Short Men Y/N?

princess-sprkle · 13-01-2008 7:49pm

it wouldn't really bother me all that much, as long as it wasn't a massive difference. couple of inches (weyoooo) is grand. I'm 5ft 7 btw.
like a lot of women, i would prefer taller but really depends on the guy.

Lockstep · 13-01-2008 7:59pm

I think 5'6/5'7 is an ideal height for girls compared to me.

Not too small but still has the height I like on girls so it's comftorble all around.

Although height isn't the most important thing to me.

It wasn't 'Wee Jimmy Krankie' you were going out with,was it?

Taller guys do make me feel more 'dainty' though:D

Exactly, it would make me feel like a heiffer! Tall guys or guys my height FTW! I'm 5'7 ish maybe 5'8

Quackles · 13-01-2008 8:57pm

I'm 5'8".. a couple of inches smaller than me, I could handle, but I wouldn't want some lad at chest level.. It's difficult enough to get boys to look you in the eye when they're talking to you

Hubby is about 5' 11" and that's just perfick, I don't wear heals, ever. Evil things..

I definitely prefer women who approach my height. I'm six foot five, so that's pretty rare. One woman I had a thing for is six foot three, and it certainly added a lot to her appeal.

Poor fella had a stoop most of the time when they walked round town together, trying to hear what she was saying to him from waaay below the snowy heights he occupied.

Another plus for tall women.

THB I wouldn't have much of a problem with a guys height. I'm 5'4 and my bf is about 5'6. If he was way smaller than me I wouldn't be too keen on it, but it really depends on their personality;)

I did know a couple where the girl was just barely hitting the 5 foot mark (according to her; in reality she was more like 4'10"), and her BF was 6'7".

Ahhhhhh why do tall men always go for short girls!!
I can only date taller men,im 6'1'. I once dated a guy the same height as me but Its just not for me.Its much more rosemantic when your reaching up to kiss a fella

embee · 13-01-2008 11:53pm

I'm 5 ft 11 in my bare feet. Had an ex who was 6 ft 5, another who was about 5 ft 5.

The short guy was packing a huge Napoleon complex and was hugely arrogant and aggressive - it didn't last long. Generally speaking, I'd prefer men my own height or taller.

WhiteWashMan · 14-01-2008 12:57am

my wife is exactly the same height for me, but i have never had a problem with going out with soeone who was taller than me in the past.

sure, women are like pianos, when theyre not upright, theyre grand.

and there was never any trouble climbing a fallen log

Toto Wolfcastle · 14-01-2008 1:25am

My boyfriend is an inch or two taller than me at most, and if I wear heels I'm taller than him. I've never had a problem with it, nor has he. I rarely wear heels anyway. My boyfriend is overweight and I'm nearly underweight so it doesn't matter that we're around the same height because I still get the feeling of being with a big manly man if you get me? (Probably not!) Also, I've never been one to go for looks so height really doesn't matter.

My Granny told me recently that it's ok if you're small as long as you're not fat.

Quality · 14-01-2008 1:55am

Oh God, I would definetly not like a shorter man, The whole logistics of sex standing up would not work, I am 5'10, I also like wearing heels, It would look ridiculous me with a shorter guy.

In fairness, ztoical, you can't control your height.

I prefer guys being taller than me, it's something I find attractive, but I have gone out with guys smaller than me, so it really depends on the guy.

quoted for truth...

Thats why god invented steps.

goodgodholmes · 14-01-2008 2:16am

I personally prefer taller men, although at 5'9 it's hard to find guys who are a lot taller.

Guys around my height are great too, maybe an inch or two shorter, but I would possibly be put off by a guy who was 5'6 or less.

rossie1977 · 14-01-2008 2:25am

i am just a smidge over 5'11 barefoot and in all my time travelling across the world i can easily count on two hands (and still have fingers left over) girls/women who were taller than me

in 3rd year in college there were around 300 girls in my class and only one (she was 6'4 and a monster) was taller, one girl was the same height as me and the rest were shorter

FunkZ · 14-01-2008 5:36am

I'm a tall man and I like myself. ;D

Miss Fluff · 14-01-2008 7:32am

Small chaps tend to be on the angry side if you ask me. Poor little divils.

bogzilla · 14-01-2008 7:55am

i always like going out with a girl who is shorter than me. perhaps that is definitively sexist? i'm traditional, i like holding my girlfriend in my arms and thats the way i am!

i wouldn`t look down on a couple who arent`like us but i love my girlfriend the way she is... especially when i can snuggle her in bed

pow wow · 14-01-2008 8:21am

I'm 5ft2 and usually only date guys who are a bit taller, I find it physically more attractive and I don't want to have midget babies!

That said, I went out for a while with a bloke who was 6ft4 and well built..I feared I would be squashed at any moment lol.

Interesting... worth a discussion thread of its own perhaps?
Arguements:
It's because all the girls ignore them for bigger lads.
It's because they get picked on more whereas people are more wary of picking on the bigger lads.
They have some sort of complex.
It's because they had to wait longer to be able to reach the cookie jar themselves.:p

Lockstep · 14-01-2008 9:49am

Guinness WOrld Records had a couple where the guy was twice the height of her: he was 6'2 and the woman 3'1.

The kids all looked grand.

It all balances out.

6th · 14-01-2008 10:09am

I'm 5'6" and I'm sure taller wimminz would love to date me coz I'm a ride. But bad news for such laydez .... I am well off the market. Please dont cry, snotty noses are not attractive.
