<p>sauron- sounds like the guy i would run the hell away from. wth??</p>
<p>I personally don't care long as they are taller than me with high heels (I'm 5'2 which means I'll be 5'3-5'5 with heels?) It's pretty easy to be taller than me so I don't see a problem.</p>
<p>Although alot of my girlfriends seem to concentrate on height... alot. Like 6'+ is a must. (though my best friend apparently wants a guy who's about tall as her 5'4?)</p>
<p>I'm 5'10...but the decision between the 5'9 guy and the 6'2 guy would come down to personality and chemistry...not physical appearance. </p>
<p>Sure, I'd prefer for a guy to be 6'2 over 5'9, but I'm not going to totally write him off based on something dumb like that. Well...excluding more extreme height differences...so I guess I'm a hypocrite after all...but yeah it just gets too uncomfortable for me (and I'm sure most guys) at a certain point.</p>
<p>well, i am short so i hate guys who are really tall [unless they are really really sweet and nice and stuff], so i dont see why girls think you are too short.. it doesnt make a difference. Those girls are just out to show off their boyfriends to girls, they arent really into a relationship. Ditch them and find someone who doesnt care if you are short or tall.</p>
<p>hmm...that's interesting. my guess at the ideal man is someone to be scared of?? well, i thought girls dream about a very mild, always-smiling, beautiful, weak, artistic man who absolutely worships her. </p>
<p>why u so concerned about height. as long as they are not super tall or short, it should content u.</p>

<p>God, no. Those are the worst. Or among the worst.</p>
<p>seriously man who cares? all these superficial things dont and shouldnt mean anything</p>
<p>superficial things don't mean anything?
really.
or do you only mean it when you're talking about guys?
and when it comes to girls it does matter?
this thread seems to contradict the statement that superficial things don't matter. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=332891%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=332891</a> (and not just your OP, all of your other comments throughout there as well).</p>
<p>example: posts #6, 17, 20, 24....</p>
<p>im 6 feet ugly fat pimpled face nervous..... i have no chance :D</p>
<p>I'm just dating around now and one of the guys I've been out with recently a few times is only 5'4''. He's as wide as he is tall and I find him kind of adorable, even though I'm a smidge taller than him. It's all about the personality. </p>
<p>And on the flip side, another guy I've seen a few times is 6'2''. It really does not matter to most girls how tall you are. Ideally most girls would like 6' or taller, but then again, ideally most guys like D cups. Just because you like it doesn't mean you'll get it or be any less happy with what you do get.</p>
<p>As long as they are taller than me it doesn't really matter (and for reference I'm 5'3"... so if they are shorter than me.. they are really short)</p>
<p>I've dated a 5'7" guy before.. didn't matter. I could still wear heals & be shorter than him. He didn't have to bend down as far to kiss me either.</p>
<p>I'm dating a 6'3" guy now.. it's great.. he can reach things on high shelves, & change a lightbulb without a step stool or standing on his toes. He comes in handy.</p>
<p>hey bro i have it worse....I'm 5'4 and i'm a senior in high school...</p>
<p>not to mention my school is known for great athletes...so all the girls are taller than me...</p>
<p>it seriously sucks....height matters...well at least in my school. if i was about 6 inches taller i would be such a pimp cuz i'm pretty good looking....sigh..</p>
<p>^Start taking growth hormone NOW. Talk to your doctor. At 5'4, many men don't manage to ever find a spouse, regardless of her looks. Dateline did a study, and even with massive wealth and good looks, a women will choose a 6' ugly, poor man over a guy who is under 5'6.</p>
<p>I'm 5 inches taller, and it will be very hard for me to find a women in North America who wants to bear my children. For most management positions, height matters. The fact is, looks are very much secondary to height and preceived strength and power.</p>
<p>You're 5'9 and its hard for you? Jeez, I didn't realize how picky things were with height. 5'9 is just fine for me. :)</p>

WRONG!</p>
<p>I'm 5'7", and I would have no problem at all going out with a guy who was 5'9".</p>
<p>i'm 5'7" and one of the shortest in my class</p>
<p>The average height for a female is 5'3.8".</p>
<p>Guys who complain that they are "too short" are whiners. There must be something else wrong with you ;).</p>
<p>^I don't think something else is wrong with me, I'm a well built Italian guy. My hot or not score is a 9.4, to quantify things. I'm funny. And I do manage to get laid now and then. The problem is that girls have broken up with me or do not want to go out with me because of my height, i.e. they have a strict preference for taller men. Again, Google the Dateline study along with the Economist sudy. Likewise, on most online dating sites women will post that they are only looking for 6'+. When it comes to a relationship, women are subconciously selecting someone they want to breed with and that means TALL men. I'm worried my ability to marry will be severely comprimised.</p>
<p>Height has nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>DHandler has it all right. Girls, regardless of what they say, could care less about looks. As I said in another post, I've seen hott women with ugly ass guys.</p>
<p>Women are attracted to certain attributes of a man, not related to looks. Women typically look for guys that will be good providers for them, and there future children (Guys with Money. Guys that know where they are going, and know exactly how to get there. Guys that are confident. Guys that can make them have a good time(laugh)).</p>
<p>Cheers,
Alex</p>
<p>Hmmm. . .I'm not so sure about that one, Alex. Maybe I am just superficial, but looks do matter to me. The guy might be the richest, funniest, most confident guy out there, but if I am not physically attracted to him things simply aren't going to work out. That's the plain truth of the matter. Height is one of the most important aspects of looks. I just never find myself attracted to guys who are shorter than me. He needs to be at least my height and preferably a couple inches or more taller than me (I'm 5'7"). </p>
<p>All of those other things you listed, however, can make a borderline guy much more attractive to a girl. Guys that I am not sure if I am attracted to or not become a hundred times more attractive if they are confident and funny. It is a big help. However, I think it is silly to say that girls could care less about looks. I am yet to have a friend who could care less about them. We may not talk about it much to guys, but believe me we talk about it when it is just us.</p>
