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

Question

AmandaYVR · Accepted Answer

Such a hot topic these days!
I like that someone asked you why you were asking, and it was about your girl friend who rejected a guy slightly shorter.
I personally always see it as being about proportion (one person to the other), and I have heard this from many others as well. (I think it might be similar to men talking about breast size on women - the good guys say they are very flexible and open to many sizes, so long as the breasts are proportional to her overall figure - men, do you generally agree?)
I would always also prefer to be with a man taller than me, but not a lot taller. I married someone my same height (and we are average height). And to be completely honest, when a woman is with a man the same height (and shorter, I would imagine), from a distance or in the dark, people sometimes do mistake the other person for another female. So, like if you go to a dimly restaurant for dinner in the evening, it's not very pleasant when the hostess accidentally says, "Right this way, Ladies." This has happened to me many times. And then once they notice their mistake they often are embarrassed, but there's nothing really to say at that point. Mostly this happens because of height and stature, but it has also happened when the man's hair is longer.
Also, women (and probably all people) do feel physically a bit safer when with a larger person standing next to them. This is no news to anyone - larger framed people feel less vulnerable.
So I do think it's shallow and vain to choose partners based on things like height. And I don't do that. But in defence of some people, there is a biological component of greater safety to it, and it is understandable to feel very uncomfortable when gender mistakes are made. I just have different priorities (personality and compatability being paramount), and don't believe in bowing to societal pressures. Live your life, I say. And I'd rather have a fascinating and fun person to talk to than it be all about superficial things one can't change. You can only look at a pretty picture for so long before getting kind of bored.

I wouldn’t mind, only because I’m like 5’7 1/2 and most guys are usually a bit shorter than me or a bit taller, but thankfully since I’m in my sophomore year of high school most of the boys FINALLY got their growth spirt, but like I said I wouldn’t mind as long as he isn’t shorter than like 5’2 or 5’3 something- even then the height difference would look kinda odd. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I've liked shorter guys before. One guy had a very attractive face and good personality and was super nice to me - another guy was insanely smart.

holograph · Accepted Answer

Yeah, no problem. I don't really have any "requirements" on someone's height, but I'd be a little bit more attracted over someone that is very tall over someone very short, all else equal. (But short is fine too.)

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Accepted Answer

How could any healthy person desire a midget? (In reference to that photo) I would, but she would really need to be special. I seem to be more attracted to women who are shorter than me.

abc3643 · Answer

Absolutely. In fact, I think that my 2nd girlfriend eventually grew to be taller than me while we were together.

CreativeMumble · Answer

No, I don't think I could.
I'm only 153 cm, he would have to be extremely short. And I'm not into guys that short.

I'm used to most people being taller than me. Heck, someone who's only 14 can easily be taller than me.

jackbenimble7 · Answer

Yes I would date someone taller than me but preferably not too much taller. I'm 5' 7" and I think once someone is over 6' 0" I start feeling like a child. That being said, if it feels like they're awesome in every other way, I hope I wouldn't let the height difference get in the way.

Anonymous · Answer

No I’d probably not date A guy shorter than me.

First I’m only 5’1” and I could probably count on one hand the number of guys I’ve met personally shorter than me

Second I don’t want to have tiny kids

Third , I’m not attracted to tiny guys.

Exotica08 · Answer

I did. I’m 5’11 and he was 5’7. I stopped noticing after a while.

kari0130 · Answer

I'm usually a same height or taller type of girl... I'm only 5'5 so I have quite a bit of wiggle room...

Buckzor · Answer

If she's only a little taller, sure. If it's pretty significant, then i'm more likely to say no than yes.

LordSnuggles · Answer

I'm 5'3. My ex was 5'11. It's all about personality and character. You're missing out on some great people over an immutable quality.

Anonymous · Answer

While I have a general height preference as well, it's never a "deal breaker". If I like her, yes of course. I'm not going to reject someone because of their height and something that they have no control over. There's more to a person than that.

ShadowofRegret · Answer

I prefer a taller woman for a multitude of reasons, shorter never really appealed to me personally.

LawrenceKen · Answer

No girl deserves to marry a manlet subhuman. Taller is always better.  I'm 6'3 so finding women my height is very hard, I wouldn't be opposed to it though.

Angie221994 · Answer

No. But then again I’m 4’11 so it’s hard to find a guy that’s shorter to begin with.

LifeEqualsLove · Answer

I have before but I wouldn’t again just personal preference

Inneedofusername · Answer

Yup, I definitely would. Look at any hot actor - girls would still be all over them even if they were short. It's not the height that matters. It's the face

salmonpudding · Answer

I'm 5'3 and it's rare I find men shorter than me. I don't really think I could do it since I'd feel more masculine. He would have to have a spot on personality tbh.

Anonymous · Answer

Heck yeah if he was decent human being but there aren't that many men shorter than me 5'1"

YetiG · Answer

Yeah sure. Especially since it's pretty rare to find a girl taller than 6'3 If a gal has a great personality, is taller than me, and genuinely likes me then of course

jgokgotit · Answer

Her heights does not matter to me. I am at the perfect height for dating women of almost any height. Even if a woman is taller than me it would not be by much.

Bman4907 · Answer

I dated a taller woman for a few months. Doggy style was like watching a great dane get humped by a corgi. Got a charley horse midway through because of how i had to stand. I'm 5'9" and she was 6'4" at the time, with my luck she grew another foot.

HotJealousy · Answer

I'm 6ft 2 so I'd only date shorter, taller than me would be... very tall 😂 Best height in my opinion is around 5ft 5

A-man-22 · Answer

Yes definitely I like tall women, it's my preference.

Burtonfan · Answer

Absolutely I would date a much taller woman. I love it when a pair of legs go all the way up and make an ass out of themselves!
Most men I know would
Men aren't as shallow about that. If she's fat too tho... nah.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Potentially, I am open to the idea. Theoretically: I will make a decision once the 'issue' turns up.

veikko · Answer

There are not a lot of girls taller than me, but I wouldn't really care either way about her height. It all comes down to her personality and face in my opinion.

Avicenna · Answer

Sure, I like tall women, so I'd be happy to date one taller than me.

I prefer shorter girls (I'm 5'7") but I don't have a rule about "not dating taller girls". It depends on the girl.

No. i am 5'10 , i would date girls with the same height but there is not much taller girls than me. I think if she is taller she would need to find taller guys, there is a bunch of them.

Lost_Artist · Answer

I'm quite short, i'm pretty much in the average height range for women, so i'm basically always the same size or shorter than the girls i meet.
Yet it might bother me if the girl is a giant to me, just for practical reasons ^^

MementoMori_ · Answer

As long as I am taller than her when we are lying down, I'm good. :D

i wouldn't prefer it but if she is overall awesome and attractive and just happens to be taller, that won't be an obstacle.

Vonspyder · Answer

I'm 6'4" I've literally never met a woman taller than me. If i did it wouldn't bother me (especially given that I'm a leg guy)

wavbaby · Answer

As long as he's not too short that's fine but I prefer taller guys

Passinggas · Answer

I would like to try taller. That would be an experience. My tallest to date is 6'2".

AvaMorales · Answer

Really depends on the guy. I would if he seems nice. I do know some girls who have dated guys shorter than them though.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Nope. And I don't even have to look for girls who are like 5'1. As long as she's shorter than me, it's all good.

Dated a 6'1" girl while I was 5'9" and she always wore heels. But there was nothing wrong with it, sometimes it was a little awkward but it all worked out. As long as they make you happy
