How short is too short for a man to be sexy?!

[MistyT]

Posting a poll to see how the ladies feel about this subject! Much debate over on the Misc. about the topic!

[guest89]

I'm not going to vote cause I'm a man but I'm curious to see the results... Sadly I'm guessin the majority of those votes are men. So females, make a post and tell us what you think!

[Richie_Awesome]

Oh ****, I voted lol(strong no homo)

6'4! That is almost a foot and a half taller than me! Way to go for voting for all the options!


Personally, I think all men can be sexy, I just tend to gravitate towards the taller ones!

[RImuscle]

I tend to really love the tall guys 6' + but I did fall for a guy recently that was only 5'5" , so in the long run personality goes along way.

Are you single? :cool: ahahaha, a lot of guys lie about their height on teh internets...it's serious business.

[Jon Harris]

Well, wouldn't the answer vary? Lets say all girls like tall guys (wink wink) then all they would really want is a guy taller than the girl. So "tall" to a 5'0" girl might be 5'10". Surely a 4'5" girl doesn't like her men to be 6'4"+.

I'm five foot and my ex was 6'6" :-)

Not nearly as bad as you girls...way too confusing.

[bttrthnb4]

Any height taller than me. LOL

[MistyT]

Not nearly as bad as you girls...way too confusing.

I don't think we are confusing. Men just need to learn to pay attention to detail and they would figure us out in a snap!

[MistyT]

Any height taller than me. LOL

I agree with you on that!

OT-but GREAT arms!

[bttrthnb4]

I agree with you on that!

OT-but GREAT arms!

Thank you! :D hehehe

[MistyT]

Thank you! :D hehehe

Anytime! Gives me something to aspire towards!

[Jon Harris]

wow. That is def. a foot and a half. As someone tall, I can't help to say that I like tall girls.

[goddessamazon]

Speaking from a Tall Woman's Point of View I have found that most men under 5'9" have higher self esteem and confidence then men over 6 feet.

So self esteem and confidence makes a man sexy IMO.

Hmm I find the opposite true. Maybe we need a man exchange program!

[pryme]

I'm just under 6' 2" and have blue eyes......so I just miss the 6' 2" eyes of blue jingle....DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant say about guys but I have seen girls from 4'10 to 6 foot and all were ok to me.

I did see a girl 6'3" once and it was a single date....to tall for me.

[Richie_Awesome]

I don't think we are confusing. Men just need to learn to pay attention to detail and they would figure us out in a snap!

Maybe you should give me some advice then lol. I think I pay too much attention to details and always get led on...sucks

Good point!

[MistyT]

PM me. I'll give ya all the advice you want!

[goddessamazon]

Hmm I find the opposite true. Maybe we need a man exchange program!

The reason I say this is because 90% of the tall men I know were too afraid to approach me or ask me out on a date. They were stricken with fear which resulted in low self esteem. This is due to society automatically giving them the "MAN" trophy due to their size so they are not use to challenges or facing situations that will build their confidence.

Shorter men have it hard and they spend most of their lives proving to society that they earn their "Man" trophy. Therefore, they obtain the self esteem and confidence that most tall men don't.

In my entire life the majority of men who asked me to dance, date or to dinner were under 5'10" and that's says a lot.

Just think what kind of courage it takes for a man 5'5" to ask me out.

[goddessamazon]

I'm just under 6' 2".................................I did see a girl 6'3" once and it was a single date....to tall for me.

thanks for proving my point. ;)

[MistyT]

I'm glad that this is proving to be quite an interesting conversation!

Yep I'm 5'1" and my hubby is 6'5"

super tall with glasses is sexiest of all IMO :)

[ballsoftitanium]

from what i've seen so far i get the impession that shorter women (below 5'3) prefer much taller men (6,2 and taller), i used to believe this was rather counter-intuitive but it makes sense when you think about it.

