Girls, would you date a guy shorter than you? Guys, would you date a girl taller than you?


I am 4'9" and no, I wouldn't date a guy who's shorter then me. Not even if he's my height. I don't know why, it's a turn off. Maybe if I was tall then I wouldn't mind.
I actually had a very uncomfortable situation recently. Matched with a guy on Tinder and went on a date with him. He didn't put his height in his bio and didn't seem short on his photos, it didn't even crossed my mind that he would be shorter then me! I was really mad at that moment and wanted to tell him that he should've put his height in his bio, but I couldn't. It was the first time ever I met a man who's shorter then me. Until now I never thought about it since chances that I will meet someone like that were slim, I didn't think I was shallow. Didn't think it matters. But oh boy, it did. His hands are even smaller then mine, and my shoulders are wider then his. It just felt unnatural.
It depends. I dated a guy shorter than me once and hated it. Only because he was very submissive and it was my first relationship (his too but I was 16 he was almost 19) so it was weird. I think if the guy took charge and actually made me feel like a girl it'd be okay.
Lmao. I'm 5'8", the guy I dated was 5'4" (he claimed, I think he was like 5'2"). I like guys to be at least 5'7" I don't wear heels often because it makes me freakishly tall and because I don't usually dress that way. I wish I was shorter. A lot of guys in this part of the state are really short. I cannot pee standing up... 🤣
I said it in my original comment. Sometimes they're too submissive. I've been with guys that are my same height or a couple of inches shorter than me and that went great. But it's hard to even find that. Most guys here are like 5'5" and below. They wouldn't date a taller girl anyway. Too "macho:
No problem.
Height is not a factor to me, I don't walk into a room of people, see who the tallest person is, and think "gee, that must be the smartest, strongest, most trustworthy, best-at-everythingest one here, because they are so tall."
But I do know that at LEAST 50% of girls literally are that stupid.
I mean, they have literally done studies, where they show a woman a picture of a guy's face and say, "He's 6'5'', what do you think his personality is like?" and they women say, "oh, he's so smart and brave and kind and honest!" And they show the same picture to another woman and say, "He's 5'6'', what do you think he's like?" And they go, "Oh, he's definitely an evil dirty crook and a liar, I bet he beats his wife and is probably a pedophile as well."
@sparkdog I'm telling you, I don't have a preference regarding height. 3 feet tall, 10 feet tall, I don't care either way. My height is average.
I don't think I'd have a problem with it but I would probably feel a little inadequate at times. If I knew that she was really into me and loved me then that'd make me feel comfortable about it.

I wouldn't be with a shorter guy.
For me 5ft9 is the minimum for me to be attracted to him. Maybe 5ft8.
I'm 5ft6 and want him to be at least a couple of inches taller.
Yes, I would date a guy shorter than me.
I'm 5'1" and I don't really care how tall my guy is.
By and large, women are all about wearing baseball caps, high tops, jeans and wielding lightsabers and capes on the silver screen. "You go girl!" You know, empowered, strong, all that kind of stuff. Words are easy. In reality, most women still hunker down into the comfortable safety of their perceived norms. So most can't get on board with being shorter. Sad but true. Yes, women are gung ho in spirit and with their words, but the actions? You don't have to believe me, go out into the world and see for yourself what the hoards of "strong" women are doing.
I'm pretty short already so the odds of a guy being shorter than me are really small 😋.
That being said, I do love feeling smaller and protected, so, obviously, I will feel that way more easily with a guy who is taller than me. If we are the same height but he is stronger than me then that's okay too.
I Never had too.
I'm 5'8 and attract only tall guys.
But if I'm honest more like not. And that not to offend anyone. Just not my thing. It would seem uncomfortable to me. And as much as this girl loves her chucks. I like my heels and combat boots too.
@sparkdog
I'm 5'8.
And anybody above that is fine by me. And ill admits maybe Im just not that "confident" .
