Would you consider asking out a girl who is 5’10”?

[Anonymous]

I am a woman who is 5’10” and I hardly get approached by men but men do check me out. When I realized this, it made me wonder if it’s my height that intimidate them. I’ve been told by several men that I’m like a 7 or 8 out of 10 so I’m certain that them not approaching me has nothing to do with my looks.

Yes

No

Maybe (please explain)

My mom is a taller woman than me at 170 cm. She’s still not that tall but kind of on the taller side for a woman, Lots of men like her, to the point that she’s always surprised when 6’3, 6’5 men ask me out, wondering how come they like me when I am so much shorter, always asking me if they know my height.

Currently I am talking to a 6’3 man and he’s quite a lot into me.

I say, smile,

smile does wonders at attracting men…

Even though I am short, if I looked grumpy nobody would like me.

lol, guys aren't ''intimidated'' by you. That's often a excuse girls use for guys not being into them. They may just not be attracted to you.

Sometimes a female being overly tall, will put many guys off, because it's natural for guys to generally want to be the taller, protective one in the relationship. It's nature. Hence as a reverse, many females like taller guys. I wouldn't date a female taller than me, myself.

Not saying that 5'10 is overly tall for a lot of guys, but it may be the the very borderline. Personally if I was you, I'd avoid wearing heels, as looking like your 6'1, once you wear heels will put off a lot of guys.

Anyone good luck, I'm sure you'll find someone, one day.

Asking out any girl frightens me, the possibility of rejection is a great motivator to only do that if your feeling very confident of a positive reception.

If anything. personally, tallness would increases my interest and desire to ask (though 5"10 isn't that tall). It's above average.

Lots of things about girls intimidate most men. The Alpha males are never intimidated though. Then they don't ever seem to be really rejected (outside of being known for being creeps, and even then they kinda presume the girl will get past that because their that good looking).

[handsomelad70]

Yes, if she's got a great body.(But I don't believe most five-ten women would date a five-nine shrimp such as I, though my boyish good looks at 70 might make me an exception.)

[Avicenna]

I'd do more than merely consider- it would be done right away...

[firenine909]

I’d be fine with doing so. Guys are different but as long as the guy is at least your height or bigger he’ll probably be more comfortable asking you out.


If you’re notably taller than the guy he likely won’t ask you out so I wouldn’t expect too many 5’8” and under guys talking with you.

[firenine909]

But yeah this is where you might get a lot attention from the 6 foot and up club.

If you like shorter guys I suggest you to be friendly with them but otherwise that’s who you’ll receive most of your attention from

[TommyMountainFigure]

Height doesn't intimidate me, neither do beautiful women, BUT I do know from lots of my friends, taller women and especially gorgeous tall women frighten the life out of them.

I'm already with someone (She's 5''11) yet I always have to be the one who has to engage in conversation, because they are too scared to even approach them.

[NathanDavis]

I've done it before... not a big deal

even 5'11" and also 5'12"

[Anonymous]

They are not intimidated by you, they are intimidated about what others might think

Are you ok with shorter guys in the first place?

[Asker]

Yes. I’ve crushed on many guys who were shorter than me. A guy being short doesn’t put me off

[Opinion Owner]

That's awesome

[RebelinSteel]

5’10 is fine, I know guys at 5’8 dating taller girls. It’s not intimidating. I’ve dated girls at 6’0 - 6’2

[Drumlin2001]

She'd have to be very special. I'm 5'9" and would rather have someone shorter than me.

[Anonymous]

Would I have a problem with your height? Absolutely not. Would I have a problem with you wearing heels? No. But I would not approach you either, because I am significantly shorter than you and I'm not looking for a guaranteed rejection just for being shorter than you.

[DarkWinterNights]

I don’t think height matters too much to guys, unless it’s a dramatic height difference. If you come across very masculine, that may put some guys off though.

[Wallythewalrus2]

My wife is 5’10”, so, yes. It’s funny, because I always dated the little blonde girls. My wife is a 5’10” brunette.

[BarryLiverstone]

She’s still over half a foot shorter than me so not sure how that’s intimidating

[DagonbroughtMehere]

My previous Dating conditions states; Physical only bears 10% desired potential this includes Height, the rest is Personality (50%) and Intellectual capacity (35%).

I emphasize Previously as I no longer date.

[pethouse]

That probably has a fact to play in the equation but metoo movement, online dating and constant videos of women complaining about men being “creepy” also has a lot to play in aswell.

Not saying that their aren’t creepy men out there.

[abc3643]

Most certainly I would have if I was so privileged.

[abc3643]

And, yes, plenty of guys shorter than you will be happy to be with you so disregard what some young men are saying here about that.

Any man that doesn't want you because you are taller than him is a man that really isn't for you anyway because he is too insecure with his manhood anyway. A real man won't have issues with you being taller than him.

[OtterMan68]

ever watched women's tennis or college volleyball? Lots of tall, leggy beautiful women! Of course I'd ask out a woman that tall and even taller!

[Pohjolan]

Why would men be intimidated because of you being short?

Also maybe as post MeToo several factors affect whether to ask someone out or not.

[Yannae]

I wouldn't hesitate. I complimented a girl around that height today actually!

[LiamJHayden]

I've gone on dates with several girls that tall or taller.

[Anonymous]

A reminder of my lifelong resentment of how it's always been up to the guy to ask the woman out

[laly520]

intimidated? dont think so

[Joshydavid25]

Absolutely, I love tall women..

[exitseven]

Yes. Why not. My mother was 5 foot 11.

[Joker_]

you're a giant

[Asker]

I’d hardly count 5’10” as giant but I guess it’s all relative to what you’re comparing me to

[Nifrayu]

Yeah. It's tall enough.

[msc545]

Absolutely yes. I love tall women!

[andersopau]

my wife is 5 10.

[Anonymous]

No. But not because she's 5'10".

[euniestars]

I like men 🤯

[shortster]

I would

[Slim57]

Yes.

[jjj101010]

Why not
