hey everyone.


I was wondering what you all think of the issue of height between men and women. More the difference if the woman is taller than the man. WOuld that bother you? I know it sounds silly, but I am honestly curious. My best guy friend really cares about me, but whenever I mention anything possibly happening between him and I to some of my girl friends, the only thing they remark on is our height difference.

So! I'm not asking for advice really, but I was just curious if you've ever had a similar situation of liking someone or being liked by someone shorter and has that ever been an issue to you, or am I the only person that thinks its kinda silly.

Who is taller you or him? I always thought height wasn't a big issue, if I was taller than the girl, or if she was taller by an inch or so. I do think its kinda weird if a really short guy is with a really tall girl. It just looks weird.

You say it looks weird...but my question is why? I mean...nowhere is it written that the man must be taller lol. I think it's just something abnormal and different, and it isn't what most people choose so it seems strange when it occurs.

I'm not sure. I guess partly is because generally men are taller and bigger than women, and when you see something different, it just looks weird. I don't think it's weird in a bad way, just different. If that makes sense?

What's weird is that people make an issue of it, men are usually taller so people just come to see that as the way it ought to be which is silly because height and love are two things beyond our control so to say it's weird for a short guy and tall girl to be together leaves me baffled....on a visual level it may look a little unusual but so what?!?!?

If I were you Mands I'd file this away under the heading 'some things are just ridiculous but never seem to go away'.....and just forget about it.

I have a rule, if he wears a smaller shoe size than me, weighs the same or less than i do, or is more than two inches shorter than me. Its an automatic no. For me its important that the guy be bigger and taller than me. For everyone its different though. For some women it doesnt bother them some it does. If you like this guy who gives a flip about height.

Huge issue.

A girl would have to be at least 4 inches shorter than me for me to find it acceptable. I can't tolerate tall women.

Like Sharp said -- the height thing is important. She needs to be close to the optimal head/chest hug height. I think that's about 5 or 6 in shorter than my height.

On a separate flame-worthy note, it's funny how it's perfectly acceptable for girls to reject a guy because he's short (like with Mands' friend), but it's shallow if a guy rejects a girl because she's fat.

You know what.

Its even worse to reject a guy because of his height than rejecting a girl because of her weight.

Reason being - height doesn't change. Fatness can be changed.

Meh, I honestly wasn't a shorter girl. Since I'm not really that tall (like just under 5'10" I think), then I'd really like a girl in the 5'2" - 5'"4" range, though I'd prolly go another 2 inches out of that range just to give myself more options. As tall as me MIGHT be acceptable, and taller than me is just unattractive =/

You are in luck. Studies have shown that women in relationships with shorter men are happier than those with taller men. I think it has something to do with shorter men not feeling like they "own" their women. When it comes to working things out, they see more eye-to-eye with the woman, whereas taller men feel that they are naturally superior and therefore are not as willing to bend to her will (no pun intended).

That's correct.

I do want to own my wife, just like the bible says.

And you're right, imagine arguing with your wife when she's taller than you. Imagine looking up at her and saying no, this is how we're going to do it. I'd be thinking please don't hit me.
