So I've revised my list of what women want accordingly:
1. Height
2. Good face
3. Nice body
4. Money
5. Social status
6. Personality (coming in dead last)
Am I not wrong?
Dude you've totally missed it... you've got it right but the list is wrong.
What I mean is that personality does come first and you've proved the point in your post.
What are women attracted to personality wise? Confidence, optimism, funny, fun and so on.
Now you say that you get the chicks when you go talk to a girl and she notices your face, WRONG, she doesn't notice your face (first) she notices that you have the BALLS to walk up to her, even though your 'physically challenged'. If you had a nice face and you walked up to her like a p**** (signs of nervousness, awkward tension) then nothing is going to work, even your so called 'good face' (gosh, I hope there's more to you than your face)
You can get girls with that face, but later that face is going to age and wrinkle, then what are you going to do? You've rely on your face for your confidence to approach women, but that means when you lose it, you're going to lose all that confidence.
Personality is what women rate to be most attractive even if they don't know it. It doesn't matter how he looks, if he can make her feel special and good about herself nobody else can, nothing else will matter.
Now I don't disregard looks totally, I agree it's on the list. It's just not first, maybe second.. or somewhere down the bottom.
Buddy, I don't want you to go through life thinking looks is top matter, if you concentrate on looks, your height is only going to hinder you if your think it does. If you don't take time to master your emotions, your mind, self beliefs. You'll see the world only through your eyes and you'll feel nothing, nothing meaningful, no deeper meanings.
Not too long ago I was just like you, I had all sorts of physical features I wasn't entirely happy about. And so I spent most of my time unhappy and working on my appearance. I had enough and realized that it wasn't my appearance that was the problem, it was me. I got my internal issues sorted out and I was even more dedicated to changing how I thought of myself.
My life has never been better. - "Your world is only the projection of your mind"
Very nice answer. Thank you.
So true. You should listen to this dude...
Yes, you are exactly right. Our perceptions about the world often turn into self-fulfilling prophecies. And, yes, I have met many men who I found attractive but they were not handsome and/or tall. What they had was confidence. They were able to talk to me easily, were not intimidated by me and had a quick wit. That combo will always get me weak in the knees.
Your all welcome, man.. I should start charging for this, haha
Best answer here!
I think there may be some truth in the original post about most women not noticing the shorter guys as much as taller but then noticing doesn't mean "falling in love with"!
I'm 5'3" but had brothers that are all 6' or better. Height didn't mean anything to me. In fact, I didn't care for the "bean pole" look as it reminded me of my brothers. LOL
I married and am madly in love with my 5'7 hubby who's built like a tank and has a wonderful personality and pretty blue eyes. :-)
This is great, thanks for all the recommendations to my answer guys. Much appreciated.
However, having a quick look at the demographic, I notice that most of the women who said my answer was great were older women. Is there something here? Does the list start to change as the woman gets older? Why so.. hmm what's going on here.
Awesome. nailed it!
Well done champ. I was going to say the exact same thing only now I don't have to.
optimistic- but the height crap not mattering is bs, sorry...
I mean no one wants to be that bitch to say it, but I have to because I'm assuming you're looking for the truth, and every girl doesn't WANT height to matter but it does. even if we try to pretend like it doesn't and chat up short guys, we (most girls) are just lying to ourselves
Have any of you girls ever seen a movie with Dustin Hoffman? Hoffman is is drag and Lange is spewing all this crap about how she'd love a guy to just be honest and say a certain few words to her and she would go weak at the knees. So Hoffman, out of drag, gets his opportunity and says the exact words Lange wants to hear. What does Lange do? She gets p*ssed and throws her drink in his face.
What is the moral of my answer? Girls say one thing and do the exact opposite. All these girls here, for this question, are saying, "Oh, that's not true! A guy's height is not so important. It's confidence and personality that matters." Yet unless they're (the girls) are breaking their necks looking up, trying to keep the sun out of their eyes, there just isn't any, at all, interest in a guy. Some girls, though, have the estrogen to go out with and love a shorter guy than them so I can't stereotype. It's the general rule though, that unless the's 5'9' or 10 feet tall, he just doesn't register on the richter scale to a girl.
Very true. I think height even subconsciously affects how attractive a girl perceives a guy. A guy can have a face and be 5'8 feet tall, and if someone could take that face and make the guy 6'1 I'm completely sure the girl would rate his face a couple points more attractive. Whereas being extremely short at 5'8, he gets docked a few points.
