| When looking for someone, is height important to you?
Posted: 11/20/2005 5:50:15 PM | I don't mind dating a woman taller than me. I not into all of this, " I wear the pants in the relationship, therefore I need to be taller", i just don't care. Believe me there are much more important things to worry about when looking for a woman. It bothered me when a gf told me that it bothered her we were the same height. I only bothered me because it bothered her What can I do about that? There are a lot of things I can do in a relationship to make it better or accomodate the person, but changing my height isn't one of them!!
I guess because I am not a woman so I will just never understand why you need someone to tower over you. Why is this so important, as to be the deal breaker? | |

I have always pictured my 'perfect' guy to be taller, for the single fact that my kids might get his height. That's not to say the guy I choose in the end will be 6 foot plus. | |

Posted: 12/4/2005 2:15:29 PM | | for initial attraction yes i think it is because i am 5'2" and am just physically drawn to tall men however how tall you are or aren't in my case LOL really doesn't amount to who you are. | |

Posted: 12/4/2005 2:21:22 PM | | I've dated girls from 5'2 to 5'10" I'm 6' even.....nothing in that range bothered me, but I'm not so sure I would want to date a girl less than 5'2 or taller than 6'....but I think there is some pretty decent leeway. | |

Posted: 12/4/2005 2:24:51 PM | In an ideal world, my lover would be shorter than me, enabling me to feel more 'masculine' (for lack of a better word) around her. Then again, maybe in the ideal world, I'd be 6'2" instead of 5'8". Apparently, taller men do have some advantages in this world, a larger pool of females to choose from being one of them given the general preference for a taller man. I feel sorry for the girls that are 6' and taller. It must be harder for them to find a man. Maybe they have to take some dummy just because he's the only guy around tall enough for them. 
Having a lady who is almost exactly your height is very cool too. It makes it really easy to push her up against a wall, hold her arms back and kiss her -- no cricked necks on either side.
If I was crazy about a lady taller than me and she felt the same way, I'd throw my "preferences" out the window. What the hell, as they say, horizontally, it's not a problem and having more woman to love is okay with me! | |

Posted: 12/4/2005 2:37:56 PM | | Since someone around here mentioned the "Napoleon complex", I'll bet that he didn't have trouble finding a date LOL! The thing about not being a tall man is that you either accept being pushed around by the taller guys who inevitably think they can pick on you because they're bigger or you get tough and learn how to handle and stand up for yourself. So, the moral of the story is, ladies, you might want to consider a guy who isn't as tall as you might like because he has some inner toughness or character that he might not have had if he was taller -- which is not to say that character doesn't come in packages of all sizes, just food for thought. | |

Posted: 12/5/2005 3:58:43 PM | | I don't get it either. Many of the girls here are pathetic and shallow. The ironic thing is a lot of the girls are like 5'5" (avg.?) and they're saying they'll only consider guys over 6 feet. LOL I'm over 6 ft but I read some girls say you have to be over 6'2". Six feet three is the cut off? OH, MAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN... | |

Posted: 12/6/2005 9:18:31 PM | Well sddudes... I feel sorry for ya getting beat up after school all the time growing up. I was usually the shortest in my class also but I geuss i had the "Napoleon Syndrome" all the time. Also being able to bench press more than of the other kids in my own grade since 6th grade also helped me out some!!  I only got into 4 fights in school... won 2 of them... lost 1... tied 1. I say tied because we were both tooo tired to fight anymore!!! He was 6'4" tall. This "Napoleon Syndrome" also helped me get married to my X wife and made my son possible. So I don't think it is a bad thing. BTW my X was 5'8" tall. She gave me a hard time about being shorter than her but we were married for almost 8 years and dated for over 1 1/2 yrs.  | |

Posted: 12/7/2005 12:33:14 AM | ..Personally, I don't care how tall or short she may be. I don't believe that we can actually choose who we fall in love with, but we can decide who has an opportunity.
...Having seen some small people with more heart than a giant, more integrity than a monk, it would or could be my loss by having preconceived notions of height only. Now, if she is 7 feet tall, I will just have to get a stool to stand on ... | |

Posted: 12/7/2005 6:27:32 AM | I'm six foot, with no shoes. I've dated a guy who was 5'1" all the way to one that was 6'5". Height has nothing to do with what kinda person someone is.
And come to find out, Mr. Perfect is actually shorter, and thats ok. I can lean down. lol. | |

Posted: 12/7/2005 5:01:28 PM | i didnt think it was, as a 5 foot tall woman, cause everyone is taller than i, but when i dated someone 6 foot 6, i realized i just naturally found someone within the 6 foot range more appealing physically. I suppose if i connected with someone totally on the emotional/ intellectual level, that is wouldnt matter, but until then, i suspect i will be physically attracted to those under 6 feet.
