Girls, how tall is your boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

Just wondering and trying to get some stats on height and dating. If you wanna state your height and the height of your man that would be more beneficial.

5'5 and under

5'6-5'8

5'9-5'11

6'0-6'5

6'6+

Updates

+1 y

Apparently no girls on GaG date guys shorter than average :|

[Valkyriestar]

We'll height is associated with strength and girls myself include like taller guys. It makes us feel safe in a way. However height isn't everything. Any guy who's about 6ft or even 5'9 is pretty tall but it's not just height it's confidence. If a taller guy anywhere from 6ft to 6'6, and of course that that's tall but if he has no confidence height means nothing. One of my friends dated a guy who wasn't that, he was shorter than her. My friend is 5'10 he was about 5'5 maybe 5'4 but the amount of confidence he had was amazing. I dated a guy that was about 6'3 and I'm 5'7and in heels 5'9- 5'10 anyways he didn't have much confidence. Although he was tall and handsome, height isn't everything. Also when your kissing and the guy is super talk it's sometimes hard to kiss lol. If he's the same height though or only a few inches taller then it's alright.

'We'll height is associated with strength and girls myself include like taller guys. It makes us feel safe in a way. However, height isn't everything.' The bias is already there for you so short men are at a disadvantage when I comes to winning you over.

[Anonymous]

I Don't care about height as i am only 5'1 and even though i wish i was a lot taller i like guys to be more on my level. So im not saying i like shortness itself but i just prefer having a guy 2-6 inches taller than me. Although if a guy were 6 foot i wouldn't mind either anythings nice.

[Asker]

You're the perfect height, and it seems like shorter girls prefer guys like 6'+ though because I asked a 4'9 girl out and she denied me because I was too short. I'm 5'7 by the way

[UnknownXYZ]

So you don't care about height yet you prefer having a guy who is 2-6 inches taller?

[Opinion Owner]

Oh thanks and that's weird i wouldn't have guessed really short girls prefer taller

[Opinion Owner]

@UnknownXYZ the height of a guy would never stop anything from happening between me and them but i just also hate wearing heals so i would feel small... which is not necesarily bad i just guess if i had to chose i'de pick a guy closer to my height

[musicbrain5]

I'm 6'1" and my husband is 6'4". We are giants, I know.

I wouldn't mind being with a short guy either if I was single, but the short guys don't usually want a taller girlfriend.

[Asker]

nice

[musicbrain5]

I think we will have giant children.

[Ulyss]

O. O this is news to me I thought tall women only went with tall guys and just pushed short guys aside

[musicbrain5]

@Ulyss: In my experience the short guys are the ones pushing the taller girls aside in favour of short girls.

[Asker]

@Ulyss they do, you can't let one comment change your perception of any obvious reality. Even many short girls don't want guys 6'0 or shorter, so tall girls definitely don't want anything to do with short guys.

[TheSpartan]

Very few short guys will push talked girls aside, so no. That perception is wrong.

[musicbrain5]

@TheSpartan: Guys used to laugh at me for being tall especially if I was taller than them.

[TheSpartan]

Then they're little insecure bitches. There are plenty of girls far taller than me I wouldn't mind throwing onto a bed. :)

[Lovebite1]

My boyfriend is 5'7 and I'm almost 6'1 ☺️ He loves my hight, he says we are a uniqu couple ❤️

[Asker]

cool!

[Trailblazer23]

How is it that less than 15% of men are 6'0 and over, yet 42% of the female responses here list their boyfriends as being 6'0 and over.

Do you guys suspect some stat frauding here? Or is it just that taller guys are almost 3x as successful with dating than guys 5'11'' and under

For reference I am 5'11'' and single.

[Asker]

It could be that girls are terrible at estimating height and their BF's add a few inches when the girl asked. Or girls that are insecure are exaggerating numbers, or maybe your theory, obviously tall guys are more successful at dating but you wouldn't think it'd be that prevalent in statistics.

