Do guys have height preference too? I'm just 5'1 without heels?

[Anonymous]

Like most of the girls want 6'+ tall guy, Do guys have height preference too?

[MCheetah]

No. Not really. Only tall guys ever really bring up height; they want short girls (5'6" and under). Most guys (that is, short guys) do not have height preferences. However, girls do, and girls tend to want nothing to do with guys under six feet tall. So some guys will avoid going after girls their height or taller because of the statistically likely rejection. But other than that, the majority of guys do not care about female height as long as the girls aren't extremely short (under 5') or abnormally tall (6' and over).

Anything starting with a "five" is considered "female height" in modern society, so pretty much 5' to 5'11" (153 to 180 cm) is acceptable female height to most guys. 5'7" is considered the ideal female height for most men, as it's neither tall, nor short. Women, on the other hand, want men to be 6' minimum if they're not short women, or 5'10" minimum if they are short women. It's kind of a crappy double standard.

But while most men don't care about height and 99% of women fall into acceptable height range for them (compared to only 20% of men, regarding female preferences), men DO care more about body size and figure. So one could argue men care about her "weight" in the same equally shallow way women care about men's height. At least, you can change your weight, however.

I, personally, like tall girls the most because I'm short and despise it. I don't want to be with "another shortie" because it feels like settling and "having to stick with my own kind." It's embarrassing.

*My* ideal girl is 191 cm, which is a little over 6'3". *I* like tall girls; between 5'9" and 6'5". In an ideal world, I would be 6'5" myself. Unfortunately, I am six inches away from that, and will always be stuck in the "girl zone" of human size and stature. Down here with all the women and children. I loathe it. But at the very least, maybe I could balance things out with a "male sized" feminine and pretty female partner, for a nice balance of sorts.

Thanks for the Most Helpful Guy.

To me this is a bizarre question. I've never once in my entire life ever heard of any guy who cares how tall a girl is unless she's taller than he is.

Then again, I read the responses from guys on here who supposedly have a preference. I dont know that shit doesn't make any damn sense to me. Since fucking when do guys give a shit how tall a girl is?

I dont care how tall afucking girl is. If she's cute, if zhes sexy, that's all that matters in the looks department. What guy would ever reject a girl cuz she wasn't tall enough or too short? I can't even fuckin imagine such a thing.

[MCheetah]

Short guys care about height preference, since short guys get rejected the most, and tall guys care about it because they think tallness = masculinity.

[HiveBee]

I feel like that has to be some kind of tiny minority of weirdos lol.

[lexiflexs]

Right? I thought short or tall guys just like attractive women.

[hi_it_is_me123]

Guys dont have height preference, they have age preference. As long as you are young and fit, you are good. I wish it would be opposite. I rather want guys to care more about looks than age since you are only young for a short time and it is over for you, if you dont find a good man during this short time. So it scares me so much to not be young anymore.
Women care more about male height

[Aassem]

you're not completely right, yeah in general being youthful is preferred, but I'd take a better looking older any day, I mean if you're 30 and you seem to age like Shakira I would choose you over more than 80% of the 20 yo girls out there. And I do prefer taller women around 5'8", but my real preference is a woman who takes good care of herself.

[Jessica405]

Seems to me that us girls, that are 5' up to 5' 2", are really desirable to some guys. Just as I prefer guys that are over 6'.

[gotc147]

Truth.

Can't really explain it, I'm 6'2" and prefer girls 5'4" and under lol.

[Jessica405]

Thank you for MHG!

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, SOME guys have a height preference, just like SOME guys have a preference for boob size. Some like 'em small, some like 'em medium, some like 'em large, and some have no preference.

Most of the women I have been with long term have been 5' 0" to 5' 2".

[Apope16]

Most guys dont have a height preference as long as the girl isn't taller than them. I am okay with a lady being taller than my 5ft 9 inch frame as long as she is only an inch taller or so.

There is a difference between height for a relationship and height just to sleep with a gal. If it is just to sleep with her then height doesn't matter. But if it is a relationship then status comes into play and all that. Then it matters a bit.

[JackSmy]

I like WHO she is, and how we relate! I don't have any height issues, or desires, just that she isn't uncomfortable that I am a bit over six feet!
I have dated, and loved some delightfully snuggly, short ladies, and there is something to be said for the cold winters, and spooning, and holding her close, and keeping her warm. :)
But I have also dated a few that were my height, and one a little taller, and of course they wore heals, teasing me, on our dates! But I don't care!! It's about the person, and how we relate.

[oldasIfeel22]

For some reason many women have a hard fixed biological belief that a mans height makes him more “alpha”. I’m not sure how a mans height served him back in the caveman days. I’m 6ft and I really don’t care. I also noticed that the majority of short guys are usually smartasses and fast on their feet. It’s Gods/natures way of giving them an advantage to compensate for other problems.

