Does size matter?

No im not talking about THAT! lol was just wondering girls, would you date a guy who was shorter then you? And guys, would you date a girl who was taller then you?

To me height doesnt matter, aslong as i like the person, just wondering if anybody else felt this way as I was recently called a bullshitter for saying this 🙂

my first bf was the same height as me and my current is about a half inch shorter, so... yes! i don't care about height either. as long as he doesn't complain and whine about my being in high heels (my first bf would bitch about any shoes that made me taller than him) then we're good!

I've never given much thought to height, but, with only one exception (my first real relationship), anyone I date tends to be 5'10" - 6'

I don't think I could date a guy shorter than me... although I am crushing on this guy who is about my height. Don't think I could ever date him, he's just kinda cute given his short stature (~5'3")

It does matter for some people but they tend to be the ones who aren't the "norm" themselves... short guys or tall women. At 6'3" I have never dated someone shorter then me, but it's just cause there aren't many women out there that tall.

The "issue" comes up with women over around 5'10" or with guys shorter than 5'5" or so... of course it would depend on your area too. Since I moved to Texas I notice a LOT more short people.

Well, I'm 5'4"... so I'm okay with anyone as long as he isn't shorter than me, lol. I mean, I really try to be open-minded about height, but since I'm already shorter than most, I just feel like I wouldn't enjoy being with someone shorter with me... with that said, most of the guys I date are around or are 6 feet give or take a couple of inches... lol.

thanks for everyones comments. I am 5.2 and would quite happily date a guy shorter, I understand everyone is different. My main reason for asking the question really was because VitasXisto stated that there is no way I could be telling the truth when I said I would date a guy shorter then me.

Obviously he wont believe anyone else who says they also would, but just thought I would check if I was the only person who ddnt see this as an issue.

To all the tall guys yeah the tallest woman I have ever come across is 6ft so if your over that height then I suppose theres not going to be many women taller then you, and if your a 5ft girl then there isnt going to be many guys shorter then you. But If I found a guy who was 5ft and I liked him I would quite happily go out with him, and i would also still wear my heels lol.

What a shallow topic.

If a dude was shorter than me, he'd be a midget. So...idk how to answer that nicely.

but fuck no.



🙂

LOL Oh Bri, joo ees such a funny woman.

Hahahaha SC said it's the girth that matters....

(basically) I'm just sayin

I dont do short girls but I'd do Briana 😄 😄

Lol you have no idea what you're missing.

Ive heard fat men have small wieners..dunno how much truth there is in that claim.

& hahahaha my obese co-worker told me it's not true. He said they just look small because the fat around it like envelopes it.....

*gag*

😢 a mental image I cannot ever unsee. I hate him for it.

Short chicks are where it's at. I can't believe everyone hasn't realized it yet.


Tall girls = totally overrated. 😛

Heights matters b/c I DO have a "preference." Problem is, the 1st thing we all notice is someone's physicality, so it's not to say that people who walk away from those who are not their "type" are shallow. It's not that they're shallow, but moreso that if looks is the ONLY thing they have to go on when 1st meeting someone, they're likely to seek according to who fits their physical "type."

I prefer taller guys. If I were to meet a man who was my height or shorter, BUT yet had an amazing personality/chemistry, I wouldn't necessarily walk away strictly b/c of his height. BUT, in order for me to over-look my OWN preferences, that person would have to be AMAZING in other areas.

My ex of 20 years was just taller than me but short to men as he was I guess petite..if that's what you would call it AND now I have this thing for tall guys!!!! Dont meet many but I certainly get turned on by someone towering over me!

Same here.midget's are cute...but not really in to dating one. 🙂
although when they give you lip,it'd be easier to kick their ass.

My Son is 5'4(if that) and he's been a chick magnet all his life.of course he's a goodlooking Libra, with a great sense of humor and beautiful eyes.his fiance' is not tall,but maybe an inch or 2 taller.he's dated girls of all sizes though.

And why the fuck would any women date any man shorter then them? It doesn't look to par, it doesn't look right mate, needless to say, 95% of women requires the man to be taller then themselves not necessarily tall in general. Most men who are six feet tall won't go for a women who's 5'4 or 5'3, the dating pool for tall men are much more broader as oppose to an average height man. It's all about procreation and mating, everything relates to survival, sex is about symmetry, how people treat you has a lot to do with how you look and so forth. I don't give a fuck if any of you calls me superficial or shallow, I'm simply stating the facts mate, truth will set everyone free...

I'm 5'1 and tall guys love me.wtf are you basing this on? your personal preference,that's what.

*sticking out tongue*

Congratulations to your son on his engagement Bells. 🙂

Thanks VB.🙂

Oh, cool! Congratulations!!

Thanks Jas 🙂

I like her,She's a Cancer with Libra moon conjunct his sun.gawd I'm obsessed with this stuff,huh? 🙂

😄

It's important you like her I think. Beats hitching up with some hag you'd like to throttle in your darkest midnight fantasies. LOL Well that and your son waking up one morning wondering "WTF WAS I THINKING?!"

