Height in Dating?

<p>LOL. I don’t think I’ve ever met a guy my age shorter than me… I’m 4’11". Soo, on that basis I’d say no. Plus all of this stuff just doesn’t make sense to me. Too early. Maybe I’m just immature and childish.</p>

<p>Well I’m 6’4", so I basically go for the shorter girls. </p>

<p>5’8"-6’0" would be pretty sweet, but I don’t discriminate against girls who are shorter then 5’8". ACTUALLY short girls (5 foot flat etc) can be super adorable, because of their height.</p>

<p>I don’t understand why people who prefer people of certain heights are superficial. There are a lot of physical characteristics that are attractive and unattractive to certain people. I know people can’t control their heights, but they also can’t control how their face looks naturally (without make-up or plastic surgery). They also can’t control weight distribution when they’re healthy (skinny vs curvy for women, for example). Physical characteristics that people can’t control factor into being attractive to other people. It’s no more superficial than if a person meets two potential mates who are exactly his/her type, except one is black and one is Asian. Should the person feel guilty because he finds the physical characteristics that the black can’t control more or less desirable than the characteristics of the Asian? No. We all have our preferences.</p>

<p>It’s easy to say height shouldn’t be a deal breaker, but a person shouldn’t be judged if he feels uncomfortable dating someone who has a significant height difference.</p>

<p>As for me, I don’t care if my mate is taller or shorter, but I can’t handle significant height differences. A few inches is fine, but I don’t want to carry around a step stool so that I can kiss my mate or my mate can kiss me.</p>

<p>Well, I’m 5’2" so generally I date people taller then me. I’d feel awkward dating someone shorter then me, not that there’s too many people that are anyways. But I mean if you really like someone there height shouldn’t matter.</p>

<p>I’m with GHF. Well said.</p>

<p>I’m 5’8 and i can’t even think about dating a guy shorter than me or even my height. 6’ tall is the minimum</p>

<p>Well I’m 6’ 5" so if a girl is taller than me than it is a turnoff…But I could see dating a girl that is 5’11" or 6’…</p>

<p>Tall guys are usually better.
Would guys not date a girl because there too short?</p>

<p>Woah brah…6’5"?!
Lucky! I’m 5’11".
Almost hitting 6’!!</p>

<p>Honestly girls under 5’2" are just to short to date! For me at least!
I feel weird…last year I met this 1/2 Hispanic 1/2 White girl who was gorgeous!
She showed interest in me, but the fact that she was 5’0 just made me feel weird around her.
I’m regretting not making a move on her though, I’m a senior now and she’s off at UCSD. ):
Feels bad man.</p>

<p>Heightism… so stupid. I am 5’11’', but being a majority Hispanic school and a significant Indian/Asian minority, that is gigantor.</p>

<p>^Yeah, lol.</p>

<p>^^^^I knew a GIRL who was 6’5’'. She plays D1 basketball now (big shocker)</p>

<p>I’m a girl and I’m 5’8’'. I don’t really care about who’s taller as long as there’s not a giant height difference. The main perk of dating a guy taller than you is that you can wear heels around him, but I don’t ever wear heels so it’s a non-issue.</p>

<p>I don’t feel like telling how tall I am. lol! even though in another thread I probably did.</p>

<p>I know plenty of girls over 6 feet and plenty of guys 6’6 and over. Probably because of basketball and baseball :).</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>I find really tall guys incredibly attractive, but being a 6 foot tall 15 year old girl doesn’t do me much good, I suppose. I actually have some feelings for this boy in my History class, and he’s 5’4, and when we walk down the hall together, it is incredibly awkward, I tower over the poor boy.</p>

<p>I’m only 5’ 7, which is shorter than most girls. Can girls shorter than 5’4 ever find someone my height attractive? This is a serious problem for me. People already don’t respect me because of my height, and because of my height I can’t be a real leader. I hope my height won’t rule out girls as well.</p>

<p>Height ≠ leadership lol. People respect confidence and competence. And anyway, people can profess to whatever arbitrary criteria they want (e.g. I’ll only date guys over 6’3" or whatever), but you’d be surprised how quote-unquote true love can change people’s standards.</p>
