Thread: Do you have a height preference for potential partners??

To me, it doesn't matter unless she's taller than me. It touches on my fear of being anything like Tom Cruise.

But, yea, only if she's taller than me (which is very rare). I mean, doesn't it just look wierd when the dude is smaller. I feel obligated to bring up Tom Cruise again.

I don't remember ever being in a serious relationship where the guy was taller. Current boy is half an inch shorter, and when I wear heels.....

I would like someone at least 4 inches taller than me, so that way we've got all the based covered. If I wanna skank it up and where 4 inch heels when I'm out with my man, at LEAST we'll be eye to eye. And when I'm not wearing heels he can be the tall one and I won't feel like a giant like I usually do.

Yeah, anything shorter than me will go. I guess eye-level is the sweet spot, anything lower than the shoulders is starting to get freaky .

I guess the proper explanation is that, in nature, male mammals are usually bigger than their female counterparts, so men/women try and find a partner that is proportional to their size. Just a gene thing.

So do taller women sort of threaten guys' masculinity or something along those lines? Tom Cruise..

Kichu, hahaha I totally hear ya. One of my friends has this obsession with REALLY tall guys (like 6'3 or something)... that kind of height was never my style, but man it would be really nice to wear some sexy heals yet still have your guy be taller.

Yes. Everyone makes fun of disproportionate couples.

I prefer guys who are taller than me but "within reach," if you know what I mean. The reason I ask this is because for some reason, I always find it so funny that guys go around with girls who are shorter than them.. hehe but that's because I'm a girl and don't really understand attraction from a male's perspective. Why do guys like shorter girls, and are there any guys out there who prefer taller women, or at least women of the same height?

I prefer woman taller than me to be honest. Hence I've said I wish I was smaller in a past thread.

I love it all guys give a shit about is that she isn't taller than you.

I probably draw the line at like 5'9"

I don't much care. I'd rather she not be shorter than say 5'3" or so, or taller than say, an even 6 feet. Beyond that, let freedom reign.*



Whatever that means.

*Looks forlorn* Ah, yes, my embarrassing problem. Being a particularily fine male standing at an astounding five feet, you can imagine how many women I'm compatible with...
Truly, I find that height is not a factor that I consider, but perhaps this is only because of my rare position.

I really can't say that I care, all that much. Ideally, I like a woman that's shorter than me. I like having to loom over her to kiss her, and generally like feeling that I can envelope her in a way that being just as tall as just doesn't cut.

On the other hand, I've been really attracted to women that were just as tall as I was and, when I was younger, women that were even taller than I was. So I can't really discriminate. I like 'em all. No matter the height.

tall

Nina said that like she was placing an order or something.

I like shorter girls. But not too short. Obviously.

I'd prefer a girl shorter than me. I don't really know why. That's not to say I'm turned of by girls taller than me. I don't mind if she's a few inches taller, as long as she's not towering over me. Because that's just wrong.

I prefer the proportions of shorter girls,
but I do have a weird tall-girl fetish - makes me feel powerful, for some reason.

I'm a guy with no particular preference. I'm 6'1" and my wife is 5'0". That's a pretty big difference, but not the biggest I've had. I dated a woman for ten years who was only 4'10".

It's not how tall or short you are. It's how you move!

Am I the only who prefers taller woman?

Clearly not, Jdea.

lol my parents must have not cared about height. My dad's 6' and my mom is 5'1". Weird...
Anyways, girls that are about the same height as me, maybe a bit shorter.

I'd always dated guys taller than me.. until my husband who's my height when we're both barefoot.

Hey.. when love is involved, it's no problem wearing flats.

I never really had a preference, I don't think. I only encounter the odd girl or two that is the same height as me and most of the guys around here are shorter then me too, so regardless I just feel like a giant with a bunch of gnomes running around my feet. ;_;

Reminds of the what ABC did a while back here
an experiment to test just how willing women are to date shorter men.

I like my girls around the height that I can kiss their forehead.
Works well for the arm around the shoulders while walking, and making it not so awkward.

Still love knows no bounds

Haha, that is a nice link!

JDea, how tall are you?

So no one really has a preference for someone who is significantly taller or significantly shorter. Interesting!

About avarage.

My dad was the big friendly giant, that scares me the most.
