Girls, is it true that height doesn't matter as long as he is taller than you?

[ShortCircuit]

Are you satisfied as long as your guy is taller than you are, or is it "the taller, the better"?

I'll explain what I mean with a scenario:
Guy A and Guy B are exactly alike in both looks and personality. The only difference is their heights. Both Guy A and Guy B are taller than you, but Guy A is a foot taller than you, while Guy B is only a few inches taller than you.
Does Guy A have any leverage over Guy B, or are both guys equally attractive in your eyes?

Guy A is better

Guy B is better

they are equal

Before anyone else answers, I IMPLORE you to actually read the description. I am not asking the general "does height matter?" question. I am not asking whether or not you would date a guy shorter than you.

I am asking, if faced with a scenario that involves two guys who are exactly the same in every way except for height and in which both of them are taller than YOU, but one is taller than the other, which you would choose.

[ebbyeb]

Height honestly doesn't matter to me at all. It really doesn't make a difference. I like someone for who they are on the inside.. Outside is just a bonus if they're attractive lol. But yeah.. The guy that I've been crushing on lately is a few inches shorter than me but I honestly don't care at all. If anything, it makes him more cute and lovable haha. As for your typical girl, I think most would like the taller guy so that she can feel smaller.. Females like to feel smaller around a male for the most part. Hope it helps!

[3-BakersBread-3]

Why do they like to feel smaller usually?

[ebbyeb]

@3-BakersBread-3 it's a sort of biological instinct. Like a "bigger stronger" man sorta thing. In turn, it allows us to feel safer and more "sheltered" so to say.. Which in turn makes us feel slightly more vulnerable and eventually we just feel smaller. It's a bit of a process but it definitely happens. So typically, a women enjoys this feeling of being "smaller" (even though the physical size isn't all that relevant and doesn't encompass all that I'm saying)... So yes! Hope that answers your question well :)

[ebbyeb]

@ShortCurcuit You're absolutely right I should've read the question better. I answered this late last night so I wasn't thinking straight. But hmm.. To answer your question properly I suppose if I absolutely HAD to choose I'd chose the taller male simply because of what I was just explaining above ^... Feeling "smaller" I suppose.. It doesn't matter to much, but I think I'd enjoy being the shorter one in a relationship. And I suppose the shorter the better because personally I like heels a lot haha and if a guy was only a few inches taller.. While that's not bad at all.. I guess the point of heels is to sorta "catch" up to your guy but never quite reach him. That's part of the fun in wearing them. So yes, I'd choose the tallest of the two in the end of everything simply because I enjoy the feeling of feeling "small" in that way. It's not a deal maker or breaker it just so happens to be that way haha. Okay cool I feel better now that I answered you better! 👌🏼

In that particular scenario, if Guy A is a foot or more taller than me, he's 7'1"+. Way too tall. There's more than a foot difference in height between my parents, and I don't want to ever be in that situation lol.

My husband is a couple of inches taller than me and it's perfect. Chances are, because I'm a giant myself, I'm going to be as tall or taller than an average guy on the dating scene, if I was going to date again.

[3-BakersBread-3]

Height is a stupid barometer to measure love upon. If a man is 4'7" or 7'2", he is still a man of valor and worth getting to know. You can't be attracted to a man just because he is a certain height because if he wasn't that height, you'd still like him.

[fauchelevent]

Ehh, height does matter a little more than just being taller. I'm 5'2, I wouldn't wanna date someone (male or female, so it's not really a thing about how men must be taller) who was only 5'3, even though they're taller. In that scenario, Guy B would be the one I'd choose just because there's no way I'd really e into dating someone a foot taller than me, that's way too much.

[Watermelon15]

well as long as he is taller which they both are but If one of them are more than a few inches the second guy would be maybe more attractive I don't know but at the same time - im 5'8 and if he was a foot taller than me that would mean he was 6'8 which is REALLY tall, sooo I don't know really just depends on the guy - i would say a hight inbetween their heights would be great. more than a few inches but less than a foot over me.

[ShortCircuit]

I see what you mean, thanks

[Bleh-___-]

I'm cool with it as long as he's taller than me. I do have a such thing as too tall though. 6ft is the max for me before I start feeling weird. I'd go with the guy who's a few inches taller

[RJGraveyTrain]

If the two guys were identical the taller one would have the advantage. Plain and simple most women find a guy being taller more attractive but won't write a guy off for not being significantly taller.