Are you serious?! LOL! That is too funny! The majority of women will pick personality over looks(height include) any day! Just look around you. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a gorgeous woman with a man who was less then attractive or in some cases, down right fugly without a dime to their name, I'd have more money then Bill Gates.
You've said a few times in some of the women's posts that you are a good looking guy but you aren't even considered because of your height. Did it ever occur to you that women want nothing to do with you because of your personality? Just read all of your comments and you'll see that you are a very angry, bitter person and no one in their right mind wants to be with someone like that no matter how good looking or how tall they are.
Also, if you're complaining about some of these things that you claim women want so much, how do you explain what men want in women? Most men won't even take a woman's personality into consideration unless she has every single thing he wants on the outside. Let me guess? That's acceptable? I don't think so.
Like it or not my dear, personality is the first thing women look for in a man and my family is living proof of that. Both the women and men in my family are short. The tallest man is probably 5'8" and they never had any problems in this department so my suggestion to you is to work on your personality because that's what your main problem is.
I have never seen a gorgeous girl with an unattractive guy. Except for once, maybe. I think you girls are clueless on what a gorgeous girl is. I have seen girls say another girl is pretty and in truth she is extremely plain or ugly.
I have many times as have many other women seen this as well. If you think women are "clueless" as to what gorgeous is in another woman then men are obviously in the same ballpark. So many men stick to the typical crap of what the media portrays as "gorgeous" when in fact, many of those women look rough or in some cases, masculine. There are many women out there who are very beautiful but because they don't fit into what the media considers beautiful, men disregard them.
The woman you claim that was plain or ugly in your comment was most likely quite pretty but I can tell from how you speak in your posts that you are one of those shallow men who are incapable of seeing real beauty. If she isn't classified as beautiful according to what the media says then she's obviously ugly, right? That's what men are notorious for. You selected The-All-Star's posts as the best but did you even read it? Men of your age can learn a lot from what he said.
I have found the exact opposite. Most of the girls that other girls think are "pretty" are actually masculine looking. The girls that many girls complain of being ugly (megan fox), (katey parey), are actually more feminine looking and gorgeous. Sometimes I think the entire female brain just doesn't work right. Would explain why girls think ugly girls are pretty and how a hot ass guy such as myself gets no attention from women.
I don't care much for Megan Fox because she looks like an Angelina Jolie wannabe and that's pathetic. Katey Perry on the other hand is very beautiful and she has the best looking skin I've ever seen. My guess as to why you don't have a woman is because you're conceited and take it from me, NO woman likes that quality in a man...
You see, conceited people are actually extremely insecure about themselves but they just don't want to admit it so they are always boasting about their looks that they may or may not have and they need constant praise from others in order to get that ego boost. What they basically do is pretend to be someone they are not because they don't like themselves. Work on what's inside rather then what's on the outside. Read the last two paragraphs of The-All-Star's post for a better understanding.
height,body,personality,A job.
I don't want his money I just want someone at least has a life,not a lazy guy.
My friend of 4 years who is a guy 21y.o and has only little things but lots of girls are in love with him
1-THE nicest personality 2- height. 3- an amazing green eyes 4- great body 5- a job " not a millionaire " very normal guy.
LOts of girls like him waaay so much because he is a very understanding person.very serious person,honest,direct,What I say about him won't be a real description.
What I hate about him is " he goes to bars,drinks,That's the only bad things about him".
You guys can't understand the real things that most girls want.
We don't want money,if we liked someone then we like him,it doesn't matter how he height or however he looks like,the important thing is that we like him with his bad and good things.
And you always complain about us running after looks and other stuff.
WELL!
You too run after the same things looks,body,hair,eyes,face,skin.
Well we both are similar,aren't we?Oo
Personally, most of the more attractive men are shorter. Don't believe me, check the heights of male celebs. I'm 5'7 1/2, my exhusand is 5'5". (Great things can come in small packages.) Most of the men I've dated were "short" in that they were below 6'1". I asked my ex once about my height and his response was "we're the same height between the sheets". I agreed. :-) However, it is worth noting that there are plenty of men who are very insecure about dating taller women. So, even if a woman is open to dating shorter men, she can't be sure of how the height difference would make him feel. Even if they're not intending to be mean, men can make comments about "bigness" which make a woman feel insecure.
For me, personality is number one. And honestly, THESE DAY, height/weight is number 3. I have to admit that I do enjoy laying my head on an ample chest. It's hard to go from a large chested man, to a guy who's chest makes your head feel HUGE. But, if I met Mr. Right, and he happened to be my height, I wouldn't hold it against him.

