Ladies.. do you prefer dating a man who is taller than you or shorter than you?

[Anonymous]

Taller than me!

Shorter than me!

Same height as me!

[FunkyMonkee]

I used to know a girl that was average height, she looked like Jessica Rabbit. There were at least two guys that lived with her that wanted to fuck her so bad but she wanted neither of them, especially this one guy that was shorter than her. She said short guys creep her out. I never understood why. She was mad about Henry Rollins but, from what I can recall, the night he opened for us, HE'S a bit on the short side, too!
Maybe not, I just checked and he's 5' 9", a foot shorter than me. But, I've got a feeling he'd still be about an inch or 3 shorter than her.

[Avicenna]

Since when do women PREFER dating guys shorter than them?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I had a crush on Tyrion Lannister. A man’s personality is what makes him sexy, not his height.

I have rejected a lot of tall men, have liked a few short ones.

[little_bird1]

Lol I also had a crush on him!!!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@little_bird1 Haha, yeah and then men will complain all women care about is height. I am sure whole lot of us had a tiny crush on Tyrion Lannister lol

[DizzyDesii]

Taller but still close in height. My dude can rest his chin over my head and thats honestly too tall for me. I like to come to their nose or eyebrows

[JHAYES317]

If that’s too tall for you, then why did you go out with him in the first place?

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 because he didn't look tall in the pic my friend showed me

[JHAYES317]

Yeah but you could have been like “hey I like you but you’re a bit too tall for me”. Women reject guys for being short all the time…

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 you always got some shit to say to me about height. Get over it. I turned down a 6’7 dude before good lord

[JHAYES317]

That’s my point though…if you’ve turned down a guy for being too tall before…why not this time? It just boggles my mind how girls will say I don’t like tall guys but yet they are dating a tall guy…

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 he said he was 5’9. He is clearly not

[JHAYES317]

Your current guy said that or the 6’7” guy?

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 the 5’9 said that but he's clearly 6 something and thats a bit of a turnoff

[JHAYES317]

Ok but if he said he was 5’9” and showed up 5’3”…you’d probably have rejected him, so why is suddenly cool to lie if he’s over 6 ft?

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 like i said it wasn't cool and i wish you’d stop making assumptions because anytime i tell you otherwise you look stupid

[JHAYES317]

And yet you still are dating this guy…so clearly it didn’t matter that much that he lied to you?

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 for once he didn't lie intentionally. Last he was measured, he was 5’9. He just left out the part how long ago that was

[JHAYES317]

If he doesn’t have enough common sense to realize he’s not 5’9”…that’s another red flag…but to be fair I feel like most men wouldn’t say they were shorter than they were so I guess it’s a valid excuse…

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 he's always been insecure about his height. He still refers to himself as 5’9 and refers to his friends as giants. Maybe i’ll suggest he get his recent height measured when he attends hsi next doc appt

[JHAYES317]

So what about him made you overlook the height problem? Because even if he hasn’t lied…you mentioned he’s too tall for you practically?

[DizzyDesii]

@JHAYES317 he's not too tall per say but just taller than i prefer. I prefer 5’7-6’2. I know he's in that range but ideally i like when theyre on the lower end. I like to come to the nose or brows

[JHAYES317]

Then why don’t you say 5’7” - 5’11” as your preference and then just be willing to date outside of that if they have an amazing personality. Like for me, I’d rather not date a girl as heavy as me, but if they had an amazing personality, I’d be able to overlook them being SLIGHTLY heavier than me.

[MailyMartinez]

Im 4’11 and i prefer a guy whos at least 5’3 I've met guys who are short tbh. I dont want a guys whos 6 ft tall cuz ngl its pretty intimidating. The guy im with is 5’5 and im ok with that. I dated a guy thats 5’2 tbh which honestly didn’t bother me. Im latina so latinos not all are short but some are short. (A male hispanic coworker is shorter than me and he's older than me and im 19)

[KillinItHard]

5'2? Oof. Chicano estas aqui and hell naw. I'm cool with being 5'11, lol.

[JHAYES317]

Lol a guy half a foot taller than you, is “ok”…what kind of daddy issues do you have? You do realize you’d look like someone’s daughter if they were a foot taller than you right? And also 5’2” & 5’3” is kinda short for a man in the US yeah, but 5’5” is actually just below average not technically short

[petitedollbabee]

I’ve never dated anyone shorter than myself, so I have no idea if I would like it or not. I’m 4’11 so pretty hard to find someone who’s not taller than me.

[JHAYES317]

You’d be surprised

[petitedollbabee]

Surprised about what

[McLlovin]

Women like tall men, they are just to humble to say it out right. Does that mean short men dont have a chance.. no. It just means you’re fighting an uphill battle if you are going up against 7 foot 10 El Reque, Suave.