[No1knowsaboutme]

You are doing the math for only a small portion of overall statistics. The 42% you are getting from here, is nowhere near the margin of the entire male world population as a whole, in which the 15% is calculated from.
At 5'11", I tower over man men in my area. In fact, a man (5'8") walked up to me yesterday insisting he had to talk to me, because he found me "extremely attractive." (His words) A friend of mine, 5'3", made it clear he wants to date me. Two of my ex's were 5'3" & 5'9" tall. I am surrounded by shorter men & I live in the States. I've passed many Arabic men in our local stores who were 5'4"-5'9" tall. They froze in their tracks as I passed them, because I was so much taller than them. An overall world wide calculation for the height of men will show the lesser percentage.

[zorro8888]

I guess there's not much for me to say here.

[Asker]

then why post lol

[zorro8888]

Xper points :D

[Asker]

why does this shit get 1+ when actual answers don't :|

[zorro8888]

Lol people like me bro! Come on this is funny. Why so angry?

[Asker]

usually jokes have a punchline, or something of humorous content... It just gets me a bit rattled that on this site, people posting irrelevant shit get more upvotes than people actually answering questions the right way.

[zorro8888]

There was nothing I could have done for you. You asked for girls opinions. Me posting got more traffic on your question or do you not realize that's how it works.

So how tall are you anyway? Along with your age.

[kheserthorpe]

Well selected gif. upvoted. :p

[dolphiny]

i think he's 5'7 or 5'8. and i'm 5'3. he's on the shorter side, but he's not a midget or anything. he's the perfect size for me lol. im not really attracted to super tall guys.

[Asker]

Obviously 5'8 is much above being a midget lol, I think like 5'0 and below is considered dwarfness for guys.

[dolphiny]

lol yeah i would too. but a lot of people think guys who are below 5'5 are like super short. he's just barely over that so i just wanted to clarify he isn't freakishly small especially compared to me haha

[aaamethyst88]

I'm 5'6" and the guy I'm dating is about 5'7"-5'8." However I wear heels a lot and I'm not going to stop. He doesn't mind though, in fact he checks out my legs more when I do. ;) Height isn't an issue for me. Guys that are insecure about it might be though.

[GinaTina]

Omg that's the same with me!!!

[BumbleDeev]

My boyfriend is 4'7 and he isn't going to grow any taller. He has a growth problem thingy. I find it extremely adorable how short he is

[Asker]

Nice, how tall are you?

[BumbleDeev]

I'm about 5'0 or 5'1. My family says I will probably be very tall when I'm older

[snowangle]

He's 5'8", I'm 5'4". It's just right. :) We fit together perfectly.

[Moose22]

All the single ladies all the single ladies.. put ur hands up da daa daah 😂

[Anonymous]

When I was a teen, I dated a guy that was 5'3" and I was 5'7". I am now 5'11 & stiil for some reason attracted to guys who are short. They are so much sweeter than tall men, because they are overlooked. (NO PUN INTENDED) LOL Shorter men feel they have a lot to prove... that they're as good or better than taller men. I love it. I'd choose a shorter man over tall any day. They don't take up so much space in bed or chairs when you snuggle either. Heh heh heh

[PonyCar]

(Jumps in this boat)

What she speaks is the truth.

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'2, my boyfriend is 5'7, but both previous boyfriends were 6ft and other guys I've dated have usually been around the 6ft range to.

[Asker]

why were all previous 6'?

[Opinion Owner]

I just liked them. Also, i was never really used to shorter men as every man I grew up around, like brothers cousins uncles dad were all 6ft and over, so short men were just different to me, like it wasn't something I was used to. But anyway, I liked him so I got with him. Height isn't really a huge issue to girls as guys think, maybe if the guy is quite a bit shorter than her, but that's it. Anyway, you don't need to worry about height at your age either, you've got time still.

