Ladies would you date a man who’s 5’7-5’8. Im 19 and I’ve been really insecure of my height lately, and it’s really starting to bother me. Am I short?

Question

PrettyPriya · Accepted Answer

Yep, I absolutely would. I am just over 5' tall so even the height you describe would be tall to me. My husband is 6' tall (nearly) and that is like a giant to me. I wish either I was taller or he was shorter just to close the gap even a little bit.

Your height, although still quite a bit taller than me, would be more ideal than what my husband's height is. Oh well though. We get what we get. I love him not for his height but for who he is as a person. His personality and character are what I fell in love with.

Height, along with other physical attributes that are asked about on GaG are not the important thing. It is far more important the intangible qualities that make up a person rather than the physical ones.

You could be the perfect height for most girls (whatever that might be) and have a rubbish personality (not saying you do). I am not going to date that person just because he is tall but a complete jerk.

I try to be v. honest here, I feel that is the point of this site, to honestly answer your question, you are a little short but not that short, and going by height alone I would prefer to date someone taller although it is possible I would date someone your height if everything else was good. I am 5-6.

Having said that, you should not worry about anybody who is not interested in dating you, you do not need every girl to want to date you, you just need the right girl to want to date you. My advice would be to not worry about it since you can't do anything about it anyway and just ask out girls you like. One of the biggest ladies men I know is 5-8.

JMO good luck!

I think if you have all the qualities a woman wants your just as demanding as the taller guys.

I guarantee, if you are a genuine person, treat women with respect and can make them smile, your height difference won't be such an issue.

The other way you can tip the scales is stay in shape. Women are somewhat like men in the whole initial attraction stage, and they like someone who takes care of themself.

Tall, dark and handsome, falls short of the mark, if they have a lot of less redeeming qualities.

So focus on the three qualities above, stay in shape, and I am sure your won't have an issue.

This thing of the height is a weird hang up many guys have. Women aren't that obsessed with it, if you like you, they like you.

I am quite short - 162cm - and I managed to find love and marry an amazing woman. If I managed with such shortness, you are fine.

Guy13 · Answer

If you act short they will treat you shortly. Date 4’11-5’3 girls

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

That is the least of my concerns, if everything else is good, I'd go for it.

Don’t worry about things you can’t change also don’t fall a victim or men made rules. That’s the point of bullying and putting you down to question your existence. Why let them win ! What is wrong with your height? 5’7 or 5’8 even 5’5 so what That’s good always be proud of how you look.
Just stay healthy don’t get sick or die early
Like people at your age have leukemia and 6 months to live so why worry about things that don’t matter to universe like your… height..
be grateful you are healthy that’s all it matters. And find girls who are your height million of girls out there that are 5’0

LazerBean · Answer

As long as you have a good personality and are mentally stable, you will be fine. 5'8 is taller taller than your average woman, and only slightly shorter than the average man. The majority of my male friends that are married are between 5'4 and 5'8. I had a good friend that was 5'8 and carried himself really well, and he was never in any shortage of female admirers.

UniquelyBasic · Answer

If a guy is over 5'7 and is average in looks then not getting a date isn't because of your height most of the time. Its because of something else. I think the people who have a really tough time with their height are people who are like 5'5. Its so cringe seeing all these guys complain about not getting women because they are only 5'9 or especially guys who are 5'10 😆. Your height is fine.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I’m married to one.
at 19, work on your self esteem. Height is not a top list for most women when they pick out a mate. If they do, you are better off with out them.
1. yiur ambition, confidence, goals, kindness to her, how you treat your family and others, how you manage finances…

Random_g · Answer

I don't know how much is 5'7 exactly but I don't really think that height matters when choosing a partner, however we can have a preference of an ideal type (that doesn't mean we will end up with our ideal type tho 😅)

For me, i'm short myself (156 cm) and my ideal type is my height or slightly taller (maybe up to 170 cm ) .. but it really doesn't matter.

saturnnn · Answer

there is most definitely someone out there for you who will love you for you and not give a rats ass about how tall you are. don’t focus on the uncontrollable, work on you, nurture your emotional intelligence and your ability to express and show love to women and sure as hell you will find someone! there’s tons of women out there who would date you i’m sure you just have to be willing to put yourself out there man and not have such a scarce mindset about if women will date you. You just have to be you and be willing to show interest and chase a girl you find worthy, it’s so easy from there.

