How come so many women prefer men to be taller and most men won't settle for any women taller than them? It's fine, but wouldn't you say it's a little sexist? (well, if it's tru luv, it wouldn't really matter, but..) Just a question, though. I usually prefer men to be a little taller then me too, but it's not a huge deal... Men--wouldn't you say that many tall women are beautiful, too? Women--wouldn't you say that many shorter men are beautiful?
I do prefer my men taller than me. But Im only 5 foot 1, its not that hard to be taller than me. Most twelve year olds have me beat.
I think most guys are too into girls bodies and not enough into who they are as people, height isnt the biggest thing you should be worrying about in a relationship.
i like guys taller because it makes me feel safer; like he can protect me or soemthing. of course it doesnt REALLY matter, but i mean, ill admit i probably wouldnt date a guy shorter than me unless he had something really good to offer, like an outstanding sence of humor.
I have never dated a man shorter thane I am. I am barely 5 ft tall, and I don't know any Little People (although, I would not have rejected a Little Person Man if I was young and still dating) It is pretty hard to find men shorter than me. I heard Johnny Depp is pretty short..........*sigh* I got teased as a teen because I often dated really tall dudes. It wasn't really my choice, those were the guys who were interested in me. I had a therapist who thought that men tend to prefer petite womyn, so they can protect and "control" them, but she said a lot of weird things, so I don't really know if I agree with her. I am damn hard to "Control" in any case. Five feet of female fire........LOL!
I'm pretty tall, and maybe it's conditioning from a tall family, but I find height pretty attractive. A pretty face on a tall girl is pretty sweet. But the 1 person I've dated was a foot shorter than me, so...there's that, too.
my girlfriend is 5'9 and i'm 6'2. to me, that's absolutley perfect. i'm obviously taller, but i don't have to stoop to kiss her goodnight, and we just look great together. i think the reason most men don't like women that are taller then them is because it somehow demeans their masculinity. we're brought up with "you throw like a girl" or "you run like a girl", so, from an early age were taught that men should be "better" then girls. and i'm not saying that's right. not at all. but i think that's the mentality behind it.
I'm 6'1" with no shoes on, so I've never even really seen a girl taller then me. However though, here's some science http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2190461.stm British scientists have come up with an explanation for why most men are taller than women. They say taller men are more sexually attractive and are more likely to father children. Men, though, prefer shorter women, so the two sexes are unlikely ever to end up the same height over the course of evolution. "It seems that tall men and petite women are favoured in evolutionary terms, even in a modern population, so the height difference between men and women is unlikely to disappear," says Daniel Nettle of the Open University. The verdict that size matters is based on a study of 10,000 people born in the UK in a single week in March 1958.
I also read some statistics (somewhere), that indicate short men tend to have less sexual partners, be paid less for doing the same job, were less likely to be promoted at work, and were more likely to suffer depression (all of these when compared to men of average height or taller). I can believe it.
I usually go for a taller guy....at least 6'0". But, I met my boyfriend and he's only 5'7"....it's pretty ideal. I don't have to strain to kiss him, but I still feel like he can protect me from things (I'm 5'3"). And, we don't look freakishly different when we're together.
I don't like tall men, actually. Must be the low oxygen levels up there, but in my experience the tall men I have dated are pushy jerks.
I'm about 5'1" or 2" so it'd be really tough to find someone shorter than me. But I kind of like short guys. If I have to stand on a box just to give someone a hug, it complicates the relationship. The last guy I dated was about 2" or 3" taller than me. I loved that I could gaze into his eyes without standing on tip-toe. I've been with some really tall guys in the past, too though. But to me there's something kind of special about being on the same eye level with my man.
Yeah I'm just over 5ft (hence the name) and I've always said I would want a short guy, when I used to superficially say what I liked but when it comes down to it... All the guys I have actually loved and not just had a physical crush on- Have been around the 6ft mark. My partners 5.11, I'm just 5.1 and I dont have to stand on my toes to kiss him and he can rest his chin on my head and I love it. No matter how many times I've said I'm not going near a guy who has any Italian in him, and no matter how many times I say I want to be with a really small guy, I end up falling for tall half Italians... And I'm with this one for life! Go figure. Guess it's just what truly resonates with me!
I'm taller, by an inch than my boyfriend. It doesn't bother each of us, though he does tease me sometimes, mostly when I wear my boots or heels and then you can see the height difference. But like I've mentioned before he says he loves his amazon woman so I see no problems here. When I was still dating, I thought I couldn't date a guy shorter than myself (I'm 5'11" btw) but then I realized that makes for some slim pickins round these parts. Must be something in the water hehehe. I'm just attracted to tall, stocky type guys. One of my best friends is quite petite and she is dating one of Jer's best friends who is also a very small man. They look so cute together.
