Height should not matter in a relationship because the altitude above ground of a person is just as unimportant as the looks of that person.
Those that place such an importance on height, looks, appearance and a few other minor physical aspects such as 6 pack or penile attachment are the same ones that others will consider superficial and self-centered.
All those people place so much importance on those derisory external aspects of a human being fail to look the more important assets of a person. Those would be intellect, character and personality. Those 3 assets stay a lifelong while height and physical appearance and ephemeral.
Of what good is a tall person with abs, a 6 pack and a larger appendage if this person has an IQ of 84, is not able to hold a decent conversation, has a despicable character and no personality whatsoever?
Basically, most of those people that claim that they are physically superior to others have already one major problem over the others: They are conceited and unattractive to those that seek the real important things in a steady relationship.
@Unit1 I have patented that expression eons ago. You may use it if you mention the source but for the sake of humankind, I relinquished the sole ownership and made it available to everyone as public domain with the condition that the source be mentioned. Jeff Bezos challenged me but to no avail. I am not bribeable!
It shouldn't but it does and it's completely okay. I don't want someone too tall nor too short next to me. And yes it's fair. If my crush prefers tall women, I can't really force him to feel differently... it's up to him.
Thank you for the MHO!
Yes sadly it does , mainly because each individual person has their own preferences of what they like and don’t like , So if someone doesn’t want to date someone because of their height than that’s their preference , every one has their own preferences of what they are attracted to and not attracted to so we can’t force someone to like us period , each person is going to choose what they like bottom line. We can’t force someone to like us back the same , all we can do is try
It's her opinion and preferences...
you or anyone can't demonize anyones preference for height, weight, hygiene, lifestyle, wealth and even body count
Both boys and girls should have preference and standards
because if anyone Gaslight them to like it.. than they wouldn't be able to find significant other attractive in long run as they would be lying to themselves.. it's common sense!!
Everyone should practice healthy relationship and have standards
I love this take 🙏
Thankyou 🌯

People who prioritize factors like a person's height, looks, and specific physical attributes, such as large penile size, are often perceived as shallow and self-centered.
These individuals should instead concentrate on more significant aspects, such as a person's values, character, and personality. Height and physical appearance are, at most, temporary.
I don’t think it does. My ex was a foot taller than me and nobody cared.
I have liked some men who were much shorter than him too.
If it's important to someone, then it's going to matter to them and will be a factor. Everyone has their own priorities in a partner.
Yes it's a preference just like not wanting to date someone who is fat. Whoopdedoo
I mean I'm 5'2 and I rejected a guy before 'cause he was like 7 ft tall and I looked like a child compared to him and I didn't like that. It was shallow I know.
I can definitely understand that 🤠 I'm almost 6ft but even so, dating a person who is a ft taller than me would feel kind of uncomfortable
Should it? Eh sure. Also no. It doesn't really matter what the view point is on it because people like what they like. Me for example I am attracted to women who are shorter than me though most women are shorter than me. I have met a few women my height and 1 taller. They were attractive but not as attractive to me as the shorter girls. The other thing is height is not a major factor it is very low on importance for me. Some traits will matter more for certain people. Example being many guys will care about weight and body count but less about height. Many women will care about weight and height but less about body count. No one can control what they love. The heart wants what the heart wants
No, because height is a neutral trait in regards to attraction.
If I showed you 10 images of a person you found attractive, at varying sizes, but identical in every other way, yet I didn't provide anything else in the image for scale, you'd not know their height, and you would not find any image more or less attractive than the others.
Physical attraction is based on appearance, not comparison.
Attraction to height specifically has no real foundation because of this.
This is why when shown a collectable figure, photograph, video, 100 inch tv, or massive billboard with a person on it, you can still find the person displayed attractive, regardless of whether or not they are displayed as 2 inches or 100 feet or anywhere inbetween.
What people are really doing when they say they find height "attractive", is letting the judgment of others who compare the height of them to their spouse, effect their dating choices. Its not that they find it more or less attractive, its that they are repelled by the idea of being judged by the public because one is tiny and the other is huge.
Thats a stupid way to live in my opinion. Date based on common interests, shared hobbies, physical looks, but don't involve public opinion.
