Search Results: which man would you rather date

Ladies, when it comes to finding a partner, what's your "dealbreaker" height? I'm 5'6" so I'm a little on the shorter side. I personally don't have much issue with my height but it definitely has made it difficult finding a gal who accepts my height.

One thing that has me scratching my head quite a bit is that shorter girls (under 5'2-ish) would like guys who are still tall. From what I've heard, they'd rather date someone who is at least 5'10 (a common number I hear). I've seen some height differences between couples of a foot or greater (best friend is 6'2 and dated a 5'1 girl). My guess is that having a taller guy means they'll feel more secure or something like that, which makes sense.

So what are y'alls thoughts? Ladies, what is your height and how tall do you want your man to be? Or is height not a huge deal to you? Guys, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well.

I apologize if the poll doesn't make much sense. Tried to find a balance.

I've always found this a rather perplexing issue.

One type of girl will only date people after she's interacted in a casual group setting long enough to become good friends. She will usually get uncomfortable when a guy she's just met shows romantic intentions. She believes a guy who is worth her time can wait patiently while she decides how she feels about him through the course of friendship.

Another sort feels the opposite. She gets turned off by men who like her, but guard their intentions under the casual guise of friendship. She might say that any man worth her time will show how serious, dedicated, and interested he is from the get-go. She can become frustrated by a man who is subtle or cautious in showing romantic interests instead of "manning up" and showcasing his intentions as soon as he is aware of them.

Which of these categories do GAGers prefer to live under?

Also, how is a man to handle the first impression with a woman when he doesn't know which philosophy governs her expectations?