[transgirlamanda]

i think it doesn't matter, it's nice to have a guy who is taller than you, to be like there for you and help you and you being cute and shorter ans stuff, but it's not a deal breaker. i personally don't​ care, but if a guy is taller than me, it's not a con.

[ShortCircuit]

Did you read the description? Both guys are taller than you, but one is a foot taller than you and the other is only a few inches taller than you.

[transgirlamanda]

i did. and i said i don't care.

[evelyn26]

I would go with the one I like more. A few inches and a foot should never matter. Personally, I like tall guys. If he is too tall he is too far to reach lol I'm only 5'3

[someho]

I would still pay attention with whom i'm happier, who treats me nicer.

Of course being taller is a pro, but then again if i'm not feeling him as much as the other guy then it doesn't really matter.

[Mickii]

For the sake of argument, if all else is equal, I'd choose whomever is the most aesthetically pleasing, in this case the taller one.

[Anonymous]

i dont really care about height, as long as he's taller than me.
But a taller guy is more attractive, but that doesn't mean ill choose a taller guy over a short guy, its all about the personality :)

[ShortCircuit]

And I'm saying that their personalities are exactly the same. Does that mean you would choose the taller one?

[Opinion Owner]

well if they are two clones, and look exactly the same and would answer exactly the same then yes would

[Nyx_85]

So like are both guys directly in front of me in some sort of weird dating show?

In that event I propose a dance off.

[audrey_aisha]

They are equal it doesn't matter my boyfriend is only 3 inches taller than me and that doesn't make a difference.

[audrey_aisha]

Guy B

[ShortCircuit]

Thank you for the input. Might I ask why you chose Guy B?

[audrey_aisha]

I chose B because B is just more fitting for height but it really doesn't make any difference.

[ZWinchester]

It would be nice for the guy to be taller but I wouldn't mind a shorter guy. It depends on the type of girl. I feel as if more dominant girls want a smaller guy? That is how I feel at least.

[3-BakersBread-3]

More dominant men also want a smaller woman.

[alice55]

Honestly if everything is the same and the only different is their height, I would take the taller one.
I just like being around very tall people.

[Anonymous]

If all is equal, I would choose the taller guy. As long as the guy is taller than me, then it isn't a deal breaker height wise. I don't really think I would like someone shorter because I am only 5'3"

[Anonymous]

So annoying i hear this question 2947489 times a day. Fukc you. Why do you fuqqing careeeeee you can't change your height gtf over it already. You are FINE.

[brandyismylife]

one time i met a guy exactly my height and didn't mind... but that was a rare case

[CubsterShura]

Both are awesome in their own ways soooo... yeah equal. :)

[CubsterShura]

Regarding update, I'd love to date the short guy because he would be easier to date for me. But I'd choose the taller one because I'm short and there needs to be a good balance for our kids.

[meandane]

I'd prefer guy a. But i'd definitely go for guy b too.

[Chelbythesea]

I prefer guy B as I'm already tall and wouldn't like that much of a height difference with guy A.

[absyboo]

I think height difference is cute, but when it comes down to it it wouldn't really matter.

[the_snazzy_sloth]

I love taller guys so I don't feel like Imma crush him when he picks me up and slams me against the wall😉

[Anonymous]

I actually on't mind if a guy is shorter than me, as long as I like him (face, body, personality).

[Lunaroxi]

I'm 5ft 10. ex was shorter than me
Will confess I would like someone taller than me just so I could feel small. But it's personality not height you look for

[ambrianne]

We prefer taller guys, yes, because (I think) it gives us a protected kind of feeling, but if he's shorter I don't think it's a major problem.

[SarahsSummer]

id say the taller guy would have a slight edge

[ShortCircuit]

That's kinda what I figured... Thanks, anyway.

[SarahsSummer]

But no two guys have the exact same everything else. That's why personality is so important and probably even a bigger edge than tallness.

[Flying34]

taller. just depends on his junk size 😀

[COCOCHANEL]

height doesn't matter
looks. voice. mannerisms.

[ShortCircuit]

Would height matter if both guys' looks, voice, and mannerisms were exactly, precisely, 100% identical?

[COCOCHANEL]

i actually prefer under 5'11

[SunsetLover]

As long as he isn't shorter than me, he's good.

[3-BakersBread-3]

What makes you so special that you have to be the shorter one?
