bakerrac Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Here's a question for the guys, though girls are welcome to give their input as well! This is a topic my friends and I debate quite often. How much does height matter? Do super tall guys, like 6ft+, generally look the other way when they see a short girl, say 5'3 or under? Even if they find her attractive? I'm 5'1 and tend to find myself most attracted to tall guys (I know the taller girls hate it when the shorties take the tall guys...sorry!), but does my height hinder my chances? I know the answer to this question varies, but I'm just trying to get a consensus of opinions here. Link to comment
EQD Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i was once asked out by a guy who was 6'4'' i am 5'1'' he said the difference didnt bother him. but to be honest it bothered me. we never went on a date. lol Link to comment
shikashika Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm 5'1 and have dated several guys over 6 feet I find it doesn't make a difference at all. I have also dated short guys Link to comment
EQD Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I find it doesn't make a difference at all. it does in the bed. Link to comment
ellandroader Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Height doesn't matter to me. Most girls I have dated have been no taller than 5"6...last girlfriend is 5"2.....the person matters more to me. I am 6"2. Link to comment
shikashika Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 it does in the bed. haha.. I was going to say, "It doesn't matter when you're lying down!" Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i go for whatever i find attractive. usually dark hair, dark eyes, and athletic. height really doesn't matter as long as they are proportional. boobs don't really bother me unless the chest was too big or too small in proportion of course.

ghost69 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm 5'1 and have dated several guys over 6 feet I find it doesn't make a difference at all. I have also dated short guys i had an ex that was 5'0. i was 6'2 at the time. talk about good times. hehe know what i'm sayin? Link to comment
Robert013 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am 6'1" and it doesn't really matter to me as long as I am atracted to them. I met taller women than I that I am atracted to and women who are 5' even that I am atracted to also. Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am 6'6 and I do not categorically exclude short girls but I prefer taller girls. It would seem to me that more guys have a problem dating a girl who is taller than them than a girl who is shorter. I dont think that you would have much of a problem dating tall guys, perhaps a problem here and there but nothing major. Link to comment
coldplay. Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ya for me there was kind of an adjustment to short girls in bed and in public, im 6'1 dated a few around the 5'0-2 mark. It was always funny getting a 'stomach' hug. Kissing was usually a chore, in bed same kinda thing different implications. Link to comment
Stick Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am 6'6. Having dated a 5'2 girl, I can say that there are some difficulties involved. Kissing was an issue. Certain positions in bed were an issue. And when we danced I felt out of place... like a dad taking his daughter out to prom. On the other hand, attractive is attractive... regardless of height for me. And there is something to be said about having a girlfriend I can fit in my breast pocket. > Link to comment
bakerrac Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 All very interesting, and mostly encouraging! So now, my question is...does it really make a difference in bed? Does it really make it harder? I always seem to end up with shorter guys, but I've always thought it would be fun to be with a tall guy. There is something so sexy about a tall, athletic guy that could probably bench press me or effortlessly toss me around in bed...haha. Link to comment
coldplay. Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 well, in my case it wasnt so much an 'issue' just like for example it becomes impossible to kiss or do anything in missionary (her head is around chest level) but beyond that i cant remember anything that was bad. Link to comment
madmarten Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I love these threads. "Like I am really attractive, and the ideal height of 5'3" Can I ever get a guy?????? But only a really tall one?? humm-- but that being said I have tall friend like 6'4" and he used to date short girls, but now he is married to tall girl 5'11", and he says there are advantages like not having bend for so much for kissing and making out. I don't know why people must date somebody a foot taller, just seems uncomfortable?? Link to comment
shikashika Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i had an ex that was 5'0. i was 6'2 at the time. talk about good times. hehe know what i'm sayin? yes, I loved being picked up and thrown around! A tall guy can hoist me up... sigh.. Actually, being 5'1, most guys are taller than me anyway, so all is good! yeehaw. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 69 in the air was amazing. haven't done that in a long time. *looks at phone* let's see, who is close to 5'0. Link to comment
philove Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 As long as the girl is not taller than me im fine! Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think short men are far more likely to reject tall women than tall men reject short women, due to the cultural mores that say men 'should' be taller than women. I see a ton of tall men with short girls, and not that many couples where the woman is significantly taller than the man. Link to comment
FortunateOne Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm 6' and I used to date any height until I realized it was a back breaking shore to do many things... The event that changed my opinion was when I was slow dancing with an ex and I felt like a meerkat as I moved around the dance floor with her head on my chest. It was to weird and it didn't feel romantic. That's when I decided to only date women about 5'6''-ish and above. Link to comment
COtuner Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I dated a guy who was 6'2, and a guy likes me right now who is 6'3. I don't like dating guys that tall, however. I prefer guys between 5'6 and 5'11. Link to comment
Nixee Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think short men are far more likely to reject tall women than tall men reject short women, due to the cultural mores that say men 'should' be taller than women. I see a ton of tall men with short girls, and not that many couples where the woman is significantly taller than the man. Totally agree with this.... think the OP has nothing to worry about. As a taller woman, I sometimes watch the height of men though, I admit... I prefer to date someone taller than me...and preferably taller than me including my heels (which means 6' +) ... I get envious of shorter women, so threads like this kinda make me laugh. Really don't think there is much to worry about. Oh and as far as bed and playtime... don't worry about getting a super tall man, just get one strong enough if you are a tiny thing. I'm decently tall after all, but I've been tossed and carried around my fair share....it doesn't require a one foot height difference. Link to comment
bakerrac Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I love these threads. "Like I am really attractive, and the ideal height of 5'3" Can I ever get a guy?????? But only a really tall one?? madmarten...that's not what I was saying, so don't be rude. [-X The reason I brought this up is simply because I often feel intimidated by the idea of approaching a man over 6ft tall because I'm afraid there is just too big of a height difference and he won't be into it. I realize that at 5'1 finding a guy taller than me is not a problem, and I never said I'm only looking for really tall guys. On the contrary, I have only dated guys on the shorter side, which is fine. I just wanted some opinions on how guys 6ft+ feel about short girls and how it effects physical interactions. Sheesh! Everyone else, thank you for your input! Link to comment
bakerrac Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 69 in the air was amazing. ...now that's something I've gotta try someday! haha Link to comment
Casperlady Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 No I am 5'2" and any guy I have been with was 6'+ Link to comment
