Is height important guys?
Posted: 5/25/2007 5:29:13 AM
I am 5'10", quite tall for a woman I suppose. I have a fairly small fram though, so am not a giant or anything!! I have met a lot of good looking guys that are shorter than me or the same height, but shorter if I am in heels! Does this bother men?

It doesn't bother me, but I see a lot of tall women on here (5'10" +) who specifically say they want a tall guy (over 6'), so I don't even bother talking to them...so I never get the chance to go out with them.

Hmm, I like you're height!

If you didn't wear heals taller than 2" I think it would be ok...

I can't imagine having to look up to kiss a woman!

Not sure how much it would really bother me though...

Well, being 6' 3" I can say that height has never been a problem for me!

Men who are say and inch or so shorter than me are no problem for me, but I do like high heels lol!! I just wonder if the reason things don't always go further is because I am taller!!

Men have the same preferences as women do, even in regards to height.
Personally the only height preference for me, would be if the gal is say six foot two inches and taller... that would be a bit too tall.

The following taken from your profile is more likely the issue:

I have a beautiful son who is the light of my life, comes first before anything - he is a real sweetheart!

I'd suggest removing this from your profile, though mention you do have children.
Imagine, you looking at men's profiles. They say they have children... they love them and spend lots of time with them...etc..etc... Any woman will bypass profiles such as these. I even think there was a thread about this exact topic.

Look, you love your child, dont make if martyrdom.

Thamks for your advice, but I wasn't asking for a profile review. I am being myself, I do love my son, and I am certainly not making it martyrdom - do you even know what that word means!?!?! - ANY mothers child comes first, that is part of my life and so i put it in my profile. Any man that bypassed my profile because of that is not the man for me anyway

Its not a profile review, you asked why you are having problems. I provided an answer. Commenting on your height in itself is a profile review...

Facial beauty counts for more than body type, size or height (unless you are obese then a beautiful face won't cut it). So if he likes your face he won't care if you are taller.

Tall, short, it's what's inside that counts.

Admittedly, the taller they are... the less I have to bend down to kiss them.

Size ALWAYS matters..........in most things and most ways.......and do not let anyone fool you otherwise........

It becomes the symmetry of that size and how it fits with your size, and personal preferences, that matters in the end.....thus we have tall threads, small threads, fat threads, skinny threads, hair threads, no hair threads, boob threads, no boob threads....on and on.....

Just my opinion......

Your height is just the right height I like. I much prefer taller women over shorter women.

5'10 wouldn't bother me at all. But then, I'm 6'0. It is not typical to see a guy who is shorter than the woman, so I think it might look a little odd and might make some guys who are shorter a little nervous.

But for me, I really don't care about height. The girl I'm dating is 5'3, and I'm cool with that. In fact, it's kind of nice to be dating a girl who is so petite.

^^ Exactly what I was gonna say.

Tarzan like 'um tall women.

Actually I think a lot of the shorter guys do feel this to be an issue. At least I knew one who had a big insecurity about it, mainly because of his own height. Ironically I would love a taller woman and I usually end up with average to short. I would love some one I don't have to bend down to kiss or put on the steps to kiss. Beyond that it isnt too much of an issue to me. Photogenically, two similarly sized people look better together but that's just face value.

very true......

I stopped caring about a week after my divorce

But in truth I do prefer petite.....but there is something cool about slow dancing with a woman who is about a foot taller than me...I cant quite figure it out though

OTB.......my friend.....you are sooooo goood.....

Some day I will have to try to find that 6'10" to 7' tall woman and try that slow dance since I am about 5'11" or more......"IN HEELS"......

In reality, it is all about symmetry and for you my dear friend, that is a preference for petite, and I understand that totally. I prefer those that do not tower over me as well, and yet I did not really enjoy dating those 5' and less.....felt more like I was holding hands with my child......

Horizontal it does even up for the most part, and if the chemistry is there for the two of you.......why the hell not?????....

Just my opinion......

I like my woman small 5'7 or smaller........

The average high for men is 5'9 so 5'7 and below just seems right...

Height doesn't bother me in the least. I'm 5'10" so I'm about average for height. Taller, shorter, its all good.

I like a short woman becaseu I like to look down on my woman. Considering you are tall maybe you could act dumb for me once in a while and that would give you the power over my stupid male thinking.

You have to work within your stature so to speak. Like a singles hitter that can not try and hit the long ball, for an analogy. Ok , me will 'splain. I am short for a guy[5-7]. I am ok with my height but I tend to date women shorter than me and there are plenty out there. For most part , women shorter than me have no problem with height , so I guess its in guys mind. I have no problem dating a taller woman but most time taller women do lol. Thats ok I understand and not judging women on that. People want what they want. I will say this I would rather be my ht than 6-4 or over and I am not kidding. Optimum ht though would be 5-10= 6-1 , but I am not complaining .

Most women who are taller than us wouldn't give us the time of day, but it doesn't intimidate me, and I would not disregard a woman who is taller than me if I like her and think we get along. For some men, it might be a turn on. I can't speak for all men. If a woman is a tiny bit taller than me, I think it's quite all right:)
