Guys, how tall do you like your women? Girls, how tall would you prefer to be?

Question

I never cared to be a model, but I would’ve loved to have that model height of like 5’10+. However, 5’5-5’7 was my dream height. But I’m managing as a 5’2 and a halfer 🤣  #FeelFreeToList

Well, as OP knows, I'm short and have sh*t-tier height for a guy that's "not tall whatsoever, but not short enough to get sympathy for it either" (even if she has a height range preference that like 95% of guys fall into). I'm not 5'8", but that's probably THE most "short but not short enough to complain" worst possible height to be on a guy. I'm pretty close to that sh*t, though.

Because of this, I have no interest in dating a short girl; 5'6" (167 cm) and under. I mean, it's definitely not a dealbreaker or anything, but being part of a "short couple" is so degrading and humiliating to me. It has little to do with her, but all I'm going to think is "if she wasn't short, she wouldn't be with me" and that this is the best I could get. In other words, it feels severely like settling. Because we all know girls of all sizes pretty much ONLY want tall guys (with a few very rare exceptions, like OP). The guys who aren't tall are considered "settling" by women. I don't want to be some 38 year old's consolation prize date, especially if she's only like 5'6" or something (she wouldn't even be my height in heels). Besides, we all know short girls tend to want tall guys THE MOST, and other men tend to find them the most attractive and desirable, so it's a double situation of "I kinda don't really want them, and they DEFINITELY don't want me."

Also, I just find tall women insanely sexy. They're like large powerful goddesses, so much bigger and more commanding than short girls. Ideally, I would be 6'5" (195 cm) and my parter would be 6'3.5" (191 cm) so we both can be King Size. But since my genetics are utter dogsh*t in height, looks, complexion, and even dick size, at least ONE of us should be full adult size! So yeah, I want a tall girl.

5'6" (167 cm) and under: A short girl. We'd be a midget couple.

5'7"-5'9" (170-175 cm): Not ideal, but I'll accept her.

5'10" (178 cm): Nice height on a girl; what most models are. I'd prefer taller, though.

6'0"-6'1" (183 cm-185 cm): This is where she starts to be legit tall. I like girls this size.

6'2"-6'4" (188 cm-193 cm): This is the GOLDEN ZONE for my ideal kind of girl. Very tall, extremely sexy.

6'5" (195 cm) and up: At this point, finding a girl this tall off the basketball court is pretty much near impossible. I'd like a girl 6'5" and over, but it's highly unlikely, even in The Netherlands. Plus, at this height, she'd guaranteed want a guy taller than me; at least 6'1" or 6'2".

So girls 6'2" to 6'4" are what I find irresistible, but girls 6'0" and up are what I find attractive and most sexy on women. No, I DON'T care if most guys are into super-short girls and they find petiteness sexy. I'm also not taller than most of those guys, either. I like tall and at least one of us shouldn't be so short.

And I think the Victoria's Secret model in the second pic has the best legs.

WesBrewer · Accepted Answer

The girl with the best legs is the girl with the white thing, the jean shorts, and the red top thing, as you can see I have no idea what they are called. as to my dream height since I myself am 6' 3" as long as they are shorter than me I am ok with it, but my dream height is shorter than 5' 4".

CubsterShura · Accepted Answer

I'm also 5'2.5"/158.75cm tall. My height is actually a little tall compared to the average height for women in my country, I am taller than my mother and older sister (4'10"-ish and 5'0"), and most other females in my family from both my parents' side. When men look for a wife they usually prefer 5'1" to 5'4" range. So height-wise I pretty much hit the jackpot for our country's female beauty standards.

It was after I started using the internet during my mid-teens that I learned that I am actually pretty short in global standard and that was kind of a shock because of how I grew up being told that I am tall. I had interracial relationships and those boyfriends were like "woah you are so short". But I guess even that is an advantage since most men in Western cultures do prefer petite women and I am fairly petite yet not ridiculously short.

So I am pretty happy with my height. No complaints except my height being in a decimal (in both inch and cm) so I have to round it up for things like measuring BMI. I know it's not a big deal but it's such a pet peeve.

Gurdy2816 · Accepted Answer

I feel like the grass is always greener on the other side. I am 5'8 which isn't exactly model height, but I still wish I was a little shorter. Whenever I walk into a room I always notice that I am the tallest (out of the women), or if I am talking to other women I am generally taller than them which sometimes makes me insecure. I am not sure why.

Just know there is someone out there wishing they were your height and FRICKEN OWN IT!

imanengineer · Answer

I frequently get rejected simply because of my height. I'm 5ft. 7in., and it seems like women don't have any interest in anyone under 6ft. Knowing that, I've kind of been hoping maybe girls shorter than me or up to roughly my height would give me a chance. The tallest girl I've ever tried to ask for a date was 5ft. 9in. (and all I ended up getting was one friendly hug from her, never a date). So while I could see going up to 5'8" or 5'9" or so, I seem to have adjusted my preference to be shorter than 5'7".

