I'm 4'10 yes I know I'm really short. The guy I like is well over a foot taller than me and I just wanted to know if height is really a problem. Do guys prefer short or tall girls?
Do guys prefer short girls or tall girls?
It depends on the guy. As for me, I am a tall skinny guy who stands 6-foot-1 so I gravitated toward short heavyset girls. Case in point. One of my short heavyset girlfriends was more fat than stocky and she was incredibly strong! She stood only 4-foot-9 but she weighed in at a massive 190 pounds while I weighed in at a measly 125 pounds (10 lbs skinnier than I am right now) even though I towered over her by an incredible sixteen inches! One day, she boldly challenged me to a weightlifting contest to find out which one of us could lift a bigger, heavier barbell overhead. I figured I could easily outlift her simply because I stood way taller than she did without even considering the fact that she far outweighed me. She came over to my place where there was a big, heavy, fully-loaded barbell that I had already set up on the floor. I already knew I wasn't strong enough to lift it over my head because I had already tried. I watched her while she lifted that big heavy barbell up from the floor and then she easily swung it up over her shoulders and then she easily lifted it over her head. I just stood there, STUNNED! I told her I couldn't do it but she still wanted to see me try (she said to me: "Now let's see you do it"). While she looked on, I lifted that big, heavy barbell up from the floor but when I tried to lift it over my head, I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT ABOVE MY THIGHS! It didn't turn her off. In fact, it turned the both of us on! Afterward, we both walked over to the sofa where she and I began kissing each other passionately and caressing each other while we both stood in front of each other. I was barechested. I stood so much taller than she did that my nipples actually rose above her mouth!

I'm more than a full foot taller than you at 6'2" and love that height. You feel really small and girly, and I can be really big and manly. The contrast is nice. I love short women! Fun to cuddle with, and if we get married, fun to throw around in the bed too. ;)
do you consider 5'4"/4.5" short or tall? Because that's meee lol
I was gonna explain why some prefer what they do, but you know what...
Dont worry about this. you're either going to grow a bit more or you're stuck where you are. can't change it, no sense in concerning yourself with whether or not guys in general like it. embrace your height and learn to love it. go out and be you. someone will like you. focus on whether or not this guy specifically likes you, not whether or not men in general like your height or dont. I know its easy to do the latter, I think most of us do that as well at some point. put yourself out there, chat him up, and give signs that you're interested while figuring out if he likes you. please don't be one of those "Ive barely spoken to him, but does he like short girls?!" people. you'll drive yourself f***ing crazy and assume that every time someone doesn't like you, or it just doesn't happen between you two, its because of your height when it could be a ton of other reasons.

I've asked a few guys about this, basically most of them agreed that they wouldn't be comfortable with a girl taller than them (though I do personally know a few couples like this). However, they also said that there was such a thing as being "too short", to the point where the girl's height (or lack of I guess) annoyed them. I'm about 5'7" I think, my boyfriend 6'3", when I asked him he basically told me I was about as short as he'd go.

From my experience.. shorter than them.
That could be anything really!
Most men don't like to be towered over, saying that, if you have a 5ft man he will prefer someone under 5ft, if you have a 7ft man, 4ft will most likely be too short!
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule :)

First off you have to understand that for guys height is just a preference, it's not a make it or break it deal like it is for girls. That being said most guys like the girls to be anywhere from 3 inches to a foot shorter. It doesn't however mean that they wouldn't date someone shorter than that... I'm 6'5'' and I find I'm mostly attracted to short girls, like 5'0'' to 5'3''...However I would never make a move on someone like that, because in my mind I think the height difference is too awkward and that's just another reason for her to turn me down. Plus I'm under the impression that short girls don't like really talk guys :p. Like 6'1'', 6'2'' max but nothing above that. That's not to say that if I got to know someone and started liking her and she liked me that I'd pass her up. Best of luck =)