Yeah it matters though it shouldn't matter, but if you ask a guy if weight matters they'd say yes too so can't interfere. But personally speaking weight should matter if its a preference as someone can gain/lose weight as they want. But height cannot be changed, so yeah height shouldn't matter
Everyone finds different things attractive so I don't see an issue with someone having a preference for someone taller or shorter.
Good point. I think this is a debate because it plays to people's insecurities- if a woman rejects a man for being too short, short men would feel personally offended (same goes for tall women). If you don't see an issue, you must be more confident in who you are than those with body issues. I respect that 🙌
That’s kind of like saying should anything matter at all? People have preferences and that just can’t be taken away. Me, personally, I love a petite woman. 5’0” - 5’2” is ideal. My best friend, he likes tall women. 5’10” or taller. It’s all about individual attraction factors.
Why do you question personal preferences? Some people like blondes, some long hair, some long legs and others feet. Whatever other people think, it won't change the personal preferences of someone who likes tall guys or girls.
I'm personally short. And I like tall men. But it doesn't change the thing that my partners never were very tall. Because, in the end, it's not the most important factor (at least for me). If I could choose, I would pick 6+ ft.
Short women care more about height than any other women. Good example that's shown here. Hayden isn't even like 5'2. She's like 4'11 and the dude she's with is like 6'7. Many other 4'11 are the same. I notice though that's its usually always short White women going for bigger tall men. Latinas for instance I've seen mostly with men below 6 feet. Good thing I'm not into short White women anyway. They look like oddities. Height of 5'5 to 5'10 for White women looks better.
Ofcourse it matters. Woman like their men to be taller and men like their woman to be smaller 🤷🏻♂️
You can't choose what you are attracted too so their is nothing that can change that. It's sad for the people that aren't meeting those requirements but that's the reality they will have to deal with in life. We all have our own set of quality's so make the best out of what you got
It's merely a matter of preference. Everyone has preferences and that's perfectly normal.
Height is no different than a preference for hair or skin color, body shape, level of fitness, or even cultural background or personality.
I'm 6'2" and admit a particular attraction to short girls. They just look extra cute and sexy to me, and they're a lot of fun in bed. But there are so many factors that go into attraction that height was never a deciding one for me.
it shouldn't but it does for many. in the pre-modern times i can understand from an evolutionary standpoint why your partner's height would improve your offsprings chances for survival and success. but we aren't hunters and gatherers. we don't live in feudal states. we moved away from the agrarian society where height and strength could benefit the family success. so today it shouldn't matter as much... in my opinion
The heart doesn't care about height or weight as that is only superficial physical appearance and tells you nothing about his or her real character.
Now if you are very tall and only want to breed very tall kids then you probably need to find a mate tall like yourself.
If you plan to have kids someday, height definitely matters (for both partners) because height is just as important as "superficial" factors in life like beauty, intelligence, status, wealth, power, talent, etc. But if you never plan to have kids and/or you're just dating or sleeping around, then no, height doesn't matter at all as long as you're not with a dwarf (4'9<) nor a giant (7ft+).
I prefer it when the guy is a little taller, but basically it's not the body that matters, but whether you love each other.
I don't like women who are shorter than 1.61 meters or taller than 1.75 meters.
Fair enough, you can't help what you're attracted to 👍
Take the word "should" out of it. A person's preferences are their preferences.
Finances, lifestyle, sexual past, body count, jobs, height, body type, personality.
People can care or not care about all of these things.
I meant in a morality context- I've seen lots of women feel guilty when they only wanted to date tall guys. So, 'should height matter?' is a shorter way of saying 'is it wrong to care about/ reject a person because of their height? Is this shallow?'
I know most women want their guy taller than they are. It is genetic too. If you want tall kids you can't mate with a short guy. Of course that works both ways, a tall guy mating with a short girl, her genetics could shorten the kids.
No, it shouldn't matter, but unfortunately, we are visual creatures so hype does matter. I don't think it's fair for people to be turned down because of their height, but unfortunately it happens. How tall are you and have you ever been turned down because of your height?
5'11! And I haven't, but it was an insecurity of mine in the past. I had this self-image issue that made me think no man would ever like me due to how tall I was.
... then I met a boy who was 5'5, dated him, and now after four years we're both 5'11 😀 I've definitely had an interesting relationship with height as a dating factor, but it's ended up positively
I chose "Yes" because height is popular for a reason. It's a good marker of health & physical capability. Probably even more. But all are good traits to pass down to offspring.