I also have a very strong presence, confident self assure look to my appearance. So when I date people seem to pay close attention to whom I'm dating for some ungodly known reason
and It has a tendency to shapes my views.
I wouldn't be comfortable dating a guy who is significantly shorter than me but I'd be okay with dating a guy who isn't noticeably shorter than me. If he's significantly shorter than me I'd let him know that I'm not comfortable with it but I'll give him a chance and I'll try to become more comfortable with it.
I prefer short guy more since I bad example with tall guys and I don't find tall guys attractive. Short guys are more attractive to me. Eg they will have learning disabilities. I don't wear a high heel. This is on my pic of my simself on sims 4.
Not to sound shallow (even though it is), but I don’t think I would. I’m 5’3. For all the guys saying that this is bs, guys also pick out “flaws” in girls and choose not to date them because of that. It works both ways. Nothing wrong with that
It’s definitely not a flaw, I can’t find a good word for it, hence the quotations lol. I’m short and a lot of people try and make fun of me for it but honestly I don’t see why
And I guess I meant other things as well, looks-wise not only height
Cool. I just never quite understand why it is an issue at all with women, and no one can ever seem to explain it. I mean if a guy is healthy and attractive why does it matter? I think that maybe it has more to do with what women think others will think of her, which is silly. Anyway thanks for replying
Np:) I feel like maybe the reason why women see it as a “turn off” is because from an evolutionary point of view, a lot of people are under the impression that tall men=strong men etc, even though it’s definitely not always the case, and I agree with you in the sense that theoretically it shouldn’t be an “issue” if they’re healthy and attractive at first glance if the women’s opinion is solely subject to their looks. Tbh I’m not entirely sure why many women refuse to date taller guys, it really do be like that sometimes
In all honesty, probably not. I'm already short myself so any shorter and he'd be like... almost a dwarf. Plus, I've always liked rather tall-big guys, they just make me feel do secure and safe 😄😄 Plus cuddling is heavenly!!!
It would really depend on how much shorter and his personality. I prefer taller men, but if I met a shorter guy with a great personality, I might date him. Probably not if it was more than a couple of inches difference though.
@sparkdog I’m 5’9”. I generally like guys to be around 6’, but it really depends. I would probably date someone as short as 5’7” if he were a good person.
@sparkdog what does peeing have to do with this?
@sparkdog ok I’m uncomfortable answering that one. But yes, I wear heels, even though I wish I was shorter. Because you may as well own it, right?
@sparkdog because I’m taller than all my friends and I feel big sometimes.
@sparkdog I don’t know. I guess because I associate being big with being fat. I’m not fat. I guess I just worry what people think you know?
@sparkdog I have heard people say that I guess. Thanks.
@sparkdog never telling you that.
@sparkdog cuz I’m uncomfortable with the question
@sparkdog because I just am. Why do you want to know so bad?
I hate to be that girl, but, honestly, no. I really like tall guys. I did date a guy who was around the same height as me though, and i didn't wear heels when i went out with him. It was kind of sad.
@sparkdog I'm 5'3. he was around the same. It just didn't feel comfortable walking around taller than him.
@sparkdog yes, i love heels
@sparkdog so many questions lol. of course it depends on the type of heels. Personally anything around 6 is ideal for me. i like em tall. ;) g-eazy's 6'4" and I think that's hella attractive. i wish I were taller, like nicole kidman. I think it makes women look prettier. But then there's the problem of dating guys shorter, so I guess I'm pretty satisfied with my height.
@sparkdog the shortest would probably be 5'5, but I really prefer them tall.
@sparkdog no... how would i do that?
I am like 5’7-5’8 and I had an obsessive crush on a guy that was like 5’5-5’6. I towered over him but his personality was so amazing, he was always so encouraging and positive I fell in love. Unfortunately he has a girlfriend tho... that broke my heart lol.
