| Is Height an issue to Men?
Posted: 3/18/2007 12:36:21 AM | Little people fiesty, because they have to be aggressive to overcome their stature, and big people are more gentle, as a way of overcoming their height. By big, I refer to height, not thickness! Anyone else see that?  D | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 2:08:54 AM | I love how people take a forum subject and turn it into a "bash everyone" type of thing. Seriously all....lets keep the postings relative to the subject and take your egos elsewhere.
Thank you | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 10:21:52 PM | I think it is a more an issue with women. Men tend to "fudge" their heights by a few inches (like we won't notice!) Anything under 6 ft, means probably 3 inches shorter than they state... just in my experience.
No reason to lie... you know how tall you are, just be honest! | |

We don't all lie. If I'm not 5' 11", then I've shrunk.

Lying on your profile is just a sure way to never get very far on here. You can't hide the lies forever. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 5:52:15 AM | I don't care. But if the woman is sensitive about it and is not comfortable with being taller than me, then I will feel that, and there are ways around that, but really, she just has a different preference and is not comfortable with me being shorter... you always wonder... would she care if we were just friends, and hanging out?
I'm 5'10", this issue doesn't come up much, but I was with a woman for 5 years who was 5'11". She didn't like being taller than me. People are starving, there are homeless and abandoned children, corporations are stealing water from aboriginal people and global warming is at an all-time high yet it somehow matters how tall she is.
[original post
Do guys care if a girl is taller or shorter than them? Which do most prefer?
I am 6 feet tall, and I was curious if most men care that a woman would be taller than them. To me I personally do not prefer to date a man shorter than myself, but what is it like from a mans perspective?

Janet, you must be REAL short!
lol... maybe I forgot to mention "men" are the ones that fudge on their true heights? I don't feel less accepted by how tall or short I am. My kids call me shorty, though, as they are both well over 6foot... actually my ex called me shorty and he was about an inch shorter than me... but he may have called me alot of things I disagreed with or that had no basis in reality :) | |

Janet isn't short. Ok, she's a bit short the normal quota of mean spirits but she's certainly not altitude impaired.
my ex called me shorty
Yes, but did you call him shorty? | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 10:33:10 AM | | I'm like 5' 9" i love taller women. I think it's a problem for those [women] who aren't comfortable with their own height. i've dated women that are taller than me and it didn't work out cause they didn't want those people looking at the two of us to say something dumb to her. Get over it. If you have a good time with me my physical shouldn't even matter. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 1:07:59 PM | for me it's not an issue as to what society thinks about the two of us. My highschool boyfriend was shorter than me and swore it wasn't a problem... but he got mad when I wore tall heels (I did anyway because I can't change who I am for someone else...not to mention waste thousands of dollars worth of stilettos sitting in my closet... that would be a sin) He always seemed like he had to be extra aggressive to prove he was the man in our relationship. I know this was just him and I'm not generalizing about other shorter guys but he definitely had a napoleon complex. (don't yell at me for that... HE had one... not all short guys are aggressive i KNOW) But my point is he acted like he didn't care that I was his height or taller in heels... but in the end it definitely made him insecure no matter what he said.
For me it's that in a relationship I want to feel like the female... and him the masculine man. I guess if I liked metro guys I wouldn't mind if they were short cuz it wouldn't matter if they seemed more masculine than me or not, but when I'm taller than a guy I feel masculine... especially since I'm a strong female (but NOT manly) and not quite a shrinking violet. I like to lean up to kiss... rest my head on his chest when we dance... and just the whole feel of being with a big strong man however cliche that sounds...
It's nothing against shorter guys... one of my best friends is (maybe) 5 foot 6... they're just not for me romantically.
I'm not insecure about my own height or about myself in general... I just like what I like in a man physically. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 10:59:12 PM | As I have a hero complex, I am thoroughly compelled by the idea of dating a lady taller than me. It would be like going through the world with a deity at your side. And what man wouldn't want to be a stamp-collector to the divine? Since my head is already three feet tall, there is not a lady in the world who could be "taller" than I. A man only needs to add height to his perception of the world to walk tall. Then it would not be an issue.  | |

Yes, yes, yes... it's not so much what the other person looks like of how tall they are, it's how you "feel" around them. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 7:03:32 AM | isn't that true with everyone, Janet we want to "feel" great when we are around them? | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 7:44:21 AM | I would hope so, Bill. :)
But feeling "great" isn't the point really. When you're looking for romance, feeling feminine and sexy is more specific than feeling great.
I feel "great" around my friends and others that I have no romantic intentions towards. The turn-on of being around someone I find extremely masculine is different. While it is indeed a "good" feeling, great does not describe it at all. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 7:50:22 AM | | romance, feeling feminine and sexy = components of feeling "Great" --so I stand behind my statement. (posed as a rhetorical question) --or is there something else I am missing? | |

I do not know any woman who goes for sissy boys. Is it safe to say all women are attracted to masculinity? Further, aren't most men masculine? | |

your statement holds much truth. Many men who are short tend to overcompensate , yet taller men do the same thing sometimes. and develop aggressiveness ...big people are more gentle are usually more confident and dangerous if messed with, this is because they have nothing to "prove"...true, yet there are those bigger people who are bullies and they are compensating for something else lacking...still some taller men that suffer self esteem troubles will use their brawn to cover up whatever is lacking.
To be able to read people is a huge advantage and there is usually more than meets the eye so it helps to learn to read. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 11:45:10 AM | | all men are DEFINITELY not masculine... & some men are overly aggressive... like they're compensating... so that's not an attractive form of masculinity to me. | |
