    I admit it. Verrry misleading thread but, I've noticed a few threads lately regarding height. In AH we have a thread on the go asking what is your height. In TLL we had Miss Fluff flame a guy to shreds for being average or below average height.

    So I thought I'd direct the question to the menz. Kindly, clicky poll and give me your take on things.

    I personally dont mind the height of a guy. Make me laugh and Im all yours :pac:

    In fairness, if they were any taller than you, they would have to have a red light on their head to warn incoming aircraft.

    As long as her feet are at least 6 sizes smaller than mine that will do me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Genuinely have no preferences. I went out with an absolute stunner who was a shade over 5ft and on the same token, i went out with e girl 5ft10 and thought she was gorgeous. at 6ft4, the first was a lil awkward at times but i'd never discrimiate against height, usually too grateful for attention :D

    Been with girls both taller and smaller than me and whilst it's not necessarily physical size related, stronger women attract me and sometimes I get shortness of breath and overheated when I see "amazonian" type women. There was one friend of mine in particular that hated being tall as she felt it put men off and I can see where she's coming from. She was, for the record, an absolute stunner. :)

    height doesnt bother me, im not one to discriminate!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 662 ✭✭✭LovelyTom


    I prefer them nice and small but if I get one with a girl height wouldn't matter to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Lol! who is that foul-mouthed young culchie? :p


    Men seem to be more relaxed regarding the height issue by the looks of things. I was actually quite amazed by the reactions to the thread in TLL.

    Although, my smallness seems to be something of a novelty, I've noticed. About two years ago I was out with some friends when I guy (really bloody tall one) that often says hello and throws a cheeky grin at me - picked me up, and left the pub with me over his shoulder.

    I couldnt stop laughing to the point where I nearly lost the battle holding my bladder together. To this day, I still run when I see him!


    I think the nature theory is a pile of it tbh, and its a poor way of defending a shallow attitude. Women are their own worst enemies at times. They will lament they cant find "Mr. Right" when they single out lovely guys based on an appearance issue.

    Voted Atari Jaguar simply because i couldn't stand firmly behind any of the other 3 options!

    In the past 12 months I went out with a girl who was 5'3" and another who was 5 10. I gotta say that when they go taller than this I cant help but feel a little less attracted to em for some reason. Im 6'2" btw so not as if im jumpin up to give em a kiss or anything. Scored a blonde 6 foot garda lady a few weeks back. Even though she was good looking with very athletic bod....i just wasnt feeling it for some reason!!

    It was Grames, boards.ie's resident stand up comedian who ironically is banned from the stand up comedy forum (for talking about comedy gigs).

    Back on topic, for the record I don't really care. She can be brown, she can be green, she can be LALALALALALALALALAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
    Don't know what came over me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    I've a soft spot for short girls, think they're the cutest things ever. Tall girls don't bother me either, all about the person at the end of the day...and boobs, never forget boobs.

    a taller woman wouldn't bother me, think im secure enough to not feel belittled as some guys might

    I like that quote, or as l like to put it everyone is the same height lying down.

    As for myself, i d'ont mind if a girl is taller or smaller than me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Feh, girls taller than me frighten me. Girls shorter than me freak me out.
    Of course I'm the height Tom Cruise ("five foot eight....and a half!") claims to be so I worry more about the former.

    That will become horribly redundant when you try a 69 and someone can't reach.

    I agree. Someone has to lose out, and it wouldnt be me.

    I have trouble getting face-sucking action at the same time as sexing. Possibly too much information..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    I've never been with a girl taller than me, but then girls over 6ft are not so common. Now that I am old and mature, like a good whiskey, height doesn't bother me. It would have a small bit when I was younger as it made dropping the hand a little awkward when you were in the corner of the disco if the girl was too short ;)

    There are positions which can be used to help with that,

    Would agree with an earlier post about being tall and having a (ahem) "soft" (hmm) spot for smaller ladies....

    But at 6ft 5 and 18stone what I consider small and what others do is very different....! :rolleyes: Used to worry about smaller girls ending up with a sore neck/back from having to look up so much :p but now i'm getting old my back... my poor back from all the bending!!

    But been with all kinds... 5ft to 6ft 1 and as long as they are fun, good laugh and have the obligitary bits in the right places then i'm happy :D

    He is rightfully (imo) freaking the bin over this thread..

    Which in turn sent me over here to see what you lovely menz thought.. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    I've gone out with all heights. But my current lady is 5' 10 and I'm certainly not complaining. I'm only a shade over 6ft myself so it's not a big difference.

    Im sure they most of them genuinely look at guys that way, some of it was just plain naaasty tbh.

    The thing is abigayle I know they dont really think that and if they do then i have a problem here see more than half the women on that thread were saying things liek they would never go out with shorter guys below such and such heights and getting lots of agreements right fine so far


    but in life half the men in the world are not all above that height so either a few tall guys are dating loads of these women or these women are in fact dating shorter guys and from being about town I know which answer is true.

    Now this causes further problems for me either
    1
    these women are going out with men they dont really like just based on their height :eek::eek::eek::eek: but still pretending they do

    or 2
    These women are lying on the internet putting people down( not so hard when they are short har har) for no other reason than to be mean and that does not seem like a lady like quality to me.

    Now Im not sure which one is true based on the vitriol of some of those attacks I said Im swaying towards number one here

    Probably a little from column A and a little from column B. Well what comes around goes around tbh. But as we said - if the guys were equally as nasty regarding.. womens weight.. We could imagine how that would go :)

    I've put in my tuppance worth over there, I was genuinely shocked to read some of the shallow cráp posted by some.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭Rob_l

    I love tall women. Nothing against small, they can be awesome too, but tall really does it for me. Used to go out with a girl who was taller than me for a while, which was amazing. :D

    Really that dictates how able or quickly they can take down an opponent and protect you or how insanely threatening they can be to other women who look like they are poaching in their terrority ?
