Does height really matter to you? Meaning, are you strict with your preference of height in a potential partner?

Poll coming...

For me, not totally. As long as they are as tall or taller than me. I am 5 foot 4 inches. And to be honest, I would prefer that they be under 6 foot because some things are more easily accomplised ;) :D

Yes and no. I'm pretty short, myself, so "height" in my partner can mean anything above 1.70 meters. And I wouldn't even say that it would matter if he was shorter, but just great person. I don't think I would have problems with that.
But if this is just about "looking", then yes, I would slightly prefer looking at guys (or girls) who are taller than me. Or the same height.

Hight matters. I probably wouldn't hook up with a girl if she was a head taller than me. Similarily, I doubt I'd fancy a guy who was much lower than me. I prefer girls to be shorter & guys to be at least my own hight, but there's been execptions.

5'0 and above for me. I'm 6'4" and its hard enough finding a girl near my height thats single..well its hard because I'm not really looks atm. But frankly I dont have any serious height restrictions. It doesnt matter to me.

I'd rather my guy be taller than me.

Shorter, and she has to routinely make use of her tiny inconsequential fists.

I'm freakishly tall, so I would prefer my girl to not be even taller than that ;)

LOL :p That has to be one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

I live to please... *makes the Clinton open hands of honesty gesture*

Its all about midget love.

Well I'm quite short 5ft 3''. I wouldn't really like to go out with a guy who is smaller than me. Its one of the few things I am picky about. Usually personality works for me.

I really don't mind, if she's hot. :D (But short girls are cute)

Personality is everything. The rest is a side matter. Well, except for overly thin. Have to admit that is one physical thing which I just have a terrible time getting past. Seeing the ribcage other then on an xray just doesnt seem normal to me (understanding some have medical issues, and when talking about some they really cant get enough food, but to do it on purpose :( )

I'm a tall girl... 5'11 1/2" ... So I don't care if my guys are shorter than me.. I think I've been taller than all but one of my boyfriends... It's usually a problem of theirs not mine.

So what if I can reach the can of beans on the top shelf and they can't?

And tall girls are...?

I'm gonna be all shallow now, personality of course is the most important thing but ive never dated a guy who's shorter than me, it just feels weird, that said, i also havn't dated a guy who's really tall (like over 6') cause that just feels weird too, so yeah, i like guys to be not too tall but taller than me, which isn't exactly difficult, i just had to measure myself for a uni health form and i'm only 5'2", and if the right guy were to come along i'd probably settle for him being shorter than me if i had to

Exact same height as me! :fluffle: :D

(Meaning, i'm not shorter than you, so you'd no longer feel "weird" dating me :D )

I'm abuot 6'2", i dont look for girls that are smaller then me, but ive never fallen for someone whos taller.

And tall girls are...?
Awesome? :D

lol, no, but i wouldn't be able to wear heels

I can always stand on a stool so you'd HAVE to wear heels? :D

Lol, that too.

Though I prefer girls as tall a sme, it really doesn't matter

Awesome? :D
Then I am Very very awesome.

Sounds like fun! :D

There are things that taller women can do that are impractical with a shorter girl. The reverse is also true! My last girlfriend was about 6' 2" but I married my 5' 2" wife so trust me they are both VERY GOOD. Now if only I lived in one of those multi-wives countries, eh! LOL! Ow, my wife just hit me! Though she and my last girl HATE eachother!
:sniper: :fluffle: :p ;) ;) ;)

Well LUV, long time no talk, you are a perfect height - matches my wifes height- and I am only 5' 10" so come on and luv me! So long as papa Forrest approves!
;) :D :fluffle: :D ;)

Didn't your wife just hit your for approving multi-wife marriages? :p

papa Forrest would never approve so just don't tell him :p :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

And tall girls are...?
Also fun. :p As I said, ultimately it doesn't matter.

I'm 6', so i'd be intimidated by any woman taller than me...

Same height or shorter is OK. About 170-175cm is a happy middle.

wuss :p

as long as they have tits and ass, who cares about the height

Shorter, and she has to routinely make use of her tiny inconsequential fists.
I know why you really want tiny fists. ;)

6'2" and i dont mind.