[Asker]

Fair enough.

[bijinbijinbijin]

My fiance is 5'6. There is a link to my instagram in my profile and you can see a pic of us.

[bijinbijinbijin]

also for the record. In the USA average height for a man is 5'11 so according to your poll, it looks like quite a few women are dating guys who are below average height.

[Asker]

Average height is 5'10, but no statistics taken have been consistent so you could be right but it's not probable. Plus this site includes more than just Americans and the average height worldwide is like 5'9-5'9.5

[RaceAgainstMachine]

How tall are you?

[Okamiii]

He's 6'4" and I am 5'11". There aren't a lot of small guys here in the Netherlands.

[Okamiii]

I'm 6'0" . Sorry for the mistake.

[Asker]

Ya isn't 6'4 like average height over there or something lol?

[Okamiii]

I think so, all boys in my class are (the smallest ones are 5'11") around 6'2" and up.

[TheSpartan]

Nah, average is 6'0 over there for men.

[Mustachekitteh]

My bf is 5'4" and I'm 5'0 so to me he's still pretty tall, lol.

[Anonymous]

My ideal is 6 ft and taller, I'm 5'6. I would date a short guy though. There was a guy who got hired at my job recently, he's a bit shorter than me but I had the hugest crush on him. He was super hot, great personality. He got fired so I never got his number. He was only there 3 weeks. :( boo

[hxcp1]

women are obsessed with tall men, as if they are some sort of trophy or some shit

[TheSpartan]

Little do they know that no one gives a shot how tall their boyfriends are lol

[katherineEnzo]

I don't know how the hell do you count these so I'll just say them on centimeters. my bf is 1,70+ cm. and so am I

[RaceAgainstMachine]

Do you wear heels?

[Anonymous]

Hello young sir, currently single, but have dated guys 5'7 to 6'7. I'm 5'7 and live in a heavily German area with above average height, so I wasn't discounting guys under that height... there just weren't many. I've seem guys of all heights do well with women, so don't fret, no matter your height. :)

[nert73]

He's exactly 6 feet tall and I'm 5'3", but his height has nothing to do with why he's my boyfriend. He could be four feet tall and it wouldn't make a difference.

[glamgamergal]

Awww

[nert73]

@glamgamergal it's amazing how shallow people are about height. He's the first boyfriend I've had that's taller than me. I used to not even have any friends that were taller than me! Now I'm in a slump while everyone else is growing!

[glamgamergal]

Wow...

[nert73]

@glamgamergal what?

[glamgamergal]

That's love

[nert73]

@glamgamergal :-) 😊

[UnknownXYZ]

'He could be four feet tall and it wouldn't make a difference.' Another statistic regardless.

[nert73]

@UnknownXYZ so, what? I don't give a stinkin crap about height, unlike most females. You can't pick apart my opinion--it's my opinion.

[UnknownXYZ]

My point wasn't about your opinion and I am not picking it apart. I am stating that because it's unfortunate that you don't care for height as it would still add to add to the fact your boyfriend is taller than you. That's why I said "you're just another statistic regardless [of how you feel about height]."

[nert73]

@UnknownXYZ sure, but like I said, I don't care about height. You're making it sound like I should. He's taller than me. Blame puberty, not me.

[UnknownXYZ]

Yeah, ok...

[nert73]

@UnknownXYZ what? I'm not following your senseless argument, here.

[Klaatu51]

i voted 5'5" because i thought nobody would vote this option. :-/

[TheWorldEndsWithYou]

I like how every girl here thinks their boyfriend is the height of a freaking nba player. If you really do the measuring I can almost guarantee you that most of them are 5 10 or less maybe a couple of 6 footers.

[TheSpartan]

Girls are notoriously bad at estimating height, so this survey really isn't going to work very well.

[NovaLS]

"I swear he was 6'6" though..."

