There are women that are vocal about only wanting tall men. So let's settle this dispute here. Show the men of GAG what really matters with your choice and answers.
My ex had a preference for tall guys (at least 6 feet or above) and when we started dating as young teens, she'd complain how short I was (as I was always a short kid at 5'3 until I properly received my growth spurt until after I crossed 16) when compared to other guys. I'd always tell her that I'll grow taller in a few years as we were both still growing and it technically isn't MY fault that I'm a late bloomer.
Fast forward 5 years later, I stopped growing at the age of 5'10. She wasn't too happy about that, but would never say it to my face (she herself wasn't taller than 5'3 herself jbtw and while we stood side by side, she'd be barely taller than my shoulders in comparison). Her ultimate reason to dump me was, you guessed it; me being not tall enough. Which is insane, so yes.
That being said, I've known quite a lot of other women and young girls over the years and so far, none of them have told me height matters as much to them as it did for my ex, who I guess was a crazy exception. In fact, if and when the topic of heights DOES come up, literally all of them have told me they think my height is perfect as I'm not insanely tall but definitely not in the short category either. They do, however, say that they like it if he's at least slightly taller than them, but what matters more is how the guy is as a person above everything else.
Number one dating app profile for a woman states: I want a man to be strong both physically and mentally because that's what makes me feel safe and protected. A man who is honest and who has integrity, a good career and is marriage minded. Oh and if you aren't over 6 feet then forget it.
So height is the number one important factor no matter who you are or what you have.
Yes he has to be taller than me. I’m 5’2 or something close, I don’t think that’s necessarily a big ask.
I think any woman should be able to want a taller man without being judged, at the end of the day it’s a masculine trait. It is expected because that’s the norm. Men are taller, women are shorter. Yes there are women that prefer taller men (and yes they are out there, I’ve heard a few tall women say that) and there will be shorter guys that want taller women (again those exist too). But for the majority, it’s not and that’s OK. Stop complaining.
This isn’t directed at the Asker but mostly the incels on GAG that love to complain and be offended over women
Man, what's with dudes and the height question on gag? Lol if ain't dick size or something about feminism.. it's bloody height 😅 😂 bro, fellas listen, there are going to be chick's who like or want tall men okay, if she's not checking for you then brush her off and find someone else. There are girls who will like you and find you attractive, my have cousin who's short and he's married. My father was 5'4 and pulled my 5'7 mother. You can make it happen guys.

I don't think they care that much about the men of GAG. I WISH they would hit the survey though !!
There's two types of straight women in the world: Those who will tell the truth, and those who'll vote option B.
I've lost count of how many times I've been rejected for being 180 cm; the size of a Dutch teenage girl. Probably at least 400 times. But life is unfair and being told you will literally never find love or anyone to appreciate you as a person because you're too short/genetically inferior, isn't the worst thing in the world, I guess. It just feels like it the first time.
So I now know better when women say "height doesn't matter." It's a croc of sh*t, cause most women on Earth refuse to date men shorter than them, unless MAYBE the women are over six feet tall themselves and even then, it's a hard "maybe."
Many people will have many takes on this one. But the bottom line is, yes. Height does matter even when they day it doesn't. It's just like weight, no one wants to be called fat phobic so we say weight does not matter but the truth is when you meet a fat girl you'll find an excuse to say "no thanks" well they do it too.
As I'm pretty short, everyone is taller than me... but I did marry a guy who is 5'9 so under 6 feet, height doesn't matter to me personally.
There are women that say it matters though. I'd say based on the results here, 1/3 or so think height matters, the rest don't.
s I used to be very picky about height. But I've been thinking about my preferences in dating, and I came to the conclusion that I was being unfair. Now I know that I shouldn't reject a guy just because of his height.
I would hate to be rejected solely based on my skin color and that's something I can't change. So, turning a guy down over something he can't change would be hypocritical and nonsensical too.
u none of my girlfriends or the many other girls that had an interest have had a particular preference for height, nor have been particularly about "loving my height"
there was always a few other things that they do loved about my physique in particular
but that's just my personal experience, I really don't know about all other women out there
To be honest, a lot of women are going to care about height, but I really don’t. I love my short boyfriend for who he is. He’s the love of my life and the best man in the world. God has entrusted me with him.
I do not care how tall someone is, but I want them to be taller than me. I think my preferences are reasonable because when looking at my ethnic group, men, on average, are taller than women. We are biologically made, on average, to be shorter than women and taller than males. In Croatia, most of the men that I know are 180cm.
tbh, im a really short gal, so so finding someone taller than me ain't hard. I would prefer it too. Just cause that's sum i like, to be held and him standing over me and being protective. I like height it a guy but it's not my top priority
Well my husband is 6' 3" and I'm 5'10"... That I think answers your question.
It's never an issued, rarely even a thought. I did see someone for a bit a few years ago and he was 5'7". And, so for me at 5'11'', it was def a noticeable difference but not an issue or problem.
I'm 5'5 and prefer average height men. But if some guy was like 6'3 and was the right person for me, I'd stay with him. The same goes if he were shorter than me.
It's not a dealbreaker if he's shorter than me. Surely he has more about him than just his height, right?
It was never an issue to me, I like boys shorter than me but don't mind if they're of the same height or slightly taller
The older I get the more I realize height doesn't matter it's the connection with that person that matters most!
As long as he's tall when he's lying down they don't care how tall he is when he's standing up.
I'm 5'4". So yes I want someone at least my height, but that's not a high standard.
height doesn't matter. As tall as I am or taller is pretty reasonable in my case (I'm short)
I think the majority of women have a strong preference for guys who are taller than them.
I also think the majority of short men would have more luck if they weren't so noticeably insecure about their height. Insecurity isn't attractive.
Huh.. ffs, I personally do not really give a fuck, but some other girls probably do make it a make or break, I guess?
