Ladies - Would You Consider Dating a 5'8 Man??

    Right I made a statement in another thread saying that 5'8 man are too short to date so would like to poll it. I'm a 5'8 male, and I've heard rumours that the vast majority of women do not like to do someone of this height or smaller. Although only around 25%-33% of men are 6ft and above so most men are smaller than this. I've never really taken notice of this nor cared until recently reading on the internet that the majority of women would refuse to date someone around my height under almost any circumstances and I'm just curious how true this is??

    Now I understand that taller men are deemed more desirable, and women above 5'8 may struggle to date a 5'8 guy, that's also understandable.

    Would you date a 5'8 male?? Or is that a no no under any circumstances??

    You are aware there is a 4 inch difference between 5'8 and 6 foot right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen

    Now when you say do, what exactly do you mean? Are you asking if men who are 5'8 or under not shagable?

    I would, but am not sure himself would approve:p
    Seriously though if i was single I'd have no problem dating a man this height, I'm barely 5ft so 5' 8" is tall to me:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 669 ✭✭✭Fizzlesque


    I would have absolutely no problem dating a man who was 5ft 8".

    I'm 5ft 2", so a man who is 5ft 8" is probably a perfect height for me, though I've been with taller and I've been with smaller. I'd prefer a man to be taller than me, but that's going to be the case with most men.

    I'm five nine so i'm cool?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    I'm 5'9 in heels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 777 ✭✭✭H2UMrsRobinson


    Date one ? I married one. I'm 5"6 he's 5"8. I can't wear heels higher than 2" inches anyway - sciatica - so were all good.

    Most women are under 5"8 anyway so I don't see it as much of an issue and some short guys have tall personalities.

    What about you OP, would it bother you if a woman were taller than you?


    As it happens, I've heard from some female friends that short men are better endowed. Or maybe it just looks that way in proportion to their funny little legs:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    Doesn't matter when they're lying down t'what t'what wink wink nudge nudge eh eh? ;);)


    OP yes. I would and I am. In fact I've never dated a tall fella in my life. Prefer them just a bit taller or the same height as myself. I'm 5'5.

    It wouldnt be a deal breaker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭boomkatalog


    I'm 5'7/5'8 and dated a 5'7 guy.

    We're all the same height lying down ;)

    Once he doesn't expect me to stop wearing heels, then I don't care.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,294 ✭✭✭rainbowdrop


    I'm glad my Mum did;). My Dad's only 5ft 8in.......

    My Mum is only 5ft 1in herself, so it's 'small' wonder that I'm a midget of 5ft 2in (female obv, be pretty shitty to be a 5ft 2in male lol)

    That's a good point. The average height for a woman is around 5'4 depending on where you live. This site is useful:

    Oh for gods sake, I would defo date a guy who was that height. I am 5 7. I have noticed though that I am often meeting men in Ireland who are exactly same standing height as me yet miraculously claim to be 5 10. Or same height as me in heels (around 1.5 inches) claiming to be 6ft. I must be permanently standing in a hole.

    Tbh though I would date a man of probably any height if he was confident, smart, cool and sexy.

    If however, he was snivelling on about what women want / women have it so much better then he could look like George clooney and I wouldn't go near him.

    I need to stop reading these threads :(
    I'm 5 7' and have had no problems dating/pulling/scoring good looking girls in the past... maybe I just got lucky!

    according to this thread and others similar, I should be a weird looking, short arsed troll with an annoying personality and a chip on my shoulder to make up for my lack of gigantism and my funny little legs!!! :pac: :pac:

    A lot of guys like to add a couple of extra inches, and not just to their height. :D