It should matter to anyone who wants to care. If a woman doesn't want to give chances or specifically exclude short men, that's simply her right. What I find wrong and irritating is the double standard.
It's the wrong question because personal preference and taste is not a matter of "fairness." What you are attracted to is neither fair nor unfair, it's a personal view that has no requirement to be "fair."
It only matters to the very shallow or insecure or judgmental.
Take your pick.
I accept your judgment
It matters to majority of people these days but I’ve never been so caught up on it as long as the guy isn’t a midget I don’t care…
It shouldn't but it does. Women has established the standard is 6ft. As a guy over 6ft I love it.
it should be case by case, not like those i saw on dating apps if not 6 foot 2, don't contact me. that's 1m 80cm.
height is just one more thing of individual preferences, so nothing wrong with that, everyone just want to be happy with what they got.
To a degree. If you don't want your kids to be short, either only date a short man if you are tall or just don't date one. If you don't care about that, or are willing to take a risk, you can date a short guy if you really like him.
We all have preferences, and no one has an obligation to date anyone else. There is no "Equal Opportunity Dating".
Just the same way men turn down women due to age.
You would pick a 20 yr old over a 33 year old any day.
It really doesn't matter.. It's just aesthetics really..
people can have whatever preferences they want
Should height matter? No. But I chose it depends because I'm not a fan of a woman being taller than me if I'm in a relationship with her. Other than that, I don't care about it.
There is no "should" in sexual attraction. People are attracted to what they're attracted to and you can't tell them they shouldn't be. It doesn't work like that.
If the emotional bond is so strong, nothing else (height included) should matter.
91 % percent it sure does to me 😊👀😁 and I'm 186cm aka 6ft myself. Hooray me? 😋😅
6ft is equivalent to 1.83m
Yea, men are 5 inches taller than women in average so tallness is a masculine trait.
I’m 5’6”. Most women I know are taller than 5’1”. Am I short, a supposedly feminine trait?
Everything is relative, but yea you pretty short, and it's a feminine trait.

"Should" really does not come into it in my opinion. People like what they like, and shaming them by questioning their preferences is doomed to fail the vast majority of the time.
I say no and I'm 6'4". I'm happy that women like my height but don't think it should matter that much.
Is that Hayden Panettiere? She is cute I always had a crush on her.
It matters to a lot of women, and I prefer the woman shorter than me, which is most women anyway or even the women that are a lot shorter than me still prefer guys 6 foot and up
You could ask the same question about any other facette of attraction. So what you are essentially asking is... does attraction matter? The clear answer is yes.
Should it? The question is moot. It does matter, and that's all that counts.
Its fine to have preferences, its wrong to shame someone over something that he cannot change.
I'll NEVER understand why this is a thing with SOME women. But I personally cannot be attracted to a woman that tells me height matters to her. If she needs a guy over feet tall that's her business. But that guy won't be me.
Guy should always be taller than girls. But 4'2 girls saying they want a 6'2 guys is just laughable.
From their perspective, I bet they can't tell the difference between someone who's 5'11 and 6'2
@bingbongbangbung right.. lol
It shouldn't but it does. Unlike a woman's weight, a man's height is completely out of his control.
Size shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I can't imagine is that the girl I'm with is significantly taller than me.
I am 6 2 and been with 4 10 girl for a year.
Typically I like my women on the shorter side but I’m not picky; I’ve dated taller women, shorter ones and those that are closer to my height. It all depends on your preference.
For males, i feel like it depends. Personally i dont have a type in relation to height. I get attracted to both girls shorter or the same height as me (because im tall).
Even though I'm super short I could never be with a guy that's under 6ft.
@JHAYES317 these shorties wouldn't be able to tell the difference
It doesn’t for men
VORE is a very popular fetish
It's a preference. Some people won't date blondes. Some girls won't date bald guys.
It definitely doesn’t matter to those who value love more than height.
Yeah everyone have a preference regarding height and size.. It's basic stuff really.
I don't know if it should, but it does. I can't help that I am attracted to tall women.
It shouldn't, but everyone is a little shallow. As a guy, even I have high preferences. I would never date a girl who's taller than me.
*height
I'm 6'2, I love a small girl, but I would date my hight