[HawkPerception]

Bruh... men will always prefer shorter and women will always prefer taller. It's a dominant submissive dynamic

[Simslover92]

I'm 5 foot 4 so most men are going to be taller than me even if only marginally like my boyfriend. So taller than me for sure.

[JHAYES317]

Uh you are average height not short and that’s not justification…you can like men taller fine but your height doesn’t justify that

[IslaTheWitch]

It's a feat to be shorter than me lol

I prefer dating a witty smartass who will make me laugh

[JHAYES317]

Unless you were under 5’0”…there are actually many men in the 5’0” - 5’3” range…especially in Asian countries

[IslaTheWitch]

@JHAYES317 I'm almost 5'1" and definitely live in Europe, and all Asian men I meet are taller than me...

[JHAYES317]

I’m talking about if you went to like Thailand or Vietnam or Indonesia.

[IslaTheWitch]

@JHAYES317 but I wouldn't. I live where I live, and 99.9% of men here are much taller.

[JHAYES317]

Ok fine hypothetically, you ran into a 4’11” guy near where you live…would you ask him out?

[IslaTheWitch]

@JHAYES317 I don't do it that way. I first get to know people. I take my time. If a guy makes me laugh, set challenges during discussion and gives me time and space... I don't mind his height. I enjoy his mind.

[JHAYES317]

Ok fair…but my point is, if he was shorter than you, you probably wouldn’t approach him so how would you get to know him in the first place…

[IslaTheWitch]

@JHAYES317 I don't mind people's appearances. My friends have different looks, personalities, and personal traits. But they all have a few things in common. Sharp minds, witty humor and no malicious acts.

I approach people who challenge my mind and make me smile. Who can banter with me. Who are the best smarter than me...

How we perceive the appearance depends on how we see the mind. If we don't know the person the appearance means everything.

I'm not a slave of my mind. I know and understand how it works. I use it, not blindly follow its lead, lol...

[JHAYES317]

Yeah but my point was none of that you can tell from looking at someone. If you were in the club, and saw a 4’11” guy just on looks that’s my point…

[IslaTheWitch]

@JHAYES317 and that's my point. I don't approach people I don't know. Not important if it's 6ft or 4ft, gorgeous or ugly. Basing only on appearance is simply stupid.

[Ashley1993]

Taller

Just taller than me , not necessarily 6 feet or something

[JHAYES317]

Taller than you barefoot, or taller than you in heels though?

[Ashley1993]

I.. uh.. don't wear heals so...

[Apple1996]

99.9% of men are taller than me so even if I wanted a shorter man it'd be hard to find

[JHAYES317]

I don’t know how tall you are…but you’d have to be like under 5’0” for that to be the case…

[Apple1996]

@JHAYES317 yes I'm 4'10

[JHAYES317]

Well Danny DeVito is shorter than you, Peter Dinklage, the guy who played Mini me, Wee Man, pretty much any actor who played an Ewok in Star Wars etc.

[Apple1996]

@JHAYES317 I wouldn't mind dating shorter but it's just rare to come across

[Nikki1989]

Same height. Eye contact is important.

[EmmaMary]

Well my husband is 6' 3" I'm 5' 10" which I think answers your question.

[aceleon]

well you are tall so when you go for tall guys it doesn't look like you are a shallow and demanding.

[EmmaMary]

@aceleon

How lovely of you to think this way... Thank you so very much indeed.

[LaurenM1997]

How is she shallow and demanding? That’s not really nice to say

[EmmaMary]

@LaurenM1997

If you read @aceleon comment again, he doesn't say that I look shallow and demanding... Quite the opposite in fact.

[LaurenM1997]

Ah ok

[XXblack88]

Taller than me but I'm dating a guy who the same height as me as well

[JHAYES317]

So if they were an inch shorter would that be a dealbreaker?

[XXblack88]

@JHAYES317 an inch shorter would be ok I just would prefer same height or taller

[Date_a_Snob]

taller than me

and even though you didn't ask older than me

[JHAYES317]

Taller than you in high heels or just taller barefoot even by half an inch?

[Anonymous]

The same girls who absolutely want taller guys, will blame patriarchy and will fight to cancel any gender roles

[Dela_99]

That’s a dating preference has nothing to do with gender roles lmao. Same way men prefer shorter women.

[Opinion Owner]

@Dela_99 it has to do with the idea that a woman "has" to be smaller and feminine. How does it have nothing to do with said roles?

[aceleon]

@Dela_99 we like shorter girls because it feels more manly so in a way it has something to do with gender roles.

[msc545]

Well wait - I thought "height is not important to women" - or do they lie?

