I'm 6 foot tall (and female) and I can't say that height is a huge issue for me. I do notice men who are taller more though, just because it's more unusual.

TBH, I think society expects the female to be shorter, I don't know why but I personally don't think it makes a difference. I have talked to a few guys that have said under no circumstances would they go out with a girl that's taller than them

If your belief is that your height is an issue, then you will give off signals that you don't feel comfortable with yourself.

As a result, women won't feel comfortable around you because you will come across as being insecure and lacking in confidence.

It's the self-consciousness, rather than your height itself, which will hurt your success with women.

It goes both ways, though. Some women are insecure, and because of that they won't date guys who are smaller or skinnier than they are.

I'm a smaller-than-average guy and would normally go out with girls smaller than myself, but I do occasionally find myself with women who are taller. I find that if both of us aren't insecure about the issues, then there are no issues.

Famously incorrect. He was slightly taller than the average French male. He just chose the wrong people to hang around when he was being painted.

Does. Not. Compute.

Im 5'5 and I dont think it has had any material impact on my success (or lack of) with the opisite sex. When I was younger I was extremly shy which had far more of an impact than height ever did.

Ive gone out with taller girls in the past and height hasnt been an issue.

Gimmie five 8'' men and then we'll talk

I'm a 5"4 (and 3/4s!) tall female, and until recently I leaned towards guys about 5"10/11. But have recently been seeing a guy who's roughly 5"8 and it's actually much better.

[Carverkid]

Tall guys can often be self conscious and shy as well. My friends 6ft 7" and a great guy has it all physically but he slouches because he's so shy from his height.

[M_Bovary]

Personally I prefer a taller man, but it's just one attribute that I admire, so if there's other things going for him but he's under 6' I would gladly indulge.

I've dated men even shorter than 5ft 8'. Shortest guy I dated was around 5ft 3', tallest was 6ft 10'. At the moment, I'm dating someone who is around 6ft 4', so I don't really see the problem with dating shorter or taller people.

I'm only 5ft 1', and it makes dating taller people awkward to tell the truth. The bf was actually laughing at me today because I only come up to his breastbone in height.

I prefer dating people that are around 5ft 8' tbh.

Starting to realise why im single after all these threads

Would you consider dating a 5'8 Man? 5'7

Men who still live at home... is it a deal-breaker? Check

On the Dole-A Deal Breaker? Im an unemployed Student

Would date a smoker?


I would imagine them all combined into one is a deal breaker

I lead a fine life though

Nah, not for all of us. I would however, have a problem with your homicidal tendencies, and would refuse to be a passenger in your car within a 100 mile radius of any body of water.

How can you possibly not realise why society expects women to be shorter. Women are shorter than men and most men are taller than their OH.

Society expects each individual not to be millionaires because most people aren't millionaires.

I phrased that wrong. What I meant was that a lot of people think it's wrong for a woman to be taller than their OH. A lot of ladies on this thread have said they wouldn't date a man sorter than them or that they would prefer not to.

It may not be the norm but I don't really see why height should be an issue.
