WOMEN: What is the ideal height difference between a man and a woman?
Posted: 4/9/2009 12:51:28 PM
Well I'm around 5'6 so for me I like men to be at least 5'9 or taller. However for some reason I find taller guys often alot sexier or at least when I see a tall guy it makes me look twice. my receant ex was 6'6 and I thought that was hot. But generally anywhere btwn 5'10 and 6'2/'6'3 I think is reasonable for me.

I prefer men to be taller than me. I like to look up when I'm kissing them, and I also like to feel as if (at least in comparison), I am a small and delicate flower.

I think 4-5 inches taller would be about perfect. Then he is still taller when I chose to wear nice shoes.

This is preferable, but not really a deal breaker. I do feel strange dating guys obviously shorter than me though.

i'm 4ft 10, the tallest man i've been with has been 6ft 1 and the shortest 5ft 3! lol

I like a man to be around 5ft 7 or a bit taller.

That depends on how insecure the person is I guess. Since most of society is superficial, often after many trials and errors, people settle down to what feels comfortable for them. As stated earlier, females find taller males more attractive because it gives them a sense of security.

There is this one girl, who is 4'11 wanting guys over 6'. Being crude, I wrote her to inform her that sold buckets, so that she could purchase one in order to stand on to kiss em.

As long as you dont mind breasts poking you in the eye, or resting an elbow on your head, whatever goes for you.

Ideal height for me would be my height, makes it easy to see eye to eye. It doesn't really matter though, I have no issues with women who are taller or shorter than I am.

i've never really had a problem with the too short end of the spectrum, i'm only 5' tall so that makes EVERY man taller then me. Honestly, it would be difficult to find a man shorter unless he is actually a "little person".

My personal record for tallest was 6'9", and he was actually TOO TALL. I was with him for 3 years+ and loved every minute of it, but certain physical aspects were a little hard to deal with, and I only did becuase at the time we were very much in love at the time.

I like to think I would pefer someone in the 5'4 + range, but I could deal with wearing flats in public for the rest of my life for the right shoter guy!

One of the more admirable things about this thread, at least with most of the posters, is that they know the difference, and show it in their wording, between "requirement" and "preference". There's nothing wrong with a height preference; it's what someone like that has been attracted to, but the use of the word "preference" shows that there's some mutability there. They'd like to have more height, but they're open to other things as well, and willing to take in the whole package before making a decision.

What's still alarming is stupid things like women saying a man has to have a certain number of inches on her because she's wearing heels, as though her (inane, so we're clear) fashion choices should have any effect on another person's worthiness to date her. Hey, I wear hiking boots! That means any woman who wants to date me should have a D cup! See the disconnect there?

What's even more asinine, however, is the notion that a woman wants a man half a foot (or more) taller than her. At that point it's just an unrealistic pairing that does little more than shore up her ego. And that, I think, is what's at the core of this. "It makes me feel more feminine", and "I like to feel protected" are often (weak) shields thrown up in an attempt to logically defend a perspective that's inherently illogical, and unjustifiable.

Any woman who'd get any sense of improved self worth, confidence, or "special feelings" as a result of a man she's dating being taller than her is a pitiful wretch who needs to work on being a solid, strong, confident person because of themselves, and not because of any other input from any other person. It isn't "self confidence" if it doesn't come from the self. Only when a woman reaches such a point does she have anything to offer to a mature, adult relationship aside from her body.

I like them as tall as possible. I'm just attracted to tall...sometimes 'freakishly tall' men. But I'm short, so as long as the guy is my height or taller I'm game. I've met one man in my life that was shorter than me...he was a little person, I'm 5'1".

Silentman...It is too bad that women don't think logically like you do. A women's thought process is based on emotions and not logic. If women used logic this wouldn't be an issue and we wouldn't be hearing these stupid reasons that a man has to be taller or has to reach a certain height.

I am still waiting for weight to be an actual number on here to level the playing field.

Being tall for a guy is kind of a pain. I'm 6'6" and find it definitely limits the women I'd date. I'd find it hard to date someone under 5'5". At my brother's wedding, I was the best man and the made of honor was 5' even. When I walked her down the aisle after the ceremony, the photographer took our picture and it's just funny. She's only a few years younger than me, but it looked like I'm walking my little kid sister down or something.

At 5'1, I don't really care. Most men are taller than I am. I can't really date shorter men because that would be little people.

I personally prefer above 6 foot at five four. I managed to date a guy more than a foot taller than me and I barely wear heals.

I'm 5'4" and the men I have dated (or married) range from 5'2" to 6'4" (I have no height preferences or requirements).

But since you asked, the sweetest height differential for me is probably about 3-4" to an upper range of 6" - no kinks in the neck and all of the bits line up just f-i-n-e.

The ideal height difference for me is about 5 inches. I won't rule out men who are less then 6'1" but they have to be my height or taller. That is just my preference