Smaller women need larger men to feel secure because as they get smaller their feeling of vulnerability grows, the smaller the female the larger the male she needs as her protector/mate.

I've had some luck with shorter women but over all i get the most looks from women who are my height or a tad taller.

Weird but i guess that's just the way it is.

[manlet]

As a man what I feel is any guy can be sexy (no homo), but a shorter guy needs to compensate for it in other ways. I read some article that said a 5'8 guy needs to have $130,000 more than a 6' guy if everything else was equal to be as attractive. Sure, Tom Cruise can get away with being 5'6 because he's good looking and rich. I also feel taller guys can get away with more **** ups also.

This is true, for me at least. I've never refused to date someone based on their height, but the tall guys have always appealed to me more. And not that I feel like I can't take care of myself, but I think most women like the feeling that they're protected, lol.

Not that short guys can't protect you either!

[pryme]

thanks for proving my point. ;)

I hardly proved your point lol.

Just because I was not attracted to a girl taller then me in no way says anything about confidence or self esteem issues.

That's smart. I'm a short guy and on a date if there ever was a situation I would push the girl to the bad guys be like "do whatever you want to her just dont hurt me" and run for my life.

[bttrthnb4]

That's smart. I'm a short guy and on a date if there ever was a situation I would push the girl to the bad guys be like "do whatever you want to her just dont hurt me" and run for my life.

I don't care.. I don't wanna die. There's plenty of other girls in the world, there's only one of me lol.

He is kidding obviously.lol

[bulletpr00f]

no love for 5'11" ???

[ceno]

woww...lol

I am 27 years old, all these years of dating, I have never ever had any problems because of my height....I showed this thread to my gf, she laughed her azz off...

hmm..so I need to have $130K more to compete with a 6' guy....LOL..ok

[bttrthnb4]

He is kidding obviously.lol

I kinda figured as much, hence the LMAO

[bttrthnb4]

I don't care.. I don't wanna die. There's plenty of other girls in the world, there's only one of me lol.

Thats why we go for the taller guys...alot more of them to go around than us!

[trojannation]

I'm 5'9", just sayin'

[MistyT]

no love for 5'11" ???

Yes, I usually find myself attracted to taller men, but I don't discriminate ;-) I like all men!

[goddessamazon]

I hardly proved your point lol.

Just because I was not attracted to a girl taller then me in no way says anything about confidence or self esteem issues.


So let me get this right. You went out on a date with a girl you found unattractive?

Yup! Sounds like you have A LOT of self confidence and high self esteem!

[manlet]

Yes, I usually find myself attracted to taller men, but I don't discriminate ;-) I like all men!

Wow strong contradiction :rolleyes:

I calls em like I sees em. :)

[MistyT]

Wow strong contradiction :rolleyes:

I calls em like I sees em. :)

I'm just saying. I can very easily find a man attractive that is 5 foot as well as someone who is 6 foot.

Men are men, regardless of age/race/height/etc. Some I find attractive, some I don't. i can't say height is the first thing I notice about a man, but I just notice that in most of my relationships that man has been on the taller side.

[manlet]

Thats why we go for the taller guys...alot more of them to go around than us!

I've noticed that too. Luckily Uncle Sam took care of that issue for me, lol!! I don't know that it's a self esteem issue as much as trying to stay camoflaged as to not draw attention to yourself. As the big guy, there's always someone who thinks they can take you in a fight or belittle you. You learn how to either a) avoid conflct as I mentioned above or b) beat the living piss out of the offender in hopes it will teach the others not to try to jack you up. You can only stay concealed for so long before you snap and mop the floor with some 5 foot nothing asshat. One of the kids that lived across the street from me got no less than 5 ass beating when we were growing up. He had some sort of Napoleon complex I think, lol!

yup. works this way for my little love too. i'm 6-1, she's 5-2 (hence, the name, 'little' love). whenever i wrap my arms around her, and hold her head close to my chest, whether it be from the front or behind, her first words are always, "i love this, it make me feel so safe and secure".

