Women would you date a man shorter than you & Men would you date a woman taller than you?

Question

I would be less likely to chase taller women then me in comparison with shorter women for sure, however if she was really attractive and feeling ballsy i still would’ve risked the biscuit. I don’t judge a woman on her height solely and i don’t think most males do, however i’m not into feeling like being challenged in my own-household and would prefer to avoid the friends jokes about her being taller then me and family mocking me about it in private. If one of them were to look towards me and or seemingly be interested i couldn’t care less about her height if i were attracted to her, though most males feel less secure in their relationship and don’t like the environment aka their friends and family who jump on the band-wagon to makes jokes and other things about her being taller. I’m 6’2 with American inches which is a little above average in my country and i’ve rarely had the problem, but for the few that were either a few inches smaller or taller then me with with heels it kinda scratched my ego and i can seemingly understand how some men might feel mess masculine because of it although in my opinion if they’re fragile and sensitive about their masculinity they need to grow a little as a man.

I do not often see women taller than me, in fact I do not recall having ever seen one now that I think about it. I've seen a few that come close to me. For some reason I find them most desirable. If I saw one taller than me? Woah, okay, beside the fact that it would probably the first time in my life so hard to imagine, and also it would be a most unusual experience, what would that make me think? I suppose it all boils down to the same question that it would with any other woman. Does she require my services on a daily basis? If yes, the bigger, the merrier! :D

When I'm in a relationship, I prefer to date men that can provide physical security for safety purposes. Considering that I'm 5'4," I'm not convinced that a man shorter than me would be that great a providing security, given that he is much shorter than the average man, and unless you're a trained/experienced fighter and your opponent isn't, size definitely matters. In addition, I prefer to date men that I find physically attractive. For the most part, I am attracted to men that are close to 6'0" and taller with an athletic build, similar to that of a basketball player or track and field runner. The height of 5'3" simply does not look attractive on any man to me regardless of his body type. Therefore, no, I would never date a guy that is shorter than me.

Short men have shitty characters shaped by their "tall guys get everything for free" mindset. It's not just the shortcoming in their body height but it's mostly their obnoxious ever hostile behavior that is tiresome after some time. Their only option is being rich or having potential to make money. Gold diggers don't care about such banal things like character.

I would. But everyone has their own thing

asphaltrhymes · Answer

Not my thing personally, I voted I'm a man who wouldn't date a taller woman than myself (I'm 6ft abouts). So I feel like, just from over time glances towards me, even from random women, short women seem to check me out most. Like, even if I'm just walking randomly in a crowd or whatever, short women, seem to uhh like me? They don't do more than glance or glance than move on and likewise.

I feel like somehow maybe I'm just more a guy who'd better match with short women (any woman under 5foot5 in height).

I like to think I would date a taller woman. But I tend to date shorter women and find them attractive. There was once a tall woman that I thought was really cute so I asked her to hang out and we did. She was really beautiful actually but we only hung out that once. If I'm being honest I don't know if it was a personality/chemistry thing but she for sure would have had a better chance if she was a shawty.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Simple logic is what I go by it makes more sense to date someone around your height this makes things like kissing much less awkward, so a little bit taller or little bit under is fine.
Though also we can't choose what someone's height will be if we end up liking someone unless you are actively only picking people you don't actually have feelings for but match such ideals. My ex's have not been near my height like how most girls wouldn't be anyway but that didn't stop me from liking them.

I'm NOT going to date a manlet! That is out of the question! My boyfriend is tall, charming and funny - manlets are abominable freaks who spread degradation and misery wherever their stumpy, little legs carry them. No thanks. The "life" of a manlet is an existence of constant humiliation, deep insecurity and an insatiable need to put others down in a futile attempt to reduce them to the incredibly low level of the manlet. Which is obviously impossible because there's nothing lower than a manlet - nothing even comes close! Delusional manlets must know their place. When will they learn?

