<p>To be honest I don't think I could date a guy shorter than me.
But then again, I'm 5'1'' so it's not as if being taller than me is rare.</p>
<p>"I never approach girls. I'd rather lead a chaste life."</p>
<p>Nice coping mechanism for social ineptitude.</p>
<p>Your anger clearly stems from involuntary celibacy.</p>
<p>I'm about 5'9" (female) and guys usually feel a bit awkward when I wear heels. I'm not going to stop wearing heels --so I guess that sort of weeds out the shorter dudes (by shorter, I mean anything under 5'11") </p>
<p>I guess that makes me superficial. tough.</p>
<p>It sucks for tall girls and short guys.</p>
<p>Guys don't like tall girls.</p>
<p>Girls don't like short guys.</p>
<p>Anyways, what really gets on my nerves are girls that are 5'2 or 5'3 that prefer to date guys taller than 6ft. I mean, its not superficial if a tall girl (5'9 or 5'10) wants to date a guy over 6ft, but when short girls want a guy at least 6-7 inches taller, it's just plain dumb.</p>
<p>What I don't get is why so many girls wish they were taller when they're not that short or are already of average height.</p>
<p>actually most average height girls don't wish to be taller. even some shorter girls are happy to be their height...most girls do not want to be over 5'7'' because that creates even more problems attracting the opposite sex</p>
<p>I agree with you, MightyNick, from a tall girl's perspective. It gets on my nerves so much when I see a girl who barely comes up to the shoulder of her bf unless he's ridiculously tall and everyone only comes up to his shoulders (such is the case with my friend Dane who is 6'7"). I understand that you don't always pick who you fall for, but seriously. Leave some for us tall girls, sheesh! </p>
<p>vicente, I've never seen that so much as tall girls wishing to be shorter. Which is sad, because I think you should embrace your natural self. Slouching and not being confident enough to wear heels only makes the tall girls less attractive to guys. I've never wished to be any shorter, (although I have wished that everyone else was taller! lol.) since it's nice to be able to reach things on top shelves without help and gain 5 pounds without everyone being able to notice. My problem is that there are guys, who, even though they are taller than me, won't date me because I'm still "too tall". Which is weird, because I've had guys shorter than me hit on me before, and it apparently didn't bother them that much.</p>

<p>I think its a problem if you're taller than 5'9, but if you're anything under that height and over 5'2, most guys will go for you (assuming you look good too) :)
IMO, girls that are taller than 5'9 tend to look too tall (a 5'9 girl looks taller than a guy who is 5'9) and thus have a hard time dating. I think most guys would agree the ideal height for a girl is between 5'3-5'7, whereas for guys its 5'10-6'2.</p>
<p>I would totally date a guy shorter than me, even a few inches, if I found him attractive.</p>
<p>I'm a 5'7" female.</p>
<p>I would date a guy shorter than me too if the guy could get over any issues he might have about not being the "bigger one". However, most of the shorter guys that have expressed interest in me were not my type at all; the one I was interested in for a while dated my best friend a couple years ago and wasn't exactly a great boyfriend to her, so that rules him out. Most of the guys I'm interested in are no taller than 6ft and usually pretty thin-ish (not <em>skinny</em> but not super-muscled), so it's not like I'm looking for someone 6'4" and crazy cut, which is kinda gross-looking sometimes.</p>

<p>are you sure you're not describing me? hehe.</p>
<p>it is funny, even my really ugly tall male friends have little trouble dating. Then again, they're good talkers. They tend to date really short girls, too. Short girls love tall guys too. </p>
<p>That said, good looking short guys who can talk do really well. Basically, the only constant for guys is good social skills. A lot of guys just can't connect with women and blame it on something physical. I do it with my height, but in reality, it's only a minor disadvantage compared to being socially awkward.</p>

<p>It's not just social skills. You can be a perfectly calm guy and have the ability to carry on a conversation, but unless you're funny or have a good sense of humor, you're not gonna get anywhere. Women are really attracted to funny guys.</p>
<p>Hah, I don't think you can find any guys shorter than me who aren't in a circus (<5.0 feet).
Would I date a shorter guy? Ehhh, if I was dating based on mainly looks then no, but if I'm dating because he's interesting or I like his personality (much more common than aesthetic appeal alone) then sure, why not?</p>

<p>Hah, not always. A lot of times I laugh just to be polite. Beevis&Butthead jokes/laughing at your own jokes/inane comments =/= funny.</p>
<p>But that's not a guy being funny, that's a guy being a dumb guy and thinking every fart joke is funny. If someone can actually pull off an excellent joke or is great at stand-up, that's pretty hot. How else do you think Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld got girls?</p>
<p>If you can be funny without making those types of jokes and can tease girls without offending them, then you're pretty much golden, regardless of your height, looks, physical appearance, etc. How else do you think guys get girls?</p>
<p>what wutang and mightnick are saying sounds about right.</p>
<p>wutang, you ever think your "tall, ugly" friends might just have really awesome personalities that attract women to them? also, who are you to call them "ugly"? Someone else might find them very attractive physically as well as otherwise. My girl friends have found some guys attractive that I think are NOT cute at all, and I don't know that they would consider either one my college exes "hot", but all that means is that we have different tastes in men, not that one of us is right or wrong about what is hot/cute.</p>
<p>this dude said "slender"</p>
<p>lol</p>