I'd like to contribute something here as well, but The-All-Star dude said it all. :)
Seriously, if you walk up to a girl thinking that you are bad looking, short and other negative thoughts, then you'll most surely will get blown out.
There's nothing more attractive to girls than when you walk up with confidence and don't care about what others might think.
My one advice for you would be to simply not even think about your looks. If you're funny and interesting, then girsl will have more than a reason sufficient to talk to you and be attracted.
All girls know that someday that good look on her face will disappear, that's why when different guys compliment her on her looks, are still blown away.(or if she acts polite and says thanks, that guy still doesn't stand a chance, unless he changes his game)
Women doesn't strive to find someone necessarily good looking, they want someone who understands them and make her feel positive emotions.
If you want to step forward, then you should clear your negative emotions. Simply, whenever you feel one, just try thinking that that isn't a part of you, that you want to change and finally try covering it up with good ones. Concentrate more on the good things, I'm sure there's plenty of interesting things about you. :)
And lastly, if you still feel insecure and don't know how to change, here's a link about a guy's blog a friend provided me, he's short and fat, but still manages to get the hottest girls.

General appearance comes first, because let's admit that you can't tell someones personality when you see them for the first time. However, this is not the final say; because I have had men I thought were gorgeous who became quite ugly to me in a short period of time, as well as guys who I thought were unattractive, became very attractive because of their personality. Good looks are always a help, but my girlfriend and I find that what she finds attractive I find repulsive, and vise versa. I personally don't like tall men, it is too awkward kissing, hugging, as well as sex. I like to be face to face with my guy. I am 5'7" and I have dated shorter as well as up to 6 feet. But I prefer a guy that is between 5'7" and 5'10". Personality will win out over most physical characteristics; however whatever it is that makes one person attracted to another (chemistry) is either there or not. I've had experiences with really handsome nice guys who I have had no chemistry with at all...thought they were gorgeous, liked them, they were sweet/funny...but they might as well have been my brother. On the other hand I've had guys that look like gorillas and I have found an intense physical attraction to them. I don't know why...but it's true! So, I think the list should go like this:
general attractiveness (to the person)
personality
physical health
social status
money
height
If you are really worried about height dude, you are really over analyzing girls... The only girls I've seem to notice that care about height are taller girls. Now unless you want a girl who is 6 1 or 6 2, then you can be worried... but for the average height girl I am pretty sure they really don't care THAT much. The only reason that a little taller is a good thing is that it makes the girls feel smaller, and feel more secure. But if you are a tough dude, or w/e they won't care.
It just makes me less noticeable when I am about the same height as them or even shorter. I don't stick out in a crowd of people. Which I guess could be a good thing (who wants girls fighting over you anyway?).
I agree with cavs girls don't care.
Yea I mean it might make you less noticeable if you are just standing around hoping they see you and start a conversation... there are SOOOO many other factors in the whole talking to girls thing, that you aren't taking into an account. A pretty face isn't gonna get girls to come talk to you, neither is height, you gotta have the swag and the confidence to go up spit your game.
The kinda cockiness you need is like you have at the end... just don't worry about the height.
and gothic... thanks
I don't give a sh*t about money. I won't date a guy with a lot of money because I grew up in a house that was falling apart and there for I know I can live without a lot of money. Just enough for the things I really need (not want). Now though I live in a better house and I want to send as much money as I can to the people that don't have a home and things like that. For me the only things that matter is 1) a guys personality 2) a guy that's not over weight.
Whats the list for guys?
1) Boobs?
2) Ass?
3) Face?
4) Body?
5) Money?
6) Personality? Social Status?
I'm not being sexist it's a question. You made one for the chicks so I half ass made one for the guys lol. But their all questions
True
From a guys point of view I wouldn't know. I'm friends with a lot of guys that look at the chicks ass boob and their body befor they get to know them
you are VERY wrong! I admit, I have always loved taller guys until I dated a guy the same height as me 5'7.. Then I grew to be okay with it because I loved him. Then to say we got divorced and I met this guy that is "OMG the sexiest guy I have ever seen in my life!" and he is about 5'5 to 5'6 so yeah he is like the f***ing sexiest guy I have ever seen regardless of his height! that is the least of my concerns! The things I love about him in order...
1.Nice Body
2.Good Face
3.Personality
4.Social Status
5.Money
6.Height
P.s. I have learned with this guy "It is way easier to f*** a guy a few inches shorter standing up and it don't hurt your legs so bad in a cramping way! ha ha :) (too much info right?) that was just another plus tho! )
THANK YOU! I Agree 100% and it is so messed up. I see some of the biggest losers with the best girls just because theyre tall.