Personally, I don't have any height requirements. I look ore at the eyes and facial features for the physical and then I look inward for charisma, character and chemistry. Generally though, most of the girls I've dated tend to be shorter (between 4'11 and 5'2), but I have dated and would never exclude a woman who was closer to my height.
Generally it all comes down to how well you match up in terms of personality, chemistry and compatibility than how you measure up height wise.
I voted C because I really don't place height constraints on the women I'm attracted to. -
I don't have a preference, but I do sort of get the following vibes:
Short girls tend to be cuter and easier to pick up and carry around and do other things with (*wink wink, nudge nudge*). I feel like they can be bubbly and warm.
Tall girls tend to have really nice bodies (isn't height a requirement for being a model?) and have physically more to love ('twice the size, twice the ride' *wink wink, nudge nudge*). I feel like they can be really cool, too, for some reason, but intimidating to approach.
I'm a slightly short guy (5'8") who has never had a girlfriend, though, so maybe that's why height doesn't matter to me. If the rest are like me, then short guys just want love. -
Well you wrote your height so of course everyone will tell you that's what they prefer, like they do when a girl with small boobs ask about guys' preferred breast size, everyone all of a sudden think they're the best. There are a lot of short guys here so they prefer short. I am very tall so I prefer tall girls.

I'm 6'2" and while I like girls of any height, it is awesome to see girls 5'10"+. It's great being able to see eye-to-eye. But I almost dated a girl your height, actually. But if I could find a girl who is tall, gangly, and super-geeky. That would be perfect.
-
Right now it's 50/50 which in all probabality means that guys like girls to be shorter than them, but for the girl to be around average height for a girls. I'm 186 cm +- 6'1 and I like my girls to be between 165cm(5'4) and 190cm (6'2 ). Being a guy and knowing many guys height is not a top 5 priorty for guys as it is for girls so you shouldn't worry about it.
-
I've seen really tall women who are sexy and really short women who are sexy. Doesn't matter at all to me.
-
The truth is that I mostly like short girls , but that said its not like I dislike tall girls .
So I guess its more of a think of how good a certain girl is for a certain guy and less about how tall or short she may be , there are preferences but there is not a rule about who we may like or not and why we may like them or not . -
Back a few years ago I was 6'1" and dated a girl 4'6" .. This was not a problem for either one of us. We clicked and had a great time together. I wish she did not leave after the school year but, her visa expired and had to go back to Spain. I never heard from her since.
-
I find that I am more attracted to short girls. Short to me is like 5'1''-5'6''. I just think they're so much cuter. Now, that doesn't mean I am not attracted to other girls...I just notice the short ones first.
-
I know I am not going to definitely answer your question due to the fact that I like both. I do not have a preference in height. I mainly are attracted to her legs. I have checked out and liked legs on both short girls and tall girls. But if you are short, I will find you hott if you are not fat. Tall girls have more room to play in that category. But I would say I have been driven nuts by more short girls than tall. But it all depends on her legs.

I've noticed that when it comes to dating that guys just want a girl that isn't taller than them. But I'm 5'3 and my male friends have told me that in terms of attractiveness they'd consider someone my height to be cute and pretty rather than hot and sexy. Not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. I think it all boils down to your personality and the connection you have. If you guys click well then then the height difference won't even be noticeable to either of you.
-
Its not so much that I want them short... but rather I want them shorter than ME. Preferably even when they are wearing heels.
-
I want girls to be cute, I think shorter is cute...
-
I like short and tall girls it really doesn't matter if your short or tall all that matters is if the guy likes you back you should just go ahead and ask the guy if he likes you or start talking to him and ask him if he likes short girls or tall girls he will tell you if he likes u
-
Can't lie I'm a sucker for taller girls, I'm a short guy, but still don't care. I wouldn't disregard a short girl though.
-
I got a questing for everyone... Why does it matter if she tall or short as long she makes you happy and you both get along hahahahaha everyone see picky these daysss
-
I like taller girls. I think there's something weird of towering over girls when they're not in heels. I'd go five inches less but probably no less so 5'5 is my cut off.
-
My preference is usually for short girls, because they are the ones I actually have a chance with. if a taller girl showed interest though, I wouldn't mind dating her either. But that never happens, so I'm usually with shorter women.

Why don't people ever include average in their polls? Like it always has to be the extreme on either end.