For me its the opposite, I'm 5'7 so most taller more aggressive argumentative guys think they can beat me or bully me.

Either way I've never had problems with self confidence or insecurity. And I've never had a problem earning respect.

[goddessamazon]

The best protector I ever had was a red headed Irishman who stood no taller than 5'8"

Now I am known to hold my own and not depending upon another man to fight for me or protect me but with him?......it was never a problem.

[ussjtrunks]

It's because irish guys are calm and dominant, usually we can talk our way out of situations with superior reasoning and when we can't, we either admit we're wrong, agree to disagree. If it comes to physical blows, the hardest punch ever measured was by a 5'7" 145lber in his last 30's.

Weird but i guess that's just the way it is.

My theory is that it's a regression to the mean- genetics over generations tend to regress to averages. 5'3 lady with a 6'2 man produces average height children.

what you said also makes sense. youre 5'7. translate male to female height by adding or subtracting 4.5". a slightly taller female, say 5'8 = a 6'.5 guy. 6'.5 + 5'7 / 2 = 5'9.75 male offspring, average height offspring. so, women your height or a tad bit taller will prefer males your height to produce average height children.

Well I would be angry if I lived in that armpit called Atlanta, one of the most violent cities in america, nice.

[goddessamazon]

Well I would be angry if I lived in that armpit called Atlanta, one of the most violent cities in america, nice.

Well of course YOU would be angry if you lived here in Atlanta. Men with low self esteem and confidence would be angry if they lived here. They would also show their level of intelligence by calling this city names like "armpit" and making extremely generalized statements like "one of the most violent cities in american".

It's obvious who's really the angry person here on this thread. Look in the mirror for the answer. LOL

I supose it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective to want your children to be "average" because averageness is usually associated with better health and increased longevity, people who are really tall or really short tend to have shorter lifespans than people who are of average (or close to average) stature.

[cassie121]

My main thing is they have to be taller then me . i'm 5 foot 6 so yeah. I've dated both extremes though. One of my exs was 5 foot 4 but another was 5 foot 11 (which when you consider we were 14 i guess is tall)

Are you saying Atlanta is not one of the most violent cities in america?

And how exactly is that a generalized statement?

It is a fact Atlanta ranks at the top ACROSS THE BOARD in crime.

It's under Detroit though lol

Are you trying to hijack this tread? I think you are.

If you want to debate the issue about Atlanta ranks in criminal activity then PM me but it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Remember this thread is called "How short is too short for a man to be sexy?!"

I know you're trying to find out how to push my buttons and it's not going to work. :)

You can talk badly about Atlanta all you want and you will never get a rise out of me but from now on do it via PM so that folks can get back on the subject at hand.

[bluescorpion]

Usually, I am most attracted to men of similar height. However, I once met a guy who ws 5'2" and over 200 lbs and was stunningly attractive.... I really don't care so much about height, as I think proportion is more important (of course, a winning personality is most important).

[bluescorpion]

Well, wouldn't the answer vary? Lets say all girls like tall guys (wink wink) then all they would really want is a guy taller than the girl. So "tall" to a 5'0" girl might be 5'10". Surely a 4'5" girl doesn't like her men to be 6'4"+.

Actually, as far as "heightism" goes, I think often the shortest women want the tallest men. Go figure. I know a woman who is 4'2"and will only date tall men ("tall" to her is 6'2"+).

[JerrysGirl]

Well, I am 5'11.
Preferably taller than 6'.

[lulublue]

I dont care about height
been out with guys taller much much taller and similar height to me (5'4")

Never dated a guy shorter than me but then i don't think i've met any either!

nah its all about the person inside we all know that :D

Personally, I think all men can be sexy, I just tend to gravitate towards the taller ones!

At a whopping 5'0" that wouldn't take much

[MistyT]

At a whopping 5'0" that wouldn't take much

Very true! Haha!