While height technically shouldn't matter because it should be what's inside a person that actually counts, I can see how there could be some "logistical issues" if you want to call them that. When it comes to hugs and kisses, something I'll admit I have no personal experience with, the expectation from society/stereotypes seems to be that the man is supposed to lean in/down and the lady should always be coming toward/up to him to meet him for it. According to those same expectations, it's not considered manly for a guy to have to stand on his toes or reach up.

I'm personally not a fan of stereotypes, but it seems like there are a lot of people who are much more superficial than I am. And for those to which it matters, hey, Tom Cruise and Richard Hammond are also 5'7"! All I'll say is that anyone who decides they don't want to get to know me because I'm only 5'7" is missing out - it's her loss, not mine. If someone is taller than me, I'm willing to get to know them more, but from my experience, they usually aren't willing to get to know me.

Jusin · Answer

I personally find the 5’5-5’7 height range to be perfect and even below or above that is ok. You height is your height. I wouldn't not date a shorter girl than my range but if they were taller than me it would be weird to me as I'm used to being taller than the vast majority of women I've known.

Who has the best set of legs in the pics? I find that Milla Jovovich, Taylor Swift and Gal Gadot has the sexiest legs of the group. but they're all nice and sexy legs except the tattooed one that's a no go for me. She has nice legs but the tattoos ruin it for me.

SnuffleMuffins · Answer

Height doesn't matter at all to me. I would love to date girls across the entire spectrum. I think each range of height has their own uniqueness just like each girl has their own unique personality.

As far as who has the best legs/thighs form the pictures...
I'd say Taylor Swift and the girl on the 5th slide bottom right wearing the red top and jean short shorts sitting with her leg crossed.
I'm totally drooling over Taylor Swift's legs! 😵 They look so hot and I would love to gently run my hands over them while kissing them passionately up and down as I stroke her thighs from the bottom up.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm 5'4.5'' but people usually think I'm like 5'6'. Could be the big curly hair, could be the big personality I don't know

I like my height now, actually. When I was younger, I wished I was tall because people respect tall people more in business and such, as leaders. Maybe I wanted to try modeling for a quick second, but it wasn't my main interest. Then I had like 5 seconds when I thought being shorter would be even more attractive because guys love short girls like 5' - 5'3. But I wouldn't actually want to be short for the same reasons I wanted to be tall. Also, I like my legs.

I love tall men too. Like 5'11+. They're very attractive. I'd look even sillier when dating tall men if I were 5'1 or something. (Not that this would stop me lol)

Hannah_98 · Answer

I’m nearly 5’8 but I’d prefer to be much shorter (5’2ish) or, at the very least, more average height (5’4-5’6). With my build, I feel like I just come off really awkward and gangly at my height. Plus, it doesn’t seem like most guys want to be with a woman who’s close to his height, if not taller.

babygirlå654 · Answer

im women and also short one but Honest i Also like More shorter hight. As for men and women i prefer more short people, i dont know why, but i hink its cute to Be short. not like dwarf or anything but Im like 157cm and only reason i would like to Be higher is that u have to Be 160cm or More. so thats not my option anymore cause i dont grown anymore. I think that all of "u must Be enough tall to Be model or something IS bullshit. u Look just fine The way u are right now. :)

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

It doesn't really matter to me so much, as long as they aren't a dwarf or something, but in terms of my dream girl, I'd be up to her shoulder or around that.

I'm 159cm, which is about 5'2, so her height would be about 5'8 or something, not sure.

hahahmm · Answer

That's what high heels and platforms are for. Then you can easily add 5+ inches. Makes your legs look better too.

Anyhow, 6' tall with heels on would be my limit probably. But women are more hung up on height than men. How fit she is and if she has good proportions (same thing) matter way more.

thatguy9388 · Answer

I'm 5'4 and literally just want to be seen as taller cause i'm usually smaller than like every guy and a lot of women. Women that are like 5'2 and under are the only ones I look taller next to so I guess that. I find all heights attractive though, but a lot of women are out of my league and more attractive than I will ever be so it won't work.

Kurαȷ · Answer

I like taller women, around 5'9"~5'10".

Honestly, I just like intimidating women.
Like the whole- resting bitch face, tight ponytail, nerdy glasses, "classroom goes silent, water freezes and plants die around her" bossy teacher kind of a female archetype.
And someone shorter just doesn't do it for me that well.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I prefer petite women. My current girlfriend is 5' 1" and that is just about perfect for me. But height is not a deal breaker for me. I have dated a lady who is 5' 9" (same as my height) and thought she was quite attractive. I have asked girls taller than me for a date but always been rejected because they want a partner who is taller than them. Shallow? Yes. But it is their right to want whatever they want, so I simply moved on to the next contestant!

