I've dated both taller and shorter, something such as this really never enters my mind as far as attraction is concerned. I'm more attracted to the person they are as opposed to physical attributes. Never minded a tall girl as we all need someone to look up to and as far as shorter ones, well hey it's nice to have someone who looks up to you too.

I am 6'2, and generally avoid women who are under 5'3. I once danced with a chick who was under 5 feet tall, and my back was killing me. I have never dated anyone taller, but wouldn't mind. There are few chicks my height.

I had this problem before...twice actually. Was set up with a man once that was shorter than me and I'm only 5'2''. But it was way too uncomfortable for me. But I have also been set up with someone that was way taller than me (he was somewhere between 6'4'' and 6'6'') and that was way uncomfortable... thought I was gonna break my damn neck just talking to him. I realized quickly I prefer a man to be at least as tall as I am, but hopefully a little taller. There were no second dates with shorty or the jolly green giant. LOL

I'm a tall woman and would prefer someone either my height or taller. The only reason I feel uncomfortable if my partner is shorter then I is because he should be taking care of me not the other way around lol

I used to say 5'10" or more and I'm 5'3". I only did that because the guys lie so much about their actual height. You ask for 5'10" and get 5'7" from a liar. Actually, I'm just happy if I can at least look into his eyes without having to look down into his eyes when standing straight across from him.

I see you're 5'2" ... for sure there have to be some ladies out there who are about your height or smaller who would love to be with you. Otherwise, I'd bet that there are ladies out there too who wouldn't mind any height difference ... in other words, if you're shorter than they are.

I never dated anyone shorter than my self, but thats just me.



That describes my dating history too! Just worked out that way for me; it's not that I only looked for tall women.

On this one it's everyone's personal opinion, I personally like to date guys slightly taller than me, it may be a stereotype that it's "weird" for a girl to date a shorter guy but I like to be able to look up into my guys eyes, and snuggle comfortably on his chest. Not the other way around. No offence there's nothing wrong with being short, and it wouldn't stop me from dating someone but if I had the choice i'd prefer tall.

As long as the girl's size isn't anything extreme, doesn't matter to me. Dating a girl that is 3ft or 7 foot might be weird feeling to me.

Height, eh?
Hrmmm.. Being 6'2" barefoot, height is not a factor..
The shortest guy I dated was about 5'4" and have never dated someone taller than myself.
So no, I don't think height matters at all.

To Cotter;
I've met more than one guy who has lied about his height.......I don't think they realise that a lot of women can tell.......:) I prefer taller men.......The tallest I've dated is 6'6", and I'm 5'5"..the shortest; 5'6"

The taller the better. I have a thing for guys who are 6'5". But it seems that the taller they are, the****ER they are.

Women shorter than 5'7" don't really appeal to me. I'm 6'5" tall; hanging out with pygmy women doesn't interest me.

Yes, but I admit, for me, it's due to my own insecurity. I've always had this Miss Piggy/Kermit phobia. I don't want to be bigger than my guy. I know I may lose out on some terrific guys but such is life. Plus, there's this primal feeling I get when he towers over me when I'm standing really close to him and his neck is right there, mouth level....yum, yum...

Doesn't know what he's missing out on ... the shorter we are the closer we are to ....... Nah we won't go there tonight!

I can understand this ... I'm a dancer (ballroom etc.) and believe me, it's actually not desireable to have a partner where there is a lot of height difference. I've often wondered how tall guys could possibly be comfortable dancing with little shorties like me ... especially when it's a slow dance and you really want to snuggle.

Yea ... I can see where height is important. Me, I'm just looking for a man a little taller ... I like to be able to reach up and put my arms around his neck and pull myself up to his lips.

I am only 5 feet tall, yes I want a tall guy so he can reach all the things I cant and I can bend down to get what he cant.

Then again dancing is a good idea, standing next to him makes me really feel short.

But it is funny when he has to reach the small size shoes for me cause they or on the top shelves and the big shoes are on the lower ones go figure.