Exactly.🙂
I don't know her really well,since they moved so far away.but she must be special,because this is the first real relationship the boy's ever had.before this it was a new girl every other day.but it's been a year now...so I'm impressed.😉
of course he's only 19,so I guess "real" relationships don't happen alot before now anyway.
He's going to be a Chef btw. 🙂

All of my boyfriends have been 6' +
A lot of tall men actually prefer petite women. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS

we're adorable. duh. 🙂

thanks for everyones comments. I am 5.2 and would quite happily date a guy shorter

what?! you would date a guy shorter than 5.2? LOL! ugh, never

yeah why not? I do not come across many guys shorter then me but I have dated a guy who was the same height as me. Height is just something that doesnt bother me. I'm a personality person, obviously I have preferences but I would never dismiss anyone just because of their height.

My exfiance was 6.1 and I am 5.2 and the height difference isnt why he is my ex! My mum is 5.1 and my dad is 6.3 and they've been happily married for 25 years. Vitas has some strange "fact book" that he follows and anyone who doesnt follow suit is a bullshitter lol. Strange how he has dropped his figures from ALL (the other thread) to 95% though hmmm....

He's entitiled to his opinion but will not except that other peoples opinions are different.

HAHAHHAHAHAHA how cute, little ms. librasun decided to make a thread all because of me, wow mate I feel so special. I've already stated people are generally attracted to power, height, physical fitness, intelligence, financial stability, confidence, charisma and social dominance all equates to power and are all attractive qualities, you saying that you will happily date a man who's shorter then you is no different then a female saying she will date a man who's insecure. Sub consciously females must FEEL protected or loved or whatever the fuck you bitches adore. I have a friend who's 5'7 and he had a crush on a women who was 5'4, she never gave him a chance because she wanted her man to be six feet tall. Now height means nothing when it comes to physical protection, just because a man is taller then another man doesn't really mean anything, but sub consciously females find height aesthetically pleasing. I'm right your wrong, now deal with it...

would you date a midgit?

I'm not saying that I would see a midget in the street and instantly run up to him and throw my number at him, but if I got to know the guy and i liked him then yes I would. Admittedly the guy would have to work harder to get my attention as he is not my usual preference but i would date ANYONE who I was attracted to, and to me someone does not have to be attractive for me to be attracted to them.

I am all about personality. A pretty guy with no personality is only good for one thing (and he prob wont even be that good at that!) I would take a guy who is there for me, understands me and makes me happy any day, rather then someone who looks good walking down the street next to me.

I would also date a guy in a wheelchair, A guy with one leg/arm, A guy who was ridiculously tall (7ft), a ginger guy (some people really dont! lol) just incase they were the next questions lol

Bullshit, because your sub conscious mind wouldn't even be attracted to such kind, and you know it's truth, I simply WANT YOU TO ADMIT, I'm right and your wrong. Your right about not controlling attraction but scientific studies have proven that attraction has alot to do with physical attraction and we all know that...

You can say whatever you like. I know what I would and would not do. If you dont like what i say then fuck off because nothing else is going to come out of my mouth. You said ALL in the last thread, now you have dropped your percentage. There are people in this thread who have said they will date shorter so why concentrate on me?

You think you are the only one with knowledge about people? I have studied both sociology and psychology, Psychology to degree level. and you know the first thing I learnt: THERE ARE NO FACTS IN PSYCHOLOGY. It was written all over my first assignment. You can pick the THEORY you like best and thats fine. But DO NOT think you can tell me how my mind works or what I would and would not do.

I dont know him, i am a personality person. You could quite of easily of put up a picture of a tall dark and handsome guy and you would have gained the same response.

Let's be honest here though, if the midgit and the tall dark handsome guy were equally good guys and both of them asked you on a date, you'd pick the tall dark handsome guy over the midgit and don't lie this time. Me and a couple of billion people knows it's true, I simply admit it, you don;t want to admit it because you don't want to come off as vain and superficial, no need to impress me librasun, simply admit it mate.

You need to accept that not everyone is like you. Everyone is different. Everyone has there preferences, some stray from them some dont. You do not have to understand it, just accept it. I do not need to impress you or anyone else. I have no need to lie as I do not need to prove myself to anybody and especially no one here on this site.

No one is equally as good as someone else. There will always be something about one person that is better. I would go for the guy I liked the most and physical attractiveness is not what would sway it for me. I would not settle for a guy who I liked less just because we would look better together to other people. I do not care about what other people think about me. The sooner you realise that the better. You will NEVER get me to say something that is not true just to shut you up. You can discuss this with me till the cows come home and each time my response will be the same.

?Mad? why would I be mad? Your ignorance is your issue.

I only get involved with intellegent conversation, as there is none here im out!

I'm 4'11" and haven't met a guy shorter than me *shrug* I've found that plenty of guys like short girls. I've NEVER heard, "Well, you're just so awesome and great, and I'd LOVE to date you.. but um.. you're too short for my taste, Smurf." LOL

But I've dated plenty in the "shorter-than-average" range (5'3" to 5'8") and I've dated guys 6'4" or 5". Height is really such a non-issue for me.. but I imagine if I were a very tall woman (like 5' 10" or something) I'd probably want a guy taller than me. Would it be a deal-breaker if he were shorter than me? I don't THINK it would, but as I cannot really experience it for myself, I can only imagine how I would feel.

Oh, and my oldest daughter is 4'10" and itty bitty... and her fiance is 6'4" and.. erm.. big. They look almost comical together 😉

HEY! 5'7'' and higher IS the AVERAGE! Just because we have freak gigantors in the States it doesn't mean my range is the fail.
