Girls: would you consider dating a guy who's taller than 6'6"?
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2393/13/33
Eh. I don't know. It'd be very awkward. I guess I would if we really, Really, REALLY liked each other. I'm 4'11 and he would just have the hardest time trying to just kiss me. Lol I don't know. I guess maybe yea if I really liked him and he really liked me.
So what height wouldn't be too tall?
Remember that I'm really short lol (4'11) so this affects my answer. Tall to me is over 5'8. Really tall is over 6'1. Too tall is maybe 6'7.
Actually a guy who was 6'5 had a huge crush on me. I felt like he skyscraped over me lol I don't know. I guess that's really tall, but not "too tall" yet.
How tall is Shaq? Cuz he makes The Rock look short. So I guess as tall as Shaq is too damn tall for me lol I'd be intimidated for sure.
Intimidated? Why? Do you believe taller guys are really more likely to harm you?
No it's not that. I don't know. I'd just feel very awkward around them.
I've always believed that this is what has kept shorter girls away from me.
How tall are you?
I'm 6'8"
Oh wow! :o
That is a bit intimidating. I'm sorry to say that.
I don't know if this applies to you, but it seems like taller guys like petite women. A majority of guys who ask me out are taller than 6'0. I've only had 2 bfs. One is 6'1 the other was 6'0. And they said they really liked petite women. I always wondered about that. I know you probably don't wanna hear this, but wouldn't it be better for you to go for taller women? I know tall ladies sometimes get a little bothered when a short chick dates a tall guy cuz we're "stealing their men" or something.
No, tall women usually don't seem interested in much taller guys. Seriously, look around at who tall women date. They're usually guys who are only a few inches taller than they are.
And yes, I do like small women. Why do y'all dislike us so much? Awkwardness? That's in the eye of the beholder. We like who we like. I haven't set out to target petite girls, nor do I exclude tall girls. But tall, attractive girls are really rare. Many of them are models, and highly, highly sought after. Attractive girls 5'8" and over are like 1 in 10000. So most girls any guy will crush on will be shorter than that. I'm not different than other guys just because I'm tall. I like girls, and hate that I get excluded for being tall. The irony is that people say that girls like tall guys lol.
Really? I figured they would prefer a taller guy cuz wearing heels, they'd still be shorter than their mate.
I never said I dislike tall guys lol I told you both my exes were tall. It's just that I'd feel really bad. Like I don't want the dude cranking his neck just to kiss me or something haha.
Yeah, I know it'd be a physical mismatch to be with a small girl, but i can't help it, I love them. The girl I'm crushing on now is 5'1". She's very hot and sweet.
No, tall women date guys who aren't all that tall. Look at supermodels. They're with guys who are around 6' tall. I don't get it, but it seems to be true. Maybe its just that most girls prefer more normally proportioned
I see. I guess even when you're tall you can't help if you're attracted to petite women. Nothing wrong with that. :)
I don't know about other short ladies, but that height is a bit intimidating.
Good luck with that girl, she might not have a problem with (maybe even really like) your height :)
Thanks, but I still don't get the intimidation thing. All I can think is that y'all think we're out to harm you, which makes me sad.
I guess if it came down to the point if I needed to get out of harm's way, I'd have a much harder time with someone of such stature. This applies to men and women. It's not that I think all tall guys wanna harm me, but I am just a paranoid person as is. I don't really trust men or women (so no, I'm not some man hater), and honestly I guess I now instinctively look at them and see how much trouble I'd be in like if they chose to attack me.
I apologize, but I've been attacked by gangs, and had drunk pervs chase me at night, so I never keep me guard down.
I understand. Girls are targets for abuse and assault, especially those that are young and hot. A female friend has even warned me about gaining muscle because she thinks it will make me less approachable. I catch girls looking in the gym, but they look away if I try to make eye contact. The times I've approached girls they've seemed a bit scared.
