From a woman's perspective, I agree with this article. I prefer men who are taller than me, but then, it's pretty hard to find someone shorter than me :p

What do you think?

What do you think?

I don't really give a damn about men's height.

But most of my friends are women and they tend to like men who are approximately between six inches and a foot taller than they are.

... Cool. *hopes it's accurate*

Lol, I'm guessing you're tall? :p

It's not about the size, it's about how men carry themselves when they stand erect...





So don't slouch!

Quite. And slouching is hard on your back anyway.

I'm screwed.


Or rather, not.:(

It's not about the size, it's about how men carry themselves when they stand erect...

:eek: lol

What's your length anyway?

I thought it was widely known that most women like a man, as someone said earlier, between 6 inches and a foot taller than themselves. This has been known for quite some time.

Unfortunately doesnt work for me.:(

Tall, yet still single.

Probably a mixture of personality and the fact I look a bit like a rake...

As a tall person, I'd be kinda embarrassed to go around with a woman under 5'8 or so.. It'd just be awkward..

A strictly academic concern in my case, but still. :p

What's your length anyway?

You're not talking to me, right? :p

You're not talking to me, right? :p

Who Dot Else? D'uh!

1. i like high heels :D

2. i liked ths bit

Personal experience suggested women wanted smaller, more compact men with earrings in their left ear and salsa--dancing skills: not guys who bump their heads on doorways and sing Sinatra.

:p

that is all. (stupid dancing... grrr)

What's your length anyway?
:eek:

1. i like high heels :D
:eek: :eek:

:eek: :eek:
what? i do! they're awesome... well, not them themselves, but more just... legs ;)


but on topic, i'm 177cm (average), and i like girls shorter than me - which is, thankfully, generally the case (with big heels or not... gets pretty close with amy though :p)

Who Dot Else? D'uh!

Well, er, I'm female.

But I'm 5'4" :)

Well, er, I'm female.

*shakes head*

Hmm.. I think I'm taller - but then again, I'm no girl.

6 ft flat.

Feet look flat too.

If I had grown another inch, I would never have been allowed to serve in an Armoured unit.

Lol, it's not hard to be taller :p

Yes, well, tall folks do have their difficulties. The ceilings of basements tend to be particularly hazardous, and stretching one's arms in a room with ceiling fans gets quite painful.

The only qualification for men attending is that they must be more than 183cm – women of any height can come.

I must be short; i'm only 182cm.

It isn't easy being green. :D

That's not what I meant though, I meant, at 5'4", most people are taller than you :)

You're lucky.. that actually threw a significant monkeywrench into my plans after High School.. :(

Oh I don't know, sounds tall to me :p

Tell me about it, and I'm only 6'4. *still have a few years of growing thank God*

I must be short; i'm only 182cm.
... erm... Fraking metric.
EDIT:I'm 191. Yay.

Oh I don't know, sounds tall to me :p

Well, then. It's good enough I guess :p

what? i do! they're awesome... well, not them themselves, but more just... legs ;)
Just didn't expect such a response from you. From Glitziness maybe, but not from you. :p

Hehe. True. But 5'4" is a good height for a woman. :)

5'11", I think.

*ego grows three sizes*

That sucks considering I'm taller than a lot of girls, but I'm actually attracted to girls greater than or equal to my height. Quite a predicament non?

I'm not attracted too much to smaller girls, and more than likely taller girls, who I am attracted to, aren't attracted to me.

By the way, yes I am male.

;) Depends on what you and/or I have in mind..

Oh, was that an offer? (:eek:) :P

I prefer short girls to tall girls. Hmm, just nicer to hug and whatnot.

Only that it's not something you (want to) randomly jump into. The closest to 100% effective form of contraception is after all abstinence.

From a woman's perspective, I agree with this article. I prefer men who are taller than me, but then, it's pretty hard to find someone shorter than me :p

What do you think?
I honestly have never really thought about the height thing, because I have yet to meet a man who is shorter than I.

True.
*holds hands up in semi-despair*
If I had grown another inch, I would never have been allowed to serve in an Armoured unit.

You're lucky they have a height limit. Try being 6'3 and loading the TOW rounds in a Bradley up from the back hatch.

Apparently, it does.


What do you think?

