And do you prefer taller or is that just right?
Girls do you consider 5'8" short for a guy?
And do you prefer taller or is that just right?
Im a guy, obviously lol...but I'm just going to copy/paste what I said about this in another question not too long ago. Coming from a guy who is actually short (im 5'5) I can tell you straight up that women look down on you, and they don't consider you as a potential mate even slightly...and judging by the responses above, I'm not too far off it would seem. However ,i find that most guys who complain about their height here don't actually know what short is ,because when I ask them how tall they are, its usually 5'8 and above. If you are 5'8 and above, you are fine. Too much shorter, and you will have a lot of problems
Yeah I'm happy with my height. Just thought I'd get some opinions out of curiosity. And I wouldn't give up hope dude. There's a lot of girls shorter than you

Also, what is the median height for guys? Averages are kind of silly to follow because one 8' person could throw the average up when he is within a population of 5' tall people.
It is shorter than the average in the united states... I personally like guys that are 6'2" or taller. I come from a family of tall people and am more comfortable with that height, but yeah... 5'8" is too short for me. I would be taller than him half of the time
What about the other half?
Mysterious answer, indeed!
...Though it does kind of suck to see most of these girls are out of our league, right QA? =(
What's strange is when you read up on how height growth occurs, you realize that taller doesn't = stronger but does = shorter lifespan and greater need for body maintenance.
Not really when being tall runs in your family. Especially if you are all athletes. Half of time I am wearing Heels, so unless he wants to be 2 inches shorter than me when we go out that is on him :L
I think with my casuals on I could go up to about 5'10" actually (admittedly the comfy sole inserts add a slight increase).
I think I could get some dressy platform shoes and probably get another inch or two for when I go out. They even make some that are discreet so that you cannot tell they are platforms. A guy could totally fool you into thinking he's 4 inches taller...hmmm, I wonder...
I'm not going for someone who is 5'10".
I would be 6'0" if I went with the elevators. I could get it up to 6'2" if I got the biggest ones =)
(they aren't as discreet though =/)
Regardless, the point is you would only be disappointed when you see me take my shoes off, because in theory you wouldn't be able to tell unless you looked inside of the shoes.
You can tell by the way guys walk in those.
Girls do you consider 5'8" short for a guy?
I consider it short as the average for my country is 5'10''.
And do you prefer taller or is that just right?
I prefer average height or taller.
It's close enough to average. I'm like 5'6 1/2 or 5'7 so you're still taller than me. I'd date someone your height.
I'd date you too but you're already taken lol
lol okay

Depending on the nation you live in, it could be short or average
In my opinion, it's too short for a guy. I do prefer taller but plenty of girls are OK with a five foot 8 inched guy
Yes,I think its short...for men.I think the average it more like 5'10".
How tall do you like your guys?
I don't think so. I am 5'7 so I would still date a guy who is 5'8.
Do you wear heels?
Well...Im 5'8 and a half. I'm also blond, sh*t...tough life in the hood.
IM like 5'4 at the most so that's fine anything taller then me is fine my baby is 6'5 and I love it
No, I think that's a pretty average height. I'm 5'3 so you'd still be pretty tall compared to me.
Yes, it's short for a guy. I prefer guys who are taller.
How tall are you?
Well I'm 5'7 and I feel like a midget at times ;/
How tall do you like your girls?
It's average. A little taller than Tom Cruise that's for sure. But too short for me.

How tall are you?
not exactly short but a little less than average and too short for me...
How tall are you?
5'8 is manlet. 5'10 - 5'11 is average height for men and 6ft and up is attractive/handsome. Why is this so hard to understand? Silly, low IQ, manlet boys - the kings of delusion and coping. Absolute clowns...
Its short for a guy but I would date him anyway (im also 5'8"). And yes I would prefer taller.
Do you wear heels?
It's kinda short, but not really short. The average height for U.S. men is 5'10.
