Girls don't date guys taller then them for the fact that men on average are taller then them.
Though I'd assume their interest in men taller than them is due to the fact that most men are taller, size matters in a lot of ways and it is a primitive trait.
Guys need to stop coming up with pathetic excuses for why they can't get laid. The "I am too short' one is getting really old.
I don't give a damn about height. How tall you are doesn't determined the size of your heart. Short guys are just as loveable and worthy as tall guys are. Some are even fantastic in bed too 😍
Lol really? I heard a rumor on here that you never sleep, That you're an insomniac.
Ahh! So, that's it. I see
below 5'10 is too short, i'd say thats probably my cut of point, unless he has a killer personality and really good looks so yes, there are exceptions.
how tall are you toad :)?
haha wow you read my mind lol you answered before i asked
Lol I’m 5’9 and a half
5'10" woof.
I pray for all of us to gain 4 more inches.
if you don't already have a boyfriend or husband you're screwed.
@PrincessPie Well then, I'm screwed
At what point do you check his license or measure him? do you ask him to take off his shoes so they don't add height?
@PrincessPie if you are 6 ft or above yourself that’s reasonable…otherwise your standards are too high…

Below 5’8.
I’m 5’2 and I want kids but if I have a boy then I want him to have a shot at being tall. Besides, I like guys that are tall because it makes me feel secure.
now imagine a guy understands that he's short but he wants his kid to be tall...
My dad is short and my brother is tall lol. My dad is 5’9 and my brother is 6’1
Wouldn’t bother me. I just worry about it for him because I know women prefer taller guys. I wouldn’t want that to get the way. I already have health issues that hey could inherit. I don’t want their size to be another strike against them.
I don’t have any. That’s probably more of a conversation better handled by a father since my being short doesn’t really effect me in the dating world.
Well, it’s true. I can’t relate to something that I’ve not experienced. All I can do is empathize.
Lol, I’d tell him what I told you. Why are you so concerned with how I speak to my children?
but you don't empathize, instead of making it more acceptable for males to be shorter, you rather have them all obliterated.
your the type of woman who would smother the kid if she found out he's gonna be short.
I used to think that I needed a man who's at least 5'8" in order to feel secure, but my boyfriend is 5'6" and I find my safe haven in his arms. And I'm 5'4" but I'm fine with his height, because as I've mentioned, I'm not going to exchange for a guy who's taller, but isn't going to be the way my boyfriend is, so I've learned and changed my mind: height isn't one of the most important things. I used to think of height as one of the deal breakers, plus I factored in the fact that I'm "average" height, and wouldn't be able to be with a man who's not at least 5'8" but not anymore, as long as he's taller than my height, 2 inches is about 5 cm. That's something.
@Allie_Oops I remember that average height in women is around 5'3" or 5'4" but I supposed for a woman being 5'2" not a lot of guys will say something, maybe few will, so that's why you won't get to experience what guys are going through when they're defined as "short," but then I think it's interesting that you require a man to be at least certain height.
@StarsInTheEyes Do you want a cookie for having a short boyfriend? I don't know why you'd find my preference interesting since I already explained why I prefer taller guys.
I've had men tell me I was too short before though I wouldn't say it got in the way of my dating life. Feelings were not hurt. Everyone is attracted to what they are attracted to. But if you notice, I never said it was a requirement for men to be tall to date me, either. Requirements and preferences are two totally different things. I actually dated a guy who was 5'1 for 4 months my freshman year in college.
Besides, I've noticed shorter guys are much more aggressive and try entirely too hard to prove they are masculine as if they are trying to compensate for their height in other ways.
I read your response that below 5'8" is too short for you, so I didn't interpret that being at least 5'8" was a preference of yours, but a requirement.
You have your opinion, and I was not saying that it was wrong. I was saying that guys who are not "tall" can still provide security and protection, and it is due to some girls' superficial attitudes towards those guys who aren't as tall, that make some of them feel like they need to compensate.