I read the best answer, and I think maybe that only goes into effect when were talking about the late 20's+. I have the same age group as the author and I can think of evidence to support his entire list. YOUNGER GIRLS ARE SUPERFICIAL!
Thank you.
Your list is wrong, at least for me. But you have a point, height IS somewhat important. It's not a huge factor, but I probably wouldn't be attracted to a guy significantly shorter than me (I'm 5'4", so no one less than 5'3" or so). But it's not like I care much about their height. Also, personality is definitely NOT last. Here's my list:
1. Personality
2. Good face
3. Nice body (I actually don't care much, as long as they're not overly muscular or obese)
4. Height (I consider this kind of part of having a nice body, but as long as they're my height or taller it's all good)
5. Social status
6. Money
But 5'7" doesn't seem that short anyway...
I'm 5'5". I like for a guy to be taller than me. I would say 5'7" at the shortest. But I honestly do NOT like it when guys are too tall! 6' is my absolute cap, and my ideal height on a guy is 5'10". I just hate having to crane my neck to look at him.
I like a guy to have nice eyes and hair and a nice body. But if his personality isn't all that, I won't be interested to begin with.
I'm not sure what you mean by social status. I'm an introvert so it's not like I look for some uber popular guy who's a social butterfly or anything.
I don't want a broke ass scrub guy, but I find I can't relate to most people who are really into business, entrepreneurship, or making lots of money. It's way more important to me that a guy does something he enjoys and can pay his bills.
Anyways, that's just me, and I don't claim to be typical but there's my two cents.
No. This is totally wrong. I'm 5'10 and so the only problem I'd have with dating a shorter guy would be being scared that he'll feel uncomfortable always having to look up and me if I'm standing up, and also kissing might be a little awkward if we're standing up, but I'd get over it. Sometimes a taller guy catches my eye quicker because I don't live my life staring downwards, but whatever.
My version of your list :
1. Personality
2. Face / Body
3. Height
4. Social Status or Money because I don't care about either.
the fact that you seem to have an overall impression of girls being completely shallow probably doesn't play too much into your favor either. that being said, I'll admit I like tall guys, but it's in no way a deal breaker. and being 5' nothing, it's doesn't take much for a guy to be tall for me, your 5'6 is already plently tall. though from what you said about putting yourself out there and, "chaching?" I really don't see why you'd care. there's a lot of bitterness in your observation for someone who doesn't have a problem scoring.
I'm not even 5'6 when I wear my highest heels :P personally I think shorter guys go with shorter girls other wise it just seems weird I suppose for me it goes:
1. Face
2. Personality
3. Not being overweight
4. height doesn't really matter because pretty much all guys are taller then me I'm 5'1
Once I get to know a guy and he has a really good personality he will become more attractive to me but to be honest I am more inclined to want to get to know a guy with a good face, but as for the money thing I never really got that if you like someone you like them no matter what kind of money they make.
I'm 5 foot & don't like to date men shorter than me, though I would if I felt a connection. However, I there is no guy shorter than me, so I never run into this issue. For me, men can be too tall. I once got set up on a blind date with a guy who was 6'11. I felt so short next to him, & I found it a turn off. I prefer to date guys between the height of: 5'4 - 6'3. As far as what you think is important to women, let me tell you the real list.
1) RESPECT
2) Personality
3) Confidence
4) Looks
We don't all feel this way, but if a guy has these, I'll go for him. And before you say anything about #4, know all women have their own taste, & consider different men good looking. I'm not looking for Brad Pitt, I'm looking for the all-american-boy look. Glasses are a plus in my book too :)
1. Character (Respect, Trust, Honor)
2. Social Status
3. Personality
4. Nice body (Athletic and active, after all)
5. Good face
6. Height
7. Money
Character is what makes or breaks any relationship. Social status means one is comfortable, confident, outgoing. Personality is similar interests. Nice body looks good and allows one to be active and competitive. Face... most people's face are fine, its important as well. Height - I wouldn't mind a bit to be 5'7". It would be nice to be at or slightly above a girls eye level. Money is irrelevant. It doesn't make one happy, learn to manage your finance, be happy buying nice things and take care of them and a family with a few children can live off a teacher's salary.
Girls will be attracted to a tall manly attractive guy, but those relationships probably won't last long if she's only attracted to your body. The better alternative is to be kind and caring to the girl you love. Yes, it will be harder to form a relationship than if you were a body-builder, but the relationship will be more meaningful than one based on looks. To communicate your love, just show her that you care about her day, or her new dress, or anything she talks about. If she rejects you flat out based on your height, she is probably a shallow person and should be avoided.
lol you are absolutely correct but your list is a little off. Re-arrange it and bam you're set.