If you get too bulky, yea. I'd be a bit intimidated. But you seem like a sweet guy. I'd probably date you even with the height difference. When guys approach me, tall or short, it's not like I flinch lol Well, it depends where. If some stranger approached me when I was walking past an alley, yea, I'd walk the other way. But if it were like in a store or library or school, I'd be more open to chat. :)
@Lionseye Thanks for encouragement. I'll say this: guys think it's always better to be taller, but not necessarily so. There are guys at my college who are in the 5'9" range who are far more successful with girls than me, so there's no magic formula.
I'm 5feet2 my bf is 6feet4 so I'm sure there are plenty on girls that would girls like tall guys

No, I couldn't date you, because I couldn't have kids with you. You're too much larger than me and our child would cause a lot of damage. A less wiser me would date you, I've dated guys taller than you many times, but you need a taller woman. Someone that matches your frame.
She gave an interview of how pregnancy ruined her body. Her husband is 6'6" and she 5'1".
i.dailymail.co.uk/.../...mage-36_1416333074133.jpg
You've dated guys who are over 6'8" many times? Seems unlikely. For what it's worth, there's not a woman alive who "matches my frame" this side of Brittany Griner, and she's gay.
I hate to tell you this, but pregnancy "ruins" every woman's body regardless of the height of the father.
Not when you are carrying a giants kid and you're petite. That is a different story of ruin, F- that. Also yes, I have date quite a few guys over 6'6" One of my ex's was 7'2". I don't mean being the same height. I doubt you'll find a woman that is your height, but you finding a tall girl (5'10") and up wouldn't be a problem. Whatever girl you find, it is her choice, I am just telling you I wouldn't to carry the child of a guy that is significantly larger than me.
You say you dated a lot of freakishly tall guys, but at the same time you're saying you wouldn't date a freakishly tall guy. I don't get it.
Do you really believe that really tall guys father 20-lb children? I think it's lame to say that a really tall guy should be limited to dating only really tall women--who are exceedingly rare, at that. The number of women who are 5'10" and over is like one tenth of 1%.
Dude, your comprehension skills are really bumming me out._.
- "A less wiser me would date you" obviously, I dated extremely tall guys in the past, but have wised up about it.
- "I've dated guys taller than you many times" Past tense, read first quote again.
- "you need a taller woman" What do you think a taller woman is? There are plenty of tall chicks that do not fall in the lines of petite women, I know that for a fact.
- "Not when you are carrying a giants kid and you're petite. That is a different story of ruin." I need to think about the length of the kid and the weight. You aren't the one that is having the kid so I don't expect you to understand.
- "I doubt you'll find a woman that is your height, but you finding a tall girl (5'10") and up wouldn't be a problem." 5'10" hell even 5'7" would be better than my pint sized body.
- "Whatever girl you find, it is her choice, I am just telling you I wouldn't to carry the child of a guy that is significantly larger than me."
Uh, don't impugn my comprehension skills when you clearly contradicted yourself in your own opinion. You're the genius who believes that men over 6'6" tall father giant babies that puff women up like earthballs.
I'm not hurt, just offended that you're on my posting spreading nonsense like "really tall men father massive freak babies that destroy women's lives." A lot of girls believe crap like this, and they shy away from dating guys like me because of it. It's hard enough to be so different from everybody else without people purporting fables that are meant to reinforce the freakdom of people like me. Thanks.
See look, there are your insecurities. I never called you anything even remotely similar to the word freak. I said you are too big and your off spring are more likely to be too big for my body, but look how distorted your words are compared to mine. You have damned yourself several times, and over exaggerated. These are not fables, it has been proven. Any logical thinking person knows that if the mom or dad is tall the off spring will be long, sometimes heavier. That's like saying a boston terrier could give birth to golden retriever's and be okay. No, the boston terrier will be in danger of losing it's life. Your hurt, but that isn't going to change the fact that I'd rather protect my health as much as possible. Like I said, sorry. You are over a foot taller than me, but that doesn't mean you're a freak. I'm a fire breather, freak shows are my passion... I know freaks. Unless you are nearing 8 feet, you have no right to call yourself a freak in reference to height.
Nonsense! It has been proven that parental height has no correlation to baby length! When I get to my desktop pc in the morning I will post a link to the article to refute this nonsense once and for all.
