<p>I have to say that girls are more shallow than guys will ever be. This thread proves it. Girls who are 5'2" want guys who are 5'9"+. The general rule is the guy should be 2 to 4 inches taller. But some girls these days refuse anything a foot taller than them.</p>
<p>2 to 4 inches? The average guy is 5 inches taller than the average girl.</p>
<p>I'm 5'1 and every guy I've ever dated has been in the 5'8-6'1 range. If I felt like a guy was my soulmate or something and he was "too short" I wouldn't care much, but as a more general statement, I would prefer 5'4 or up.</p>
<p>im 5'2 and my xbf of 3 years was 5'5 (5'4 when we started going out) now im 19 and 5'5 is still prob the shortest id date. we were justttt the same height when i wore heals.</p>
<p>hehehe this is entertaining. I am a girl and 17 5'5ish and the shortest guy Ive dated was 5'4ish</p>

<p>and what of all the ugly guys who still expect jenna jamesons, cocoas and kim kardashians?</p>
<p>^^^That simply is not true.</p>
<p>I'm a 19 year old girl who is 5'9". The guys I've dated have all been around the same height-- 5'10"-6'1". The shortest I would date is probably about 5'8". The guy that I kinda like right now is about my height.</p>

<p>Quite the blanket statement.</p>
<p>Even if the guy I'm currently dating (6'3, as a reminder) was 5'3 or 7'3, I'd still date him. He's 6'3 and a little pudgy (former D-1 football lineman, nowhere near how big he was when he played) and honestly he was bigger when I first met and started hanging out with him. </p>
<p>I do have some shallow friends who cross guys off their "mental list" as soon as they see them, and they all wondered why I'm dating this guy who is bigger than the stereotypical alpha male. Now that they've gotten to know him, most realized guys can be great boyfriends/partners even if they don't fit the "Dream Guy" mold.</p>
<p>Wow collegehopeful78, only one girl said she would only date guys who were 5'9" and above when she was significantly shorter than that. The rest mostly wanted someone who was taller than they are, which I think is a fair request. On top of that, most of the girls said that if they really liked someone, it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Just like we don't like being liked for the size of our chest, you don't like being judged by your height. It happens. In all honesty, if you're having girl issues, the thing that's turning them off isn't your height -- it's your lack of confidence. A guy with "size" issues -- height or otherwise -- is not attractive, just like it's not attractive to guys when girls complain about their weight. There are plenty of imperfect people who attract many dates simply because they know how to work what they've got, and THAT'S hot.</p>
<p>yayyyy pretzelbreaker, you rock at life I agree</p>
<p>believe me guys are not that shallow when it comes to chest size. don't know of any guy who had a cut off. as long as they exist it is fine with most guys. some girls would refuse dates over hgiht but guys wouln't do it cuz ur only a b or cwhen they wanted dd</p>
<p>I'm 5'5", and I'd prefer to date guys who are 5'9" or taller (I'm a sucker for tall guys). That being said, I'm attracted to all sorts of guys (short and tall), and height is only one part of the equation; overall it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>yeah, I'm going to have to agree with collegehopeful. I really don't give a **** (honestly) about the size of a chick's tits. I'd like for them to exist, but whatever. They fall in the -nice to have- category; not something that I ever look for. I've also never heard of a guy EVER saying "her boobs are too small." Ever.</p>
<p>Big boobs were a fad in the 90s... this is a completely different age.</p>
<p>I'm 5'9'' and I've dated girls who were 5'4'', 5'5'', and 5'7''. I really like girls who are in the 5'5"-5'7" range.</p>
<p>And I totally agree with the above poster. All I care is that breasts exist, their size definitely is not a big issue. Infact, I'd be more likely to not like a girl who had disproportionately large ones than small ones.</p>
<p>7 inches for me</p>
<p>^^ -- That's what she said...</p>
<p>I'm 5'10"... the guy I took to prom was around 5'3", and I didn't care because he wasn't an insecure baby about it. I've dated men ranging from 5'3" to 6'3", and I've never quite understood why anyone would care. Most of the guys I've dated were taller than I am, more because of guys' issues with dating someone taller than they are than any issues on my part with dating someone shorter. I hooked up with a guy a couple of times who was taller than I was when we were standing up, but looked shorter than me when we were sitting down because most of my height is in my torso, and I broke it off because he was annoying about it and seemed to expect me to slouch to protect his fragile ego. Not happening.</p>
<p>My girlfriend is around 5'2"-5'3, and it's nice to not really have to care about our height difference. I call her fun-size, she says I'm freakishly tall, it's all good :)</p>
<p>I'm short. So, as long as he's around my height. It's fine. Shallow, but true. I mean, if it was an inch, not a biggy. But, six inches down, I don't think so.</p>
<p>I literally laughed out loud at Burgler's post. Why has wutangfinancial not responded to this thread with a scathing remark about how short guys will be virgins for life or something?</p>
