Just wondering what your height preference is when dating, something I've wondered on the opinion from others for awhile! State your height, male or female, and the range you would prefer.

I used to be super strict on this. I'm 5"2 but I generally didn't like dating under 5"9. My long term ex was 5"9, and the last guy I dated 6"2. Generally the range I date is between 5"11-6"4. I've gone as high as 6"6 but realized given my height....6"4 would be my max!

I think though...if I REALLY liked the guy, I would make an exception for 5"7/5"8 but that would be most killer the shortest I could see myself with under any circumstance.


Your turn!!

Yeah I agree. I've dated guys that were shorter like 5"7-5"9 that were pretty built and they didn't look so short. I have seen taller guys LOOK short. Make sense?

I'm just under 5"3. I guess if I was pretty close to the same height as them in my tallest shoes I would be ok. No more than me being an inch taller. Because I have 5" heels!

I'm not sure I liked the towering over guys when in heels though. I do have to say, while I'm partial to tall men, it makes kissing hard! I would get hard core stares when I dated a slim 6"6 Virgo, even in 5" heels I was maybe slightly over his waist.

My 5"8-5"9 ex was a lot easier to get close to.

Kissing a tall man is like a workout, you're on your toes all the time...kiss him long enough & you'll have a ballerina's ass in no time.

13 years old?? Oh my goodness!! You should both be runway models. How tall are your parents?

My mom is 5"4, my dad 6"4 and he looks just like Robert from "Everybody Loves Raymond"

My brother is 18 and about 6"1, he's a skinny little thing. His dad is 5"11



She carries the grace and eloquence to be one.

My mom is 5'9 and my dad is 6'4. Funny though, my dad was the tallest in his family with his parents and brother not passing 5'6. My sis is 5'7. I have another daughter 14 months younger then the 13 yo and I don't think she will make it to 5'10. I have a son who is 10 and that is to young to tell, but he is tall for his age. All my kids have the same dad.

my husband is taller than me, and i'm average height. Not short, not tall. But i love it that my husband is taller. I wouldnt want TOO tall, like for example a basketball player.

Yeah we all have attractions...they all seem to fit perfectly when you lock eyes with someone, you know? All the requirements were there in one look.

Ohhhh music time!

Linda Rondstandt speaks my language too!

I don't understand super short girls preferring super tall men? Mostly, it just makes me mad 😢 save the tall men for the tall women. I'm 5'8" and I like to wear heels so he needs to be at least 6'1". 6'3" is ideal but hard to find.

My brother is 6'7" and his ex was 5'nothing.




I agree and disagree. I agree that you should have the height that you want, but disagree that "short should be with short and tall should be with tall"...

I think I compensate for being small... I drive an SUV, no kids, just me, my phone is an S2, I'm waiting on the Note 3 to hit Sprint, I like big houses, men, etc.

I wear heels also. Anywhere from 3 - 6 inches, sometimes stilettos. That's why I like big guys. If my heels make me 5'9', I don't want my guy to be 5'6'. I'll tower over him.

LOL. I don't mind living small, I don't even wear high heels & I'm 5ft nothing. I think I compensate by spending big & dating even bigger.

Right— These fkn shrimps can feel just as dainty next to Tiger Prawn men, rather than hogging up unnecessary height inches.

Me, I'm also 5'8, and as long as the guy's not shorter than me, idgaf!

LOL. You'll look dainty too next to a short man if you kneel. Besides, this is ridiculous, tall men seek out short women..we're not the ones approaching them 1st. With that said, it's not our problem that most find Thumbelina more adorable/cute than the Giantess.

Haha, I'm perfectly okay with taking some of those "rejects". I think it's kind of stupid that some women throw away an entire world of good options just because they wouldn't have to lug around a step ladder.

As another member and I have talked about on this issue before, tall men are common. Tall women are not. I think NYAA threw out a figure once that only 0.07% of women reach a height of 5'10" or more.

But LOL @ stealing the tall men. Short stacks are so cute when they try to talk tough. 😛

Some might develop some issues with feelings of inferiority. Generally women don't have to confront problems with being shorter in stature the same way men do because it's considered to be normal. Shorter females can still easily find mates. Shorter men on the other hand have to contend with ridicule, and worse, rejection by potential mates based on their height. There have even been experiments performed where females were likely to choose unemployed felons over wealthy, good natured and family oriented men if the criminal was tall and the more lucrative prospect, short. The only thing that was able to sway their opinions were if they were presented with the felon as being a child molester and some women still waivered.

It's really pretty irrational if you think about it.

Ummm, fuck off midget!



LMAO

I've heard some comments about being "too big" before too. I just shrug it off like, "you mean you're not attracted to long legs and statuesque feminine figures? That's cool, brah. Sometimes I get turned on by men too." LOL

I lament how hard it can be to find clothes and shoes in my size a lot but I don't think I would give up my height for anything. I love being able to reach stuff other people can't without help. I enjoy being strong enough to do things that smaller women can't. It's awesome being built to wear stuff that isn't meant for other types of figures. And the looks on girls' faces at the club when I come strutting in all tall and proud and their boys can't help looking--priceless.
