Height only matters if they're shorter than me. I'm pretty darn short, so to be shorter than me, a man would be a midget.

-A
 
yes.....there is currently a man whose height i have tried to overlook but i am reminded of it everytime we go out and other men try and talk to me while he is standing next to me and i am assuming b/c of his size he never says anything.....so i need to be with someone that other men will respect atleast to his face
 
I am short and small - 5'2. I have always loved tall men; 6'2 and up hits the spot, but my cutoff is 5'10.

The short men I've met seem always to be compensating--either they're bodybuilding to grow those stubby limbs OUT cause they're never gonna grow UP anymore than they already have, or they're raging egomaniacs with nasty Napoleon complexes. Height just gives a man one less thing to feel emasculated about, and the fewer issues a man possesses, the better.
 
call me strange but sometimes i think its sexy to stand over a man or see women that are taller than the man they're with:look:
not like a whole person taller but a few inches:grin:

Iono... my best guy friend, who's about 5'9 or 5'10, started dating a woman who was about 6'4. Talk about ODD-looking (at least to me). I walked up on them in an embrace; she had her arms around his neck gazing down lovingly into his eyes, he had his arms around her waist since that was all he could comfortably reach, straining affectionately up at her.

It was like being at the circus. She was an awesome chick, tho--and he LOVED it!
 
I'm 5'11" and have never dated a man less than 6'4" (tallest was 6'11" :lick:) until NOW!

Said guy is maybe 5'9" but he has every other quality that I want in a MAN, so I'm not going to pass him up! :drunk: I helped that he was a friend first, because if shorty had just tried to approach me, he would have been shot down.

I guess I will be buying some flats for spring and summer! :spinning:
 
I remember when i was a teenager i told my grandmother that i dont like guys shorter than me and she said thats cutting out a lot of boys! she was short though, 5' 2, 5'3. but i thought about it and said yeah. that made me think a little. like just based on someone's exterior you're already writing them off. you dont know 1 thing about them and you're saying (or i'm saying) hes not my type. one guy said to me when i said that, how do you know? you havent even talked to him yet. it really made me think, yeah, how do i know?? that always stuck with me thru out the years

Your grandmother is very wise :yep:.
 
If you know what you like, you know what you like.

I like Black men. I like tall guys. I like tall Black men.

I dated a guy who was not taller than me. Every time, I went shoe shopping I thought about him and the fact that the heels should be but so tall. I hated to go to clubs with him because he was shorter than me and I hate to dance with short guys. I also hate to go to clubs in flats, mules, etc. I hated to stand next to him in pictures. Over time, all these negative feelings built up and manifested in different ways in the relationship. His height was not the cause of our breakup but it certainly did not help.

This reminds me of my friend's sister. When they got married, they had to bring out a small stool for him to stand on so he could kiss the bride. :grin: Her sisters still crack on her to this day...........

.......and now they are having marital problems and I wonder if she is saying to herself.....I settled for this short fool and he got the nerve to be acting up...........
:look:
 
You darn right it does:lachen:. I'm 5'2 or 5'3' and I prefer my men 6'2 and above. The shortest being 6'0 (but even that's considered short for me:look:).
 
im 5'1 and im NOT attracted to tall men at all. My SO is the ideal height for me which is 5'6. I've dated taller men and i didnt like it very much. MY ex was 6'4 and i HATED the height difference. If i was still single i wouldn't date anybody over 5'10....and even that's pushing it. I wouldn't even look twice at someone taller than that!
 
Do some of ya believe that a tall me (5'10 above) can look duffy sometime if they don't have the feartures to go with t?
 
I'm 5'4 and REFUSE to date anyone less than 5'10 and even then i'm like uuggghhh u better be worth it!!!! LOL nah but for real i wish i was taller and if i ever actually have kids(like that will ever happen lol) i dont want them getting stuck with the short gene

Its just weird when i'm neck and neck with a dude like ew lol i dont care if thats immature..i have my preferences and damnit i'm keepin it!:lachen:
 
I'm happy as long as he's the same height as me or a little bit taller than me without heels. I don't care if he's the same height or if I'm taller with heels. I'm 5'5" so I think that leaves me with tons of guys to choose from :grin:

I can understand women finding men of certain heights more attractive than others. However, I think to categorically exclude men just because they fall below a certain height ultimately works to your own disadvantage - you effectively shrink your dating pool. A man's height is not going to determine how he treats you and whether or not he will be a good husband and/or father.

BTW - only about 15% of the entire male population in this country is over 6'0". Most men are somewhere between 5'8 and 5'11.

Always swooned over a man 6' and taller..nowadays I've 'grown' past that superficial level. I've even lately considered dating a man who is not a professional man as long as he is good to me, shares a similar outlook on life, enjoys similar activities, is fairly good looking, likes my people and me his{sic}, has a good, genuine heart,knows the meaning of love and fidelity...height is not a big factor....I'd like him to be taller than me but that's all cosmetic.

I'm 5'3" and they have to be taller than me, I've never been attracted to a guy that's my height. :ohwell: The guy I'm dating now is 6'2" :lachen:

I understand girl. Im 5'3 too and the last guy I dealt with was 6'4 :lachen: I'd like to say it doesnt matter but this guy thats 5'4 keeps trying to take me out and I cant see it. I wear anything other flats Im standing a couple inches over him and I like to feel protected. Plus I just like tall guys. I wonder if guys prefer short women.
