Height in Dating?

<p>@Political you don’t mind having a giant as your gf? :smiley: :D</p>

<p>I think I have a good height (6’2’’).</p>

<p>

if you’re a guy, i.e. :D</p>

<p>Personally, I like guys who are my height or a LITTLE taller. I’m about 5’4" and most guys I meet are taller than me. I probably wouldn’t date guys who are way taller than me- I don’t like having to look up just to have a conversation.</p>

<p>I’m 6’5", and I wouldn’t date my dream girl if she were 6’11" because then she wouldn’t be my dream girl. Contradiction! </p>

<p>…</p>

<p>I don’t date contradictions…</p>

<p>To me, height is but a number, and I’d go essentially six inches down and six inches up from my height. As long as she’s carrying the qualities I look for, I could care less where she is in that ladder.</p>

<p>My brother is a little over a year younger than me, and he’s four inches taller (I’m a guy btw). Talk about sibling rivalry…</p>

<p>I did have uncles on both sides of the family who grew 5 inches in college. They say sophomore year was the magic year for them.</p>

<p>So, who knows? Maybe I’ll hit 6’3’’ after all. :slight_smile: I’d be happy with 6 foot even.</p>

<p>My friend’s younger sister is taller than him. By a lot too. That I assure you is a lot more embarassing.</p>

<p>To guys who say they would date girls 6 inches taller than them… I have one thing to ask you:</p>

<p>What is wrong with you</p>

<p>lol…</p>

<p>@Political, so what are the qualities you’re looking for? Curious - don’t mean to pry. </p>

<p>For me, height is not a problem - unless I grow to be a giant. (I’m still growing. If I’ll be 6’, I won’t be comfortable with a guy who is 5’5 - that’s what I think now. But for now, 5’5 guy is okay. :slight_smile: ) There are more important things in a guy’s quality. As silverturtle put it - </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>From a guy’s perspective, it’s true. From a girl’s perspective, it’s even more so.</p>

<p>I’m a 5’11 guy (only a soph so I hope I’ll break 6 feet :)) and my range would probably be 5’6-6’2 for girls, but height’s not everything for me, so idc lol.</p>

<p>If she’s six inches taller than me, good looking, and has the qualities I care about, why not?</p>

<p>I wish I were taller :(. I’m only 5’5, which is pretty bad for a guy :mad:.</p>

<p>^I feel your pain. Girls don’t even consider short guys like us.</p>

<p>Now how bout the weight/mass?
I think it would be incredibly strange for a guy to ever go with a girl who weighs more than him…</p>

<p>/derail</p>

<p>I love guys that are 6’ and taller. I’m 5’ 4" and I’m <em>barely</em> attracted to guys under 5’ 9", so shorter than 5’ 4" is a no go for me! Although it’s my preference, my ex was about two inches taller than I am and I loved him. His height isn’t my preference though…</p>

<p>I’ve never understood that. I prefer dating girls close to me in height, taller or shorter (preferably shorter but that’s a very minimal preference). It’d be really awkward going out with someone over half a foot shorter/taller than me.</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with some of you - height is not a big issue for me. Intelligence is. I like guys who are smart and funny.</p>

<p>right now im right at 5’10" which is below average. i turned 16, 3 months ago. is there a possibility I grow to maybe 6’1" before college starts?</p>

<p>

If only I could be taller than MY brother, haha… but then I’d be over 6’ 0 and I don’t want that -.-</p>

<p>

Most guys keep growing until start or middle of college right? So depending on your genetics and maybe lifestyle… perhaps? But 5’ 10 isn’t too bad!</p>
