Saying "I'm attracted to 6'2 men but I'd date 5'7" is if height is a preference.
Saying "be my height or taller" is a deal breaker.
The majority of the women that answered said it either didn’t matter as much as men signify height as the end all be all, or that he be as tall or just taller than her. I believe for the majority of women, height can be a dealbreaker in certain situations, but I’d say it’s a preference overall. It’s just how I might prefer blondes but if I’m strolling one day in the park and happen to meet and get on great with a brunette, the preference is almost nonexistent. It’s easy to have a preference when answering a questionnaire online but the complexity and nuance of interacting person to person, makes a lot of these preferences have a slight effect or sometimes a nonexistent one. These are random women that have commented fairly reasonable answers to the question on height and all of either said it doesn’t matter as much as men claim it matters or it’s a preference with reasonable specifics. Now, height does matter, but what I’m seeing is men, probably insecure men, who stress its importance to the stratosphere and beyond, and identify with their height as their sole identifier and no matter how many accomplishments or desirable traits they may have, their insecurity on their height bogs them down.
This difference from person to person. I'm sure there are women who think of height as a preference, whereas some see it as a dealbreaker.
To me it's a preference. Most people in society have this thing that the man should always be taller. Realistically that may not always be the way. I'm not very tall myself I'm only 5ft6. Most people I've dated have always been taller then me apart from my fiance he's only 5ft 2. It doesn't bother me. To me that's a physical attraction which some people base they're dating preferences on. Who cares on the height if they treat you with love and respect and have all the mental contributions you admire. Height is just a number.
I’d like to say it’s a preference but I know I wouldn’t be at all interested in a guy if he was shorter than me, so I guess it’s a deal breaker if he isn’t at least 5’4.
Height > personality then right?
Personality can change, people can work on themselves, but guys can't change height unless they get surgery.
Nah, height isn’t better than personality. I don’t feel I’m asking for much by wanting my boyfriend to be at least my height. It’s not like I require my boyfriend be an entire foot taller than me like some girls, so get off my ass.
Yeah, I understand. Like I'd never EVER be interested in an ugly woman. It's not that I think that looks are more important than love/personality, but I don't think I'm asking too much when I want a woman who is at least a 6/10 when I am usually rated as a 7.
I can't love an ugly woman, so if my wife ever becomes ugly I'll have to divorce lol. Even if she is the most kind hearted woman and I loved everything about her, I would lose interest as soon as she was ugly, that's just the way these things work. Personality is definitely the most important thing for me though, even more important than looks.
Seriously? You’re acting like it’s a crime for someone to just not be attracted to certain physical characteristics now, and as if an absence of attraction to people that have those physical characteristics means the only thing someone cares about is looks. I would get no hate if I said something like “I wouldn’t date a guy with long hair,” or “I wouldn’t date a guy that’s morbidly obese,” or even “I wouldn’t date a black guy,” but GOD FORBID I say I don’t want to date a guy that’s physically smaller than me or has a more feminine frame than I do. It’s a reasonable standard to have, so you can get off my ass too.
And just for the record, thinking that losing interest in and divorcing your wife for the sole reason that she’s become old and lost her good looks is comparable to me not being attracted to a particular physical aspect to begin with is the stupidest analogy I’ve ever heard. The equivalent of me saying “I’m not physically attracted to men that are smaller than me” would be if you said “I’m not physically attracted to girls that have pixie cuts.” Neither of those statements imply that all the person saying them cares about is how their partner looks. Neither of those standards are bizarrely high, and neither of them deserve criticism. If I had said something like “I’m not attracted to men unless they’re at least 6’5,” then you might have had good reason to call me out, but I didn’t say that, and I didn’t give an entirely unmeetable standard, and I don’t only care about my partner’s physical appearance, so kindly chill the fuck out, it’s really not that serious.
What matters more height or dick size then
Dick size is entirely irrelevant. Height barely matters at all to me outside of wanting someone to just be at least the same height as me, but that’s still more than the absolute zero fucks I give about a guy’s dick.

Like most guys, it's just a preference for me.
So, a lot of my friends call me weird for this, but I don't care about height at all. He can be shorter, taller, or the same height.
I mean, look at Corey Feldman and Courtney Anne! Corey is 5'5 and Courtney is 5'10, and they're obviously happy. Why would you reject a sweet, charming and interesting guy because of his height?
Especially after talking to my Japanese guy friends, I kinda' figured it was the other way around.(Guys really don't wanna date girls that are tall or their heights, for example. I got told that like 5'5 was the limit, lol.)
But I suppose that could be a cultural difference, or even just a personal one.
For me, a 5'4 girl, I'm open to anyone as long as their personality is good!
Preference. My SO barely breaks 5ft, but I like em tall.
If he offered to get surgery would you support him?
She/her, and what surgery? Tallifying surgery? No.
That's why, girls aren't bound by height restrictions. never mind.
