Brad Pitt doesn't do it for me.

I'm tall.

Previous boyfriend was shorter than me. It didn't bother me. My height bothered him though. He would whine if i wore high heels! He thought everyone was staring at us (they weren't). Relationship didn't last....

10 years on - I'm marred to a lovely man, 6'5" - he admitted he asked me out because I'm tall too

It's not about height, it's attitude. I can't help being tall. Issues like weight can be dealt with, people can lose and gain weight.

If you prejudge someone on their height , before meeting them, that has nothing to do with physical attraction... And it's not the size of the jockey, its the length of his whip

Rejecting someone because you don't find them attractive makes complete sense, weight or otherwise

Fat Christy · 15-07-2015 07:51PM

I don't do fat guys. Ironic really since I'm not exactly skinny.

I was called "the pocket girlfriend" by my husband's friends on numerous occasions.

I'm small, I can't help that.:D

Diamond Doll · 15-07-2015 07:54PM

I don't see anything wrong with it in theory, but I've just never been attracted to a man smaller than me. I'm around 5'5". Once or twice I've been with guys around the same height, but I even found that strange, and wasn't comfortable wearing heels beside them.

A friend of mine (around 5'11" and blonde) recently married a Chinese man who must be a foot shorter than her, the wedding photos are lovely but they do look somewhat mismatched! But very very happy, and isn't that what matters.

Why do you say that? If someone has bad teeth, I don't care how good looking they are otherwise, I don't care if they're a male me personality wise, it's a no. Some people find shorter people unattractive. Some people find taller people unattractive. Some people find bad teeth unattractive. Why is it nothing to do with physical attraction?

I'm 5ft 10, and although I prefer taller, I wouldn't have ruled out smaller.

What do you mean "still"? Of course it isn't. Why would you think it is?

I've never been attracted to a very overweight guy.

Richard Hillman · 15-07-2015 07:57PM

I wouldn't go out with a lady taller than me. Being a shortarse of 5'6, this very much limits my options.

Nope they're always a lot skinnier than me. I have never been in a relationship with someone heavier than me. I think it's lifestyle as well. I'm quite active and I like cooking. A fat guy wouldn't suit me.

Someone said on another thread "looks will get you the interview but personality will get you the job"

In the long run, even if we all subscribe to the nip/tuck way of life, we're not going to look the same 20/40 years down the line...

Aineoil · 15-07-2015 08:20PM

Attraction to another person is not an exact science.

Tombi! · 15-07-2015 08:20PM

I suppose a lot of people misunderstand "I'm not attracted to you because you're fat" with "you're a fat bitch and will be always single". If you don't date an overweight woman, you're "sexist" to some people.
Personally, so long as your civil about what you like/dislike, then I don't see much problem if the person is fat, short, whatever.

I'm 4 foot eleven and a half inches (and yes the half inch counts) in height in my stocking feet. I know it's after hours but this fact is true about me.

So no I wouldn't date someone smaller than me.

Word for word what I was about to post. Except I'm a teeny bit smaller than you.

The only man I can think of who'd be smaller than me is Peter Dinklage!

No I wouldn't date a man smaller than me, but then again I've yet to meet a man smaller than me.

As long as you're polite and kind about it, of course it's not a problem.

Glad you're in a happy relationship now. I think what you said is exactly right. Personally though I think girls who are afraid of looking too tall with a shorter man also have the same esteem issues.

I think everyone is perfectly entitled to not be attracted to someone and that they shouldn't have to apologise for it.

I've been told by people that they don't find me attractive. I take it on the chin and move on. I've also found other people unattractive. If I'm not physically attracted to someone then I can't really do anything about that.

As long as you tell them gently and not be rude about it, I don't see a problem.

I like this. My husband and I were going through old photos today, because our son

turns 18 in a few days.

He showed me photos of me at 29, years ago, when I thought I looked old and fat.

I was neither, I suppose everything is relative.

Well, putting them down is a bit extreme. :eek:

I'd let them down nicely though, there's no way I'd say 'Fek off, chubby/shorty'.

kfallon · 15-07-2015 08:33PM

If everyone was attracted to the same type of people it'd be a very boring world!

And I'd have never have gotten me end away :pac:

Junkyard Tom · 15-07-2015 08:33PM

As a small man, who used to be a tall girl, I would never date a man, who was a woman, who was taller than me when I was a tall girl.

Girls, would you date a man smaller than you?
