<p>Physical attraction is important to a good relationship. There has to be that attraction. It is not shallow to find certain heights ideal.</p>
<p>I’m 6’0", and I probably wouldn’t date a girl taller than me. lol, that would just be scary.</p>
<p>^ how would you feel if a 5’6’’ girl called you too short?</p>
<p>^haha that would be brutal. But it wouldn’t surprise me. Some girls just think they’re so great that they set really high standards.</p>
<p>A girl who called him short just eliminated 80% of her dating pool so her loss.
Once you’re 5’11" you can consider yourself in the tall range.</p>
<p>elizlan, that’s so true, lol. Some girls think the sun just shines out of their ass or something, and everyone should worship them. Thus, they MUST have the tallest sexiest guys. This=entitlement. Those kind of women are the gold-diggers and end up being moms who think their kids are the great things since sliced bread when they’re actually probably total morons. </p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s a little ridiculous to call men 5’9" to 6’0" short because they aren’t. They’re average to above average. Under 5’9" IS short for men though, just like my height (5’9") is tall for women. Anything like 5’6"+ for girls is pretty tall.
Little anecdote from my life: I was actually the short one the other day. I was playing this board game called Argument and one of the rules is that the shortest person goes first. four of us were playing, 2 girls and 2 guys, and I was actually the shortest one. I’m never the short one so it was really weird. The 2 guys were like 6’0" and 6’4" and the other girl is like 5’11". (this girl, btw, dates a guy who is slightly shorter than I am, so it can be done!)</p>
<p>
calling me a shorty huh? (im 5’8’')</p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s a little ridiculous to call men 5’9" to 6’0" short because they aren’t. They’re average to above average. Under 5’9" IS short for men though, just like my height (5’9") is tall for women.</p>
<p>Sweet, I made the cut. Now I can go around making fun of the 5’8" guys at the gym that I tower over.</p>
<p>There is a big difference between a height someone being 5’8", 5’10" and 6’0". Since the height of most men are concentrated within that range there is a noticable difference. You need to be 4-5 inches taller than someone to say you tower over them.</p>
<p>^thats funny because i look bigger then every 5’9’’ guy i know… i know it sounds wierd but everytime we ask people who looks taller they say me, and none of us are lying about our hieght… believe it or not but 1’’ is NOTHING! comare yourself to someone thats 5’8’’ or 5’10’’ and you’ll see what im talking about, you wont find any difference! </p>
<p>and im 17, so i’ll proabably be 5’9’’ at that age :)</p>
<p>Yeah, that was the joke. I’m 1 inch taller than guys 5’8", but according to what’s her face, I’m average and the 5’8" guy is short. It just seems like she’s labelling any guy shorter than herself as short.</p>
<p>Not that I really care, because in real life no one’s going to divide a guy 5’9" and 5’8" into two completely separate categories. I just find it funny when someone categorizes something with such a spectrum into a few simple categories.</p>
<p>did you really just refer to me as “what’s her face”? That’s real sweet of you, I appreciate it. /sarcasm</p>
<p>I don’t get upset for people calling me tall, because I am. I get the names too. If i had a dime for everytime someone called me a giant, I’d be rich. Jeez, people, accept what you got cause it ain’t changing anytime soon.</p>
<p>^ giant :|</p>
<p>^that was a joke, btw</p>
<p>
yeah thats whats ****ing me off about these girls… like i said in my previous posts… if your a tall girl, cool… but dont call 5’8’’ guys short because of it!</p>
<p>5’7"-below is where i’d say guys start being considered short</p>
<p>I’d say below 5’10" is short in most women’s minds.</p>
<p>This is what I (if only i could bold the ‘I’) think the scale should be:</p>
<p>Below 5’6’‘: short
5’7’‘-5’11’‘: average
Above 6’: tall</p>
<p>i dont know why anyone would consider 6’0’‘-6’3’’ average… </p>
<p>ANYWAYS… i really didn’t expect this thread to get to 27 pages! LOL… its probably gonna die soon because people are getting tired of talking about hieght!</p>
<p>well women’s minds can kiss my @$$!</p>
<p>^ and plus, who can fit into the standards women give these days?</p>
<p>~thats why i don’t feel bad for girls turning anorexic because men pressure women to look a specific way… because girls do it all the time!</p>
<p>5’7" is not the average in any country and you can be considered tall at 5’11".</p>
<p>Its more like </p>
<p>5’7" or below- short
5’8" - 5’10" - average
5’11" and above- tall</p>
<p>did you really just refer to me as “what’s her face”? That’s real sweet of you, I appreciate it.</p>
<p>There’s a bunch of tall chicks on this forum. I couldn’t remember which one it was and I couldn’t be bothered to press on the back button.</p>
