Ummm if I had been rejected I would be on here *****ing about how shallow girls are. I'm doing quite fine for myself actually, which is why I'm defending girls that have certain understandable tastes... you are coming across as a 5'2" guy that is trying to take a swing back at me for calling you an oompa loompa. sweet, dude.</p>

<p>edit: annnd just read your post above the one I replied to... damn I'm so right.

<p>Wow, you're so right. It's okay there fellow oompa loompa. With that kind of attitude you'll find many friends.</p>

<p>I'm 5'3".....at least 5 inches taller than me. or half a head equivalent... so I'd say 5'9 or taller would be ideal.
I just feel it's awkward that guys shorter than the girls looks like your brother or a kid standing next to you. (sorry if it offended anyone)</p>

<p>I feel like if you're really that short, you shouldn't be so picky about how tall your men are. Do you really need someone 5 inches taller than you? Maybe it's just me, but it kind of hurts my neck to look at really really tall people (6+ inches taller than me)... I can't imagine why someone who's short, like 5'0"-5'4", would want to date a person nearly a foot taller than them. I'm good with guys my height (5'9") or taller but I would pretty much draw the line at 6'4", and that's pushing it.</p>

<p>What's the ideal height girls like to date?</p>

<p>Probably 6'-6'2"</p>

<p>I'm 5'7" and the shortest guy I've dated was 5'9". My personal ideal is 6'2"-6'4".</p>

<p>Typo with my post:</p>

<p>I meant "pretty short (<5'5")"</p>

<p>BerkeleySenior why would you need someone 7-9 inches taller than you? Why do girls even want to date this tall? </p>

<p>I can't imagine girls like to jump or use chairs to kiss their men or men like to bend down. Photogenically couples who are within 2 inches of each otherlook the best.</p>

<p>man, that's like asking "what do you need someone with a chiseled jawline, nice big deepset eyes, and just generally good looking for?" If she's attracted to tall guys, that's just the way it goes. Attraction isn't about necessity.</p>

<p>I think that a 5" difference looks the best, though, which is what the difference in average heights is. I actually like girls about 5" shorter than me.</p>

<p>collegehopeful, I'm with you. Even though I'm 5'9" I would not want to date someone over about 6'4" (and even that is a little tall) as I said earlier. That seems like it would lead to some serious neck pain for all parties involved. I think all the guys I've dated have been about 5'11"-6'1". I'm not sure on the exact height, but none of them were THAT much taller than me. Usually I'd be even with or a little taller if I wore like 3.5 in heels.</p>

"I really feel bad for guys under 5'5". They cant even get short girls. Who are they supposed to date? Midgets?"</p>

<p>The "M" word is similiar to the "N" word. Choose better. "Little people" is correct. </p>

<p>Additionally, a female who is a little person is a girl as well.</p>

<p>Do girls really hold to their standards? I mean, my sister said she wanted to date a guy her height - 5'8, no shorter. Her current boyfriend is 5'5. Granting he is a pretty cool guy.</p>

<p>LQTM, in my experience, they only loosely adhere to their standards. But I'm sure that some women have very strict standards, just like some guys do. I've seen many girls compromise much more generously than they said they would once they find a guy that they like that is shorter that they'd like, or whatever.</p>

<p>I'm 16, 5'11" and according to doctors haven't hit my growth spurt yet. All the girls I've been with were shorter than me.</p>

<p>Growth spurts give you ridiculous stretch marks. :(</p>

<p>I can't say I've had that happen before, lol.</p>

<p>Do girls think guys around 5'8 or 5'9 are too short</p>

<p>I don't know. I just like it when guys are a head taller than me. I see eye-to-eye with guys only 2 inches taller than me, but I have to look up at someone 7-9 inches taller. Also tall guys tend to have nice long limbs, which I am really attracted to. I like it when they can literally wrap themselves around me, since they have a larger chest area and long arms. I have to admit I tend to notice tall guys most often.</p>