But yes, I do agree to the fact that woman are attracted more to "taller" guys than "shorter" ones but then again not EVERY woman thinks that way.
In my opinion or why I would rather choose a taller guy rather than a shorter one is because I feel more protected when I'm with someone bigger and taller than me and that is what us woman want. To feel security and to be protected. Being with someone who is short kind of gives that awkward "you seem like a child" to me. I'm pretty short myself so anyone would be tall to me.
actually you are wrong, at least in my opinion.
now, I'm 5'9, so I'll admit height is VERY important because I'm self conscious about my height, so I want a guy taller than me.
but if the choice is between a guy 6'5 who's a complete jerk, and guy who's 5'10 and matches my personality exactly, the shorter one would win hands down.
and although the things you listed are factors and help the overall package of a potential date, body, money, and social status really don't matter (atleast not to me)
of course appearances matter, because there has to be physical attraction in a relationship, but personality matters a lot more.
I've never heard a guy (or girl) say that height was the thing girls looked for most in a guy. I'm tall and very few girls even mention it as why they're attracted to me. I think everyone sees one way they aren't blessed and imagines that it's more important than it is to whoever they're trying to attract.
1) Confidence
2) Confidence
3) Confidence
4) Confidence
5) Body
6) Face
7) Money
Don't forget this, either: if you have the personality, you win the girl over. Once a girl is won over, other things don't matter. When you're attracted to a girl's personality, you don't say "She's so fun to be around and she's goofy and she's smart (or whatever you like about her)...but she isn't tall enough." Once you win someone over, they can only really see what they like about you
ROFLMAO...never thought I'd be answering this one but I agree with you half way. I admit that I'm not really attracted to shorter guys...mostly because where I live the average height of a male is around 5'8" and I really and truly had a situation recently where I purposely did not get into a relationship because the guy was the same height as me 5'2''. it sounds a bit shallow considering but I can't help that I'm not attracted to short and by the way you aren't really that short...my first and longest relationship was with a guy your height.
Finally my version of your list:
1. Height (it's a little sad but true...its important)
2. Personality
3. Healthy Body (a nice body could be ridden with disease)
4. Good Face
5. Money (for those of us females who intend to make our own)
6. Social Status
I think 5'6 is rather tall. Anyway, I don't really care about height. The guy could be shorter than me and if he is a nice guy I would be happy to date him. I'm a little under 5'2 though so I don't see many guys shorter than me. I do tend to like guys shorter than 5'9 or 5'8 because if they are too tall I feel like a midget or a little kid. But then again I have occasionally liked taller guys. I also don't care about money. If a guy works it shows responsibility, so I like it if they work or are at least in college. As long as he is doing something, even better if he enjoys it, with his life, I'm alright if he doesn't have much money. Social status is not an issue at all. If a guy has a good face and a nice body to one girl, others may not agree. It just depends. Personality is extremely important to me which is why I don't even think about dating a guy until I get to know him over many months maybe even a year or two.
That seems... pretty accurate.
You know what bugs me? How girls say "he must taller than me when I'm wearing high heels." It's almost as if they think wearing high heels is their true height. Example... a girl who's 5'3" who won't date a 5'7" guy because he's not taller than her when she wears 4" heels. Give us guys a freaking break. Any podiatrist will tell you that high heels are bad for your health anyway. God, I hate high heels. >_>
you are quite wrong! My last relationship was with a man who is 5'8". I didn't even notice his height as much as his smile. He was slighly overweight, worked in a homeless shelter so I made more money than he did. He didn't have a high social status... But his personality was what truly caught my interest. He is still one of my losest friends and one of the few people who make me laugh so easily. I loved that he was only a few inches taller than me, as I'm 5'3". I think it depends a lot on a girl and how she was raised, as to what she will go for. Really tall guys intimidate me, I prefer shorter guys.
it really depends a lot on a girl, and how
Guys always say that girls shouldn't peg them all as one. So why are you saying that all girls have that list in that order? These things matter to me, and they are equally important...
1. I am a Christian, therefore I will date and marry a Christian. I want to share the same faith.
2. Personality, I personally go for really manly men.
3. Muscular body, or at least not scrawny, I don't find that attractive at all.
4. 5'9" tall, so I can still wear my four-inch heels and be an inch shorter than him
5. Deep voice
Social status and money don't really mean much to me. I don't care if a guy has the best looking face, as long as I like his eyes.