[Anonymous]

I prefer taller but i also don’t mind shorter men. I am 5’1 though.

[aceleon]

you are short so even a 5'7 guy is half a feet taller than you, you will have easier time.

[Opinion Owner]

@aceleon yeah exactly and I don’t mind any height he could even be 5’5

[JHAYES317]

Lol you say you don’t mind any height…yet you still pick a height 4 inches taller than you, what if a guy was 4’11”?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe read my comment again… i said i prefer taller men but I don’t mind it if he is shorter… i would prefer a taller guy but i also wouldn’t mind if he was shorter than me… i think its easy to understand

[JHAYES317]

Yeah I get that but my point is 5’5” isn’t even short in the USA regardless and still noticeably taller than you…I’m not bashing you but just pointing out being ok with dating a guy only 4 inches taller instead of 8 inches taller isn’t a flex it just means you don’t have daddy issues…

[Opinion Owner]

The average male height in USA is literally 5’9. Even if a woman wanted a 6’0 guy that doesn’t make her a woman with daddy issues and a lot of men have the exact same preference for shorter women so

[JHAYES317]

It depends on how tall she is…if she’s 5’6” or under and needs a guy to be 6’0” then yeah she might have a little bit of daddy issues, if she is 5’0” or under then she DEFINITELY has daddy issues. And the exact average height is 5’9”…but 5’7” - 5’11” is still average because it’s less than one standard deviation away. 5’4” - 5’6” is below average but not short. Short is bottom 2% of men, 5’3” and below in the USA.

[aceleon]

@JHAYES317 dude daddy issues? seriously? if she is a slut who fucks around she has daddy issues, if she is an attention whore who lives on attention she has daddy issues but prefering someone taller than her is daddy issues? well i prefer girls who are at the minimum 4 inches shorter than me and would go as short as 4'10 does that make me a guy with mommy issues?

[JHAYES317]

@aceleon being a slut who fucks around means you have attachment issues…being an attention whore just means they are insecure. Daddy issues is where you want to date men who are much taller and/or older than you, to make you feel like a little girl again…and yes you might have mommy issues if you strongly prefer woman half a foot shorter or more…

[aceleon]

@JHAYES317 well for a fact nope, i have no mommy issues, might have any issues in life like ocd, sadism, a little bit anti-social personality disorder perhaps (not entirely sure but not an impossiblity) but mommy issues is not something i have.
in short let's not put every preferences we have into psychological issues, tallness is masculine shortness is feminine, straight guys likes feminine and straight guys prefer taller just instincts nothing more advanced, and let's admit already, a guy who is shorter than a not a very tall girl looks ridiculous from outside.

[JHAYES317]

@aceleon disagree with that…you’re just bringing up stereotypes. DannyDeVito was shorter than his wife, it didn’t look ridiculous. And no, if I see a guy taller than me, I don’t think he’s more masculine than me unless he’s also stronger than me, which in most cases isn’t the case

[aceleon]

@JHAYES317 i'm not talking about your sense of masculinity, i'm talking about female sense of masculinity, if she would need to choose the more masculine one between you and a guy who has the same body and looks but taller she would choose him as the more masculine one.
and dannydevito didn't look ridiculous with his wife? they look almost comedic dude, also sorry to tell you thi but your example is just eww, the guy is literally what any guy should avoid turning into at all costs.

[JHAYES317]

@aceleon lol learn some respect buddy…he’s a comedy legend.

[aceleon]

@JHAYES317 didn't you read the comedic part?

[LaurenM1997]

To me height doesn’t matter

[JHAYES317]

Really? You’d date a 4’11” guy?

[LittleMelissa9614]

Definitely taller than me. I like tall guys❤️

[JHAYES317]

Taller than you and tall aren’t the same thing unless you are like 6 ft…

[LemonJuicee]

I'd prefer if the guy was taller than me

[JHAYES317]

So you’d date a guy a foot taller before you’d date an inch shorter?

[LemonJuicee]

@JHAYES317 I'm 5'3, so yeah

[JHAYES317]

What does being 5’3” have to do with anything lol? There are men shorter than you…

[LemonJuicee]

@JHAYES317 Why are you so pressed by what I prefer

[JHAYES317]

I’m not I’m pressed by you using your average height to justify not dating shorter guys lol

[LemonJuicee]

@JHAYES317 I don't know, seems like you are to me

[JHAYES317]

Believe what you want lol

[Toya33]

I love a tall man!

[Usersarepoo]

I hate tall men.

[Blacksnake285]

Why? I guess it sucked getting stuffed in lockers and trash cans in grade school

[Usersarepoo]

No they too entitled and idots thinking that I want to date and has been cheaters when I did ask one tall men and started sending nixed signal.

[Miah04]

Taller
