| WOMEN: What is the ideal height difference between a man and a woman?
Posted: 8/28/2006 10:53:22 AM | I think the whole "Napoleon complex" thing is crap. One thing I find ironic about it as a history major is that he was actually 5'6 while although short nowadays was average for a man in the early 19th century. It was mistakenly written down at his autopsy that he was 5'2 and then that apparently turned into the reason he wanted to conquer the world. Of course you also had Peter the Great of Russia who was 6'8 and conquered a great deal of territory himself maybe he had "tall man's complex".
If a tall man is being angry or aggressive he's just an angry guy or a go getter, but a short man gets labeled.
I've never been accused of it, as I'm a laidback guy and at 5'8 probably not quite short enough for that label even if I was angry and aggressive, but I've know friends that have been labeled like this just because they were real energetic go getter short guys, and a lot of guys and girls assumed that it was due to some kind of complex. Tall guys are cool too, height shouldn't matter one way or the other, I just think short guys get the short end of the stick in more than just their height.
As far as dating, maybe its hurt me and I haven't realized it, but all my gf's have been 5'5-5'8 and none seemed to have a great problem with it. I just remembered though my first gf at 18 who was 5'7 had me stand back to back with her to make sure I was taller when we first started dating, lol that was a funny memory I had forgotten. Anyway, I'm sure its a handicap in dating, but I think too many guys use it as an excuse for other "short"comings lol. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 11:13:27 AM | | I've dated guys right around my height (5'8"), up to 6'4". I've never dated anyone shorter than me, at least not for the long term. But . . . if I were designing my "ideal" guy (LOL), he'd be between 6' and 6'3". Tall enough that I can tuck my head onto his chest fairly easily, but not so tall that I get a crick in my neck kissing him! LOL | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 11:21:43 AM | I find it ironic that some women will yell shallow at any guy that mentions a womans weight on this forum but some of the same women have absoluttely no problem showing their own form of shallowness to the world in regards to height.
I could not care less if the girl I date is 5 foot tall or 6 foot tall. Thats how god made her. She has no control over that. If I had a problem with some ladies height I better take it up with God. Now at least in regards to weight I can work hard and try to keep myself in good shape. Thats in my control. :) | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 11:44:36 AM | | You have a point here AcesDJD. At a height of 5'3.5" with out shoes and with shoes....5'4", I definitely don’t have this so called "Napoleon complex". It’s kind of funny from what I read on this thread that men at 5’6” are already considering short. Heck, knock out 3 more inches and you get me. I know I’m not the shortest guy around, in fact I have a few guy friends that are just a wee bit shorter than I am. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 7:50:41 PM | I dated a man who was 6 foot and I have dated a man who was the same height as me.
neither mattered really when the heart was concerned. However I do find myself looking more at the men who are taller 5'10" or more...
That way when we slow dance I can smell his chest........ | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 9:45:59 PM | While probably an unpopular opinion, I'll voice it anyway. I've said it in my profile already, so I figure people can cope one way or the other. ;)
A woman judging a man's acceptability (initially speaking of course, within the milieu of using an online personals site) on the basis of his height is no different than a man judging a woman's initial acceptability on the basis of her bra size.
Most women I know would be (understandably and rightly) offended if a man refused to consider them because they weren't Pamela Anderson in the bra. I always read in personals women saying they're looking for something meaningful, they want the guy who's going to treat them right, etc., but then they overlook them because some of those guys don't meet an arbitrary height requirement.
I really understand that women want to feel protected, but if they find they're unable to feel protected because of something ultimately as meaningless as height, is the problem the guy's, or the woman's? I think the answer is pretty obvious. | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 9:56:13 PM | 6'4" is a great height for my guy. my ideal.....
however..........................GOOD CHARACTER, BEHAVIOR, ATTITUDES, ETC. ARE ESSENTIAL....CRUCIAL....AND NON-NEGOTIABLE.
therefore.....sure yeah, i love the tall ones, but I select the well-behaved ones with good manners and smarts.
I have dated 2 guys way shorter than me. one was 5'6" the other was 5'4".....a year each....... | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 11:28:52 PM | | I'm fairly short (five-foot-four), so most men are "ideal" for me: my height or taller. I don't personally know very many men shorter than me, but if they were, to overcome the "height" issue, he'd have to be quite stocky or muscular (one thing I'm quite keen on is that a guy I'm sexually interested in would be able to pick me up and lug me around the room, even for a little bit). No offence to anyone who couldn't, but I'm just being honest. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 9:32:31 PM | I completely agree with you. If the height requirement happens it happens but absolutely MUST NOT BE A DAMN REQUIREMENT!!! I totally agree 2 to 4 inches MAX is the perfect enough for a guy to be taller than her. When a guy that is a foot taller than her I guess then the lady is going to have to start wearing 6" to 10" heals lol!! If women have so high height requirements then men should have their requirements. If women want shuch tall guys and they are so damn short then when they go out the men should have their women wear super super tall heals like 6, 8, 9, 10 inch heals LOL then they will start to learn with all the broken ankles that 2 to 4 inches taller than her is perfect and women will get over there height fetish real quick.  | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 10:15:11 PM | Well since I have dated men that were 2-3 inches shorter than me(in bare feet) to about 10 inches taller than me, um............
I would have to say tall enough not to talk to my boobs when barefoot and short enough I don't need a step stool for a kiss.
The major turn off though is the attitude that some have because of their height. Napolean complex and Adonis complex are never sexy or appealing. Oh and men that have hang-ups if my six-inch platforms make me taller than them! I love my plat boots and heels, so I am not giving them up for someone else's insecurity. | |

Posted: 4/9/2009 10:34:08 AM | Preferably taller than me, I'm 4'11" (so not too hard to find someone taller... ) I have a guy friend who says that I'm the perfect height (he's 5'9"). I once dated a guy that was 6'3", it was great cuz he could get stuff out of the top cupboards, but other then that it was awkward. | |
