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.
Thank you :)

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.
5'9 is not so difficult. I don't think I have to look up so much. Maybe a little goofy if we danced but you know, I'll just overcompensate somehow being extra macho. I never minded the idea of dating girls much taller than me but I never got the chance since I'd kind of goof it up when I approached.
Actually, that super tall Russian girl expressed an interest in me later. I just kind of retreated and by that point I got a different girlfriend.
I have dated girls who were the same height as me and with high heels on, quite a bit taller. I don't mind. Might look funny but who cares. The only problem that stopped me from dating naturally much taller ones is that I kind of panicked each time I tried to hit on a girl looming over me.
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.
I am six feet seven inches tall, so finding a woman taller than I, is quit rare, But if I did, it would be hard to date a woman taller than myself. It would just be to odd. if she was taller than normal, even close to my height I would welcome that, even seek her out.
I am six feet tall, but I don't know I always has a thing for shorter girls , it doesn't mean I don't like tall girls. it's just shorter girls look cute. But usually it doesn't matter for guys overall , we men don't care about height that much. It's just my preference that I usually fall for shorter girls. It can be different for someone else. So don't think that much , be comfortable in your skin that matters the most for we people
Dating a girl who's taller than me, probably not because I'm 6'4 and of strong build as well, so nah, no one taller than me, if they are shorter than me by 3-4 feet yeah sure, but not taller than me at the least. I just wouldn't feel comfortable I guess, but if no one likes my opinion I'm open for suggestions feel free to do so.
so 5'9 isn't that bad, it's a good height
I’ve dated a girl who was 5 or so inches taller than me. But now I’m 6’3, I wouldn’t care if the person was taller or shorter. If I like someone, it’s because of their look and personality.
Well it's rare that women actually would be taller then me. Long women is prefered but if she end up being like a head taller then me it would be as impractical as a very short girl.
I’m 5’7” my ex is 5’11”... then extra inches made some sex positions impossible... but hey we’re dating for years.
Normally I don't respond to Anonymous postings, but I have to say, anyone that is concerned with you being 5'9" with that body has to be the most insecure male in your neighborhood. My address is... LOL.
Maybe. I honestly prefer if she's my height or shorter in 5"+ heels. So once we're creeping above average height, then she's got to have either an absolutely killer body to compensate for her height or a personality that's fits mine perfectly.
Why the hell would I care about her height? Of all the things that I look for, that is not even on the list.
A woman's height does not matter very much to me. My first girlfriend and I were the same height.
I was in 11th grade and she was in 12th. We were both 5'7". I'm now 5'10".
You passed my physical requirements.
I am 5"11
Would totally date you and if you pass mental requirements and education level..
You get my commitment..
Of course. Girls been the same size actually makes a lot stuff more practical anyway. I am 6ft and 5'9 would work perfectly there.
Most guys care very little as long as they are taller, and masses of guys are taller than you so I wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah, I'm only like 170cm and have dated two women who were over 180cm. I personally give zero fucks about height.
Sure.
I'm 6'2", my wife is 5'4".
I've never dated anyone taller but I was always open to it.
I would have dated 6'5" girls.
I am whatever 1.95m tall is in your language and if I ever found a girl taller than me I'd probably high five her and then date her 🤷♀️
Tall women are very attractive. Short women not as much. So yeah women that are as talk as me or taller are attractive. However, I've never even met a woman taller than me.
Duck yeah i would. I once dated a girl that was 6 foot 6 and im 6 foot 2.
That girl gave me the tall girl fetish
If I was single I would date someone taller than me but that means she would be 6-1/2’ tall. Don’t give up. There are men who will date tall women.
m I would not have any problem dating someone that's 6"2"
I would. I dated somebody who was 5'11". She was almost as tall as me. It would not bother me at all.
They do. Don't worry.
Yes, I do not care much about height.
But I gotta be honest, if it is a huge difference, like if she is 190cm tall or something, then it's a bit of turn off.
I generally don’t prefer that but I’m also 6’3 and I tend to think girls taller than me look weird
I have dated women almost as tall as me. Two more inches wouldn't make a difference.
My prom date was six three, I'm only six two (around here that's average).
@FoxnEagle
Cincinnati , ever wonder why UC Bearcats always have such a good team? It's because they have lots of people to choose from.
I was the second shortest guy in my highschool.
Never felt tall in my life till I moved to Colorado. Now I feel like Gulliver.
@FoxnEagle got lost in Taos at 3am in the way to Colorado springs. Stopped and asked a cop parked on the side of the road directions. I must have woken him up as he wasn't happy and sent me the wrong direction!
I don't know... Iv e never had this problem... my brother is short and he says he's stopped even trying to pick up a taller woman...
I'm ok with it. And I think a lot of guys are ok with it.
But most women want a guy that's taller.
I would date you though are are taller than me
If I really like you I won't care for the height , if you are open minded, caring, and not racist , I would date you :)
It wouldn't matter but I like girls that are shorter than me but I'm 5' 11". You look like a very attractive girl, I don't think you'll have a problem.
I don't care about height, but most girls that say they don't care about height care about mine. Even if I was single I would assume you'd turn me down due to height.
I find it to be a turn on ! It gives you presence :)
Im 5'11" and i would definitely date a female taller that me! Its pretty sexy for a female to be talker even tho I've never dated one.
I would never marry a girl who is taller than me. The girl has to be at least my height or shorter. It’s not possible for a guy to marry a girl who is taller than him.
yep i a a prefer taller girls. I’m 5’10 and have been with girls my height before but i’ve always wished i was like 6’4 so i had a chance with the pretty 6’0 volleyball girls lol
If that's you, i'd date you for sure and im an inch and half taller, that's all. You gotta start meeting basketball or volleyball players. They're usually taller. hehe
Sure, I’ve dated a few girls my height or a little taller. Doesn’t bother me
I'm over 6'1" so it's rare for me to find a women taller than me, but yeah heigh isn't an issue for me, I'd still date them.
I had no objection.. She did. She even made it known every time I took her out. She used me as a foot stool one day when I was tying my shoes
Not really, but i dunno, if ill find a tall girl out there that i fell in love with, but would prefer same height at the maximum