It just makes it easier for her to aim lower than you realize? Or would it be inconsequential even then? ;)

Brilliant! :D

And I don't care how tall a girl is; if she likes me, she can be as freakishly tall or disturbingly small as she likes.

i like all the ladies :) but id rather she be shorter than me...(im 6'2)...

So, how you doin'? ;)

I prefer they also have a vagina, personally.

No midgets, no giants.

that's so typical Mr Picky! :rolleyes:

I'm sorry. Are you lacking in this requirement of mine?

I have a fetish for midget ladies

how short ARE you?

height is an asset. it keeps you on more women's "lists" than short me get to be on. but its only an asset. almost any woman, no matter how "heightist", can be won over by a man with other more important assets

the local lothario here in town is a man whose knickname is "shorty". he cant be 5'5" tall but he's had pretty much every available woman in town. (thank god im not available)

I'm sorry. Are you lacking in this requirement of mine?
of course, i can't be as fussy as you, i take whatever i can get

I don't really care, but I do prefer the short girls.

I think I should move to Huntington Park, where (allegedly) all the girls are like under 5'.

Short mexican girls. <33

I'm 5'11".

i'de prefer them about the same height or taller(wich is not that hard considering i'm 5"5) but if it was a really great guy, i wouldn't care if he was shorter

Being a heterosexual 6'3 15-year-old female, I've learned that height really doesn't matter.

Height always matters. Some people may be able to see past it, but it will still matter.

Case in point; I know a beautiful girl with a great, fun personality who can't get any dates at all because she is over six feet tall.

"I know a beautiful girl with a great, fun personality who can't get any dates at all because she is over six feet tall."

Aww, how sweet, you think I'm beautiful, great, and fun! Haha, just joking.

Height always matters. Some people may be able to see past it, but it will still matter.

it does, yeah. i mean, i don't want to have to kneel down to kiss my boyfriend nor do i want to have to get a stool to reach up to him

I don't focus on height, since to me it doesn't really matter when compared to hawtness(hey, I'm a guy. Allow me to act like one. :p) and personality.

Of course, it'd be nice that they be my height or shorter, but that's almost impossible, cause I'm a 5'2" 15 year old male.

However, unless the girl is ridiculously tall, I don't care. If you're hawt and have a great personality, I'm coming to get you. ;) (No. Not THAT way... not yet. Sick heads. =P)

Wouldn't care, as long she's not way shorter or way taller. Although I'd probably slightly prefer shorter if I had to choose.

At 6'0" its safe to say MOST women are shorter than me. Which is fine by me, as someone else said, some things work better that way heh.

I'm not sure that a tall girl would bother me though, never tried it yet.... any of you height effecient ladies wanna run a test? ;)

I'm single but not looking... My personal preference is that she be smaller than I (which isn't too hard to accomplish, I'm rather tall compared to most people I meet).

Even though you said single; my wife is 6' 2'' and I am 5' 10-11''

Height isn't an issue for me.

I think breathing and legal are the requirements for me. :p

I'm shorter. :p Not by much, but still.

We short people shall rule the world. http://67.18.37.16/1381/85/emo/banana.gif

Both of those are negotiable for me. Willing and possessed of female genitalia will do it for me.

Real guys would find a way to get them beans without your help & then tell you "neener - neener" in demonstration of their manlyness.
Yet it is not about fetching beans. It's about fetching beer.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

I like them taller, but then I like to find myself in some way above them (standing while they sit, higher up on stairs, or some such thing) so as to bend down to kiss them.

Oh, what would I do without you? :fluffle:

Well if I meet someone who is SO awesome an personality (and is smoking hot preferably) that i can hardly stand it, then I don't really care how tall they are but I'm not into girls who are rediculously short or tall. I rather like the idea of someone about my height or if not, just a bit shorter (not a whole lot of girls where I live that are taller than 5'10" anyway, so it doesnt matter much)

Oh, what would I do without you? :fluffle:

You'd probably have to find someone else to do your bidding with complete and blind loyalty.

im taller than every girl i know. so it doesnt really matter to me. my last girlfriend was like just up to my chest lol :D

it'd be nice if he was my height or taller, but seen as i'm 6'0'', that excludes too many guys... so even though i'd love for my boy to be taller than me, so far i've never managed to be with one who actually was...
...though maybe that's exactly the reason why none of my previous relationships lasted ;)
