Does height matter for you when looking for a partner?

[itsannalee]

[Anonymous]

Please make it make sense: guys will literally bully the short guy, even if he is a friend all the time. The short guy gets beat up, picked last in gym class, overlooked for positions of power, etc. and yet, if a girl even mentions she doesn't date short guys, she's so shallow and how dare they. Let me ask them how many fat girls they've dated with receipts? Everyone is flipping shallow and picks according to what they are attracted to, period. Can't force them to like a fat girl anymore than they can convince a lot of women to date a short guy. The world sucks sometimes, k, thanks.

[Joani]

Guys will literally bully the short if the latter allows it to happen, period. A good kick in the balls goes a long way. And yeah, everybody has preferences, but if short men are despised in many senses is because this society, especially in the west, has a lot of prejudices. Taller does not mean smarter, and when it comes to romance, choosing a partner just because he is tall is for pure physical attraction, not for love. Hollywood has definitely done a "great" job in this sense.

[JHAYES317]

@anonymous the difference is gay girls can get their ass in the gym and go on a diet so it’s not a permanent part of them like short stature. So not comparable whatsoever

[Opinion Owner]

@Joani You don't often get to choose who bullies you or not. You might stand up to them, but that doesn't guarantee they will stop, and you know this. But back to the point, tall or short doesn't equal anything. It's just biologically how you turned out, but that doesn't stop people from looking for a great person who also meets their physical criteria for attraction. I'm tall, a lot of guys won't date me because I'm tall. I date tall guys, not JUST because they are tall, but because they meet the criteria of being nice, friendly, respectful. You like what you like, and in that chain when it comes to attraction, no matter the country if you are in the east, west, whatever, there will always be people who are at the bottom of the dating food chain through no fault of their own. It has nothing to do with what country you live in, or city.

[Anonymous]

If he is a dwarf i wouldn’t want to date him.

I would prefer the man to be taller than me but if he is a little shorter than me that is fine.

I am 1.74m.

I could consider a man who is between 170-173cm. Any shorter than 170cm would be a turn off for me.

[itsannalee]

My mom is 173 and my dad is 164 and all their kids are short like my dad. So I don’t want to date short guy 😁

[Opinion Owner]

Short guys are more likely to feel insecure, rejected and also get picked because of their height. I currently do not have any kids but I do want to have kids in the future. If I had any males being short would make their life extra difficult.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for best answer reward

[OlderAndWiser]

Most of my partners in LTRs have been petite - 5' 2" or less. I have dated a girl who was my height - 5' 9" and very much attracted to her. I have been attracted to a woman who is a few inches taller than me, but she refused to date anyone shorter than her.

[Berethor]

Yea, ideally a man should date a woman who is at least 5 inches shorter than him.

[itsannalee]

The pic is just like me and my boyfriend, i’m 5’4 and my boyfriend almost 7. I look like his daugther when he hold my hand.

[Berethor]

He played the mountain, yea shortness is associated with femininity and youth. :)

[Avicenna]

It's a definite plus if she's tall, but that isn't a requirement and I don't let my preference for tall women make me throw caution to the wind and forget about what's important in a partner.

The woman I was married to is 5'7

[DishLady]

A little… for reasons of basic physics….

[ArrowheadSW]

LOL Yeah really. Not sure one partner would want to use a stepping stool to kiss the other... 😂

[DishLady]

Exactly.

[JHAYES317]

@DishLady then why do short women date men way taller than them?

[UnicornLobotomy]

@ArrowheadSW Just lift them up, they usually like it. If you make a habit out of it when y’all start dating/being intimate it really helps change the subject later if she wants to start nagging or if she’s feeling down and depressed because someone hurt her feelings at work or something.

[UnicornLobotomy]

@JHAYES317 taller men like petite women often simply because they are attractive, its an instinct to want to be a protector, and if they are attractive too it completes the attraction

[Drewtate]

I like short girls

[Anonymous]

I am 5'1" and my fiancé is 6'2". People need to recognize that we are attracted to who we are attracted to. It's not a choice we make.

[itsannalee]

I’m 5’4 and my boyfriend is almost 7 (212cm) and i never posted pic of both up standing because people will leave dirty comments.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, people can be idiots.

[Berethor]

Don't worry, a girl who date guy shorter than her gets a lot more bad comments.

[JHAYES317]

@anonymous actually it is. Society influences who you choose to be with a lot. If society normalized taller women couples I guarantee less women would find it unattractive

[EmmaMary]

Well I'm 5' 10" and my husband is 6' 3"... A perfect combination for the both of us.

