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


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.
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.)
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.
Because he is Tyrion Lannister 😍

Absolutely.
In fact, I think that my 2nd girlfriend eventually grew to be taller than me while we were together.
Because my friend rejected someone just because he was shorter than her 5cm and he is a very nice guy and he likes her

I would have dated her.
Well, while what your friend did may be shallow, it's not exactly uncommon and it is a legitimate reason. As a short guy myself, I never let my height bother me. Sure, some girls I might have wanted wouldn't have wanted me because of that, but that's fine - if they are that shallow, I probably wouldn't want them on personality grounds anyway. Still, it's something short guys need to accept and, instead of being douchebags about it, make up for it in other ways and women will notice.
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.
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.
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.
I hate to burst your bubble but if he carries a short gene your kids would still be tiny. Tall is dominant over short , do if he has a tall gene and short gene he will appear tall. however if you give a short gene and he gives a short gene your children will be short. you have no choice over this by the way. it happens at random
@Sparda20xx hate to burst your bubble but the best predictor of height for children is the height of each parent. There Is about an 80% correlation between average parent height and children’s height. As such it’s an excellent variable by which I can evaluate a potential mate.
You still don't understand genetics. there's a difference between phenotype and genotype. I mean I explained it Barney style and you still didn't get it, but let's try this again. you're short. you're boyfriend being tall doesn't mean he doesn't carry a short gene. If you use Mendalian genetics that means he would be Tt (heterozygous for tall ) and you would be tt homozygous for short. After doing a short square , the results would be Tt, tt, Tt, and tt. Meaning there's a 50% chance your kid would be short despite your boyfriend being tall. keep in mind this only Mendalian genetics. There are other factors outside of random reassignment of alleles that contribute to height such as epigentics.
Now let's not talk about the mu between genes , gene breakage , haplo insufficient genes dominant negative p53 etc. Etc.
@Sparda20xx I don’t need to understand genetics I need only understand probability and cause.
It is in fact true that the average height of the parents has a strong positive correlation to the average height of their children. Ie the taller avg height of the parents correlates to a talker act height of children. It’s well researched and documented and was true and proven long before human dna was sequenced.
I did not say that it is always true nor did I say it was the only factor. I merely said that partner height is an appropriate filter for selection of the height of children based on a simple unobtrusive visual check. Based on typical methods of mate selection it is one of the better methods of selection.
What do you think contributes to height. genetics. the probability of you receiving favorable genetics is probability and even that is based on random reassortmemt. so that tells me that you don't know understand either one lol
Also correlation and causality aren't the same thing. that probability of you having a tall child drastically decrease based on your genetis. If you have epigenetic problems that probability decrease even further. you can't say you understand probability if you don't know what is influencing said probability. Lol
I did. I’m 5’11 and he was 5’7. I stopped noticing after a while.
Thank you for being open minded
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...
If she's only a little taller, sure. If it's pretty significant, then i'm more likely to say no than yes.
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.
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.
I prefer a taller woman for a multitude of reasons, shorter never really appealed to me personally.
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.
No. But then again I’m 4’11 so it’s hard to find a guy that’s shorter to begin with.
I have before but I wouldn’t again just personal preference
Lmao, I wonder why
@OhmIsTyping Maybe it had to do with my own insecurities of wanting to feel smaller instead larger
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
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.
Heck yeah if he was decent human being but there aren't that many men shorter than me 5'1"
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
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.
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.
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
Yes definitely I like tall women, it's my preference.
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.
Potentially, I am open to the idea.
Theoretically: I will make a decision once the 'issue' turns up.
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.
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.
I would date a girl taller than me if we clicked and despite the flak we will both get for it.
Never dated someone taller but have dated/slept with the same height... won't be doing that again 😅
I’m 5’8 and I prefer guys taller than me, but I’ll go a few inches under my height if I really like them
Ugh this is the hot police... stop
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.
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 ^^
