How much does height really matter to you in a relationship?
I've always known about the 6 foot plus rule but didn't realize how strongly many of my guy friends felt about it.

As a guy I don’t give a shit what height the girl is, she can be 4’ or 6’ I don’t care either way. Height doesn’t mean much tbh, I feel like girls miss out on some great guys because they “aren’t tall enough.” Whatever the guy lacks in height he may make up for in other areas ;). I’m a 6’2 male so I guess this thread doesn’t apply to me.
Meaningless comment since both 4' and 6' is shorter than you. What if the girl was 6' 6''? I actually knew a girl (fairly vaguely though) that was this tall, so I'm not just making up stuff just for the sake of it.
I’d be fine with that. Like I said, height doesn’t mean much. I knew a girl in high school who was taller than me and she was incredibly pretty plus very athletic. I never said anything because I was a very religious Muslim at the time. SMH.
4 foot tall gf?
Short girls just don't feel very womanly to me, I can't take them seriously. But it's not a deal breaker
shut the fuck up drumpfy
like a pundscum tadpole trying to swim with sharks
go back to the metaverse and fuck your imaginary thots
Cursed with being a manlet (5’8), I don’t really care about height but I like being with someone around my height, 2-3 inches in either direction is fine by me. Hopefully the kids will be taller LOL.
Bro I'm 5'7 fuck you hahaha
King, they want us divided and hating on each other. My gf says I’m 5’7, I say I’m 5’8. We are brothers in arms.
I think most girls just care about having a guy who is taller than they are, which is fairly easy to achieve since most average women aren't that tall (yes, I know there are tall woman).
Even know a few couples who are the same height, didn't seem to bother them that much.
I don't believe height alone is the criteria for women when they look for a partner, I am 6' 2" and no woman has approached me because of that alone. They all also cared about my life, values, personality, career, interests, etc. - all those things were far more relevant to her than height.
Asking what girls think to a forum full of guys....
It's for the boys I'm sorry, my bad
haha. It is only like 99% guys here. May be the 1% will respond or may be not.
If the guy is very good looking, the height does not matter as much. The height issue is mostly in the guy's head. If the guy is 6'3 and looks like a horses ass, he is not going to do well with the females. If a shorter guy is good looking, has confidence and not a total ahole, he is going to be able to date any female: short or tall, wealthy not wealthy. smart or not so smart, etc.
Majority of my girl friends are very shallow when it comes to dating.
Some of them refuse to date short guys. Maybe cus we are tall and where we're from, (Europe) the guys are generally way taller than us. I'm a girl (5'9).
And I know that personality is what matters but some girls just want the looks. Sad but true
Also from Europe but that doesn't mean much as there's a lot of height variation on the continent. Assuming you're Scandinavian, Dutch, or something like that. What's the best height in your eyes? I'd think for a northern Euro maybe 6'3 or 6'4 is optimal.
what's wrong with horse asses man
Look at how many qualifiers you added in for the short guy. Being taller matters. I agree it's not everything, but it's like believing bs when a girl says she just wants someone "nice". Yeah you can't be a d*ck, but she won't even find out how nice you are if you aren't attractive enough.
Yeah, but all I am really saying is that if you are good looking and put together at 5'8, you you are not going to have any trouble picking up females. A 5'8 good looking guy is going to do better with women than a taller guy who is not so good looking or even average looking. If everything else is equal, then yeah, a taller guy would have a better chance.
I care far more about whether she has a big ole set of knockers than how tall she is, although I think a bit of height is nice too.
That said, my wife is both short and pretty flat. Personality and chemistry are more important.
She does have a relative dump truck of an ass though.
I never understand these “good personality and chemistry” guys. Genuine question: What makes you think your wife has a “personality” better than everyone else? To me at least it seems like there are enough women who are nice (even if it’s a fraction of the whole) that there could be theoretically multiple people you’d be happy with if you took the time to get to know all of them really well and then go on dates, etc. stuff like looks, etc ends up being the tiebreaker to choose who to go with. Happy that you’re still in a successful marriage but am scratching my head as to how you went with someone totally opposite to your desired body type due to the above reasons.
Her personality isn't "better" than everyone else's, it just fits me better than other girls' personalities do.
Like how big tits aren't better than big asses, it's just different strokes for different folks. I just happen to like big tits. But a personality that fits mine is 100x more important than big tits.
Have you met women
I'm 6'1" (maybe a 6'2" tbh) so not really a thing I'm on the receiving end of. On the flip, most girls I've dated or had semi-relationships with have been absolute pipsqueaks, like mostly 5'4" or less. I really don't give a fuck. Girls who are like 6'4" or bust need to take a look in the mirror tho. Does bum me out when I see my shorter friends struggling cus of this tho, especially cus they're fun, smart, good looking guys who been in the gym and take phenomenal care of themselves. Lame imo but who am I to talk since obv im gonna side w my friends. I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their preferences at the end of the day, whether that be height or anything else.
I am currently dating a girl that is 5'11-6' and I enjoy being closer in height then the girls that I have dated that are much shorter than me.