[Jennz6]

@EmmaMary💕💯
Emma you are tall 🥰

[Berethor]

5 inches is how taller men are on average, so it's an ideal height gap to have.

[EmmaMary]

@Berethor

It also allows me to wear high heels for those special events/occasions, without looking too far out of place.

[JHAYES317]

@EmmaMary why would you choose your romantic partner based on what people might say about you if you wore high heels?

[EmmaMary]

@JHAYES317

My choosing had absolutely nothing whatsoever with my wearing high heels or not... My preference was to have a husband taller than me... And at my height that somewhat limited my chances.

[Berethor]

@EmmaMary the beta male had blocked me, anyway tall men are masculine men.

[EmmaMary]

@Berethor

Well that certainly shows the pathetic level of some people's mentality.

[Berethor]

@EmmaMary I saw him butthurt by every woman who prefer a tall man, funny.

[EmmaMary]

@Berethor

It is of course possible that he's one of life's unfortunates inflicted with small man syndrome.

[JHAYES317]

@EmmaMary I blocked him because he’s clearly a troll, calling short men beta males…why would I entertain that?

[CaitlinSims25]

@JHAYES317 yep did same on my opinion to here. Another trolls. I also blocked him.

[rienna888]

Ofcourse for me, the taller the better, but I’m fine if they’re just taller than me

[JHAYES317]

@rienna888 you’d rather date a guy 2 feet taller then you than a guy an inch shorter lol?

[Berethor]

@JHAYES317 it silly, where she find a guy 2 feet taller? short males are beta males.

[itsannalee]

@Berethor it’s hilarious, short guys are always salty. People have their own preference. Like just because u are ok with short guy, doesn’t mean u can force others to like short guy.

[Berethor]

@itsannalee vast majority of girls don't want a short guy, that's why they salty.

[JHAYES317]

@itsannalee you’re 31? Jeez you sound like a 21 year old lol, using words like salty?

[itsannalee]

You look short lol 😏

[itsannalee]

@Berethor exactly

[JHAYES317]

@itsannalee you look AI generated

[itsannalee]

@Berethor still better than short dude who got offered over some girls options about tall guy. Get some milk, maybe it helps u😂

[Berethor]

@itsannalee that beta male has blocked me, he like to annoy girls who like tall guys.

[itsannalee]

@Berethor yes he replied every girls who like tall guys 😂 like why it offends you if no one talking about you. Everyone has their own choice.

[4ngelic]

i'm 5'8 so kinda yea. i'll only date dudes 5'6 1/2 at minimum, any shorter and it would look strange. though i prefer if the dude is taller than me obv

[Jennz6]

@4ngelic 💕
Do you ever wear heels 👠?

[4ngelic]

@Jennz6 yea sometimes

[Jennz6]

@4ngelic💕
So that makes you a lot taller, is he okay with that?

[JHAYES317]

@4ngelic look strange to who? Why do you care that much what society thinks?

[andreasderjuengere]

Only if she's living 5th floor and there's no lift in the building.

I used to not care about 'height' - my ex wife was about my own size.

Anyhow, after more than 20 years in South East Asia I had gotten used to the local shorties, and ''height'' now gives me a feeling of - erm - unfamiliarity. Nothing beyond that, though.

[Yannae]

It does. Tall women for the win. But it's not a dealbreaker. A big height difference feels a bit awkward to be and the short women in my life (except for two) have been pretty manipulative and toxic, while the taller girls have been very sweet to me so I automatically gravitate towards them

[RingOfFire]

Sure. I think it matters to everyone except maybe people who are so desperate that they are willing to overlook anything.

I actually prefer short women, but for some reason above average height women always seem to be the ones that I end up in the relationships with. I never was able to figure it out why it works out that way but that's what happens.

I would not be attracted to a woman who is taller than me. Same height is my max.

[genericname85]

i love how women so gleefully speak about their hight preferences but when a man dares to state that he likes big tits, they get the torches and pitchforks to lynch him xD

like i have no issue with this. you can have your preference :D if you leave others to have theirs.

[BetaBucks]

Sure, but I have a pretty wide range. Basically 5' to 5'8". Too short would be uncomfortable for me and too tall would be too masculine for me.

[osmanthus]

It depends. A domestic partner is likely someone I would most likely want to be about the same, because I'm around the person a lot, and having to navigate having to change things around the home constantly can be cumbersome.

[osmanthus]

I'm not opposed to a taller man though. I'm not quite 5 feet tall so a man taller than 5,6 is really heading up there for me. I'll figure something out.

[osmanthus]

It's kind of like how I compare fitting my shoes; I'd much prefer stringless shoes for everyday walking and gym than with laces that I only use during more formal events.