Wow that’s a lot of questions 😂 I normally would want a guy taller than me or at least my height in a perfect world but with this guy I just didn’t even see him for his height he made up for it in so many other ways. And I don’t wear heels because everyone I know is so short so I’d look like a giant.
To the question above this, what the heck does peeing standing up have to do with whether or not a girl would date a guy shorter than her? Enlighten me
Fair enough but this whole thread is looking like a troll. You ask the same questions, some not even related to the original question, to everyone and you respond exactly the same to everyone. You're weirding me out man
Heck you're not the OP so stop the trolling
😂😂
If I find someone attractive I find them attractive. I’m pretty short so it’s not hard to find a guy taller than me and height isn’t a big deal.
Yes attractive comes in all sizes it's the confidence more then size that attracts me.
What's your height and how short can you like him?
I'm already short as it is, so i definitely wouldn't someone shorter than me lol
I tend to prefer taller women as they are more attractive and look more mature to me than shorter girls.
@sparkdog
I am 5'3" and I like a woman around 5'10".
I like the whole thing about cuddling with someone bigger than me.😊
No, I just couldn't do it. I don't care all that much about height, but all I ask is that she be at least an inch shorter.
I'm 5'10 and I like tall girls (5'7-6'5 ft tall) -so yes, I don't mind if a girl is taller than me (but not gigantic, I wouldn't date a girl who is 7 ft tall or even taller).
I probably would, as long as he wasn’t extremely short and the rest of him was attractive. I’d be turned off by his height though.
@sparkdog 5’7” and 6’-6’1”
@sparkdog Probably not, yes, no, no
@sparkdog Short guys look too young. 5’9”-5’10.5”. Sitting is more comfortable.
@sparkdog Their bodies are smaller than average so they don’t look fully grown. I get to rest when I’m sitting.
@sparkdog It would be a little weird if he had a hot face because I prefer older faces and then it’s like a grown man’s face on a kid’s body. He would have to be 5’6” or below for it to be a dealbreaker, although anything under 5’10” is pushing it for me. Heel lifts are very unattractive.
My whole life I've had to stand or sit in the back, squish down, lean this way or that waybecause I'm tall. I have no qualms about saying I want a tall guy because I want someone to walk this earth as a giant with.
if he was more buff than me then yea
I like guys to be bigger than be in some way, doesn't need to be height
I'm 4'10 but id never date a guy under 6'0ft.

he prolly packing a small dinkie
I don't think so but I'd never rule it out, I'm quite short though.
Men say yes because we live in an age where they're a bunch of cucks
I am often memorized by tall women, especially if they're taller than me without heels (I'm over 6ft so very rare that happens)
Don't let any of these girls on here fool you. They all want tall guys, but they will "overlook" your short height if you compensate it with other things such as money.
@sparkdog I'm 5'5 and I don't really care about height. Although I would be less inclined to approach a woman over 6'2
I probebly couldn't date a girl taller than me. I am 6'2 I was tall al my life and I like it. I have only seen in person like three girls taller than me and I just felt weird next to them.
If height ends up being a deciding factor you probably wouldn't be in a rewarding relationship.
No, I'm a dominant guy and it's kinda awkward trying to dominate a girl taller than you. Plus, everyone will call her my mom.. . gross
My wife was taller than me when we met but after having our kids she is slightly shorter.
i wouldn't actively look for it but if we connect, then why not?
@sparkdog 175cm. obviously i prefer them smaller, like 170cm and less.
@sparkdog because if they're taller, that means they're heavyer which makes them harder to manhandle in bed.
@sparkdog women are only lighter than men if they're more slender and even then, tall women are heavier than small women, which is why i prefer small ones. i have had sex with women as tall and "heavyer" than me and i didn't like it so much. it was ok but i don't prefer it.
you can have your opinion, that taller women are better, that's fine xD but i don't share that opinion though.
@sparkdog as i said you can have your opinion. i have mine.
