How important is height to you in a relationship?

I'm 6 feet tall, so I rarely have to worry about girls being taller than me. Height isn't that important to me, but if I had to pick an ideal height for a girl, I'd say somewhere between 5'4" and 5'7" would be nice.

[Ouch!]

I almost went out with a girl who was 6'1". I was, hmm, maybe 5'10" at the time. Height has never really bothered me, but I have found that most of the few girls I've gone out with were 5'4" and under. I don't think it's an actual preference, though.

I do take pride in my height though. I like walking down the halls in school and seeing the top of almost everyone's head.

<i>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.</i> - Dingo

In my opinion, this statement is very silly, unless you're a very shallow female. I found height to be one of the least important things in a relationship and I also wouldn't drool over someone who looks like Brad Pitt or choose them just because they had a prettier face. Both of those are pretty sad prerequisits for choosing someone...unless you are a very shallow person that is.

I absolutely agree.

Height matters very little to me and I don't find physical appearance in general to be all that important in a relationship. Maybe it's the people I hang out with, but most of my friends would never discriminate against a guy or girl because of their height.

I've dated a guy who was an inch shorter than me because he had an amazing personality. Height is a non-issue. People will have their standards. Only guys with blue eyes, only girls who are a size 2, and on and on.

But when you meet someone fantastic, most of those physical requisites fly out the window.

Unless of course, as Leeza said, you're a very shallow person.

My boyfriend is 8-10" taller than me. I don't care, and he doesn't care, but he does tease me when I have to climb on things to reach other things.

I'm 6' 3", so any girl is usually small enough where I stop keeping track. I joke about my 5' 8" girlfriend being short. So, really, at this point it doesn't matter.

I'd actually prefer a mate taller than me. Is that so wrong?

[ffrinoa8]

considering the fact that i'm short any guy taller than me!!!me 5' 1"

[Denmark]

I don't care. I've liked girls that are 5'1" or even shorter. o_O (I'm 6'2")

I've always said that I prefer tall guys, and probably wouldn't date a "short" guy, but all of my boyfriends have been very close to me in height (I'm 5'3), so I've found it doesn't really matter to me. However, when I think abuot it, I still "prefer" taller guys. 6'0 and bit below, is a pretty good area.

There, of course, many, many more important things than this. It falls under the appearance category, which ultimately means nothing, after a certain point in time.

appearence means nothing to me

I'm about 5'6", and my girlfriend is about 5'2", and I think that's a reasonable difference (I suppose I am a bit biased though :P).
Really, if I had to pick, pretty close to my own height would be my choice - I like eye contact, and I know what it's like to be staring at people's stomachs.

Height doesn't matter to me.

I tend to feel somewhat intimidated by girls who are taller than me, but if they're willing I'll date them, I don't mind.

[-N-]

Dealing with someone significantly shorter can result in a lot of back problems. Being 6'4", I can definitely say it's not pleasant. But I can't go for the 2" shorter thing, because, well, I don't see any 6'2" girls except the WNBA, and well, let's just say they're out of my league.