[JHAYES317]

@osmanthus what about a man shorter than you?

[Berethor]

@osmanthus men are taller than women on average, therefore tall = masculine.

[osmanthus]

@JHAYES317 I been with a man shorter than myself, so I cannot comment on any challenges or issues. Most men have been above 5 feet.

[osmanthus]

haven't

[Likes2drive]

As long as she is shorter than me then it’s no big deal and most women are so it’s not hard to find, my current girlfriend is 7 inches shorter than me

[Berethor]

7 inches is above average height gap between men and women, impressive. :)

[Likes2drive]

@Berethor Yeah she is only 5’3” and likes that she can wear heels anytime

[Nikki1989]

I always preferred short people, but it is not a big deal.

[FarmBoy13]

Absolutely makes a difference….. I’m 6’2” and I like shorter women. Like if a girl is between 5’3” and 5’7” I find that smoking hot. There is wiggle room but that range is perfect

[Berethor]

A shorter women helps men to feel more masculine and dominant, so it's nice. :)

[FarmBoy13]

@Berethor you are absolutely correct…… plus when they hug me and have to reach up and kinda hang on me…… so fucking hot

[CaitlinSims25]

I prefer shorter men and never was that bothered with tall men and I felt scared around some very tall men. I'm 4'11 . I only wear some shoes with square heels that small. All my previous ex boyfriend were shorter then me part from one tall men that did cheated on me. one ex boyfriend of shorter men did also cheat. Did also get rude comment on here to.

[Berethor]

You want a beta male? are you a dominatrix or something? love to feel masculine?

[CaitlinSims25]

No I'm not fucking interested in any type of sex like that. I just prefer shorter men over the tall men has be very immature and rude.

[Anonymous]

Yes. Tall was mellower and more confident. Less to prove to the world so less angry.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not exactly but I'd PREFER a tall girl. My ex-fiance was only 5' 3", 18" shorter than me.

[itsannalee]

5’3”is short, just like me. I’m 5’5”

[itsannalee]

5’4” typo

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, it didn't stop us from staying together for a decade. She was a perfect fit in bed. Every night, I'd put my right arm under her head with her back pressed against my chest and my left leg between her legs and my thigh pressed up against her pussy and my left arm draped over her left side and holding her right tit. We'd stay like that almost all night long. Sometimes, I'd wake up and plant little kisses on her nose, lips or cheek before going back to sleep.

[itsannalee]

I didn’t ask about the bed. But was replying your opinion. Coz u said prefer tall girl, but 5’3 is not tall. Women under 5’4” are petite.

[FunkyMonkee]

I know, and I was just saying that she was a perfect fit for me in bed when we'd snuggle up.

[Peridot25]

@FunkyMonkee And why is she your ex?

[Peridot25]

Sounds like you’re not over her

[FunkyMonkee]

@Peridot25 Because she cheated on me!
It's kinda hard to "get over" someone that you planned to spend the rest of your life with and you already spent a decade madly in love with. We DID have a LOT of great times together and made TONS of great memories so, it's REALLY HARD to just ERASE someone that was such a huge and HUGE and important part of my life!! Maybe YOU can fuck `em and forget all about `em! I take my relationships seriously and intend for them to last a long time. I'm, not interested in just a quick fuck unless that's what she intended it to be but, even then, I don't think I'd even be that interested. I'm pretty sure I have to feel something for someone before I can fuck them.
As for "getting over her", I haven't talked to her in about 20 years! Last I heard from that mini-bitch, she was accusing me of trying to get into her niece's panties just because I told her that she's gorgeous. All I know about her last 23 years is that she lives in Denmark, now and, apparently, teaches at a university over there. Even if she came back over here and begged to be my girlfriend again, I wouldn't have her!! Once a cheater, always a cheater!!

[exitseven]

Not really. I am 6 feet tall and would not have a problem with somebody shorter or taller.

[Byte131]

No, not at all, I know a lot of women are hung up on finding a guy that is taller, not sure why. But for me it doesn't matter. It's about attitude and personality.. plus I know the saying of "dynamite comes in small packages" lol

[Berethor]

Men are taller than women on average, therefore it a masculine trait. :)

[art84]

Short girls like 5'0 to 5'2 anything shorter would be weird and make the girl look like a kid.

[ArrowheadSW]

Oh I think it might matter a little, but it is more about "the person" than the hight.

[Starrrboy]

Yeah, she just has to be shorter than me... and I used to think anything under 5'3 is too short but my recent crushes have been shorter than that...

[Berethor]

A girl too short is like guy too tall, it almost impossible, shortness is feminine.