*paternal height
Go away. Go spread bigoted nonsense on someone else's posting.
No, I'm a girl who gave you an honest opinion, told you not to call yourself a freak, and that is going to go live on in the piece of her life :) Like I said, this will stick to you way more, no matter what you try to say. It's already in grained in you to feel awkward in the "norms" of society, because of your height. I don't really care what you say. But you care about girls not wanting to date tall guys.

"The association of maternal height with pregnancy length could not be explained by cardiovascular risk factors. Paternal height was neither associated with pregnancy length nor with the risk of pre- and post-term birth."
Now you can stop spreading your superstitious nonsense and go away. I love how you're capable of giving all the offense in the world, but the minute I throw it back at you, you run to the moderators and ask them to have the post removed.
How telling. When confronted with the facts, you still refuse to acknowledge that you're wrong.
i'm 5ft 6", you're a foot taller than me lol. I would, I don't know what it is but really tall guys turn me on, definitely attracted to the height
what about me i am 5ft 10... will be a perfect match
I'm 5ft. And I only dated guys 6ft & up I love really tall guys as long as they're healthy not emaciated ( my friend is that way he looks sick.. he's just unhealthy lol)
Do you assume that most really tall guys are unhealthy?
No not at all, I'm saying I don't like when tall guys are extremely thin to the point of looking unhealthy
Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying. I've worked hard to gain muscle because if you don't have some meat on you at my height, you just look like a telephone pole with arms lol. I was 190 pounds when I was 17, but I've worked up to 230 now.
Sounds good then you shouldn't worry just stay fit, every girl I know loves tall guys
Yeah, tall is usually considered good, but I've heard from some girls that I'm too tall. I asked this question because I was concerned that most girls feel my height is unattractive.
Well they're a minority don't worry
I know I could but... I'm small, my boyfriend is always way taller than me (5ft2 and 6ft2) so next to a 6ft6 guy, I would like a dwarf...
Would that be a dealbreaker?
I don't think that would be a deal breaker. I would definitely have to adapt thought. I've always liked tall men.
I mean, it would be pretty comical. SO for the humor factor, probably. :p
to give you a visual:
ryanseacrest.com/.../hayden.jpg
Dude there is 6'6'' and she's 5'1''
PLUS she's wearing heels there so she's a bit taller than her actual height in that photo.
What's so funny about this couple?
The height difference. Not like, bad funny. Just amusing funny.
I think she's hot, and I would love to have a beautiful, petite girl like that by my side.
I hate that girls seem to find this funny. It's like tall guys are more novelties than real guys who girls take seriously. No one likes being seen as a freak show, whether they're very tall or very short.
I would date a tall guy :) I rather like tall men. my boo is 6'3 ^.^
5'8" is tall for a girl. Would you date someone who's 6'8".
That's awesome. I rarely find tall women who like ultra tall guys.
Yes, having a taller guy isn't going to be a deal breaker for me :)
I would.. I'm 5'2"
But does having a giant kid really ruin a girls body? :S I didn't know that before..
No, it doesn't, at least no more so than having any other guy's kid.
Nahh. I dont even liking dating my guy. He's 6'1. Id rather havr a short guy like me.
No because I don't he to break his own back while doings simple things
Sure, if I was single I would. I'm 6'1".
Really? I hardly ever see really tall girls with really tall guys.
I think it's just not as noticeable because the height difference is smaller.
Absolutely yes for me. Taller is better
Yes, I wouldn't care :)
Height doesn't matter ! I would.
I've dated guys between 5'7 to 6'7. I'm 5'7.
Did you want to date the really tall guy, or did you date him in spite of his height?
I liked him.
So you're actually attracted to guys who are much taller than average?
I'm attracted to all sorts of guys.
Is that a yes lol
Not all of them, but some.
lol Obviously no one is going to be attracted to all guys just based on height. I'm just curious if girls are *open* to dating guys who are like 6'8".
I wouldn't mind.
No I'm like 5"2
What's wrong with being 5'2"?
That really sucks, cause most of the girls I've ever liked have been between 5'0" and 5'5".