My wife is 6'2'' and I am 5'10'' Height is ok but in the end its all about confidence. Her height means nothing to me and well I won't take this to a dirty level ;)

>.>

<.<

Ok... Apologies, I don't follow the whole celebrity thing too closely :)

:fluffle:

True, it is a rare day when I do not enjoy a good fluffle :p

I see... :fluffle:

Ok, maybe it's not a good thing when I make a post with the intent of using the fluffle smilie rather than serious commentary.

Oh wait... this is NS General. Carry on, carry on.

As a tall person, I'd be kinda embarrassed to go around with a woman under 5'8 or so.. It'd just be awkward..

A strictly academic concern in my case, but still. :p
THere's nothing wrong with a 'throwabout', as petite women may be called (though not when they're within earshot).
But then, I don't have much choice but to go for tiny women. Here, the average height is around 160- 165cm (5'3" - 5'5") and <110lb (most are under 100). One teacher at my school weighs 80lbs!! She actually looks pretty healthy despite this (she'd be 5' at most). Unlike another one who is slightly taller and slightly heavier but you can see her veins crawling up her arms like blue spaghetti. *chudder* (that's a cross between a shudder and a chunder)


One of the more disturbing ads I've seen on TV here was for a weight-loss centre. It showed a very average-sized woman (imo, just right-sized) standing on a set of scales, which swung round to the horrendous figure of 61kgs (135lbs)!
OMG! HOW DISGUSTING!
To really push how 'fat' this woman was, they then showed an elephant with fat legs.
Thankfully for this blob of a woman, the fat clinic was able to get her down to a more attractive and manageable 105lb. And all for only blahblahblah...


For me, it's not height that's the problem, it's my weight (well, that and my morbid sense of humour and my multitude of various and varied annoying habits). I weigh 235lbs, and the locals can't understand that such a thing is possible. So they all think of me as being extremely fat. This despite me having around 10 - 12% bodyfat. Doesn't matter - If I weigh that much, I MUST BE FAT.
It's amazing - I've had so many women here say that to me. Yet I'd have less actual total fat than most men 100lbs lighter than me.
Does get to me sometimes. I can really empathise with women over fat comments.

What do you think?Must admit, girls that are taller than me freak me out. Luckily, there aren't that many women above 6 feet that I meet.

I prefer a woman taller than me... its hawt. :cool:

*pokes thread*

*pokes thread*
My God! There are serious posts on this page! :eek:

I don't really give a damn about men's height.

But most of my friends are women and they tend to like men who are approximately between six inches and a foot taller than they are.
That much taller than me would irritate me. I am a guy true, but I also like slightly taller guys- that means 3 inches top. Even as a woman, I'd wear heels if a guy was taller than me so I could be taller.

That is insanely thin. An average woman is 5ft5- 5ft7 and around 140 lbs, varying in different areas. Anything beneath 100 lbs is ludicrously thin (they call 130 lbs FAT? :eek: ). Can't wait for women to grow taller and taller...and get over this dumb skeletal obsession they have.

(that's a cross between a shudder and a chunder)What's a chunder?

I weigh 235lbs, and the locals can't understand that such a thing is possible. So they all think of me as being extremely fat. This despite me having around 10 - 12% bodyfat.Oh, sounds lovely.

My bf is about my height (if perhaps a touch shorter) I don't mind it, it's a little odd wearing heels around him, but then sometimes it's fun to tease him about how I get to tower over him and I don't particularly care for heels anyways.

It does make some things easier though...

And it's not that he's short (though he's a bit shorter than average for men), I'm somewhat tall for a woman.

Apparently, it does.

From a woman's perspective, I agree with this article. I prefer men who are taller than me, but then, it's pretty hard to find someone shorter than me :p

What do you think?
All the more reason for me to be fucking bitter about the single life. :gundge:

*Leans over and pats him on the head*

There there little guy! :p

.
And it's not that he's short (though he's a bit shorter than average for men), I'm somewhat tall for a woman.
I'm guessing around 5ft8?

I am 5'8 or 5'9 and my gf is 5'4 and she hasn't said anything. Then again I'm not that short, but I am a little bit below average.

“Being a tall woman in dating is a bit like being a short guy,” he says. “Because, on average, men are taller than women, it fits the norm for women to want a man who’s taller than them, and men to want a woman who’s shorter than them.”

