Toodaloo Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 After many arguments on here and being lied to before meeting men about height I have had many an argument at home about my own. We measured complete with tapes and spirit levels etc. I am just short of 5ft5. However when most guess my height they come in taller at 5ft7 or 8... so apparently I look taller? I have no problem dating shorter guys. I do have a problem with fibbing. My average height I would guess to be around about 6ft2-6ft3... Tallest was 7ft2 shortest was 5ft4. But most men I have dated are around 6ft2 or 3. I don't know why. Its not something I thought about particularly until all these discussions... I don't even look at height on dating profiles until I have organised a date. Then it is for identification purposes rather than sex appeal... I don't think 5ft7 is even really that short for men to be honest. It can't be changed so why bother or worry about it?
Lois_Griffin Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Well, I'm only 5' tall and with high heels, almost 5'4", so pretty much everyone is taller than me. I prefer shorter men in the 5'7" - 5'8" range.
pravinbh Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I am 5'6 heighted person and I love less than 5'6 heighted girls. I think that most of women choice is opposite as compare to me. If you love seriously anyone that time height and look doesn't matter, Only matter his/her nature. Edited October 21, 2015 by a LoveShack.org Moderator

stillafool Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 OP I don't understand why you care how shorter men feel about being with a taller woman when you don't care for them anyway. What difference does it make to you?
WomenWubber Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 As a woman who is 5'9 I find myself very turned off by guys who are shorter than me. I'm OK with a guy who is also 5'9 (although taller is more attractive). Earlier this year I briefly dated a man who was about 5'5 and I was unable to find him physically attractive due to his height. I'm curious, how do men feel about women who was much taller than them? How does it make you feel? It makes me feel nothing. Anything between 5 and 7 ft is a non issue.
seekingluck Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 At the risk of sounding cynical, it's amazing what sex appeal a short guy exudes, when he has a 'long, tall Sally' of a Bank account. The world of celebrities is full of short (rich) not-necessarily-drop-dead-gorgeous guys with beautiful tall partners on their arms.... Take Mickey Rooney. Take Dudley Moore. Take Bernie Ecclestone Take Tom Cruise (Ok, he IS good looking - but much is made of his lack of vertical bonus!) Simon Cowell EminEm Mel Gibson Christian Slater Henry Winkler Jack Black Danny de Vito Prince Currently, there are some real heart-throbs though... Mark Wahlberg Usher RDJ Daniel Radcliffe All under 5'9". Some of those people just ooze sex appeal. Wouldn't matter if they are celebs or not.
Guyouthere Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Being 6'1", Most women I get close to appear small to me. I kinda like that too. The few women I had in my life always felt protected when I held them. They have called me "bear" on their own.
bubbaganoosh Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have a friend that's 6'5" 260 pounds and his wife is 4'10" and 92 pounds. They draw looks when their together and couldn't care less about it.
Rejected Rosebud Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Man to obese woman: sorry, I prefer thin women. Group of women: What a jerk! You are so shallow! Woman to short man: Sorry, I prefer tall men. Group of women. Me too, girl! Look at him all mad. He must have short man syndrome! Haha! That is not a well crafted analogy. The "woman to short man" example needs a reaction from a group of MEN not women in order to be analogous to the first one. Which would be mostly along the lines of "women are so shallow and hypergamous!!" Amirite? :D 2
Miss Peach Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I am average height for a woman and love heels but I don't care about height. I'm sure you'll get people on both sides of this. Just remember that you cut your dating pool down significantly. My advice is to figure out what matters to you (i.e., height, looks, honestly, reliability, etc.) and then look for that.

phineas Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I think a tall (up to 5'10 ish) slender woman is sexy as hell. but a woman who is into fitness or a curvier gal needs to be at least my height or shorter or i don't find them that sexy for some reason. I'm 5'8" and if a woman is bothered by high heels making her taller than me then that's her issue.

I'm curious, how do men feel about women who was much taller than them? How does it make you feel? There is noting wrong with feeling that way. I would not date a girl taller or bigger me. To me it just looks wrong. Thank god am six feet tall and not over weight. The only time have ever been fat was when i was born. I weighed 10.2 pounds and big babys run in the family .
Zippy2000 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I havent read most of the posts here. I m at work and on lunch but I briefly dated a girl who was 5`7. Im 5`5 and she didnt mind about height. Only became an issue when she wore high heels and she towered over me. lol. Never been out with a taller woman before but was a bit of a struggle doing it standing up against the wall. lol
ManyDissapoint Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm 6'2" and I prefer women who are 5'5" - 5'7". If you are outside of that range they need to have other features to make up for it. I suppose I'm kinda picky. I don't really see short girls or tall girls as someone I would end up with in a permanent way.
Guyouthere Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I have been told by women to cut my legs down so that I didn't seem so tall. lol I always have to bend down to kiss them.
Aquaman83 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 i'm 6'1 | 185 lbs - I don't care if she is taller or shorter. I like athletic, thin girls - I tend to stay away from average + I have a friend just like me, and he likes short girls. I have another friend just like me, and he likes big girls - doesn't care about height. Its all a matter of preference but there are studies that the most % of matches are within 4-6" of each other. The second us 2-3" then the third 0-1% The bottom is the woman taller than the man. But i look at it as I am with a tall woman. I am confident. People see two tall people (girl I went out with last week is 5'11 another a girl 2 weeks ago was 5'10) - I dont care if she is wearing 5" heels.. if she wants to feel sexy and wear heels. then wear the heels and I will compliment.
