Yes! Absolutely! The problem is, most girls, tall or short, tend to only want tall guys. It sucks if you're not tall yourself. So going after girls taller than you is almost guaranteed to be a rejection. 96% chances of failure, specifically. That's why most guys, who don't care about height, go after shorter girls. Statistically, it's just better odds.
Girls are the ones who put such massive importance on height. Tall guys also like short girls too (because most equate height with masculinity), but not to the level all girls place on male height. It's more of a minor preference. Guys who aren't tall seem to be open to any height of girl, especially really attractive ones with nice personalities.
So, to think of it as a Punnet Square, Tall Girls (5'9" and over) like Tall Guys (6'1" and over). Short Girls (5'6" and under) like Tall Guys. Tall Guys like Short Girls, and most girls in the world are short, meaning statistically more attractive girls are short than attractive girls who are tall (like OP). Short Guys (under 6') aren't in any position to be picky and will take any girls, but no girls like short guys.
As far as what women say, even the ones who *claim* they don't care about height will take the 6'1"/185 cm guy over the 5'7"/170 cm guy, no questions asked. It's a bit unfair. I'm only 180 cm, so I've been sh*t left and right by girls for being too short for them. No girl wants a guy she's eye-to-eye with in heels, or taller than.
As for you OP, just based on your openness and seemingly genuine desire for a relationship, I would date you. That last sentence you said is a HUGE turn-on and really rare among women, especially young women who are under 35. That alone implies you're a kind, decent woman and would be good girlfriend material, in my opinion. Your height and good looks are just an awesome extra bonus. The problem is, between me and a 6'5"/195 cm Chad, would I even stand a chance in reality? (I mean, you can always PM me, if I'm wrong. 😉)
I am 6'1 and I don't know why the height of 6ft was ever considered that tall, I mean, I am taller than a lot of girls but almost every guy is the same height or taller and some girls, a small minority are the same height or taller.
I find short girls to look cute from previous crushes I had, something about the fact I get to pick them up and the fact they are so small just makes me think cute and attractive, so I would love to date someone like that.
I have also had a crush on a tall girl that was in fact taller than myself, I happen to have a thing for long legs and this girl had seriously long legs, she had the personality of a writer though, she always was fixated on reading and writing, if I caught her at lunch or in class then she would talk to me happily about other interests and we got along really well, but the moment she was left to her own devices she was just reading and writing, she also had a very teacher like aura about her for some reason because she was always so calm, never got angry, very straight faced, walked formally and everyone came to her to learn if they needed help.
I stopped crushing on her because I realised that we just didn't click at all, we just got along as classmates and nothing more.
But yes, regarding height, I would be happy to date someone of either height, taller or shorter, I think it is more in the guy world that height matters more, I don't recall many short guys in my school getting any girls, it was always the tallest guys, height of a guy is more important for guys to get relationships due to girls preferences of a guys height I believe.

u I am 5' 9". I have dated a girl who was also 5' 9". I use online sites and have approached a few women who were taller than me and all turned me down because they wanted a man taller than them.
I've dated a 5'9" girl and I'm 5'10.
It's a bit embarrassing but I've tried to ask girls much taller than me out, and I'm talking much taller than 5'9. The problem is that I never practiced enough to get the hang of feeling all confident looking up at a girl who is like 6'3.
Like one time I was at a friend's party and it was in his English classroom (he was an English teacher). And so he had the drinks in a corner and you had to climb a miniature staircase to get there consisting of 3-4 steps.
So I was making myself a drink and I spotted a super gorgeous beauty while making myself a drink. She looked very tall but I didn't realize how tall. She was hovering below the staircase.
So I walked down the staircase all eager to get my game on and be smooth and try to ask her out on a date and so I stepped down the 3-4 steps only to find she's hovering over me. I'm a measly 173cm (5'7) but she was over 2 meters tall! Like my face was level with her boobs.
And all of a sudden I just got really nervous and all I could come up with was like, "Hey, wanna make moderately tall babies together?" Then responded with a very thick Russian accent said, "You are cute!" and patted me on the head. Then I excused myself and climbed back up the stairs and made a hasty retreat to the bar and started slamming down shots feeling all embarrassed and stupid.
I'm married now but I figured the next time I encounter one of those super tall women, I should bring a foot stool along. Then I can stand on the stool and meet her eye-to-eye and then hit on her.
I'm 6' 9"!! Where am I gonna find a girl taller than me? I've looked under every rock and haven't found one, yet!!
I think any guy would (or at least SHOULD) feel lucky to have a girl as pretty as you!! I know I would! Strangely, the reason girls wear high heels is to make their legs look long!! Well, you've already GOT that!! So, why should a guy shun you for that?
One thing that actually scares guys off is if a girl is very pretty! 9 t9mes out of 10, guys are gonna instantly think, "I don't stand a chance in hell with her being my girlfriend!! she's probably already got a boyfriend and several more lined up waiting for their turn!! Maybe you can try going after the guy. Passively, not like, "COME HERE, BABY!!! I WANT YOU!!!" Find a guy you think you might like and just HAPPEN to go over to him and talk with him a bit. "That's a really cool shirt!", etc.. Just idle chit chat.
Back in `85, when I was in college, I was outside sitting by myself between classes when, all of a sudden, this INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS girl came over and sat next to me and said, "Hi! I've been wanting to meet you! I saw you in the lunch room the other day and I thought you were a really cool guy!!" We never got as far as being lovers but, we DID a become VERY close within the next few weeks!! Kinda like brother & sister.
