walk down the street I make them walk in the gutter so i am taller (just kidding). I had a buddy years ago that was married to an NFL cheerleader here in town and that was his joke for her because she had like 3" on him .
amazingdrummer Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Never dated shorter man, never found any man shorter than me ;-)
Dark_history Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 That's a good one, I don't know if I would. I'm a 6 foot tall male, so finding a female that was taller than me was extremely rare, I can't even remember of one off the top of my head right now. I might have given it a chance back when I was single if I thought you was smoking hot, hard to say though since I don't recall ever encountering that.
Phantom888 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I am 5'9", and dated 1 girl that was same height as me. Her profile said she was 5'7", but in reality she is taller. I have no problems with that, or even if she were taller. Surprisingly, sex was really comfortable with our given height. But overall I have only dated women 5'4" - 5'6" range.
Author Zezima Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Well considering i'm just 5 ft 2, 90% of women are my height or taller so I will most likely date a girl that is taller than me.
aussietigerwolf Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Well considering i'm just 5 ft 2, 90% of women are my height or taller so I will most likely date a girl that is taller than me. I was going to say "good luck finding a guy shorter than me" but... I just found one lol even if not by much (I'm 5'3) 1
Imported Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Nope. 10 characters... ....walk in to a bar.
laylay305 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 i'm a 6' tall lady, and i typically tend to date taller guys, but i've dated some shorter ones. though i believe the shortest guy i dated was 5'8".
newmoon Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I'm 5'10 and had a 3 year relationship with a guy 5'8. seriously, with 2 inches it was barely noticeable to us or anyone else. heels did make it worse so i didn't wear them often. it's when the difference in height starts to get to 4"+ that things get kinda weird and just look odd. I don't mind a 2" gap below my own, no problem, but more than that is a definite no, regardless of personality. I have also found that it just looks better when the body type is similar. for instance a really heavy tall woman with a slight(er) and shorter guy will make it more obvious, or a heavy man with a lean woman, it looks funnier and more awkward Edited November 13, 2013 by newmoon
OpheliaSong Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Nope. 10 characters... ....walk in to a bar. I was really into that story...and then what happened?
Ruby Slippers Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I'm tall and have dated guys a little shorter. Only one of them never made any mention or issue of it and walked around like he was 7' tall. I liked that.
USMCHokie Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I always wanted to date a woman who was 6'+...just to see what it'd be like. I'm 5'8"...
Phoe Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Knock it off Phoe................. What I do!?!? lol
