I had this discussion with classmates the other day and it was pretty interesting. From a guy's point of view, they want an ideal girl that's about 2" shorter than them...from a girl's point of view, they want a guy about 5" taller than them...which is not surprising considering most couples at my university vary by about 4-6" in height, so I guess the girls win out.

I never found height to be a requirement or preference, just as long as she's not taller than me or too too too short, I never cared. My only gf was 5'6". I also never believed height was attractive either. Maybe girls view it more, but guys don't really care AFAIK. I mean say Brad Pitt was 5'6", if you showed his photo to girls they'd drool. Say you take a good looking guy(but not as good looking as Brad Pitt) and he was 6'. If they saw the good-looking guy, they'd prefer Pitt. In person, they'd probably take the taller good-looking guy over Pitt...just because he's taller.

There aren't many couples where the female is taller than the guy, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as to why height matters so much more to women than men. For guys, they just look for a cute body and face and hope to be her mate. Women are probably a bit more selective even if they find a cute guy with a good body.

Discuss...bitch.
