| Is Height an issue to Men?
Posted: 2/28/2008 4:58:19 AM | Greetings Fishers! I hope you are all well! 
Height, looks, age, color, shape...why do we always come back to the topic of "eye candy"? I always hope that I will meet a woman who is above all that, who looks at a man's words and deeds as an example of the kind of person he is. Then, is he the kind of man that woman wants to open her heart to?
If you are like me, fishing for a long-term relationship, spending your quality time with only one person, having only one Lover...then you are more interested in your partner's heart and mind and yes, even his soul.
Heart, Mind, Soul...for me, that sums up the Human Condition. Of course, if she plays piano or drums or guitar and likes to sing that makes it even better for this little 'ol Gitar Man!  
Peace and Music to you all,
Gitarman | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 9:33:45 AM | I'm 5'2"... I prefer to date guys taller than me. I have gone out with with someone who was 6'... I prefer flats but felt like a midget compared to him. So I always wore something with at least a 2" heel. And even though he and I are no longer dating I still wear them. And love them!
Height shouldn't matter. I have some friends and he is easily 6' 5" and she is close to my height. Only bad thing is that by about 14 her sons towered over her. | |

We all know that height is a big issue with women. It's very clear on these boards that most women will only date a guy taller than them and typically has to be at least 5'10" or taller.
But guys...How important is height to you. Does the women have to be shorter? Do you like her around your own height? | |

Not into women but I like guys to be at least my height, 5' 4", and under 6 feet. | |

Um, Bob, if they were under six feet, wouldn't they be dead? | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 8:45:38 PM | Hey Bob...I have a question out of curiosity.
Is height a big issue in the gay community in relationships? In straight relationships it is very important for women to have a man who is a certain height, as is evident on these boards. If the man is not a certain height he has no chance with the majority of women. Now I am sure that there are some men who prefer a certain height, but is it as big of a hangup in gay relationships. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:02:32 PM | Answering post above:
I think for the most part there are preferences but not deal breakers. Weight is a big issue, maybe even a bigger issue than it is for straight men. But the ones who do like fat guys usually like big guys (bears) as in fat and tall. I'm too fat for most in the gay community, but not big enough for chubby chasers because I'm short. So height isn't a big issue as some like tall guys and some like small, but for those who like bears it is. I've heard from several short gay guys that taller men like to dominate them; I don't mean in sex play, but as in control.
As in all things size related, breasts, penis, height, I think things start to get ridiculous. I have seen men who are under 5' 10" described as short, and men 6' and over are tall. So that's a span of two inches of men considered medium height. Percentage wise there aren't very many men 6 feet and over. So that leaves a lot of men out of the preferred dating pool for most women who don't want a short man, especially for women who want a tall men.
I understand size is a physical preference but I think physical preferences get out of hand and work against our best interests and happiness.
Please go to the link below, it's related to height, to this thread, and it's interesting.

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:21:37 PM | | Interesting...Height is such a huge deal breaker with women. There is nothing wrong with preferences, but most women have height requirements for guys that go beyond the relm of preference. I was wondering if height was more exceptable in the gay community. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 4:58:15 AM | I think we should start a new forum thread just for Chucky......
How about "Since when is it ok to bash women for having preferences?"
Or "Woman bashing: It's not just for a valid reason anymore....." | |

Bashing is really a strong word. I think he's being critical. No more critical than woman have been towards men in their criticisms. I think it's good for us to examine our preferences, men and women. Sure it's an issue he has had in his life like many other men and he's presenting it for discussion on the forum but to call it bashing? It's an overused misapplied word. | |

Yes, he's being critical. Repeatedly trashing women in general because some have a height preference. I'd be willing to bet HE has physical preferences, perhaps even requirements. So I guess Chucky HAS answered the original topic of the thread....YES, apparently, height IS an issue to men. | |