So if I weren't a lesbian, I'd take issue with something as trivial as height? That's what you're saying?
Would you?
And no, typically homo/bisexual people are less shallow and more into how people are as a person.
height is seen as a masculine trait, that's probably why he is discounting your opinion
It can be both. I prefer north of 5’10 or so but it just a preference until you get down into the 5’6 range at which point I’m not really gonna be physically attracted
personality doesn't mater under 5'6 yea?
I don’t know. Maybe. I just don’t let guys approach me no matter what they look like. I approach them and I’ll only approach guys I’m attracted to right off the bat. Personalities do affect my perception of how attractive they are but unless I git to know them I wouldn’t know so it’s less likely I think.
i guess so then, as a guy who is 5'6, there's nothing i can do right?
unless yuo advocate lifts or surgery
but shorter men, what hope is there? like it just doesn't seem sustainable to have this "survival of the fittesst method." like even if they work out?
you said under 5'6 are undatable. so like how should they come to terms with that>
can you link this evidence? Would you be pro-distribution and removal of such people?
pro-distribution as in remove these people and distribute their belongings amongst taller men.
at what point do you measure the men you approach?
It's a preference. I like the thought of dating someone taller than me, but if I like him height doesn't matter. And that being said, there are many guys shorter than me, so that wouldn't so fair😅
I thibk lots of girls say it like its a deal breaker but its rlly just a preference like if u like someone ur not actually gonna care about their height
Na. I dated a guy who was 5'2. Doesn't really matter to me.
be my height or taller. Deal breaker. I'm 5'4. It ain't hard to be tall as me. Rare to be shorter as a male.
"it ain't hard" what are easy ways to beat your height?
@Factshurt90 yeah, I don't get why short guys don't just increase their height, it was easy for me to choose to be over 6 feet tall, so I don't see what their problem is. Stupid short men need to just stop choosing to be short, fucking simple.
😂😂😂 butthurt much? People get upset when women won’t date short men, but won’t date women unless she has his hair preference, or body type. Fuck outta here! We all have a deal breakers about something. This is ONE of the very few I have.
Cheer up pip squeak😊
Yes those are preferences for me, not deal breakers
Hair preference? I've never heard a man say "I wouldn't date her because her hair isn't the right style". Regardless there are probably cases like this for both genders, petty people exist, I'm sure there are women who refuse to date men who have receeding hairlines.
Body type is something both men and women typically have preferences on. This question is asking about body type technically, as height plays a part in body type, so clesrly many women won't date a man with the wrong body type...
Height is almost exclusively a female deal breaker. I think you should evaluate your deal breakers a little, if this is one of your very few then I think you dropped some important deal breakers along the way. You still won't date a criminal will you (not someone who once comitted a crime, a current criminal on the run from the police)? What about a psychopathic/insane person? Would you date someone who emotionally abuses you? You have plenty of deal breakers, we all do, the difference here is that it's a petty deal breaker.
@devilman666 you sir are PETTY for being so butthurt about it. Obviously, I won't date a danger to myself or my child. I don't like short dudes. get over it🤷♀️
Im not being petty, just annoyed that you act like its mens fault that they are short and yet you act like you dont deserve to be judged for your preferences, people will judge you, get over it.
Also, if you dont like people judging your preferences then dont get upset with men once you hit 30 and they stop liking you, most men just don't like old women, get over it.
Preference, I'd date someone shorter than me. It's unlikely, though, given that I'm 5'2!
Would you be more inclined to date a short guy if he had a big penis?
I'm attracted to shorter girls, but I'd have a relationship with a taller girl, sure! It's all about her personality and all the other attributes after all! :)
Preference. Height doesn’t matter as long as they treat me right
no its not as long as the person is 6'0 or higher not to high because im a tall person
is a 5'9 guys who beats women just as bad as a 5'6 guy who acts the same as you would wnat?
like if a guys has to be 6'0 to be considered worthy, what would you tell shorter men? or they could all die?
Call me strange, but I prefer a guy my height or a little shorter
I know many shorter men would be happy to hear you say that.😊
It is sad that we have to call this strange, but thanks.
Its a dealer breaker for me. He has to be at least 5'6
Not a deal breaker for me being 4'6, but I'd look silly with a guy above 5ft6
Really. You're 4'6? And not 4'9?
I thought I was 4ft9 for ages but got measured properly, and I'm 4ft6. I can't change my name lol
I don’t care about height honestly what matter is how he treats me.
I wouldn't date someone shorter than 5'6
(guys who are below 5'6 are rare anyway) for obvious reasons but other than that I have no problem
Would you be happy is all men under 5'6 got surgery to get taller?
I couldn't care less
It would be a deal breaker. As long as he’s taller than me then we’re good.
At what height should guys stop trying
For me he’s gotta be taller than 5’5
Since im a guy i dont care really as long as they are taller than 4 feet
Why do you respond so aggressive to the women's opinions?