How short are these short friends? 5"7 - 5"8?
I think if you're avg height (5'9 - 5'10) there's nothing really limiting you, though you don't get the boost of being 6 foot+
No strong preference for casual sex but definitely want a tall wife for my kids' sake. Growing up short and shooting up to be tall opened my eyes to how superficial the world can be. Being short sucks, guys don't respect you as much, girls are less interested. Being tall and big garners respect from other men and makes women more attracted to you. Obviously not everyone is that superficial but a lot of people are. Same with muscle mass. Getting muscular is a huge game changer. And there are obviously countless other factors that can make you attractive.
I agree with your analysis 100%, but as someone who is 5'9", the reality is that in every other aspect of life it's best to be around the median. Everything else is easy for me--cars, flights, clothes, furniture, city living, etc. Being tall is great for dating and a major plus in business, but that can be overcome. I live in an historical townhouse built in 1875--if I were 1 inch taller it would be a nightmare. At my height it's a dream.
The great thing is, everything in our society is built for the height of an average American male--not the average female, the average male (the average including whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc.). I don't know why the phenomenon seems to exist as it does, but at some point in history that's how it happened and it stuck.
Also, a weird phenomenon in my family: shorter men married to taller women. Grandfather was 5'7" and his wife was 5'11". My brother is 5'7" and his wife is 5'10".
I honestly think (as cliche as it sounds) around 6'0 is an ideal height for dating. Once you get to be 6'4, you start to lose out on some shorter women (at least from what I've seen), but you can pretty much date 99% of women and still be taller, while giving about 95% of women the chance to still wear heels and be shorter than you.
I would have agreed but I think with height inflation the new ideal would be a 6'2-3", especially if you're white
Height disparity will get widen, just like income disparity.
When you have a free market, you have the wealth gap, and when you have a free dating market, you will have the height gap, and believe me you don't want your kids (especially boys) to receive short end of the stick.
When it comes to dating, being short is like applying to IB with a shit GPA, you got dinged by all the top banks at first look. End you end up at a bucket shop doing endless pitchwork (if you're lucky!).
If you're short and want to have kids, don't resort to a short spouse, find a tall one, you don't want your boys to hate life when they hit puberty and realise they're fucked.
Saw a 6'4 redhead viking type woman this weekend at Marina Grill in Belmar. I want her to have my kids.
All that matters is that the girl is Asian. Asian girls are the only thing that matter in this world.
Your height is actually close to ideal if your interest is Asian girls as they typically are shorter (5’ 6” and below) compared to White/European girls.
A lot of Chinese women are super tall. Of course, Asian women who grow up in the U.S. are often quite tall. So it's not quite the slamdunk one might think.
Why do you like Asian women so much?
tight pussy, cute face, more feminine, generally better personality and smarter, usually not obese, beautiful hair
I like all races and nationalities, but for different reasons. above are reasons to like asian girls, but there are reasons to like other races as well.
I guess it's just me but never find Asian chicks attractive. Same with blacks.
According to an OkCupid analysis from several years ago, Asian women were the most popular subgroup among men and women in online dating. It's a free country. You're entitled to your bad taste.
…
Got a fetish going on?
Guy above me is like "whites only" but I'm the one with the fetish.
Height Muscle mass, unless you are reallyyy short. Pair that with a nice personality and a bit of money and I honestly think you won't have many problems with dating. Muscle mass garners more respect than height does from other males.
IMO you should just strive to have as much of all three of these as you can.
Is it just me or does it feel like that the high school boys nowadays are very tall?
At my high school, they got shorter every year. I saw so many kids who were barely 5'5.
Don't care about height, if she's a baddie she's a baddie. But I personally find it a special kind of hot when a girl is taller tbh, went out for a bit with an Dutch athlete chick who was 6'3 (I'm under 6') and still think about that time semi-frequently (at least as far as thinking about exes is concerned).
5'5 here (so probably shorter than all of you) and while i definitely take a hit on the hookup scene, in the realm of serious relationships it was never really a problem. I've found that the type of girls I view as long-term relationship material, most of the time it also turns out she prioritizes other things over height. Also, I frankly don't care about my height either and it probably shows. My girl is taller than me, attractive, and since she goes to Stanford she had tall Silicon Valley tech/business bros hitting on her all the time. In the end none of that mattered. Having a compatible personality/background, making sure you dress well, work out, go to a good barber, being funny, carrying yourself with confidence, having a respectable career trajectory….all these things help. if you hit enough of these, you'll find that height becomes not as important.
You're winning king.
No because we don’t know if he’s very attractive. He might be tall but have 0 luck with the ladies
Lil uzi: “In reality I’m 5’4, stand on my money now I’m 6’6”
Are you a girl?
I am 6’4, gf is 5’9 but I don’t think single Larry would care too much unless sub 5’5 female just due to me being that tall
around same height ideally, maybe 2 or 3 inches shorter so she can wear heels and we'd be the same. but I don't really give a shit if not. can't be fat tho
I´m 6´4. W or L?