As long as I am taller than her when we are lying down, I'm good. :D
I married a woman two inches taller than I, so I guess that's a yes.
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.
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)
As long as he's not too short that's fine but I prefer taller guys
I would like to try taller. That would be an experience. My tallest to date is 6'2".
Really depends on the guy. I would if he seems nice.
I do know some girls who have dated guys shorter than them though.
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.
never really cared about a woman's height it's how hot her body is and how she treats me that's what counts
I would not want to date a guy who was shorter than me.
It seems like girls hate short guys for some reason
@SeanshterMonster It's awkward, especially when we want to wear heels.
Hm. Is there anything the short guy can do about it? Or will he just have to be lonley for the rest of his life.
@SeanshterMonster He should find a short woman.
Short wemon dont exist where I live. The average height for wemon in this town is 5'8". Its a very tall people kind of town.
@SeanshterMonster Maybe you should move, if finding someone is important to you.
Right. I wouldn't even know where to go though
@SeanshterMonster The place you live now is a minority. Women in almost all other places average at 5'4". So you have a lot of choices.
I would like to go to a good place though. Nothing run down.
A deal-breaker for me is if she smokes though, or does any drugs. (Deal-breakers mean a no go right?)
@SeanshterMonster Yeah, that's what deal-breaker means. What country do you live in? And how tall are you?
America. And 5'5"
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
Don't care. I've dated from under 5' to almost 6'5 (she was a beach volleyball player.) I'm 6'2
I wouldn't because finding such a girl is virtually impossible in my country.
I wouldn't mind if she is taller than me by an inch or two
i would date a guy taller than me. im 5'5 i go for 6'5 or over no shorter than that.
6'5"! Good luck with that, that is almost impossible. Somthing wrong with short guys then?
What? There are lots of guys shorter then 6'5" that are masculine, a lot of actors too. I knew a 6'6" gay guy that acted like a girl. So it's not height, its personality.
Right. It's sad though that literally like 99% of all females are like this. Meaning all short guys will be lonley for the rest of their lives to only have their hearts played with. Guys always get attacked for having preferences, but girls have it all the time. It's a mess now. there's no chace a guy like me will ever find someone because I'm short. Honestly I hate height discrimination but whatever. Relationships shouldn't be about their physical appearance, it should be about love and personality.
I'm 5'5". I wasn't offended. Just saying the truth of the world.
Right
Idc, the womans personality is more important. So I dont jump to conclusions when it comes to height because that doesn't mean anything for who they are. So I wouldn't care if their 6' or 5', as long as they gave a caring, understanding, loving, open minded personality, then why not give them the chance those people deserve. People shouldn't be judged based on their height, people shouldn't just assume who they are based on it. I think it's wrong. So why not give that kind of person the chance. That's what I think.
I prefer one shorter, but I could date a taller girl
I don’t care what height she is as long as weight proportional.
If she's got to be taller, I want what Dinklage has--motorboating height!
Never met a girl taller than me, so I have no idea (6'7, 200cm)
I actually have never thought of height when it came to dating
No, I don't think I would, but you never know! Never say never!
do I look like a resource junkie to you? lol
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'd date a girl if she was a little taller. Some tall girls try to wear the pants though. That's always hard to overcome for the guy.
Hell yeah tall women are sexy.
Couple of inches taller is fine, not someone too tall.
Yes I would and did already years ago , the girl was like 6,1 i am 5,7 i didn't bother nor did she
I guess I would but I don't know any so it doesn't really matter if I would.
Lol Im 5ft1
If he's shorter than me, he's a midget lol
So no
@-Asca- no I'm not you dickhead
4 ft 10 in
In men and women, the sole requirement for being considered a dwarf/midget is having an adult height under 147 cm (4 ft 10 in)
@-Asca- get your facts right before saying stupid shit
@-Asca- I bet you're short for a guy and woman likes you, that's why you're butt hurt HAHAHA
No woman*
Why are you so mad? I indeed had no idea what height is required for someone to be officially a midget, so I just trusted you. Apparently a guy who's 5' is not a midget either, so GeT yOuR fAcTs RiGhT. I just wanted to remind you that since you're (almost) a midget yourself you maybe shouldn't judge others for (almost) being midgets lmao.
Just for the record I'm 6'1 so I don't see any difference between you and a midget anyway.
@-Asca- I'm SHORT. Not a midget/dwarf.
There's a difference.
Idiot.
@-Asca- and all my exes are over 6ft
My current boyfriend is 6ft4
WAY TALLER THAN YOU.
And he doesn't give a shit about my height.
@-Asca- and for your information:
In men and women, the sole requirement for being considered a dwarf is having an adult height under 147 cm (4 ft 10 in)
Please do your research before you talk nonsense and look like a major idiot.
@-Asca- women who are under 5ft5 but taller than 5ft are SHORT.
They are not midgets, are they?
Idiot.
I've seen many tall guys dating women between those ranges.
Its normal.
They wouldn't date her if she was a fuckn dwarf/midget.
Just because you're 6ft doesn't mean shit.