EricSummer · Answer

I would not mind if she is taller, but in general the women would mind that, so it's mainly their choice.

Having said that, my ex wife who was only an inch shorter than I always saw it as a great sacrifice to have settled for a guy shorter than 6 ft. She even asked me to hold myself straight at parties (oh, the horror).

My current girlfriend is six inches shorter than I so that this difficulty no longer applies. Thankfully she also has a different personality.

razelove · Answer

I dated one woman who was taller than me by a couple inches, like I'm a little over 6 feet, and she was about 6'5", maybe a little taller. Her choices would be narrowed considerably if she only dated guys taller than her.
Anyway, that was interesting, I had never had to lean up to kiss a woman before, but it's something I'd do again. I'm kind of ambivalent towards a woman's height unless she's a midget and I literally have to worry about breaking her.

As a guy of average height - yes, I would date a taller woman. I would actually *prefer* a taller woman over a shorter woman, 99 times out of 100.

To add to my point - I'm 5'8", and my ex was 6'3". We were playful about our height difference, and we were never uncomfortable or embarrassed to be around each other.

If it were up to me, I would encourage more tall women to date shorter. That being said, if a taller woman doesn't want to date me because I'm shorter than them, I don't take it personally. I can't have the preference that I do, and then fault women for wanting it the other way around.

I've dated three women who were a couple inches taller than me. I am 5'10" and never had a problem with dating.

I think it is because, I could not give a crap what height she is, if I find her attractive then I am going to talk to her.

Often, once I talk to her, any thoughts about how tall she typically dates is out the window. I've heard many times, I typically only date guys that are 6 ft or taller from women who are 5 ft and up, and it did not appear to make a difference once we got to know each other.

If a women would not date me because I am not over 6 ft, then so be it, that's her filter settings. I could care less, we all have filters. Even though she may be pretty, perhaps she's not the brightest bunny and even though I would not attain her 6 ft filter, she would not meet my criteria for being intelligent, humorous, kind, gentle, etc.

Berethor · Answer

I'm not sure if it dealbreaker to me, but I sure prefer to not date woman who taller than me.

DrinaHeron · Answer

I would certainly NOT date a "man" shorter than me! Tall men only. 5ft10 minimum. Manlets are not an option. Smelly, dumb, manlet scum - just gross! I would never lower myself to such a level. Tall men are so hot though - I need to be able to look up to my man and respect him and feel protected...

DevilDaddi · Answer

I'm a short guy and I mean really short. I'm 5'2. I think I've maybe had 1 girlfriend shorter in my lifetime 🤔. I've never let it matter to me. It's never stopped me from dating and I've been with wome 6' plus. I think everyone likes what they like. There are plenty of beautiful women out there that actually like short guys like me. It's all about what you think of yourself.

musicbrain5 · Answer

I’m married now, but sure I would date a shorter man if I was still dating. I’m 6’1” so I’m already the same height as most men around here.

Jazzy54 · Answer

Nah. I’m already short enough (4’8). 😂 When it comes to a man’s height, I have a range. If he’s between 5’7 and 6’3, I’ll take him. Preferably 6’2. 🤤

Anonymous · Answer

No I'm 4ft6 so any guy shorter than me would be a midget too or dwarf. To be honest I wouldn't even dat a guy that's under 6ft as I've never been attracted to guys in the 5ft range. My fiancee is 6ft7.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Nope, I am just 160 cm. Weirdly enough, looking back, all the men I’ve dated were at least 6 feet 1.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I'm a man and I WOULD date a woman taller than me. My ideal woman would be a fair bit taller than me !  "Height wise, there is no ideal standard, but I think I'd be up to her shoulder..."

Sweety_Torneeya · Answer

I would like to date a man shorter than me. I DOnt think so height matters too much if he is 4 inches shorter than me but if he is 7 or 8 inches shorter So he should find his height type girl for himself
