I like a man to tower over me and at 5'3, most men do.

I think any man shouldn't feel held back by his height though, most women aren't strict in their height issues with men... I think I could look beyond height sometimes.

Here's what I think of this thread.


Blah Blah Blah, Yadda Yadda Yad, Focus on your life instead of complain about crap, Blah Blah Blah Yadda Yadda Yad, Ladies and Gentlemen, get your heads out of your @$$, Blah Blah Blah, Yadda Yadda Yad, Use what you got if you werent given that, and, Dr. Seuss should've wrote, most of human beings are pu$$!e$ wearin a hat.

Get off your behind, and approach tall women. I do it. I love it when it bugs them too.

This girlfriend of mine is 5'9, my height, and tells me long stories about how she doesn't like tall men. Thats a bunch of @$$ dust coming from most women until they get to know me.

And let me tell you something ladies, feeling safe has nothing to do with tall or short men. Its not the size of the dog, its the size of the bite. HAHAHAHA.

Its like me saying, I feel loved when I am with a taller woman. What a stupid thing to say. I love when some women just say the stupidest things on these forums.

I personally love tall women. No offense tiny ladies, but in my experience, little short women are louder, more obnoxious, less collected, more demanding, and their personalities always seem to be jumping up begging for more attention.
Thats just my experience, don't get all Cat like on me now, MEOWW!!

Short men are pretty much the same like Joe Peshi (is that how its spelled?) unless they have a "I dont want to be seen or heard" personality. Hahaha.

Tall women on the other hand are a bit more graceful, and if not, atleast they can fake it until I call their bluff.

I was buying groceries at this store today, and as I opened the door and was getting out, this tiny little dude just darted past me. He was in a real rush to get in. I found that hilarious.

Being in the military, I've seen some pretty tiny guys do some pretty hardcore stuff, while the big guys just looked like huge "shoot me first will ya? I can be seen from space next to the great wall of China" meatshield looks.

I am generalizing. So if I said something and you think its directed at you, email me, I wont respond to anything else.

Again no offense to ANYONE, just dont take it upon yourself, its just in my own experience. I dont discriminate and I'll pick personality over height any day.

I have to techincally agree with "awesomejim" on this. It has been researched. On a personal level I can tell you that I am SIX FEET tall and I have had 2 romances that lasted for about a year each, one with a 5'4 guy and the other with a 5'6 guy. Yep....ok...stop laughing!! It did look awkward, but with 5'6 guy we had so much fun together we couldn't care less how we looked. 5'4 guy was uncomfortable with it and that did make it much more of an issue. To me that proves ATTITUDE is so important in life. Anyway, to be honest when we were out together I did sort of feel like they were my children...my kids with facial hair. Ah, the whole thing was a bit weird, but I gotta say...and this is NOT a scientific study with a truly random sample...but...best sex ever was with a SHORT guy! Ok enough of that....in my dream of dreams I do prefer a man to be just 1-2 inches shorter than me all the way up to 6'6 (he was a nice comfortable size man to be with). As much as I liked the short guys, by the end I was just ready to scream, "I WANT A LIFE SIZE MAN!!"

I got news for ya, dude. For the most part...MOST women prefer tall men. I'm only 5'5, I get hardly any responses...but that's ok...I'm looking for ONE woman, not 31. As soon as I find her, she's going to be one fortunate girl!

If this were totally true about women liking Tall men, then I woulda been set a long time ago. I mean I'm 6'7". You know what, or once in my lifetime I'd like to date a tall woman so that I don't have to prop my head at a 90 degree angle downword just to see them.

In my experience (i'm 5'8") it's purely instinct (which I can't blame you for).

Hats off to the ladies out there who give us shorter guys a chance, though!!!

Well, I'm 5'11" and I prefer women to be at least 5'8" but I don't always get them that way. So I have to date shorter women too.

I agree with Mr. Clean.

But you know what. We do so much belly aching with the vessels we are given.
The real you is not the physical vessel, but the spirit contained within.
In your current incarnation, you may be tall. In your next incarnation, you may be short and puny. Enjoy the life you have been given and enjoy the person(s) that makes you happy.

In the end we all are really shapeless beings of energy inhabiting a prison called a physical human body.

My experience is if they lie about their height they will lie about everything else.

It depends what you mean by "tall men." I'm 5'9" and prefer a guy to be about 5'8" or 5'9" (my height, basically). But I think I'd prefer a 5'5" guy to a 6'5" one. I don't know why really, but i've never gone for guys over 6 feet. Just not what I'm attracted to. So I guess I'm an anomely.

Personally, I found being tall to be a problem. I mean, I am a guy who is 6'7" tall, and usually the tallest wherever I go, and I've usually (but not always) found that women seem put off by it. I've been out with women from 5'4" to 6'2" and myself, I've never minded whatever the height difference, but quite a few women have turned me down because I am "too tall for their liking". The only woman I went out with who loved my hieght was 6'2" herself.
Basically, I think I've found the opposite problem.

I'm 6'1" and tend to find shorter guys more attractive. Growing up, I was insecure about being tall, especially in high school. Sometimes I worry that I'm not feminine enough when I'm bigger than the guy I'm out with.

But when a shorter guy takes a strong interest in me, treats me like a lady, and shows no insecurity about the height difference - well, nothing makes me feel more attractive. He's willing to go against the "norm" of being the taller one in the relationship; that really makes me feel feminine, attractive, and valued.

I could be wrong here, but I don't think that every tall woman prefers a taller man. Also, even if she does prefer a taller man, I still believe you can have an awesome relationship with a taller woman and vice versa. My old best friend is 5'7" and his wife is 5'11" and they're happily married.

I believe that initially a woman wants a taller man just as much as a man wants a shorter woman. But at the same time I strongly believe chemistry outweighs height. It just depends on how important height is to a person. Some people might have height extremely important just as much as others have nose shape extremely important. But at the same time, I believe people overlook height because a wonderful relationship can still be established with great attraction.

I have read success stories on other dating sites about a woman finding a special man who didnt fit her criteria initially, but she just foudn him to be amazing. Chemistry is something very special, and for those who believe in soulmates; Finding your soulmate can by far outweigh certain criteria.

Just my 2 cents!

The reason I prefer taller men is because they make me feel safe. there are a few men who are shorter then me who can make me feel as safe. but, i met a man who was 5'2" (i'm 5'7") who made me feel as afe as i would with a man 6'5".

also it's nice to have guys who are taller to get to high places. it's a perk

but if a guy is shorter then me he has to work twice as hard to make a girl feel safe

I am only 5' 2" and have always been attracted to tall men.
I am not sure of the reasons, but hands down it is one of the main thing I find sexy about a guy. Masterpi... Like your answer....

It is thought to be a genetic thing going back to hunter-gatherer days. Women ( not just tall ones) prefer men who are taller than them because height is subconsciously associated with a superior ability to provide food and protection. See Nigel Barber's book: The Science of Romance., Prometheus Books, New York. 2002

To be quite honest..I like a man who is as tall as I am...or taller...because well..I've dated a couple who were shorter than I am...one was by about 4 or 5 inches, and quite honestly hugging him was like hugging my daughter..not to mention is I wore heels....maybe just a comfort thing I guess..

Well I'm six feet tall and really love it when a guy is taller than me, but i have dated shorter guys and am open to it. Still,it just seems weird when a guy is so much shorter and lighter than me...it just doesn't feel right. So i guess it is a deeply rooted senses thing, as well as how nice it feels to have a taller bigger man on my side when we go out together. But I do keep an open mind. If I found a guy who was perfect for me, what is a few inches between true love?