Have you ever considered that maybe the girls you go for are pretty shallow? Perhaps this is your list:
1. Body
2. Face
3. Personality (coming in dead last)
Am I not wrong?
I kind of disagree. I mean, height matters, don't get me wrong.. But if a guy is really tall with an ugly face then I'm not going to look at him as much as the shorter guy with a good looking face. I'm tall for a girl (5'9") and I typically try to go for taller guys but as it turns out most guys I end up liking are shorter. The guy I'm talking to now is actually just my height.
Your list is way, way off. What I want based on that list:
1. Personality
2. Good face
3. Nice body
4. Height
5. Money
6. Social status
I think it is about right but it does weigh different.
I am not disagreeing with you.
I would say I would look at a guy and look for those qualities in that order (maybe, I'm not sure) but then I would weigh each one differently.
1. Height (20%)
2. Good face (10%)
3. Nice body (10%)
4. Money (15%)
5. Social Status (15%)
6. Personality (30%)
Now after weighing all of it, I would come down to the finalize decision of if he is a total of 70%-80% he gets a C, or a 2nd date.
80-90% he gets a third date...
90-100% he gets more than a third date and I will consider if he is a good fit for me. Etc.
I am 5'3 and I would NOT date a guy who is shorter than me, but I might talk to someone shorter than me but only as a friend. I am currently married to a guy who is 5'8-5'9ish
''I might talk to someone shorter than me but only as a friend''. You MIGHT?! You mean you actually have to decide whether you would taklk to someone shorter than you, even if they didn't want to date you? You not dating a shorter guy I can understand but you actually have to think twice about speaking to him?
Can't argue with you, the guy I currently have a crush on is really tall, but that isn't the only factor that drew me to him: his brains did (I am a zombie after all), and it doesn't hurt that his eyes are mesmerizing...
Though I have liked short guys before, this one guy was around my size or 5'6 5'5 but he was awesome! Again he was and is really smart, he knows how to dance and play instruments, plus he wasn't afraid to be in choir or Drama, and he is a real funny guy. And no he didn't have that much of a pretty face or great style but he cleaned up nice ;)
well I'll put it like this way, yes tall guys have an advantage..but I've liked short guys too. it probably won't be as easy for a short guy to just approach a woman he doesn't know like a tall guy could, but you guys are and can be attractive. if a short guy is good looking, in shape, dresses nice, and is confident and fun to be around he can increase his chances a lot. I've seen short guys (i'm talking less than 5'6!) with some beautiful girlfriends and had a lotta game so it can happen, just don't use it as a crutch and act like that's the reason why you can't get girls...yeah maybe you might have to work harder but guess what your not entitled to get a girl just because you want one
I don't know about that ...a guy who is 5'7" or around there - in other words, not friggen' tall like a giraffe ;) - is a lot easier to kiss, if you wanna "grab him and take him". Plus, didn't someone else here say having sex standing up was easier? Yeah, what TOXiCLOV3 and The-All-Star said. :-)
5'7 is short? I'm 5'7. I have dated guys who are 5'7. so maybe it's something about the girls around you ? I doubt height is the only factor. I've dated a guy who was slightly shorter.
I'm saying girls instinctively don't notice shorter good-looking guys as quickly as they notice tall good-looking guys. Height is like a homing beacon to females.
I've never heard of a girl saying height doesn't matter
Read all these answers below..... Half of them say height doesn't matter.
Yeah, I think the girls on here that say height doesn't matter are actually a very small minority. I do think I have a decent face, honestly. But girls don't really notice me too much and I'm pretty sure it's because of my height 5'6-5'7. Especially if you take into account most girls my age are about that height or even taller.
1. Personality.
2. Good face.
3. Nice body.
4. Height.
5. Social status.
6. Money.
That's for when I know a guy and am getting to know him.
For when I just see someone, personality can't really be included because I don't know him yet.
1. Good face.
2. Nice body.
3. Height.
4. Social status. (If he's alone, with friends, etc.)
That's a huge generalisation of girls don't you think?
Some may think that, but I don't give taller guys any more attention that I would someone my height. First thing I notice from across a room is their face.
I'm 5'4 and my boyfriend is 5'3. The height didn't bother me, it was the age. He's a year younger than me. But we got over it.
I also notice a personality right away. I used to go for looks but as I grew older I found that personality is more important. Now I seem to go for the nicer guys, rather than the hot ones.
You can't notice a face from accross the room. Cuss girls aren't looking at my face across the room and it's quite nice.