I said it's interesting because you're below average height among girls, but you can scold guys for being "short" because it's okay for girls to be short, but not okay for guys to be short.
I can't count how many posts I've seen from guys, asking if they're too short, how short is too short (including this one) but I have not seen any girl asking how short is too short.
Nobody, guys or girls, should be punished for something in their genetics, something which they cannot control
@StarsInTheEyes Thanks. It's that we're entitled for girls to like us, it's that the reasoning always seems to be it's an issue with the guy and not a matter of preference.
Wow these comments were over a year old... I actually think the height of parents might not affect that of their child. I've heard instances where parents were probably a foot less than their child.
I think grandparents' height might've affected a child's, so it might not be the immediate parents' height that we're looking at. Now I don't really pay attention to height when I go on dates with guys. Haha...
I think even girls being 5'2" is okay haha. Height is just a number. I think weight is more important, as too much weight can increase risks of heart and metabolic conditions, etc.
@StarsInTheEyes agree I think height should not be a dealbreaker unless it caused logistical problems (I. e. girl/guy getting pain from bending down or leaning up constantly. But weight is a dealbreaker for me because it’s changeable at least to some degree and also weight is a health thing where you can’t fit on airplanes/cars without tailing up extra space can’t do athletic stuff etc
Anything shorter than 9 foot is too short for me :p
I'd draw the line at around 5'7".
Why?
@Benedek38 I shouldn't say that as being concrete, because I have been attracted to a guy that was around 5'5", but he was pretty fit. To be honest, I can't completely say the specifics as to why, but I like there to be a substantial height difference between my partner and I, and I find comfort in him being around 6-7 inches taller. It isn't as if I can't move on that number if I really found myself into a guy.
Does that help at all?
@TSBilliards Refer to my answer to @Benedek38
@Benedek38 Well I'm 5' even, so, I would be a dickhead to expect someone to be like 6'5" the way I see it. So, even though 5'7" doesn't sound tall, it's tall to me.
I think that as long as a guy is not my height, or shorter than my height, I'm pretty much fine with any height.
Before, I used to think that 5'8" would be the minimum, but when I met my boyfriend I completely changed my mind (he's 5'6" and I'm 5'4") However, the build of a man is important to me. My brain isn't wired to be attracted to skinny guys. I like a guy who works out and has muscles (abs are not required but it's a bonus). My boyfriend is muscular and has a good personality, and we connect well emotionally and physically, so I'm not going to exchange him for a guy who's taller but isn't going to be the way he is.
@StarsInTheEyes what’s wrong with him being your height?
The same height is okay. I was just saying that I don't require a guy to be 6-foot tall. I've read a lot of women/girls on here who said that if guys are not 5'10" or 6' they're short, or they would not date guys shorter. I don't understand how you're questioning or potentially criticizing me for having my opinion?
And this was my opinion from over a year ago. I don't understand what your point is looking for things that I've said in history and probably don't think that way anymore?
I just saw the votes, which were exactly what I said. Did you see how many females voted less than 5'10" and 6' are too short? And I was questioned for my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
I'd drawn the line around 5'1. I'm 5'0, but I don't see height as a major factor compared to personality. Even if he was a few inches shorter than me, which is unlikely, I'd still date him if he had a good personality. Not going to be picky.
It's not necessarily a matter of me being attracted to you despite your slightly smaller stature than most, it's just a bit off-putting when the shorter guy has 'short-guy syndrome' (feeling the need to compensate in personality for their lack of height for those that don't know).
I don't mind if you're a couple inches shorter than me, but when I have to physically bend my neck down to talk to you, that's when it becomes more of an issue.
how should guys NOT feel short-guy syndrome when they read comments where girls are saying "X'XX is the cut off point" or "they should do this this and this to make up for their height." ?
@Armourdillo Tbh, it makes me so mad when girls do ridiculous crap like that like setting a specific height for a guy to be and I guess it's hard to combat that, but for the guys that feel a bit inferior than 7 foot tall giants, I guess just try to be the best person you can be.
