How much does a guy's height matter?

Question

Would you reject a guy for being 'short'?

Don't know about other countries but India height doesn't matter much unless the girl is taller than guy... height below 5'4" and above 5'10" are generally not considered attractive for guys... again average male height in India is around 5'5" to 5'6". I have been to a few Asian countries including Japan... in most of them 5'7"-5'8" considered ideal height for men... never been to west so no idea.

It doesn't matter at all, past the point of you simply being taller than the particular girl in question.

Haha im barely 5 foot with shoes on so pretty much the only guys i ever had to worry about rejecting are Danny Devito and the hobbits from lord of the rings... but no height didn't matter to me when i was single... come on wouldn't that be a little the pot calling the kettle black of me? Ya im barely tall enough for the front seat air bag but i dont like u cuz your short.. lol.. see?

As much as a girl's physical appearance matters to most: is it 100% strict, "must be this tall to ride" sort of speak? For most women, no. We prefer men taller than us, and being taller the better for the most part until the case gets extreme.

My ideal height in men are 5'10"-6', but I've been attracted to guys 5'6"-5'8" as well.

I'm not too strict on height. I don't know the obsession with being 6 feet and over. I'm 5'6. As long as he's my height or taller, I don't care.

ninahov · Answer

in MY personal opinion, i think short guys are super attractive! it's a nice change from all the tall guys and it makes the guy unique. lots of girls disagree with me and have a certain height standard for their ideal men, but some girls, like me, don't care at all. hope this helped!

ill be 100% honest i like tall men, however i recently have been crushing on a guy who is totally out of my physical appearance preference, he is short and skinny, and even though i find tall muscular guys hot, with his personality the short skinny nerd is winning me over more and more so no i wouldn't totally reject a guy for being short. its all about the personality

splashofyellow · Answer

For me it really doesn't because I'm so short myself.
I'm 5'1" myself so guys are rarely shorter than me.

However, I don't know how I would feel about someone being shorter than me cause that has never happened. I don't know if it would be a such big deal that I would reject them just because of their height.

Nuyuu · Answer

There is a statistic for average height per country... except some 3rd world countries, it tells you the *average* don't go more than 5-10cm ('4" for retards) and you should be just fine, of course the girl's got to accept you regardless, height is rarely an excuse.

thesongwentonforever · Answer

The shortest I'd be most okay with is probably 5'7". I probably feel odd if he was over 6'1" but I don't know. The former is shorter than average, but I'm 5'5" and although height is cool, I'd rather not date a tree, either. But! It really depends.

Noasify · Answer

No, If I would like a short guy, I`m not gonna reject him just because he`s shorter than me, that`s not how love works.

Personally I like it when a guy is taller than me, but I also like it when he`s shorter, I look more for personality.

indieleigh · Answer

I'm pretty small. Im only just 5'2, the people I have seen have been over 6 foot but I don't think k height really matter. with some girls they just feel like a taller guy is going to be better for some reason. where as height reallybhavd nothing to do with them as a person

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I'd rather he wàs around my height or taller. Might forgive him if he's an inch shorter coz I don't wear heels. I am already taller than most girls I know (I'm 5'6 which apparentally is tall in my country) so I don't want to look like his mum.

LaFemmeFatale · Answer

If he's taller than me I have no problem. I am 162 cm  I wouldn't reject him for height if I liked him enough.

kaylaS91 · Answer

As long as he's not so short that he's below my jawline or something, his height wouldn't be the primary reason why I may reject a guy.

daydream446 · Answer

I'm short so that has never really bothered me as all guys (even the short ones) tend to be taller than me 😂

If I didn't wear 6 in. heels on the daily when I'm normally 5'5", it might be okay. Because I do, though, I need a guy who is at least 3 inches taller than me.

menina · Answer

Yes, it's important to me. I prefer guys who are taller than me.
