<p>Would you date a guy who was 5'9 over a guy who was 6'2 if the 5'9 guy was slightly better looking?</p>
<p>I can't belive at 5'9 how much crap I get for being short. I'll be sitting at a bar, like today, and a girl says I'm cute and starts flirting. She's decent looking, but not a super model. When I stand up, she says, "oh well, I wish you were taller." Huh? Isn't Tom cruise 5'7????</p>
<p>Honestly, I can understand not wanting to go out with losers, fatties, pimple faced uglies, or even guys shorter than yourself. But since when did 5'9=too short to hook up with? I never really gave it much thought till this year, but I think I might just develop a Napoleon Complex.</p>
<p>Chicks like to pretend like they care about stuff like height, but they really don't.</p>
<p>Look at Colin Farrell, he drinks and smokes like a madman yet the SAME women that say "smoking and excessive drinking is bad" love him and say "he's so hawt I'd do him lol."</p>
<p>Women are paradoxes. It'll always be that way.</p>
<p>;_;</p>
<p>Just get rich and you'll be fine. Buy a wife. After all, women don't really love men for who they are but rather for what they have.</p>
<p>I'm 5'3'', so pretty much every guy is taller than I am... height never really factors into what I like in a guy, unless they are so tall that it's awkward. </p>
<p>Just think of it this way - if a girl doesn't want to be with you because of your height or something equally superficial, you probably don't want to be with her at the end of the day anyways. :)</p>
<p>Well, being 5'9" also, probably not. Although, it really depends how much better looking and whose personality was better.</p>
<p>Also, "Look at Colin Farrell, he drinks and smokes like a madman yet the SAME women that say "smoking and excessive drinking is bad" love him and say "he's so hawt I'd do him lol.""... doesn't really apply to me, because I drink like a fish and every guy I've ever dated smoked....(although, I don't know if those are the reasons most people shouldn't have sex with Colin Farrell... I'd be afraid of getting like herpes or something.)</p>
<p>5'9" is a close to perfect height as far as i'm concerned (5'7").
i wouldn't care if the guy was my height or slightly shorter either.
but i have some guys friends over 6'... like, WAY over 6'... and it's just really awkward to talk to them. like, how's the weather up there kind of awkward xD</p>
<p>I'm only 5'11. I feel short compared to the guys at my school. It seems like all of them are 6'2-6'3+. Almost all of my friends are taller than me.</p>
<p>^I think CC is bit of an enigma...where up is down, short is tall...</p>
<p>Most hot girls consider this the golden hierarchy of importance
-money>*****>height>looks.....>some other crap that doesn't really matter</p>
<p>2.5 out of 4 ain't bad...i suppose. It's just that guys only care about if a girl is hot, and this can encompass so much (and no, personality does not matter until your looking to get married). Even then, an average girl who can give a great blow job is still in high demand. Girls want like 4 things and they all have to be there to be considered a player, not to mention the confidence to present those 4 things.</p>
<p>black-hair, pale-skinned, skinny, tall, dark laughing asiatic eyes, thin nose, long fingers (for piano), very small knuckles (weak hands signify that he is not a sex-freak), not hairy.</p>
<p>behavior:</p>
<p>always laughes and smiles, looks down (in humility and shyness), reads milton and all the other works of the great dead, is a classical pianist, speaks italian, writes in cursive for several romance languages, writes in calligraphy for arabic and chinese</p>
<p>possession:
either so poor that he evokes pity or he is of old wealth: a black ferrari, fountatins, bunch of monets and gauguins</p>
<p>dress: black suite, black shirt, black tie, black socks, black boots, black gloves.</p>
<p>Who is this guy you're talking about, sauron? Count Dracula or Snape?
..To the OP, it would depend on personality and such. I personally prefer really talls guys in the end, (I'm 5'8 myself) but it is just something I've always been attracted to. However, most of the guys I have liked this past yr have been very close to my own height and I really didn't take height into account when it came down to it. Some people are shallow - there is no need for a Napolean Complex (that's the worst) because you are plenty tall, so don't let one girl (or even a couple) screw with your self confidence.</p>

phobos, less sleep won't inhibit height growth.

i'm not running on some old wives tale. growth hormone is in fact released in certain parts of a sleep cycle, and its secretion is affected by sleep patterns...for most of my first year in college, i'd regularly get 5 hours of sleep or less every day (bar weekends). and considering i'm under the commonly accepted bar of 21 years as the point when most guys stop growing, i figure sleeping more would at least be a good place to start :rolleyes: i mean, i could still be completely off the mark, but it sorta makes sense to me. wouldn't hurt anyways...summer's started for me.</p>