[NathanDavis]

not a thing to be concerned with, not for me anyway...

[Unit1]

I rather talk about sand grains than care about height.

[Retsam]

As Men most of us won't eliminate you cause of height cause it doesn't matter for us.

Woman mostly want a man equal height or taller. Studies show they go for someone 6-10 inches taller

[LiamJHayden]

Nope., although some size disparities can be so extreme as to cause logistics issues.

[Lynx122]

Yes if she's below 7 feet I'm not interested :)

[Kabluie]

Never really has, dated both sides of spectrum and 4'10 and 6'1 and both are awesome qualities. One of my current partners is 5'1.

[RebelinSteel]

Not really I’ve dated 5’2 to 6’2, not an issue

[nik0102]

Personal preference and wanting a specific height difference in relation to your height are very different things.

The later being mostly prejudice and insecurities for both sexes

[thegreenyogi]

Yes it does. I am already quite tall and I am attracted to men that are taller than me.

[Berethor]

As do most women, women want a man more masculine than themselves. :)

allthetropes.org/wiki/All_Amazons_Want_Hercules

[Wimpyshrimp]

I’m 5’ it’s pretty tough to be shorter than me but it does. 5’3” MINIMUM

[Ms_Facesitter]

Barely. I actually prefer to be the tallest now :)

[Berethor]

You like to date beta males? is it a BDSM thing or something? you dominatrix?

[Ms_Facesitter]

@Berethor Does not being 6 ft make him less of a man? Not from my experience.

[Dnice1]

I'm happy if he's taller than me and I'm 5'1

[JHAYES317]

@dnice1 what if he was the same height?

[Berethor]

@JHAYES317 a man should be taller, not same height, tall = masculine.

[Anonguyfella]

Don’t worry gents I’m 6’3” and have been rejected literally every time I’ve tried. We’re all fucked…

[Anonymous]

I don’t really care about height i prefer taller but still i’m open for every height

[JHAYES317]

@anonumous every height? You’d date a 4 ft tall man?

[Jennz6]

I like taller men

[Zoi1986]

Not really I’m 158 in cm most folks are taller then me.

[12karen]

Irl don't want to date a guy shorter than me tbh

[JHAYES317]

@12karen username checks out

[12karen]

@JHAYES317 what you want, ain't gonna date a shorter guy, I can't see myself with a 5'2

[12karen]

And I worry about my future kids' height, I don't want them to feel insecure bc of their height

[Berethor]

@12karen short males are beta males, girls want the best genes for their kids.

[12karen]

@Berethor exactly 💯

[JHAYES317]

@Berethor gtfo here troll

[JHAYES317]

@12karen what if you marry a tall guy and still have a short kid…then what

[12karen]

@JHAYES317 it's almost almost impossible to have short kids if I marry a tall guy, do you know what genetics is

[JHAYES317]

@12karen I do yes. And plenty of tall parents have short kids and short parents can have tall kids. Michael Jordan’s parents were short for example.

[12karen]

@JHAYES317 he's a basketball player, he got taller by playing basketball

[Berethor]

@12karen the beta male has blocked me, that it pretty funny, was a coward. :)

[Anonymous]

I don't care about heights but when it comes to dancing she has to be either closer to my own height or shorter than myself but I don't mind dancing with tall women.

[PrettyCrumblBb]

I'm attracted to tall guys.

[FreyaRed]

Number 1 on my checklist.

[JHAYES317]

@freyared so you’d take a taller guy that isn’t loyal to you over a shorter guy that is?

[Berethor]

@FreyaRed women want the strongest genes for their children, so make sense.

[FreyaRed]

@JHAYES317 Loyalty isn't predictable, body high is just easily visible. Generally short men tend to be more impulsive. Lack of self control isn't a plus in matter of loyalty.

[rachel776]

i like very tall

[DryGermanGuy]

Tall girls are a plus… so, yes. 🙂

[Ladsin2]

I could date any height.

[Sugar100]

Yes he need be 6ft and over

[MicahRaine]

I don't put much value on height.

[clampfan101]

Short is cute. Tall is hot. Win-win.

[Anonymous]

It does only sometimes.

[Iron_Man]

Well yes, I don’t want her below 5 feet

[jjj101010]

Not to me

[jjj101010]

@itsannalee how tall r u?

[itsannalee]

About 5’4

[jjj101010]

That’s a nice height

[Anonymous]

Not really. It's all about her body shape!

[jazzy34]

No it doesn’t.

[Serkee]

Not really, no.

[Anonymous]

My height or taller

[bowenw]

It is irrelevant.

[eagle1951]

nope

[jahaims]

Yeah