This is exactly my problem. I'm a lovely but rather tall girl, and I am still pining over the pale, freckled, lanky guy I dated in high school. He thought he was a freak, but I loved it. Think of Conan O'Brian. That is my dream guy.

...as for high heels, yeah right. Looking fabulous in thousand-dollar shoes doesn't compensate for being so tall that people don't even notice your face and lean against you as if you were a support beam. Which would be a fairly dangerous thing to do, as I'd already be unsteady from standing on heels that look like no. 2 pencils.

*Leans over and pats him on the head*

There there little guy! :p
Quiet you. :p

*wonders if it applies to TC*

:D

I enjoy women of all sizes, generally. Course, some just don't look like they should be that tall...

:fluffle:
I see... :fluffle:

Ok, maybe it's not a good thing when I make a post with the intent of using the fluffle smilie rather than serious commentary.

Oh wait... this is NS General. Carry on, carry on.

Oh hello, you came back :fluffle:

lol

THere's nothing wrong with a 'throwabout', as petite women may be called (though not when they're within earshot).
But then, I don't have much choice but to go for tiny women. Here, the average height is around 160- 165cm (5'3" - 5'5") and <110lb (most are under 100). One teacher at my school weighs 80lbs!! She actually looks pretty healthy despite this (she'd be 5' at most). Unlike another one who is slightly taller and slightly heavier but you can see her veins crawling up her arms like blue spaghetti. *chudder* (that's a cross between a shudder and a chunder)


One of the more disturbing ads I've seen on TV here was for a weight-loss centre. It showed a very average-sized woman (imo, just right-sized) standing on a set of scales, which swung round to the horrendous figure of 61kgs (135lbs)!
OMG! HOW DISGUSTING!
To really push how 'fat' this woman was, they then showed an elephant with fat legs.
Thankfully for this blob of a woman, the fat clinic was able to get her down to a more attractive and manageable 105lb. And all for only blahblahblah...


For me, it's not height that's the problem, it's my weight (well, that and my morbid sense of humour and my multitude of various and varied annoying habits). I weigh 235lbs, and the locals can't understand that such a thing is possible. So they all think of me as being extremely fat. This despite me having around 10 - 12% bodyfat. Doesn't matter - If I weigh that much, I MUST BE FAT.
It's amazing - I've had so many women here say that to me. Yet I'd have less actual total fat than most men 100lbs lighter than me.
Does get to me sometimes. I can really empathise with women over fat comments.

Remind me not to go where ever you are! :eek:

And it's not that he's short (though he's a bit shorter than average for men), I'm somewhat tall for a woman.

The boy who took me to my Deb was the same height as me (but he's very short for the average man, as I'm not exactly tall).

It was a nightmare trying to find heels without too much heel :p

I do like a guy who is taller than me, but he doesn't have to be that much taller. I'm only 5'4 so i don't need a guy who is 6'2 or something. 5'5 or 5'6 or something would be fine. That being said, i would never refuse to date a guy just because he was shorter than me, or the same height. There are many things much more important than that.

Have I been abandoned then? :eek:

Yep, it does matter. i really don't want to go out with a guy who's shorter than me. Then again, there are rarely any guys shorter than me.

teehee, it's kind of sad we can't really make an impression with our height, isn't it? I guess what's why heels were invented. (even though last time I went shoe shopping, I couldn't even stand stably in one of those new high-heel shoes.:()

teehee, I'm trying to come up with new ways of intimidating my best friend's boyfriend, since I'm going to meet him in a couple of months. (they live in another city.) I'm thinking of giving him the "don't you dare hurt her" warning sometime. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I refuse to put myself through the masochistic pain of wearing high heels. In fact, I don't even like shoes. Bare feet in forests FTW!