Jjpayne · Answer

To me, the height does not matter. Even if she is taller than me or very short. It's all about the girl that I'm looking for in terms of personality. However, little taller than me, same height or a little shorter than me would all be equal in my eyes

Lliam · Answer

I'm 6'2" and have a thing for petite little spinners. 5'2" is my ideal. It's amazing when they look tall and elegant until you get up next to them and realize that they are mini-models. Every girlfriend I ever had was between 5'2" and 5'6". My wife is 5'5".

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

Height isn't a deal breaker for me whether my partner is taller or shorter than me.
That said, I did really enjoy having a boyfriend who's about the same height as me. It's more convenient for kissing and cuddling, and it means we can borrow each other's clothes lol. Plus, I like being picked and and being able to pick my partner up, so someone my size means we can swap who does the picking up

BloJo · Answer

I am quite tall (6’5”). I would not want to be with a short girl because it would make some things difficult. I have to bend over just to kiss my wife, and she is 5’7”.
Other activities are also more challenging because of our height disparity. I love my wife, but sometimes I wish that she were taller.

A_Bell · Answer

At 5-11, I am ideal model hight, but definitely don't have model looks.

I like being tall, and athletic, as I don't have those constant fears of men that short women seem to have.

In heels, it's also nice to see above the crowd, lol.

Diversity_Hire · Answer

So to start with, I'm a bit of a giant, and one of my turn-on's is contrast; I absolutely adore girls 5'4" and under.

On the flip side of that, tall girls get me going too. Rarely do I meet women remotely near my height, but when I do I'm often in awe.

Guido · Answer

We cantchoose the height of the person we fall in love with. My wife is only 1 inch shorter then me and I'm 5'10. I prefer shorter by about 4 inches or more. I find petite women are a turn on but then i marry tall. In the end personality takes a priority.

TallAnon · Answer

I don't really care, it's all the same to me. I'm kinda curious to date a 6'5 girl, still shorter, but I can look her in the eyes. That said, mostly been with girls around 5'4ish? I guess? I never bothered to check since it doesn't really matter to me.

EaterPeter · Answer

If I were you I would be happy with my self being height weight proportionate. Managing the factors which are manageable. I would add comfortable inch and half to my height no more than that using right footwear. I would try to stay fit toned non obese even average body would be fine for me. Below average not so much. I like them at any height.

Elliegirl · Answer

I’m 5’9” a s very happy with my height. For your legs question, Taylor Swift has the best legs. She has beautiful, long, sexy legs.

Shiver · Answer

I give pretty much zero flying fucks about height. I'm like 170-173cm-ish, so I'm really short, but I've dated and hooked up with girls around 180-190cm before. My girlfriend is 172cm so we're about the same height.

Anonymous · Answer

5 cm more and I'd be the happiest person in town. I'm very short (160 cm), but I wouldn't want to be as tall as most models since most men in my country are short too.

As for the best legs, Taylor Swift at her skinniest had killer legs. If I can throw in a different person with nice legs, I'd say Alexa Chunghttps://encrypted-tbn0. gstatic. com/images? q=tbn:ANd9GcTMWkNNJToIvn7cj_k5OOISLyNOMT7deg-ENQ&usqp=CAU

MrOracle · Answer

I'm 5'10" but I've always been most attracted to petite girls. I've dated girls as tall as 5'9", so it's not like be3 taller is a dealbreaker, but at least 60% of the girls I've dated were 5'4" or below.

God_of_Thunder · Answer

It's not a deal breaker, or anything, but I have a preference for short women. Anything between about 4'9" & 5'3" is "ideal" for me.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Eh, I mean 5’10” would be nice, but think of ALL the guys you’d miss out on? None of us WANT to date a guy who’s shorter than we are, so by staying short (I’m 5’4” ish) we get o LOT more choices!

Hogwheels · Answer

Honestly, shorter than me is all that matters but I'm 6'2 so that's not really an issue most of the time. Any height under 6'2 doesn't matter how short or tall.

Apple1996 · Answer

I'm pretty sure guys are into short girls. Everytime I tell a guy my height they always say it's attractive that I'm so tiny. Don't understand why but they like it.

Guys are more concerned of their dick size than girls height.
Now coming to specifically girls, again for guys girls height doesn't matter, all that matter is she should be a girl.
A girl is more than enough for any guy.

I'd like to think I have a range. 5'2 to about my height, 5'11. I'm fine with a little shorter, as long as she still breaks 5 ft, and a little taller, if it doesn't go higher than 6'2.

For the most part, I just want a comfortable height to hug her lol.
