Do most short girls like guys about the same height or they don't mind tall guys? My friend is short, but when we talk I just see her as my friend and I forget about her height.

But I look really tall standing next to her.

You're both 6'5 as well? That's cool. I had my growth spurt really late. I only started growing when I was 17.5 years old.


I'm only 5'6 ½ "



Too bad I stopped growing at age 14. I'm at the same height as I was back then but actually weigh less today.

Alas, women took no interest in me so I never married and rarely dated.

I am 5'9" and while I am generally satisfied with my physical appearance, I sometimes wished I was a few inches taller. And maybe a somewhat thicker bone structure.
You and I stopped growing at the same age. At 14 I was one of the tallest guys in my class, by the time I was 18, I was about average height

BTW, my mixed martial arts teacher of 5 years, John, was your height, and I saw guys that were 6 feet 5 inches tall and about 230 pounds who backed down from him. Not kidding, I saw it with my own eyes on the Jesrey Shore.

^ Nice stories.


In my youth I played baseball with some excellent players one of whom later played MLB for many years. As kids we were the same size and I was his captain. Had I continued to grow in size and strength, I could well have been a major leaguer. Just imagine how many girl friends I would have had!

Height isn't everything. It's just a number and it makes life a little more difficult eg. flying is a pain in the butt. As for women, they don't take much interest in me either. At least not offline, they don't. Not that I'm any different online.

From a short girl's perspective: I'm 5'2" so my reaction to finding a guy shorter than me is usually surprise, since I've rarely seen a guy close to my age who is shorter. But so what??? I've never really understood the height issue. To me, it's like saying "would you not date a guy that has dark hair?" what does it matter? Actually, being rather well-built, it MIGHT bother me if the guy weighed less than I did, but I think I could get over it :D

I'm 4'10'' and no I wouldn't want to date a guy shorter than me. I stopped growing when I was 12. I still wish I was about 5'5'' that's tall to me lol. I wouldn't mind a guy being 5'6'' lol.

Maybe it's your politics? Girls dig conservative types :)

Being a political moderate (I was banned from a liberal website that will not be mentioned here) I should have had sweethearts from both sides of the political aisle. But yes, you are correct that most gals seem to prefer guys from the right side.

I can honestly say that Id be 110% fine with being with a girl that were taller than me : p

(If she had a good heart and I liked her I mean)

Im somewhat short for a male. Im about 5 feet seven inches. I also have small hands and feet : p My last pair of shoes were a size 9 US : p Im not real big : p