If a short guy feels that inferior, then they could get some procedures to fix it, but I feel they should just be cool, genuine people and eventually (for me, at least) that is enough for your height to become insignificant in regards to your overall attractiveness.
How many men do you know get the procedure done?
Uhh none, but I'm sure technology is to the point that something could be done if someone really felt inclined to
I chose "a guys height isn't a requirment for me for me to date him". I've seen attractive guys shorter than me and around my height (5ft, so they were really short) and their height didn't make them any less attractive or appealing for me.
Personally I wouldn’t not date a guy just because of their height but I’d prefer if they were taller than 5’3... still, it really isn’t important to me
I'm 5'8 so usually 5'10 is the minimum but I prefer it when he's also taller than me when I'm wearing heels so that's around 6 ft or taller. Of course there's always exceptions but I don't think I'd date someone shorter than me
@sineadmoyles why not 5’8” or 5’9”? Expecting a guy to be taller than you in heels is ridiculous
Oh crap, since I'm 5'10 (178cm) myself I voted for "below 5'10", haven't seen the "anything my height or shorter than me" ... oops.
In general, my own height is about the shortest I would go (+/- 2cm). Otherwise, I just do not feel attracted.
It's not important friend my brother is 30 and 5"5 and can garuntie he gets more pussy then the avarege guy because of his larger then life persona
OMG garuntie lol
5'4 is my height, so shorter than that would feel short for me. However, I don't care, I liked boys same height or even a bit shorter than me before (as well as I liked some tall guys too). Height isn't a requiriment for me.
Prob about 5’6”. Minimal.
Should be noticeably taller than me when I wear heels.
I'm 5'2.5-5'3", so as soon as I put on a pair of winter boots I'd be towering over someone if they're 5'5"..
My ideal height is 5'8-5'9" - I can still wear heels but they don't have to be stilettos!
How fucked up it is that guys lose out on opportunities because the girl wants to be shorter while hearing shoes that add to her height. If your so concerned about feeling small, why wear shoes that drastically change your height? since you seem to be a fan of shoes that change your height, would you reconsider if the guy saw your insecurity and wore inserts to his shoes to keep that height differential?
you got abused for dating a short guy? im sorry on behalf of guys below 5'8
I feel like you responded to the wrong comment.
yea yea, people make rude comments and your insecure, so guys pay the price for you insecurity. If a guy in insecure, he's blacked off from dating, if a girl is insecure she gets a tall man. What a fucking world
It would becuase at 17 your immature, but you don't sound liek you grew up from it. since i was 13 "hahahaha you're too short to get a girlfriend" and even on here, girs like you care more about your fucking shoes than what the man is worth. but when i say shit because of experienced i had, I'm the bad guy? when you demonize short guys based on your experience you're this moral princess? i want to say it doesn't work like that, but i guess not
Bro, you should have used Cm too
Like 5 ft.10" is 175 cm
But 5.8 ft is 175 cm
I'm only 5'0 so yeah my height and lower is a bit small. I prefer at least ONE of us can reach the top shelf... Or the second to the top shelf...
@PrinceyPru good thing they have step stools, no?
Don't really care if I like the guy. I'm 5'3 . Doesn't affect the attractiveness of a man if he's short or tall. Height is not why I date someone.
Anything shorter than 5'4 would be too short for me. I'm only 5'3.
I think my ideal height for a man would be about 5'7. That's the perfect height 💕💕💕
im 5'8 😂😂😂
Close enough 😍💕😁
I only know CM/KM etc and 1,50M / 150cm would be to small.
Im 174cm and i had a boyfriend who was 160 and it was pretty funny to annoy him :D
you are around my height, about 5'8. Just remember 30cm is about one foot
For girls, I don’t care. For boys, 5’3 and under is too short.
sexist much?
No. Bisexual much
"Girls, any height will do, guys be 5'3 or you mean nothing on this earth"
I’m 5’7. So 5’10 Is an excellent kissing height. :D The Lowest I’d go is probably my height.
