Hi Powered Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 i had a date with a guy who is the same height as me. Everything else was ok but it bugs me that he is so short. I mean really bugs me. I find i have this problem a lot. I cannot overlook it. Should I not date men unless they meet a minimum height requirement - that cuts out a whole load of men - but i cannot bear to have a man the same height as me. Its not on.

Posco_Proudfoot Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If it bothers you then you probably shouldn't date or accept dates from guys that are shorter. I prefer women that are not taller than me. It isn't a major problem though. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Hi Powered Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Good - i would like to hear from others: men and women i know it works for tom cruise - but in normal life i think it looks odd when i see a taller woman. Its like she is trying to be the man. Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've never met a man who was the same height as me. If I did, it would be too short for me. I prefer men who are larger. It's primal and shallow. I embrace it. Link to post Share on other sites

Its like she is trying to be the man. Male, mid 20s. I agree. I am 6"0' but I have no issues womens height, but a couple where a woman is taller is definately not the social norm. They probably get a lot of stares, which of course is very rude. Link to post Share on other sites

dilly Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Im 5' 10". I dated a girl that was 6' and liked to wear heels. She was 6'4" with heels. Utterly ridiculous. LOL! It didn't last. The girl i'm dating now is 5'9" and with heels she is taller than me but I don't mind. I like it. Link to post Share on other sites

S.T.C Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Why are you wasting everyone's time by dating a guy that doesn't fit an important criteria in your list? If his height is a major turn off, just part ways with him and find someone who is taller. Link to post Share on other sites
fral945 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I wonder why some single women factor in heels into the equation? You should start a thread on that. I can accept the height thing to some extent, but there are women on here who just HAVE to have a man that is taller than them when they wear 4" heels. The logic of that escapes me.

D-Lish Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have been seeing someone who is the same height as me- we are both 5'8". I knew his height before we met from a dating site. I was worried it might be an issue for me. I have always liked dating men taller than me. I liked him from the moment I met him. I frequently wear taller shoes and he likes it. It's not that I had a standard before- just a bit of a preference. He knocked the preference right out of me with his charm and hotness. I haven't looked back since. I think when you meet someone you click with, things like a small height difference cease to be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites
Bells Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What's really funny is, the guy could be really handsome, works out, decent muscle tone..but if he's short....he can be out of the running. Link to post Share on other sites

You sound bitter. So it is perfectly acceptable for a man to want big boobs, long hair and a nice ass, but it is unacceptable for a woman to want a tall, well toned, chisel chinned man?

itgirlragdoll Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm 5'8, which isn't super tall, but tall enough where I frequently encounter guys who are the same height as me. My current bf is only about 5'10 so when I wear heels I can be taller than him and it's never bothered me. I also dated a guy for a few months last year who was MAYBE even a little bit shorter than me and I was very attracted to him. And, not that it's the be-all and end-all. But I should mention that the guy I dated who was my height or maybe shorter, had the biggest, erm, package, of any guy I've ever been with. ;] Link to post Share on other sites

So it is perfectly acceptable for a man to want big boobs, long hair and a nice ass, but it is unacceptable for a woman to want a tall, well toned, chisel chinned man? Not at all, but I've yet to know a guy who has completely rejected a girl solely because she didn't have his preference of breasts or butt. I'm sure some guys out there do, but very very few. It's a common thing for a woman to reject a guy simply for being short. Link to post Share on other sites
O'Malley Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not wanting a guy who is your height or shorter is no different than how I see guys who constantly wear ball caps as a turn off. It's based on personal criteria that doesn't make sense to anyone else. If you don't find someone sexually attractive, it doesn't matter why, it's simply nipped in the bud. When you really find someone desirable, your criteria becomes unimportant. Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Shortie Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Men reject women for other things so lets not get preachy kashmir. If you don't like short men...5'7 isn't really what I would call short but pretty average..then don't date them. It's that simple. I don't usually like meat heads..guess what? I don't date them. This isn't rocket science. Link to post Share on other sites

Trialbyfire Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't get this at all. If a man said to me, I only date tall women, that's okay. I stopped growing when I was 13 so, Sayonara! Not a big deal. As a matter of fact, I suspect I get rejected all the time, with a first glance, since I'm neither blonde, tall or big-chested or big-arsed. That's really okay! Seriously.
