Birdy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I dated a girl who was 6'2" (without heels). Didn't seem to bother either of us and I'm only 5'10". Shorter men tend to be more insecure. Being tall helps men be more secure in who they are. I say "wear boots or something..." And even being only 5'10" I still walk, talk and act like I'm 6'10" tall. It's all in how you see YOURSELF, not how others perceive you. I could give a damn what others think about me. At the end of the day, my opinion of myself is all that matters. Hear hear. My 5'10" sweetie comes off like a giant because he's, well, an alpha male. Link to post Share on other sites
CaliGuy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hear hear. My 5'10" sweetie comes off like a giant because he's, well, an alpha male. And I walk like I've got a monster "you know what" as well (I don't, haha!) Men just have to stop comparing themselves to others and be content with who you are. People will love and respect you for it. You don't even have to be an Alpha Male. Just don't be a sheep and don't do things to make OTHERS happy. Do what makes YOU happy.

burning 4 revenge Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A commendable goal, indeed. But you must have done something wrong lately. While your new president is as bad as the last one in terms of policy, people get much less annoyed at him. Thats because hes tall Link to post Share on other sites
Cora Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Height doesn't really matter to me. Short, tall and anywhere in between. I'm 5'4" and not picky at all LOL! I do however have a soft spot for shorter guys. Link to post Share on other sites

inaperfectworld Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 well, I'm 5'8. So I need my guy to be atleast 5'10 preferably 6'0. But of course there are exceptions to the rule Link to post Share on other sites
Isolde Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm 5'4" also, and I like around 5'9 to 5'11 best. Link to post Share on other sites
You'reasian Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm 5'4" also, and I like around 5'9 to 5'11 best. And what kind of shape? Personality? Link to post Share on other sites
Isolde Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 And what kind of shape? Personality? That's not the topic of the thread Suffice it to say that all things equal, I'm not particularly attracted to guys that are noticeably taller than average. Being noticeably taller than little old ME is enough. Just as a gauge, my dad's 5'8" and he's still obviously taller than me when I wear heels. So even 5'8" is tall relative to me. But yeah, 5'9 to 5'11 is PERFECT. Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 women prefer taller men (6'+) because, on average, all their body parts are larger than a smaller mans, including their sexual organs Link to post Share on other sites
Birdy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 women prefer taller men (6'+) because, on average, all their body parts are larger than a smaller mans, including their sexual organs THIS IS TRUE and I know it from extensive experience, but people refuse to believe it!! I mean, we don't prefer tall men BECAUSE they have bigger pickles necessarily, but it is an obvious side perk. Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Oh you weird americans with your outdated units of measurement...ever heard of meters and centimeters? Of course google is nice enough to convert, but... Eh? In the UK we also use feet and inches... I'm guessing you must be from somewhere in mainland Europe? To answer the original question, I won't date any guy who is shorter than me (5ft7) but I prefer guys who are 6ft plus. My current bf is 5ft 8, which is ok I guess as he's still taller than me... but when I wear high heels I'm a lot taller, which I hate. Guys 6ft plus are always taller than me, even when I wear heels... I love tall guys Link to post Share on other sites

So even 5'8" is tall relative to me. But yeah, 5'9 to 5'11 is PERFECT. Well, I'm asian - so this excludes me and being type cast as such, makes me under that category by default. Now, if this guy was in phenomenal condition, what say you? Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 i see nerdy/dorky tall dudes (like 6'2" or taller) with hot chicks all the time. if these guys were 6" shorter they'd be sleeping alone most nites. Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Another question for the women. Where would you draw the line height-wise. Say a guy is your absolute ideal in every other respect. Would you still date him if he were your height or an inch shorter? No. I just wouldn't be attracted to him physically, so there would be no point. I'm willing to date guys who are at least an inch taller than me, although 6ft plus would be preferable, to allow for my added height when wearing heels. Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The ideal height is 5' 10'' to 6' 2'' I'm 5'2'' I don't like very tall and skinny... and I don't like short and fat.. tall and lean is my favourite.. Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bear Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Im 6'3''.....all my ex's have been 5'5'' or less...wouldnt mind a taller woman!! Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Taller than me, I don't mind. I'm 5'1" so it has never been an issue. Link to post Share on other sites
eiithan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm 5'5''. Frankly I don't have a height requirement for a guy (no matter how good looking he is, if he couldn't hold up a conversation he's automatically out), however, I prefer to be with someone over 5'7'' only because I don't want to deal with the often seen insecurity when 1) I wear high heels 2) my sister (5'7'') hangs out with me and my date. I discovered that I can be on the same eye level wearing high heels with a 5'10'' person, so 5'10'' would be an ideal height. A short guy without this type of insecurity I see no problem.

Rmyz24car Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm 6'6 and i get all kinds of people that are amazed by that. To me it's nothing special. I"m not the skinny, lanky type. I have the build of a linebacker with broad shoulder but i am not a meathead.I've found that i attract the smaller woman too. My x was only 5'3 and 110 lbs soaking wet. I honestly would prefer a taller girl so the size difference between us isnt rediculous looking. No one is my family is above 5'10, yet my brother and i are both 6'6 and around 260 lbs which baffles me. Link to post Share on other sites
SoulSearch_CO Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm 5'7" and while I wouldn't write off someone that's exactly the same height as me - taller is nice. I don't want anyone shorter. That's weird. My XH swore he was 5'7", but he had back problems and I swear the guy was shrinking. We choose our weights and standards, much as we do with many of our presidential picks, with the ultimate goal of annoying as many people as possible. That's right, foreigners - deal with it.

CaliGuy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You know, one thing I am noticing about this thread? Short girls "tend" to prefer (or end up with) really tall guys. Taller girls are OK with someone their height or a little taller. Or am I just reading too much into it? Link to post Share on other sites