Once again a woman who would rather attack short statured men. Your superficial and shallow nature shines through more and more. Instead of looking at the world through your own eyes maybe you should try and show some empathy and open your mind a little. It’s not bashing when one is speaking of the truth.
As yourself, I do not base attraction on physical attributes. Love comes from the heart. Yes, I have preferences, but they are not requirements. I prefer redheads, but I have dated blonds and brunettes. I prefer average weight women, but I have dated skinny women and overweight women. As I have said before and others have also said…There is nothing wrong with preferences. The problem is when the preferences become superficial requirements.
Through these forums I have gotten so many messages from men and women. One woman the other day said that she was sorry that women were so superficial. Another one was a mother who’s son is only 5’4” and was sad because she didn’t want to see her son go through the persecution that short statured males go through. She had no idea it was such a big issue until reading these forums. Another one was a 6’1” guy who was dating a 5’6” woman. They had been dating for about a year. After reading these forums he asked her on a date if she would have still dated him if he was her height. Her answer, “Probably not.” He dumped her the next day.
I will continue to speak out until the discrimination ends. You may call it whining just because I am willing to stand up for what is right, but I will continue to speak out against our shallow society. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 12:35:54 PM | Chucky-
You really have no idea what makes me tick. I have dated taller men and a couple that were a couple of inches taller than me. My preferences are not, as you infer, requirements. They are simply what I personally find attractive, and, as many other people have stated, are something most of us have no control over.
There have been 2 men in my life that I was incredibly attracted to......without ever knowing what they looked like. One I never saw a picture of until we met in person 2 months after we started talking. The other one it was a few weeks before I saw a picture. Neither one of them was what I might call the type of guy I was normally attracted to. It DID NOT MATTER TO ME WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE. It's not all about physical appearance.
As I said before...you have made your point.....and answered to OP's question. Yes, height is an issue to men. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 1:00:32 PM | Girls put your heels on and stand proud!!! Chuckieee, did ya not read my posts? If this one question is your speaking out about our shallow society, you're probably reading mags on the dunny. Someone got dumped, pun intended, over a forum? I believe that as much as I believe sir up there, thinks small dogs are mean and big ones are gentle... would that translate to all sizes of a person's parts? LOL Bobby, you make me smile trying to explain to breeders of doorknob, yes that means you realmanken. You won't date someone who stands taller barefoot? If you're laying down bet you wouldn't complain.. haha...sorry, having a bit of fun here. No harm intended, I truly feel for those who were probably a forceps baby.
I married a man shorter and had nothing to do with his height or size, he had a beautiful heart and soul, just happened to die young but I don't regret it anymore than dancing with a first love who was paralyzed--while he was in his wheelchair. Closed minds are far worse than cell doors. Thanks for writing to those who write me and say hello, you're been very kind. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 2:18:29 PM | Well, 5'11" in th morning and 5'10" at night. I have mostly dated shorter women. some the same height as me.
For me though, I just find it easier to p/up and carry shorter women...
I know that all the models, whether fashion models or swimsuit models. All have to be tall. No exceptions......wonder why? | |

dreamsasea...you're a rare bread in this world today. I remember your last post too about your husband who was shorter than yourself. It's good to see a woman who doesn't judge a man based on his height. As you can see on this forum the majority of women on here base attraction on height. They belittle shorter men as less masculine or weak. It's as if these men have leprosy. This issue is one of many that make our society shallow today. There need to be more women like you who look into the heart for love. | |

It is a huge issue to women. The majority of short statured men could care less about their height and love it. It is not they who have the problem. It is women who have the problem. This wouldn't even be an issue if there weren't so many superficial women that base attraction on height and try to hide it behind the word, "Preference." Shorter men have no problem with their height, it is the women that have the problem. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 3:15:16 PM | | Okay, you win Chucky B - I can't take much more of this thread. Let me be the first to say I PREFER taller men. I'm 5' 4" and if I am dating someone even a few inches taller it's all good. When I am checking out a mans profile, I notice the height, but it would not be a dealbreaker one way or another, just a preference. I also PREFER to date a man that has been married, and has had children. I also PREFER to date a man a few years older than me. Again, these are not dealbreakers, I just find that it's a better fit for me. If you find that superficial, well so be it. | |