Hehe, I think the fact that you are her best friend is intimidating enough :p
He'll feel the need to impress you, for sure. :p

But you could throw in the warning too, for good measure :D

Bare feet is good, but potentially painful :s

My little sister is 4'11''. :) oh and she's an adult fyi.
Heh, when considering a couple girls to go to a dance with, my friend recomended the shorter one (5'0'') because we looked better together. Shorter seems to be better, mostly because i've grown up around shorter girls, but i don't think it would stop me from dating or marrying a girl my size or taller.

teehee. I think he's already afraid of me. But adding a bit of salt to that would be even more fun. *plots*

Well, as long as you are walking on grass/dirt, it doesn't hurt. But gravel roads? *ouch*

One of my bestfriend's boyfriends was so scared that he had to make an impression on me, he couldn't think of anything to say to me :p

I stepped on a thumb tack once :s Even though I was wearing shoes.... *ouch* :(

I shall. :D I don't know. He doesn't hit me as the "must make impression" type. I'm sure I won't scared him THAT much. Well, if he did, at least he'd have the sense to run away. :p

You've walked bare feet on broken glass? OUCHIE!!!! I used to put thumb tacks into the bottoms of my shoes so that they would make funny noises....

I don't think I'll be quite 6'5" (about 196cm), but I'll be around 6'3" when I'm done growing (191cm).

Of course, my "chances" are already good, since I look better than so-called "hot" actors (Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt...). If someone is attracted to me only because of my looks and size, well... Screw them.

Eh, they aren't as bad as they sound. Besides, most who step on broken glass doesn't even get cut. Besides, broken glass are never in wildlife santruaries.

Thumbtack in foot, eh? That's weak.

I stepped on a nail when I was 8. Went right through the bottom of my foot, it did. Strange thing is, there was no blood, and it really didn't hurt. It was just really weird.

I'm a guy and I'm only 5'4-5". Which sucks because most people are taller than me. So I guess this means I can only date drawfs or midgets.

I have on occasion. For example, there was a fantastic-looking Russian girl at my high school who was a bit taller than I was.

You're lucky they have a height limit. Try being 6'3 and loading the TOW rounds in a Bradley up from the back hatch.

AMX10 thingie for me - and HOT-rounds, as I recall.
It has been a while.

As long as it's over 5 inches and has decent girth.. I can certainly make it work.

Day later update. It was a joke.. a bad joke. hehe

As long as it's over 5 inches and has decent girth.. I can certainly make it work.

Uh-huh... you are a midget?
Everyone else around here is at least 5 ft 4 inches... including the girls.

Haha. I'm about 5'4 too. You know what I meant. *grins*

And I am female.

I am 5'9" tall and I dont mind what height the guy is unless it matters to him. Some guys just dont like to be shorter than their date others dont mind.

Personally Though if it were a perfect world they would be less than 6inches taller than me and definatley not a full 12 inches.

and as a side note ... kissing is easier with approximately the same height people.

and as a side note ... kissing is easier with approximately the same height people.

Hmmm. Never noticed that, but that's probably because I haven't kissed a woman of the same height as I am. I'll have to test that sometime.

Hmmm. Never noticed that, but that's probably because I haven't kissed a woman of the same height as I am. I'll have to test that sometime.

Likewise, I've never kissed anyone of my own height, but my suspicion is that it is easier to kiss someone of a different height when you are the shorter one :D

hmmm, im 6,2 so id generally prefer tall women to shorter ones, although not much taller than me probably 5,11- 6,2.

Remind me not to go where ever you are! :eek:
Hong Kong. It's not that bad. You get used to small petite women. Thing is, the locals, being Cantonese, are very small boned, narrow-hipped and generally have shortish legs. So they can get away with weighing 100lbs and not look anorexic.
Plus, this being Hong Kong, they mostly all obsessed with looking good and being in the latest fashions.
Did you know they have woman clothes in size 'zero'? My ex (a local HK'er), who was average-sized by local standards wore size zero. In America size ten is meant to be the ideal, isn't it? With size eight viewed as slim.

My biggest worry is that it's making me view this size as normal, so when I move back to NZ, I'm going to look on the typical healthy, Kiwi woman with strong bones that comes from outdoor activity and lots of milk as huge and fat.

What's a chunder?
Aussie for a puke.

Apparently, it does.

That's true. And I believe that it is indeed easier to kiss someone of a different height when you are the shorter one. However, I also believe that it is easier to initiate a kiss if you are the taller one.

So... What to choose, what to choose...

Hmm, methinks that it's better to be the shorter one... You spend less time initiating than you do kissing, so being shorter means more comfort for a longer time ;)...

Unless you're both sitting, in which case being shorter or taller is pretty much negated.. :)

Any other thoughts? :)
