Ladies...what's your ideal height in a man?

[CD111]

haha this tread is great

 

I do have to agree with numerous posters that it's not about literal need for a man to protect me, I'm 5'10". But I thoroughly enjoy being with a man that has that protector aura about him. He doesn't necessarily have to be taller then me. But a man with a average to built physique. I am just not that attracted to very slender men, no matter what their height. It's just because I am more curvy (size 10-12) and don't like to feel larger then my man.

 

Part of it is my issue, the other part is that I have men complain that I am too tall when I wear high heels....they just need to get over it..LOL.

 

I don't care if I am an inch or two taller then my date with 4 inch heels.

 

One thing that I really don't like is if the guy has smaller hands then me. It makes holding hands weird and is a constant reminder that I am bigger then him.

[You'reasian]

No I think youre right

 

Its like a lot of Plain Janes want really good looking guys and a lot of gorgeous girls are ok with average looking guys

 

Im not saying thats always the case, of course, but there is something to it

 

I've noticed this too.

[Trialbyfire]

But I thoroughly enjoy being with a man that has that protector aura about him.

This is it, in a nutshell! Primal.

This is it, in a nutshell! Primal.

 

Can't argue with biology, and I think it's ridiculously arrogant to say that we've evolved beyond our ancestral instincts. I mean, Homo Sapiens has existed in its current form for about 200,000 years. It's only been a few millenia since we even developed "society". Evolution doesn't happen that quickly. You Tarzan, me Jane and that's all there is to it.

My current BF is 6'1 and boy do I love it I can't date anyone shorter than 6'0 I just don't think I can I love how tall and skinny he is and how toned and fat free his body is

 

these are the kind of comments that make me want to crawl in a hole and never come out... i mean this girls 5'4" for gods sake

 

am i crazy for feeling like that?

[CaliGuy]

That's because you are deeply insecure and lack confidence....

Yes. Yes, you are.

Haven't you heard? variety is the spice of life .

 

We have this exchange student progam in Europe called 'Erasmus'. A good friend of mine(a bit smaller than me), went to Denmark. If you don't know it by now,I'll tell you. Sweden. Denmark. Finaland. The guys from there. Are HUGE. muscled and gorgeous, yet, my friend and several of his classmates had more luck in Denmark(where the guys are so tall and some girls are even taller than us) than they ever had in my country! It wasn't due to the preferences of our native girls, in height.

 

No, the guys got the girls in Denmark because they went there with a high level of confidence. At first it was more hot air than anything else, but they came to realize that that hot air, the girls were really attracted to.

 

The hot air turned into real confidence, that, got them even more girls and when they returned to our country, they finally had the courage to ask the girls they wanted, out, instead of sitting in their butts, playing over and over silly excuses of "I'm not going there, because she'll reject me over my height!"

 

Even Casanova got rejected once in awhile and that didn't stop him from being who he was.

 

The right woman will love you for who you are and how you are. But, low -self esteem and lack of confidence is an hindrance on your quest for love. Work on that, and you'll be happy. a happy woman will come along.

[Lusitan]

you love having to go on your tippy toes?????? That is an inconvenience....why in Gods name would you want that, let alone put it above other characteristics of a person that are actually important. Does it make any sense that I "Love short women so I can rest my arm on their head". No, it's stupid

 

 

Or "I love short women because it helps my insecurity as I am surrounded by guys who have more muscles than me"

 

 

Either way, the female and the male are being used.

 

The male is being used because she fancies him, for his capacity to protect her(where do you ladies live - in ancestral Africa? )

 

And the girl is being used as a tool, to cater his body insecurity.

 

 

Women are very confusing creatures. They say they want a protector who is 'tall', and then they say they want him to be skinny. It's a complete contradiction...

 

 

No, no, that would make sense

 

I'd say the female who wants this also wants the guy to be muscled. Problem is is that most tall guys are very skinny as well. I've only seen a case of 'genetic perfection' in my life. The dude was, 6'3' or more and was extremely well built but he was built in a way that prevented him from looking like a bag of muscles.

lol this thread is for fun...also I never said I don't care about anything just height...just have fun with it...I truly do care about personality, values, sense of humor, kindness, caring and loving however when it comes to the physical aspect I love!!! absolutely love height...and maybe being on your tippy toes is viewed as an inconvenience to you and I'm cool with that, but it certainly isn't for me...I love my BF's height and I see as an added bonus not as ok I'm with cause he is talll...but that height is a turn on for me I love to be in his arms for some random reason I can't comprehend i feel safe and secure...

[MSUE]

you know what else I love about him...this is of course after all the personality traits that are indeed a priority...I love his lean muscular body...GOD is such a turn on!!!! he's not just this skinny stringy tall thing...he's perfect...he is to run cross country and has won many nationals...get the pix?

