I really dislike memes about guy’s height. For one, they are quite misleading because they have the viewer assume that all girls want to date tall guys. However, this is not always true. Some girls even prefer to date guys who are under 6ft because they themselves are short. For example, I am 5’3-5’4 and I would be completely happy dating a guy that was under 6ft as long as he wasn’t my exact height or shorter than me. However, this is my preference and other girls may have a different view, but I think it really depends on the person and their preferences. Yes, there are girls out there who are my height who won’t date a guy that is under 6ft, but honestly they are just missing out if they are narrowing there dating preferences that much. I wish that height and weight didn’t matter in relationships, but they do for both males and females. The key is to find someone whose preferences are broad and who aren’t so picky when it comes to height.
lol Im about 5'6 or 5'7 I've never been self conscious about my height. Also keep in mind that Im always honest about my height nor do I take myself so serious that I can't joke around about it. I dont need to a super fly guy I just love enjoying life.
I'd like to say I don't have height requirements but that was only before my first boyfriend. Once I got into a relationship I realized I would prefer the guy to be at the very least as tall as I am. But I don't think it's a real dealbreaker if he's not. (Though funnily enough I've never gotten crushes on guys shorter than me. Maybe subconsciously it is a "requirement" for me.)
How tall are you?
Not really. To be honest, there aren't many concrete things I imagine when thinking of traits I like with men, but being taller than me is one (and I am 5'8). However, just because this is my first thought when it comes to this, doesn't mean I wouldn't date a guy who was my height or shorter. I don't care if you are 6'5 or 4'5 or anything. If I like you, that's all that matters.
I'm only 5.3 so height has never bothered me... but I have seen messages on here where people insist on certain height, but it seems to me it's like most things, people have preferences.
A lot of men would totally overlook someone of my height (mainly because I'm tiny ha) but that's because we have type, and we all do it... even subconsciously.
However statistically aren't men on average 5.10?
I personally don't think it's representative.
Height isn't a requirement for me, although I do like when people I date are taller then me (thats not hard to do tho bc most people are) although it really depends on their personality. I can't date someone without a sense of humor or someone who can hold an intellectual conversation.
Well I am 5'9", and I am no buff guy, I am athletic and in shape, but definitely not the big tall strong guy and although I am currently single, I never have a problem getting girls to talk to me. I think its more of the individual and their confidence, although there are probably some woman that strictly only date tall men. I do not think that this is all women though. What it comes down to is that everyone has a preference on what they like.
since im only 5'1 i prefer my men to be at least 5'8 and up
ideally 5'10 is perfect in my eyes
body wise i dont really care just dont be overtly skinny... same thing as being overtly fat
but i do prefer men with a slight teddybear cuddle apperance... like a little bit of a tummy on a man is perfect for me ^^
Jeez if you need your man to be 7 inche's taller than you when you're midget your self, you must have Walt Disney complex
@Mrwoo99 waltt disney complex? sorry never heard of that before
and i grew up in a family of predominantly tall people
also you can't help what your attracted too
also when i have kids i rather give them the chance to be tall then doomed to be short
Most girls with options strongly prefer tall guys, but there are always exceptions.
I personally am all about the face. I really can't imagine dating someone shorter than me but I'm only 5'5". As long as your taller than me it's cool.
Fat though, is a dealbreaker. Muscly or skinny, no preference. But I'd rather die alone than marry a fat guy
It all depends on the girl, I do not care about height, one time during work I had to go to the warehouse to give the manager some papers,
So I walked past this guy and he had black hair and blue eyes he was so cute and I think he was either the same height as me or maybe 2 or 3 inches taller. I'm 4'11 and I did not care that he was short.
Of course tall guys seem protective and strong but to be hobest when it comes down to an absolutely awesome guy, I wouldn't mind if he was shorter than me. Seriously, if he's alright, some girls should stop being so thick.
how can a skinny tall guy seem stronger than a muscular buff short guy i just dont get it
Neither do I but that's what most girls go for. I prefer the kind of chubby teddybear-like guys anyways.
You're only allowed to body shame men.
In fact I've heard (I don't use them) that some misandrus dating apps have litteraly put height filters!
They want men to put in height, but won't put women's weight on the app.
Even though I'm tall, I found this disturbing and Total sexist. If I still dated I'd completely block and report any profiles that shamed men for height.
Seems obvious to me girls generally don't like midgets unless they are desperate or have no standards. I'm 5'5" and still can't really blame them. If I were a girl I wouldn't want to date a guy shorter than me or even the same height either. No big deal, just stay single.
Yes, they do generally they don't date guys shorter than them but except that in my country we doesn't have this kind of things "Oh your shorter than 180 cm goodbye".
For me he should be at least 170 cm (5'7) and not taller than 2 m (6'7) maximum because after it look really ridiculous. if the girl is too short that's awkard, it's generally better to date around your height I think.
Many do, but it can be overcome if you're cool enough in her eyes. I have female friends who have literally turned guys down for that reason alone. Most girls just want you to be taller than them. Others want you taller than them in heels. But girls are flexible for the right guy. They just have their own superficial wants, just like guys do.
Everyone has a type.
Well, im only 5'2", i do prefer guys over 5'6" and my boyfriend now is 6', but really there aren't many guys below 5'6" so i don't really think of it as that much of a limitation but if you are shorter than that 5'6" i might struggle with it a little.
i think they want someone whol will look taller or their height when tehy wear heels and looks manly to them, i was once talking to this girl who is barely 5ft tall and iam 6'2 she said thats way too tall for her, but it didn't stop her from talking to me anyway.
Perhaps it's an evolutionary thing where they want to feel protected.
Or perhaps they think other body parts will be proportionate.
Either ways, people are entitled to their checklists even if it reduces their chances of finding love. A lot of people will eventually have to make trade-offs as it's unlikely they'll find anyone who meets all of their criteria.
Some do, I don't.
Some guys do too. I've had guys tell me they liked chicks who were shorter than me, and I'm only 5'7. And another guy who said he specifically preferred women precisely between 5'6-5'9.
People have all sorts of preferences. What's a deficit to one person will be nothing to another person and an attraction to yet another person.
5’7 is perfect! Anywhere from 5’5-5’9 is perfect!
I don't know man, in my country people generally are not tall. People over 6' are pretty rare. Generally when choosing a partner girls just see whether the guy is relatively taller than her. I don't think in our country girl have such strict height level. But 99% of them definitely want their guys to be taller than them.
And personally as a guy, I want my girl (whenever I get a girl :P ) to be shorter than me. That's it. :)