Well I did say it's what I notice, not you.
I do notice the looks first, not how how tall they are.
Who says height doesn't matter?
1.Nice body-Good face...tied
2.Personality
3.Height
Money and social status do not matter at my age.But later on in life,of course a woman doesn't want a broke ass man.
You seem very jaded and so do the rest of the morons on here.No wonder y'all have female problems
If what you say is true, then how do you explain me having a good face but short and girls don't really look much at me?
Maybe you aren't good looking.Alot of people claim to be good looking but aren't.
And I listed height as #3,so I never denied it not being important.I'm 5'3 but yes I care about height.I tend to like guys who are 6'0 and taller.5'10 and 5'11 is good too,but it isn't like I'm pulling out a tape to measure the guy
Nah.I take care of myself.Cosmetic and plastic surgery was invented.
I imagine you're one of the jaded individuals
sucks for you
No I'm definitely good-looking.
No wonder you're single,you don't know how to talk to women.Sucks for your lonely ass
And besides girls don't really check out hot guys to where they can see them doing it. So I'm guessing that could be it, too.
No,you can't get one.That's why you dislike women.Not my problem.:-) Have fun dying a virgin
Haha,not all of them are virgins but thank you.Some are just jaded
I think it depends on your age and where you are in your life.

i think you list is quite wrong, although your point is right for most girls. They like the tall handsome, fit boys. For me I am 5'8 and I would be perfectly happy with a boy who is 5'7 or 5'6.
my list would go like this.
1. PERSONALITY (which is a BIG thing for me)
2. Good face
3. Nice body( it really doesn't matter as long as they are aren't overly muscular or obese)
4. Height
5. Social Status
6. Money
Money and social status doesn't matter to me right now at my age, but in the future I would like to have a man who has a job at least.
Who said height doesn't matter? It's a biological thing, like how men tend to prefer hourglass figures.
And what's with the assumption that attraction follows a list? It's a package deal. If you can't stand someone's personality, you're not going to want to be in a relationship with them. If you aren't physically attracted to them, you won't want a relationship either. There has to be a balance.
Height...you're right about that. Tall guys are more cuddly, they have those big bear arms and give you huge bear hugs where you can get lost in. They engulf you with their body literally...which is comforting and adorable. And I simply feel safer with a bigger man next to me. And I don't like the sun so he keeps me in shade too... Haha =
That list is true. It's just in a different order.
You're right, being attractive is number 1.
But once you get into the relationship, personality is WAY more important.
Good looks help a lot, when you first start the relationship, but after a year or two, personality, compatibility and chemistry (including sexual) are the real factors of the relationship.
I think all of it ties together..
Girls want a guy with a height nice for theirs,not shorter,but not too much taller.(at least for me and most girls I know). Also,when I see a guy with money,I tie it to personality traits that usually correspond with money. And yeah,you need to look good.
for me since I am tall you're pretty much right..
height is my #1 priority since I'm super tall for a girl. then personality, I'm not too picky when it comes to faces as long as a guy is decent looking.. then body/build. I'm not big on money since that stuff doesn't really matter to me. so my ideal guy would be tall, cute face and a fun nice personality.
How tall are you
I agree and disagree. I'm 5'7 I hate my height, and yes girls will notice them first in the room and may come off more attractive at first hand, but that just means you got turn the charm on and go get her first. Look at the girls posts it's a 50/50 so take your chance you may win you may lose leave the duds for the tall guys.
You couldn't be more wrong.. I'm an insanely tall chick.. and I've liked guys as short as 5'3.. so rethink it and do not generalize every woman and who they notice.. that is what you possess so please don't make men feel terrible about something that will never change for them.
I think your wrong. I would rather date a shorter guy (I'm 4'11). I really can't understand personality being last, to me, it makes or breaks chemistry. Personally, personality would have to be first. I'd rather date an average guy with a great personality, than a hot guy who is dull.
height is important. but honestly. I'm 5'7'' so I want a guy 6 foot or taller.
but a guy 5'9'' id date. you're 5'7'' that's not too short. for a guy yes. but honestly. girls look at the face first.
heres how it goes for me:
1 face
2 personality
3 height
4 drives
5 has a steady job
Well, height is a factor when choosing girls too. I want a girl who's at least a little shorter than me but I have to admit... girls under 5'2 are sexier and girls under 5'0 are sexiest. I like a girl small enough to pick up and throw... not that I'd drop her on her head or anything. I'm 5'8 and strong/fit. Not quite ripped but I bench 260-275 and have a flat tummy.