hIopinionated_ · Answer

I’m 5’1 and a half, trust me when I say you are tall. Also, dude, you’re 19. You are still growing. Sadly, I will be 5’1 and a half forever. Sucks but good thing you’re still growing (since you’re obviously bothered by your height). I truly wish I was 5’7 or 5’8

Truthatanycost · Answer

I'm the same height and love it. That's my mindset and I don't care if any woman has an issue with it. I've been approached enough times, and had plenty of interest (although I prefer to be single). But ask yourself this. Do you think I would have had the same level of interest from women and been approached, if I had a negative mindset about my height?

Berethor · Answer

You below average height for man, and yea women are fairly obsessed about tall men. :)

4ngelic · Answer

i could but prefer someone taller cause i'm also 5'8. most girls would give you a chance though since most are shorter than you and like you're average height not a midget or even properly short so no need to be insecure <3

tina_695 · Answer

Why do guys think being tall is equivalent to being attractive as long as you have attractive facial features and good body think of 6 feet clumsy guy if you get insecure of your height then balance it by working on other parts of yourself

Nikki1989 · Answer

These hang-ups about height on here are just utter nonsense. My husband is 5'7, and I still consider him too tall for me. Stop being so damn insecure.

Kori1236 · Answer

Yeah. Height really isn’t as important as guys think. Yes there are some girls that want to have a taller dude and won’t settle for less than 6’. I personally think 6’ and taller is too tall.

EbeneezerGoode · Answer

If you're 5'7" you're the same height as Steve Buscemi though, which is a really cool person to be same height as (That's how I remember my height - Steve Buscemi height).

Anonymous · Answer

Nah. You’re just young and growing and learning still lots. It’s okay it bothers you but it will pass. Lots of women don’t have a heigh preference expect for the princess women that bark about how tall she’ll be with her heels on. But truly, find a way to love yourself as you are and know it gets better

oseveno · Answer

Yes, I don’t care too much about height. It’s the personality that matters most to me. You’re fine, don’t worry too much about it.

KittyKat90210 · Answer

I'd definitely date him if he's a nice person. And I don't think 5'7 or 5'8 is that short in my opinion.

itsalyssaagain · Answer

I have considered it in the past but the only reason I wouldn’t do it now is because im a tall girl myself. If I was shorter I don’t see an issue with it

whorable · Answer

everyone has a preference.. you’re “short” for a guy for some but for a 5’1 gal like myself you’re a giant

Leopard23 · Answer

A woman I would. I'm 6'6ft. For whatever reason women treat me as though my penis was made of solid gold.

Paulalove98 · Answer

Yesss! Absolutely. Don’t obsess or worry about your height just because a lot of other girls may be picky. I don’t care if the guy isn’t 6ft.

Faith18letsgo · Answer

Yeah for sure I’d date a guy 5’7” or 5’8”. I’m 5’7” that’d be cool we could share clothes, and kiss without one of us cranking their neck.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

Listen very carefully: no one that you matter to will care about your height. Take it from a girl who's 5'11 who's madly in love with a man who's 5'4

cheetocandle · Answer

Of course, if he was a good person. That is average height by the way, not short. And height is only one of many criteria that make a man attractive and masculine.

RoastedToast · Answer

Don't let your insecurities about height bring you down and the ladies would see you soar higher than if you were 6'4

PatriceONeal · Answer

If a girl height shames it you says a lot more about her than it is you. That's the way yiu were born, it's not like judging women for their weight, which they choose for themself.

5starrgirl · Answer

i totally would. i feel like if u really like somebody their height shouldn’t matter, and your a bit short. however that shouldn’t matter to your partner. no need to be insecure over diner you can’t control.

RockyHammock · Answer

When a girl tells you she has a height restriction, just block her she's not worth your time.

Carboxylatehate · Answer

I’m 5’7” and most guys I’ve dated were around me height. One even 2-3 inches shorter than me, I believe. I have dated guys 6’+ as well. I don’t really care about a guy’s height

Stop worrying about your height. Focus on finding a girl that care about you as a person. Who wants to be with a shallow person anyway?
