<p>I had a question regarding this earlier for my friend, who I though was being unreasonable.
Fellow guys, would you date someone taller than you?
Girls, would you date a guy shorter than you?</p>
<p>I wonder how the dynamics worked both ways. I always thought that height difference only mattered for girls, not guys.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t date a guy shorter than me because I’m barely 5’2". That’s just way too short…no offense to guys of that height, just not my preference :)</p>
<p>I’m 16 and 5’9, so I’m taller than most girls, and by the time I’m done growing I should be 5’11 or 6’. I don’t think I would ask out a girl who was taller than me unless it was a special situation, like I already new her, and was in love with her or something like that.</p>
<p>I’m 5’3" and my girlfriend’s 5’5", so I don’t think it really matters… If you have feelings for someone, a few inches – or lack thereof – shouldn’t matter.</p>
<p>I’m 5’10" and I really don’t mind dating girls that are taller/shorter than me…</p>
<p>I’m 5’8 and I wouldn’t date a guy shorter, it kind of makes guys seem unattractive to me</p>
<p>Is 5’9 short for a guy?</p>
<p>yep 10 char</p>
<p>Sorry… But no.</p>
<p>For one, I’m short. So no one can be shorter than me.
Two, I rarely date now… I had a bad experince and now I’m scared of dating in general</p>
<p>Saugus: 5’9" is juuuust under average adult male height in the U.S (at least in most studies).</p>
<p>It’s funny, because if you look at some of the men we’d call hyper-masculine, they date women taller than themselves (Tom Cruise, Mick Jagger).
Golf, 5’9 is about average. Not short.
I’m 5’11, and I don’t really care about height. However, I’d probably not date a midget :o.</p>
<p>eh 5’9 is short in my opinion, I wouldn’t date a guy who was only 5’9</p>
<p><em>coughcoughSHALLOWCCERScoughcough</em></p>
<p>^Agreed.
^^Then what would you consider a good height, golf?</p>
<p>6 feet and taller</p>
<p>It might not really matter for guys too much, but guys might just have an easier time asking out shorter girls (more confidence).</p>
<p>Golf, what if a 5’9" guy had everything else you were looking for? Tan, white teeth, shiny hair, charming, not arrogant or narcissistic, 160+ IQ, great muscle tone, etc.? If he was otherwise perfect, would those 3 inches still seal his fate?</p>
<p>I personally think height being considered in dating is generally ridiculous. Sure, if the other person is a 7’6 hulk or 3’4 midget, that’s crazy. Otherwise, how does it make a difference?</p>
<p>maybe though then I would have to stop wearing heels which would be a bummer</p>
<p>That’s overly artificial, don’t you think?</p>
