Lifestream Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 I wanted to get every girl's opinion on height. I'm about 5'4". Now, I know height is an important issue for some women. I want to ask: why? And what qualities of a guy will help you look past height preference?
brightskies Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 You sure do. When I was in my teens I used to have this dumb rule that I'd never date someone shorter than me. I think it had to do with feeling "secure" with a "bigger, stronger, more masculine" guy. I liked to be able to "look up to him." Now that I'm a little older and wiser (?) in my early 20s I'm starting to realize how silly and superficial it was to limit my prospects that way. I'm dating a shorter guy right now. He's 5'5", and I'm 5'7." You can read my post if you like: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t80184/ He approached me and was confident about it. Confidence without arrogance is key. What initially caught my interest: 1. He's nice. 2. He's cute. What convinced me to CONTINUE dating him so far, in no particular order: 1. He's nice. He's warm and considerate. He was polite to start, and treats me well. 2. He's cute. The man's attractive, what can I say. He's short but has this rugged manly look about him. Sigh. 3. He's smart and educated. He's got varied interests and makes good conversation. 4. He's got it together. He's responsible, knows what he wants. 5. He's straightforward. He says what he means and means what he says. 6. He's reliable -- he calls when he says and isn't ever late. 7. We get along and have a spark and enjoy each other. In any case, those are all qualities I'd want in any guy I'd date, short, medium, or tall.
Delila Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Hey just saw your post and I'm not sure what it is. I just started talking to this amazing guy, smart, successful sweet the works. He's my height and I can't seem to get over it. My friends are telling me I',m crazy but I just love tall guys!!!!!! I'm giving him a chance though! Good luck!
