Does height matter in dating?

[Anonymous]

It matters

2" is fine

Not a deal breaker

[MCheetah]

To women. ABSOL-F*CKING-LUTELY! Mainly only to women.

[t-8900]

I could have sworn I told you about my 5'4 friend marrying a 5'7 girl lol

[MCheetah]

@t-8900
Yeah, but anecdotal evidence from one person is irrelevant, especially considering I'm far from the only short guy who's held back because of it. This is a common thing.

[t-8900]

You're not short. The national average for men in the USA is 5'10 😆

[MCheetah]

@t-8900
Please don't insult me like that. I don't like it when people call me that word.

I'm short. I can admit it, at least. I fucking HATE IT. But I can be honest about it.

[t-8900]

You're taller than th vast majority of my taken friends. That's all I can say i guess. Most of my male friends are like 5'8ish

[Anonymous]

I’ve mostly dated taller guys, up to a foot taller than me or 10 inches. However, It wasn’t really the height that attracted me. More so their personality and face.
Im talking to this one guy, Not too sure what his height is, but he looks less than 6ft tall. Not an issue whatsoever. He is handsome, kind, and has a great personality.. Exactly what I look for.

[Cherry234]

It matters to me to an extent. I want a guy that's taller than me or at least my height and that's not difficult to find at my height. I want to be either eye level or look up at my man. Doesn't matter if he's short though, I just don't want him to be shorter than me.

[t-8900]

what is your height actually?

[Cherry234]

@t-8900 I'm 5'5.

[t-8900]

thats actually perfect height if I was gonna be choosey about that sort of thing lol. but height doesn't matter too much to me so long as they are a great person. Although my absolute cut off is 4'10 and that was honestly a one off. More like 5'1 tbh. XD

[Cherry234]

@t-8900 I'm not very picky but I don't like the idea of dating someone shorter than me. I'm more than willing to date anyone under 6' that I like. But both physical attraction and personality are important to me.

[t-8900]

absolutely, without a doubt. Personality first then looks but that doesn't mean looks aren't very important to me too. It doesn't make you shallow we are wired a certain way, no shame in that. I consider ideal height for me 5'6 (I'm 6'3). If she's average looking I'd still go for her if her personality shined through. But I can't go below to sub average. It's just one of those things and it sucks because I've met some very wonderful women that I just can't myself to find interest in based on looks. It honestly y'know is what it is.

[lonestar_01]

Depends on who you ask. I've been with girls within the height range of 1.48m-1.82m range, I'm 1.85m myself. Personally, I wouldn't date anyone below 1.48m or over the 1.82m mark, but that's just me. Each to their own

[Slee93]

Personally I am very tall for a girl, and I live in a place where often guys are shorter, same height or slightly taller than me. I don’t feel attracted to guys that are not noticeably taller than me, which means at least 190 cm. This said, most all my female friends are much much shorter than me, like 160 cm, so for them, a guy who is 170 would be much taller, even if he’s shorter than me. So I guess every guy has a chance, even if he’s short, but maybe with shorter girls. Lately a guy who was as tall as me hit on me very aggressively and when I told him I wasn’t interested (for a number of reasons including the very annoying way he was hitting on me), he got mad and started accusing me of having rejected him because he was short. Guys, if you have this complex, please just don’t hit on girls who are 180. Thanks.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I'm 5'11. My boyfriend is 5'4. He loves being at boob height. No one can tell him a damn thing when he hugs me and they're in his face

[t-8900]

i bet he does lol. Good on you for giving him the shot!

[Sirenboobzilla]

@t-8900 man makes me ugly laugh very often. Also a fking amazing cook. I hit the jackpot!

[t-8900]

thats great! Glad its working out for you. People who think height matters that much... I'm 6'3 and single and shit luck so far lmao

[MCheetah]

@Sirenboobzilla
You remind me of my ex fianceé. I was at her boob height too when she was in high heels (which she generally didn't like, but I bought her a pair for her birthday). I'm short, but she was tall, and in 3" heels, was 6'6".

Wish more girls were as open-minded as you and her, but generally, short men are a dealbreaker for Western women. Not that I don't understand why girls wouldn't want to date guys under 6'.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I've never understood those girls. Like, I was at a point where I was really self conscious about my height. I was taller than all of my friends. And of course I'd get picked on about from time to time. Why would I want to do that to anyone else? With our height difference, haven't had any trouble doing anything other couples do

[readyplayer001]

not to me at 4'11 i would date someone shorter, i dont care what other people think, i care about how we are together. one of my guy friends is 4'8 and married to a 5'6 woman, so it doesn't matter to some of us

[Jemini_Crocket]

It does in a certain amount, not gonna lie. I wouldn't want to date someone who is shorter than me and I do want someone taller than me, doesn't matter if he's 5'10 or 6'4, just needs to be taller.

[silvermoon84]

I’m 5’6”. I generally prefer guys taller than me but I would and have dated guys shorter than me. Not a dealbreaker at all.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Unless one is way shorter than me (159cm), like a dwarf or child size, then no.

Taller is ideal, but not an actual requirement.

[t-8900]

I'm 6'3. Shortest I've dated: 4'10. Tallest I've dated: 5'8. Idc. If you're attractive you're attractive

[DamnSam]

Well I'm over 6 so I would like her in the same height, but it's not like I just choose... women over 6 aren't that common
While other preferences should meet too...

[AviatorTom]

It's not a problem, unless there's a huge difference in height and you try 69.

[t-8900]

I've actually never thought of that but at least 69 would not be make or break for me

[Avicenna]

Well, I find tall women much more attractive, but it’s not a dealbreaker

[whynothoe]

Maybe if some men didn't lie about their height, opinions would be different

[Lynx122]

I'm 190 and I think people overestimate the impact of height lol :D

[ODC2112]

Only short guys complain about heigh, I am 187 if their complaints corresponded to reality I would have to be full of women, in particolar in my country where people are not so tall...

[Lynx122]

@ODC2112 Yeah, people see what's holding them back but they don't see their advantages as much.

[slatyb]

Same as any other characteristic, some people care about the height of their partner, others don't.

[Danny_dan92]

To most women it seems like that’s all they really care about. Cause I’ve seen some very attractive women with tall ass shrek looking guys

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

I don't think that it matters much, my bff and his wife have a 22 inch height difference. He is 6'10" and she is 5'0"
And they have 4 beautiful children together too.

[Anonymous]

It doesn’t matter so much to me. I like talk guys but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker even if he was shorter than myself although im 5 foot 2 anyway

[Subarugirl]

Physical and sexual attraction matters. Height is arbitrary

[LegendaryIcon]

it shouldn't, of course butttt we don't live in a perfect world, now do we

just like weight shouldn't matter either

[Jcrummy98]

No it doesn't matter to me. If you really love than nothing should matters.

[Shiningtempest]

In the end, it depends on each individual if height matter in dating or not.