@sparkdog dude write a take if you wanna rant about what you like about women. i don't care. XD i stated my preference and i don't see how discussing your preference more does add anything of value for me. so i'll just mute this now :) good day for you sir.
Yes, though I'd prefer it if there wasn't a major difference.
About 5'2 and I'd prefer someone the same height. Never dated before though.
I said I wouldn't mind dating a taller girl.
I rather not, it looks bad, a guy is the one who should be bigger and stronger.
Probably, but I would not like a girl that is tremendously taller than me, same goes to shorter, just, not with a big difference, I think it would be awkward
I couldn't care less about height and I am pretty sure everyone else I know don't care either. It seems to be a big issue online but I never hear about it in the real world.
I am already short so no.
Yes, absolutely. It's not like height defines their personality...😅
Of course! If she doesn't mind dating a shorter guy.
I'm only 5'5". Don't really have a height preference in girls but I probably wouldn't be attracted to a girl who's more than a feet shorter than me.
No. I'm 6' but I prefer girls around 5' to 5' 4" the most.
Nope lol never if he is shorter than me then he is short for a man and no that is not what I want at all.
Sorry but I find it highly unattractive
Dated taller and shorter. I don't get the big deal. Getting hung up on it honestly is stupid, but to each their own. Just don't regret it if that's your deal breaker.
Also, LoL when someone says they would never. Then someone with high status comes along and everyone changes their rules... OK.
I don't know I wouldn't care how tall she is I can't datet hough ha 5'6 look like a kid because I can't grow facial hair maby if I win the lottery I'll be worth enough maby
I can date a taller girl than me.
But no tooo tall...😆
naaa mate thats disgusting it makes you look more of a man than him rather stay single
I'm 6'5, if it's intimidating 6'4. If she managed to be taller, I'd date just for the novelty.
Do girls ever look intmidated by you being that tall?
In they look intmidated in the face
I would because I probably wouldn't even notice it unless the person has a foot on me.
@sparkdog I'm 5 10" and like I said. I have no preference at all.
Don't listen to the female comments because it's actually a big deal, if not a great deal. It's like females saying they want 'nice guys' then next thing you know they're chasing bad boys etc.
It's bs honestly...
What I mean is females chat shit, never ever listen to what they say. You want to know what women want and care for in a man? Simply look at who they're f**king. You honestly don't see many short men with women unless they're either very good looking or rich.
What do you want me to say? You're good looking so don't worry about it... I'd definitely choose your face over the one I have now that's for sure lol (I'm an incel).
Sure, but where am I gonna find one that's 7' ttall?
Yes, tall girls don't make me feel threatened because they're still just girls.
i am 5ft8 almost 18 year old :D honestly i dont see tall girls but if i try to get girl number will rejected me because of my height...
I'm sure everyone in this opinions section is enjoying being aggressively opinionated in response to this divisive question.
No, I’m short anyway so a guy who’s shorter than me would be a dwarf.
Im tall (6'33) and I would like a girl in my height or taller
I'm 6'3" and attracted to shorter girls, mostly 5'4" and shorter. So I would have to say no.
I don't know maybe few inches taller or 2 inches shorter. I am only 5 ft 7 inches tall.
My girl was taller than me in heels and it didn’t bother me or her.
@sparkdog I’m 6’1 and she’s about 6ft
I don't get these comments. Many females have refused to get with me because of how short I am (5ft7) and they were either shorter or same height as me. I think it's all bs again tbh...
No I would I don’t wanna have to bend to to hug or kiss them and tall guys are cute.
I want a girl who is same in height as me. or shorter.
but taller girl will not look good with me
I don't see why not. Though by a rule, 6 inches below or 3 inches above. That's the cut off because I'm 5'8
Yes, I would. One of my male friends was 5'6"; he dated a girl who was 6' and married a woman who was 5'9".
I once pursued a girl who was 3" taller than myself.