Anyway I’ve always liked short and petite girls. But it’s always been very low on my priority list. The last girl I dated was 5’ 10’’. I didn’t bother me one way or another.

Ladies the only thing you should care about is if the guy is taller than you. Period.

[ZackBan]

You really just casually gave cute a whole new meaning while asking about something else like that?

Well I think for guys any height is good enough as long it's not taller than them. The taller the guy the more true this is.

I for one am 6'3 and I don't feel comfortable with a girl that's taller than that it feels like we're too giants out on a stroll. But from bellow there is no limit she can be as short as can be.

[TwistedTube]

I mean. I personally really find short girls cute. 4'11-5'1. But I'm fine with any height, don't see why it would ever bother any guy. Yes, I'd be fine with the woman being taller too.

For the people that think your own height defines preference; I'm 6'0/183 cm

[Berethor]

Not as much as girls, but many guys prefer girls who are shorter than themselves.

[GunnzzNRoses]

i'm 5'5, and I like women who are 5'7/8+, ideally over 5'10. don't get me wrong, short girls can get loving too (my second girlfriend was 5'0 even), but I do like women to be a little if not considerably taller then myself.




Why, you ask? Legs.

[MTC29]

I'm 5-10 (178 centimeters for the rest of the planet), which is about the average height for an American man. I've dated a few women as tall as myself, but 5-2 to 5-4 seems to be a common height for women. You're a bit shorter, but not so much than a man would pay attention. Besides, you're so cute that no man would how tall you are.

[Leavesbound]

I don't reject people over their size or the size of any of their body parts. In fact a girl's height does not enter into the equation at all. You could be 3 feet tall (over 18) or 8 fee tall and it would make no difference to me though I concede that there may be some logistical issues if there is a lot of height difference.

[Xitomyth]

I can't speak for men as a whole, but for myself, I usually don't have a height preference. I'm 5'4" so I'm a little short, but I don't usually look at height with a girl, as long she's not like less than 4' I'm fine with whatever it is, be it short, tall, or in between.

[JDavid25]

"Like most of the girls want 6'+ tall guy, Do guys have height preference too?"..
That's impossible only 14% of guys are 6 ft let alone 6 ft+.. Many women prefer guys 3-5 inches taller than them.. Me though? I prefer taller women up to maybe 5'10" between 5'7 and 5'10 would be my preference.. But it's just a loose preference.. I don't usually discriminate..

[Birdlegs]

Gah damn 5’10 you better start watching the WNBA my boy😂

[JDavid25]

@Birdlegs Why should I do that exactly? The tall women in the WNBA just like the NBA are very rare.. LOL.. Most women are not even 5'7 unless you live in a city with Millions of people..

[MLGbreezy]

I'd say yes most guys like girls who are shorter than them I'd say. But how short depends, and ofc there are exceptions. I came to realize I've got a very specific type I like petite girls with a fat ass and we'll the personality Ill leave for another time but yeah.

[CallmeTheKnight]

I do, because I will never date a midget. Being 5'8 I Don't mind a woman being 4'11 or even 6'4. It all comes down to the personality and women can attest to that as well. You wouldn't want a guy that's 6 or 7 ft tall that's has a brain of a bag of bricks and smells horrible.

[kamalravi25]

Yes if in arranged marriage i do wish that a girl whom i will marry comes under my desired height range.
This is just my wish not any strict preference because I don't want the society to disrespect my wife and ask her anything regarding her height and make her feel worthless.
Because she will get hurt.

[TomGarand]

For me, anything shorter than 5 feet is too short. Although for me, the ideal height for a woman is 5'9-6'4. Like, a woman being short isn't a dealbreaker, but tall women tend to be physically stronger. Physical strength attracts me.

I'm 5'6, by the way.

[ChiTown33]

Not really. I mean I prefer women 5'5" and under but that's just probably because shorter women tend to show more interest in me than taller women. But at the end of the day it's just height or lack thereof. I'm 6'5" so what I dislike is women who I feel are interested in me simply for my height.

[Guccigabbana18]

Nope a lot of guys like short girls. Some like tall girls. I think the only time it’d be different is if you’re REALLY tall or short, like 4’7 or 6’0. But you’re bound to at any height find someone who’s attracted to both you and your height.

[Bellatris]

So you're dainty and petite. I'm sure many guys (and some girls too) would find you really attractive, really cute. Height isn't really that important, so I don't know why you would only want someone over 183 cm.

[DeltaCharlieEcho]

We do but it is basically just be shorter than us. It’s not the same thing women have where they don’t actually know what they want so they piece metrics together based on what other women claim to find attractive because other women told them that it’s what they found attractive.