Hell yeah long as she don't play basketball ball i mean those gals link like they should be at Santa Anita or Kentucky derby instead of trotting up and down a basket ball court, but shit taller shorter long as she likes good and have a cool personality, i don't care, even if she was a fine ass midget, ever see some of those midgets they got more ass that a girl from the hood, and sex can do that while cutting the lawn at same time, just need to strengthen those bags you carry a baby with you know the one where the baby is on your chest just lower it a bit throw the midget In there and there you go can walk around having sex with a midget, wonder will that really work got to get a midget
Absolutely. Sexy comes in all shapes and sizes.
People are attracted to what they are attracted to.
Some like tall
Some like small
Some don't care and like them all.
There are plenty of people out there who like tall women and you can trust my expert opinion when I tell you that you are pretty hot. You may also have to deal with insecurity issues if someone likes to be taller than their date, but seriously, there are too many others who are going to love you just the way you are to settle for that.
Most guys don't care much about how tall a girl is- FOR THEIR OWN SAKE. But most women- not all, but most- want a guy who's taller than them. Where it gets tricky is that most women are capable of logic and reason, and are willing to accept a guy who isn't perfect- but 1. a lot of current cultural messages say you shouldn't settle for anything less than perfection, and 2. guys know this. Most guys aren't as emotionally driven in relationships as women are, but we don't like heartbreak any more than you do, and many will balk if they think she's going to only hang around briefly before moving on to someone taller. It's rather self-defeating, but it's understandable to want to avoid getting hurt.
Now personally, I see the value in dating someone who doesn't have to jump to kiss me. But I've said on this site before that "If need be, I can buy her a ladder", and if need be (not likely at 6'3", but if need be), I can buy one for myself.
Yeah I noticed over the past years I kind of started notice I liked dating women taller than average, my height or even taller than me (I’m 5’10).
I used to not care about height but then I started to lean towards taller women because I think over time I started to get annoyed by women who were 5’1 to 5’4 saying I was hitting the minimum of their height requirements which made me laugh.
Nonetheless I found taller women attractive too so they’re fair game 😏
"I really don't care about height and weight and looks"
If that's you in the picture, most you'll have to worry about is your attitude and how picky you are.
You may also have to do some first moves yourself if the guy is shorter than you; the rule of thumb is that women always go for taller men and some men will just assume they don't have a chance with you.
I mean 5'9 is kinda normal for girls here, but yes there are lotta guys that would date girls that are taller. Obv also some that wouldn't but you should be completely fine. If it really won't work for you, you can always move to Europe and suddenly you won't feel like you're way too tall anymore :^)
Yeah.
I actually wrote a myTake describing my ideal, dream girl and she would be taller than me, it juat seems sweet.
In theory, a taller girl is ideal, but unless a girl is like a dwarf or something, I don't think height is a dealbreaker for me, whether she's around my height of 159cm or 6'4, I don't think I'd care that much.
I absolutely would. I'm 6'0" and I would date and/or marry a girl who was much taller than me. I don't get guys who feel intimidated, "emasculated" or "less of a man" by being with someone taller than him. I think it's ridiculous. I'd happily date a girl who was 6'4", 6'10" or even 7'6" for that matter. Just like I'd date someone much shorter than me as well. Because, height doesn't measure heart. 💙👍
Yes absolutely! A woman being taller doesn't make me any less of a man. Much like a woman making more than me. If we are in a relationship it's to make each other a better person and make each other happy. Height is the one of the last things I think about when it comes to appearance
While I prefer smaller girls, it's not really a dealbreaker.
Though, it does remind me of a friend who had the same concern and told me about it. My joking reply was "does it matter how tall you are when you are on your back?". Essentially saying that height really isn't a priority to most guys.
I had a crush in my early teens with this girl that was built just like you skinny and tall and i was like 5 inches shorter than her. I was insecure but its thanks to my parents saying no girl will date a shorter man than themselves. But if the girl loves you back its not an issue
Almost certainly, it is a matter of your looks; not your height, and since you are not attracting the guys you want, you blame your height as the reason. A study done in 2002 showed that among top editorial fashion agencies in Los Angeles and New York, 81% of their “editorial fashion” models were 5’9” and above; 15% were between 5’8” and 5’9”, and only 4% were below 5’8” tall (newmodels. com). And, fashion models don't lack for dates.
I think you're asking the wrong question. It's generally women who have the most to say about their potential partner's height. Not men. You may be having issues because men assume you'll think less of them if they aren't at least 3 - 4 inches taller than you are.
i have just finished doing this and dated at least 3 times and she was 5ft 10 inch and i at 5ft 5 inches and we had a great time. Sometimes people need to let old hang ups go and give a man a chance and perhaps it is her who is the perfect fit for you in a relationship and perhaps the man for you. It has been known to work.
I’m 6’ 1” (without heels!), and my husband is 5’ 9”. He finds my height sexy, massages my feet and worships me regularly. A real man will love you and treat you like a Goddess!
I dated a 5’ 10’’ girl and I’m 6ft. It literally a non issue. Could care less.
Guys do NOT obsess over height the same way women do. Your 5’9’’ and fine. I’m sure you can find a handsome guy out there.