[Asker]

That's true, I bet a lot of girls claiming 6'0+ have 5'10 BF's and such, because right now this survey goes against common statistics. Only like 15% of men in America are over 6'0, yet apparently they are the majority in this survey.

[TheSpartan]

Yeah lol like @PrettyGurl saying that her boyfriend is 6'5 and that's average in her area. Unless she lives on fucking Mt. Olympus, that isn't anywhere near average.

[TheSpartan]

Hell, my mom thought my friend was 5'11, and he's like just slightly above 5'8 lol and she's about 5'6, so she isn't short at all.

[Mar1na]

like we dont ask them about their exact height

[TheSpartan]

@Mar1na Do you honestly think guys are going to be honest about that? Guys lie about their heights all the time. Lying about 2-3 inches is fairly common. Some guys lie about 4-5 inches if they think they can get away with it.

[thealphamaleishere]

They are HORRIBLE with heights, lengths, distances... That is not how women's minds work Lol

Throw a football 60 yards... How far you think I threw that babe?

"90 feet maybe... I don't know I would need a tape measure?"

[TheSpartan]

Well, men are naturally better at spatial awareness. Evolutions warrants it after all. On the other end, however, women are better at distinguishing colors.

[Mar1na]

a girl can tell the difference between a 5'10 and a 6'0.. the guy who is 6'0 stands out he's above average and that not something difficult to notice

[TheSpartan]

A 6'0 isn't going to stand out that much at all, no.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, having a height requirement is apparently acceptable, but a weight requirement for a girlfriend is considered wrong. Double standards are bullshit.

[kheserthorpe]

Both are equally acceptable. Both trigger hate from some people who don't meet the requirement.

The same is true around requirements for muscles, looks, hair length, educational level, income, sexual history/openness, etc.

[Opinion Owner]

There are not societal campaigns surrounding "height shaming" there is not a constant pressure for females to "stop making short guys feel bad" or to "accept short guys and stop being shallow"... so they aren't truly the same.

[PonyCar]

1 can be altered (to varying extent) through various means. The other cannot be altered at all (unless you count literally bone-breaking, coordination-sacrificing surgery or malnutrition).

How do you consider these two to be even close comparable? I mean, come on, when was the last time you were in the checkout line at a grocery store and saw a magazine advertizing ways to grow taller through diet and exercise?

BTW: Just in case you were going to mention it- weight requirements go both ways.

[Opinion Owner]

Ok so the one that can not be changed matters more than the one that can be, how does that logic work. Girls who want guys who don't date big girls can change to fit into that demographic, guys who don't fit into a female preference have no alternative. You argument doesn't make the claim better. It makes it worse.
Just because magazines sell the idea that most people (male and female) find attractive in both sexes, doesn't make the argument stronger. Media uses what sells shit and that is why you don't see fat guys on magazines, but you will see fat girls even though it doesn't sell as well, there is this push to force it down our throats.
I know weight requirements go both ways, but it seems the only time it becomes something to shame is when it's a guys preference. Actual any male preference is shamed. Women can set any standard and it be excepted without question. Stature, wealth, height, weight, job, race... etc.

[Opinion Owner]

... Also, magazines telling people how to eat and be healthier shouldn't be considered something that make fat women feel bad. Being healthy should be a goal and if you consider it offensive that society suggest you be healthy, you got problems way beyond you weight.

[Afrochick]

height is not changeable weight is ;)

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I think we covered that.

[WooshSwoosh]

These heights are LITERALLY so over exaggerated. Average for a man is about 5'10

[Asker]

Ya, but girls seem more proud to date taller guys or something.

[WooshSwoosh]

I could see dating a guy who is taller, but if these numbers are correct these guys are LITERALLY giants or something

[Asker]

Either girls BF's are exaggerating their heights, or girls that have shorter BF are shamed for some reason and aren't voting. Unless a high population of GaG members are Nordic, because in those countries the average is like 6'0.