 

anyhow people just have fun with this thread...its not about what do you prefer? personality or height? its simply asking what heigh woman prefer not its order or place on the list...just have fun with hit

[MSUE]

lol maybe you are shorter than average and have a complex...who knows...certainly not my place I must admit don't attack me though and assume I'm superficial because I'm simply having fun and asking girls in LS what height they like...then again I never said that height is number one on the list nor did I imply it either...just chill...everyone has a preference of some sort in life...some like coffee some like tea...is as simple as that...I*'m not sure why you are so ticked off by it...its just pure fun

[MSUE]

its all good

[MSUE]

helloa...I'm not by any means freaking out...LOL...I am simply having fun and most of the people that contributed did as well...and if some take it too serious or find my thread offensive then noone is forcing them to participate...

[MSUE]

it was towards me but its all good...I'm cool with it... it is what it is...most had fun which was the idea behind it and also imformative...and some few didn't and that's ok too...I've been here long enough to know the drill...and as a forum no topic is off-limits

[kiss_andmakeup]

I've dated all different heights. I have never had a specific height that I prefer...I am 5'8" so as it usually happens, I am not naturally drawn to many men that are below that. But that's not to say that I wouldn't give them a chance. I did date a guy who was 5'7 for a little while, and truth be told, he was one of the better lovers I've had and by far had the biggest...erm...*package*. ;p Just sayin'!

 

Current bf is 5'10 and that's fine for me. He gets a little annoyed when I wear high heels but it's never really affected our relationship. :]

[MSUE]

I was married to a man that was 5'7 and I'm 5'4 ...he was a great guy but he was the shortest w the shortest package...LOL that thing was like 3 and a 1/2 inches erect...if that...but he was a great guy...now my BF is 6'1 and I love it and has the package to go with it if not more...I love love love his height

[MSUE]

doesn't seem like they are having fun now a lot of people taking offense to it but yeah that's their problem. well, i still think the person referred back to this thread, because of all the other recent new ones regarding height. i think he was using your quote as an example of how some can be and very picky about height. i personally don't get it. what is with shorter people wanting very tall ones. to me it sounds like an insecurity thing on their part.

 

i would never not date someone just because of height, although i wont lie it would bug me if the person was remarkably taller or shorter than me, but that doesn't usually happen luckily

 

yeap oh well...if someone isn't having fun is their problem...it wasn't about using an example it was about passing judgment..trust me i get it...I've been here long enough to know the drill...I can tell you this ...my height preference has nothing to do w insecurities as I don't have that problem in life...my mom did a great job raising me...lol...I just love to be in the arms of a tall man...I love the feeling...I love being the petite girl I am...and I love being picked up...aaaggggggh boy do I love it

[caramel c]

I am 5'7'' and I wear high heels every single day so I do prefer a taller guy, 5'11 or taller.

[MSUE]

lol wtf...I'm 5'7 and I have a 6 inch PENIS. I hope you don't think all shorter dudes have tiny penises

 

lol no I do not think that height and penis size are always hand on hand...I was simply reffering to those 2 men...and when I said the package to go with it its because it sucks to date someone that tall and have a below average package all together...anyhow if you must know...lol... my BF's is a bit over 8" rock on...and size and pleasure don't always go together..I'm fully aware but in my case I have both...size and pleasure and

i think we get it, your bf is 6'1 and you love it good for you

[Lyssa]

nice to know, im having wonderful images now

 

:laugh:

[Viking]

We're talking ideals not requirements.

 

But what a lot of women forget is that their ideals become their requirements. I'm 5'8" and dated someone who was 5'1" and felt it was fine. Now, I probably wouldn't date someone under 5'3" but don't rule it out. It seems that with girls there's the attitude that they need to have a guy who is worthy of NBA scouts attention he's so tall. Means us average height guys just have to work a little harder or have better personalities. What I don't get is when the girls want the guy to be towering over them. I would rather have my own height so we're of equal height.

[MSUE]

good for you, but yeah i think thats a little too much info lol, no one exactly ask

 

lol then again having fun...you may find it tmi...well sorry...and yes noone ask directly...but since mbwood fell the need to share his package size I figured I'd respond back...

[butcher's hook]

What I find is that the super short women are the ones with the most unrealistic demands. I think these women go after what they don't have.

 

 

I am 5'8.5" and I don't care for super tall guys really, I like a guy in and around my height give or take a few inches up or down. I want to look into his eyes not look up. If I wear heels I will more than likely be a bit taller than him anyway. My current bo is 6ft tall when I wear heels I feel almost taller than him, though I am not. I discuss with men early on I hope they won't mind if I wear heels they never care at all. I find some guys have hangups about height. They need to be taller than the girl. I don't but I ask to make sure they don't mind.

 

My ex was a few inches shorter than me and I didn't mind at all, we used to get extended looks at times and I could care less I would wear heels on purpose sometimes to make our height difference even more substantial.

 

One time we had some young women stare us down and snicker at us on the street. Some women are SO insecure, it's pathetic. I feel sorry for their lack of self esteem it's a pitty to go through life getting caught up in minutia, no pun intended.