As they as they have a good heart and personality that is all is good
Anything shorter than slightly below my height is too short. I'm short myself.
how should they get over that flaw to cater to your expectations of what makes a man a man?
@Armourdillo if a guy is shorter than what I mentioned then he is definitely a dwarf... I wouldn't want dwarfism sorry.
dwarfism isn't defined by height, it's defined by genetics or disorders that cause your growth to be stunted. " I wouldn't want dwarfism sorry. " this is ignorant, it's not contagious. But at least your honest about your prejudices even if they are based on false facts.
@Armourdillo I never said dwarfism is contagious. I said that I wouldn't want a dwarf man.
@CubsterShura not all dwarves are disproportionate like Peter Dinklage though some are just short but have normal proportions
I'm really not sure. I've never been asked out by a guy my height or shorter.
I'm like 6'1 yet I was one of the smaller people when I was in some uni intro thing and many girls were taller than me lol
Lmao I feel you bro. I am 6 ft.
I'm taller than every girl here's minimum. Lucky me.
I think that 5'6 and over is fine, below that would be too close to my own height I think.
Below 5'9 is too short, that's shorter than me but I can tolerate it.
Said that, I'm 6'1, that's taller than most girls on the G&G.
I'm told too often that I'm too short, and I'm 5'10.
Well shit. I'm out for the vast majority of the women who responded.
Same here
I'm 5'1" and any height will do for this loving, caring, affectionate, lonely short girl.
For me its more a preference in women. You won't be rejected just because of your height but my prefered height is about 5'11 and up.
Girls seee a 5'11" guy five feet shoter than a 6 feet guy thats just their perception
Ha... ha... ha... I'm so screwed!😂😂
Look at me with the 5'1😥😥😥😥
Anything shorter than my own height is too short. I'm 160 cm tall.
@Pitzi anything above 5'0 is fine for you? Or do you need dem 6'2 guys?
@pitzi You're lyin', he has to be taller than you at least...
@pitzi I am 3'5" DATE ME :D
@pitzi Carry me :D
I'm 5'5" and I hate how girls won't date a short guy, but when the guy wants a fit or average girl we get shit for it.
Anything below about 5' 6" is short. Anything shorter than me is too short! That is 5' 1"
Women think anything below 6 feet is too short even if she's only 5 ft tall.
if you're tall according to girls thats short, if you're short you're too short. if you're medium height thats too consider as short
Good heart is Paramount, but 5'10 and above is an added advantage
Depends on how tall the girl herself is..
Anything below 5’5
Below 5’3 is too short
Shorter than me is too short.
Shorter than me. I'm 5'3/4
5’5 and under is too short. 5’6 too
Below 5ft9
I’m 5’3 at most so really 5’5 would be fine for me
i don't understand how people demand more than what they are.
@Armourdillo woah someone’s butt hurt and I don’t demand it I said it would be fine as in if someone were my same height it wouldn’t b a deal breaker but my ideal height would b 5’5 being considerate because of the shorter guys which are the same amount as attractive as taller guys
@Davionnawhatup you had said 5’5” is fine you didn’t say 5’3” was fine earlier though
Anyone shorter than me is too short lol
I'm 5'6
Below like, 5'3 for me. (I'm 5'5)
Below 5'5.
I'm 5'5 so I'm doomed to die alone
Anything shorter than me.
Anything below 5’8 is short.
How tall are you and how do you propose short guys get taller?
I don’t propose short guys get taller. They can’t. And I’m 5’7.
@Vflores1994 not in the USA, 5’7” is also average…and being below avg isn’t the same as short…you have to be two standard deviations away from the midpoint to be short, so 5’4” and below…
Below 5'10. I am 5'11
I'm 5' 8" so anything much shorter then me.
Below my height which is 5ft8
Luckily Space Marines are 7 feet tall.
Showoff!
Just a guy passing through.