personality doesn't come in dead last but I will admit , height is my first. that's what I look at or seem to notice more. I have never dated a guy under 6ft...just happens to be my prefrence or what I'm attracted to more I guess. I'm 5'2 and it makes me feel like he's big and strong when he's that much taller than my self...LOL
FOR ME:
Height
personality
good face
Money
nice body (body can be fixed)
social status(that can be fixed easily)
well I would say personality comes before nice body, money, and social status if I'm being completely honest, and social status comes before money. Height and a good face are important, but personality is definitely up there as well what's the use of having that good face if nothing good comes out of the mouth
Ha my game is so much better than a lot of guys who are 6' + and I'm 5'9''
I usually date girls that are my height or taller than me.
It's about the confidence, showing your best attributes, and putting your best foot forward.
Btw Body, Money, Social Status, and Personality are all things you can change. Your face has a lot to do with your hair style.
Seriously you're thinking about height way too much.
Hope this helps.
I think you're dead wrong about personality being last. I've seen even jobless guys still getting women here and there. I don't know how they do it, but they do. And it's probably personality. I do agree with you about height. It's one of the biggest things I hate about myself.
I'm 5'7". For me, height is very important. It's much harder for me to fall for a guy, regardless of his looks, if he's shorter than me. Or even the same height. I start by worrying if he actually is taller than me. If he's the same height, it's even more stressful. He could suddenly stop growing and I would be left with a midget boyfriend. Many girls don't have a preference, some even prefer shorter men, but I definetely prefer to have a taller boyfriend. It's comforting.
I should really disagree. Heigh is not the most important thing on a guy. I have fallen for short guys and it has never bothered me. I think my list would be:
1. Good face
2. Brain
3. Personality
4. Nice body
5. Social status
6. Money (though money doesn't really matter at my age, at least.)
I would say:
1. good body
2. good face
3. personality
4. social status
5. brain
6. money
am I right?
You're wrong, I'm 5'10 and my boyfriend is about your height. I think it bothered him more than it bothered me, but then he kept hearing that if a guy is with a woman who is taller than him people assume he must be rich or good in bed, not exactly bad things for people to think about you
It's funny you mention that. I met a guy in January, amazing guy no doubt , amazing personality, caring, VERY good looking, etc. BUT he is 5'4 .. and I'm 5'6 1/2. Not that big of a difference, I know, and I did try to get over it, but in the end, now it is something that I can't get used to. I didn't want to let height get in the way of us, but I just can't help it. I don't feel feminine enough around him because of the fact that I'm taller than him.
I would say it's social status first and foremost, at least when you're just walking up to a girl or meeting her for the first time. Whether that status comes from money, looks, personality is irrelevant - however I think after you get to know her it's more personality and what kind of future you have in store for you.
i like
1. height
6. personality
3. nice body
2. good face
5. social status
6. money
height does it for me every time it makes me notice the guy, I'll talk to him and judge as potential or friend, and a body appeals more to me than face but if his face looks like the bottom of my shoe of course I wouldn't bother cos what if we have babies my kids will be hideous rest I don't care about
hahaa, lies.
I don't want a guy shorter than me, but if he's my height or taller, it doesn't matter.
I don't think majority of girls go around saying I want a guy that's (this specific height) or were not talking, that's kind of ridiculous no?
unless the girl is 6 ft and she wants a 6 ft, its crazy for you to think that.
If she was really interested your height wouldn't matter.
&btw, I consider 5'6 tall.
I have to admit that I do have a problem dating guys shorter then me, I'm 5'5 and it just feels weird, the guy has to be at least my height.
Still, my list would be:
1. Personality
2. Height (probably equally important)
3. Good face
4. Nice body
5. Money/Social Status
There's no such thing as a 6 foot giant. Your list is off. Here is a correct one:
1) Money
2) Height
3) Status
4) Nice Body
5) Good face
6) Personality.
In my opinion many women do consider height very important. At least the girls I know do.
I don't though. ^^
I could care less about height. MAYBE 5'10 with shoes on and I am taller than 85% of the girls I run into or who like me. If they are my height, who cares, taller may be awkward but who cares. In the end run it's just height, some you CANNOT change so I have learned to live with it. If you like your height- GOOD. Fuck everyone who doesn't
You know, recently I found that a man who dresses well can compensate for height. It's how you emphasise yourself that matters. A tall person may attract a lot of attention, but so does a guy who dresses sharply. You may not be able to attract the blond bombshell but you'll probably steal a few glances from the average girl you meet.
