How important is height to you in a relationship?

[Dingo Jellybean]

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.

From the relationships I've had so far, none of the girls have been taller than about 5'3. I don't think this is coincidence either, I just seem to have an larger affinity for smaller than average people.
I certainly wouldn't say height mattered to a relationship, but I think some people probably have subconscious preferences when it comes to this.

Height doesn't matter to me.

Length doesn't matter, it's what you do with it!
Oh, wait. We're talking about height here? Yeah, I knew that. :riiight:

Seriously though, I remember an ex-girlfriend of mine. She must have been about 6ft, so, as you can see, she was a very tall for her gender. I remember we went to a school dance together, and we got a lot of strange looks because of it, me being about 5'6" or 7" and all. It may have looked a little strange to people, but it didn't bother me or her in the slightest.

So, my answer to the question is nope. Height does not matter to me at all!

I like small girls. 5'3" (160 cm) is about the limit.

[krissy]

don't care

[boris no no]

i wouldn't really want to date a guy shorter then me....i like guys to be taller then me, above 6 foot!

[Cless]

I really do expect most of the females will have a "wouldn't like to date if shorter than me" thingy goin' on.

I would really prefer a guy to be taller than me, but as I'm 5 feet tall, that really is easy. I'd say about 5'6" and up is ideal for me, but I'd I think there are MANY things more important than height in a relationships.

While height isn't something I think about, I'd feel weird if the girl was taller than me. It's rare that a girl is taller than me, though.

[Spuuky]

I can only tolerate short, thin girls.

hey that's me. ^^ ~5'10" is a good height, 5'6" is a bit short though. And yeah, there are more important things, like <s>length</s> personality.

[Xander]

It's not really important but I'd rather a guy was a bit taller than me at least. My mum is way taller than my dad though. xD

[Madonna]

My girlfriend is taller than me. We joke about it.

[Chibi Angel]

Meh I don't care about height in the least, the guys I've liked are all differant sizes.