[lulublue]

Its good to see that there is actually a pretty good spread over all the different heights which shows a huge diversity in women's tastes (not surprising)

Including my vote which was that all men are sexy :D

looks like theres someone out there for all of us

I totally agree with you that us women have a nice diverse liking in the men department. I also agree that yes, all men are sexy!

[smdiskin]

Self confidence (not arrogance) and self esteem as well as being attentive and generally fun/interesting to be with are most important...
Can't imagine beign with someone over 6 foot....
My husband is 5'5" on a tall day..... but very well put together and fulfills all of the above.... as opposed to my cousin who is much the same height, not bad looking but has a serious chip on his shoulder about his height... like he could do anything about it....

[TurbulentFluid]

12 cm....

Just kidding.
Lower limit: my height. I don't wanna look down.
Upper limit: when I have to get up on my toeas to kiss him. There's too many normal-height guys out there to suffer a crick in the neck.
Definitely NOT "all men are sexy".

[kalagan]

****...i'm screwed.

[Euqinom]

I tend to get the most response from men that are hardly any taller than I am. Usually they are shorter. TAll & Big is sexy, but judging on response wise I'd have to say "my height". I have even become so un-used to tall men I find them a bit intimidating when it comes to romantic involvement. Shortest guy I dated was a good 10-15 cm shorter than I was.

[exnihillo]

The reason I say this is because 90% of the tall men I know were too afraid to approach me or ask me out on a date. They were stricken with fear which resulted in low self esteem. This is due to society automatically giving them the "MAN" trophy due to their size so they are not use to challenges or facing situations that will build their confidence.

Shorter men have it hard and they spend most of their lives proving to society that they earn their "Man" trophy. Therefore, they obtain the self esteem and confidence that most tall men don't.

In my entire life the majority of men who asked me to dance, date or to dinner were under 5'10" and that's says a lot.

Just think what kind of courage it takes for a man 5'5" to ask me out.

Good post... I graduated from high school at a height of 5'4"..I played all sports and got my varsity letter in a bunch of them..Being of a smaller stature I was a target to most opposing teams...By my 10th grade year I became a started for all the sports I played... I had to work harder than any of the taller guys to get my positions... The same things happened to me growing up in the city..Me and my brothers would be out at a bar or something and it seemed like I was always picked out to be messed with..
But I am more confident and dated more women than all of them put together...

Oldest brother height..6'3"
Older brother height...6'
me...5'7 and 3 quaters
younger brother....6'4"

^^^ damn its abt time i start proving myself

egads - i voted [no homo]
i'm happy with my height...

[Geno]

Speaking from a Tall Woman's Point of View I have found that most men under 5'9" have higher self esteem and confidence then men over 6 feet.

So self esteem and confidence makes a man sexy IMO.

Tall guys get hunchbacks from constantly walking bent over to talk to their friends.

[Sable_Strenua]

Posting a poll to see how the ladies feel about this subject! Much debate over on the Misc. about the topic!

as long as he's taller than me. I've dated 'manlets' before (5'7, 5'8)

[Sable_Strenua]

Well I would be angry if I lived in that armpit called Atlanta, one of the most violent cities in america, nice.
i think Philly beats ATL in that dept, hands down. check out the crime stats.
SEARCH-TECH!


Are you trying to hijack this tread? I think you are.

If you want to debate the issue about Atlanta ranks in criminal activity then PM me but it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Remember this thread is called "How short is too short for a man to be sexy?!"

I know you're trying to find out how to push my buttons and it's not going to work. :)

You can talk badly about Atlanta all you want and you will never get a rise out of me but from now on do it via PM so that folks can get back on the subject at hand.

how is that possible? Since you played sports, it wasn't a lack of exercise. Did you get little sleep as a teen?

Exercise and sleep have little to do with growth. Its all in genetics dude.

I skateboarded, ran, swam, wakeboarded, climbed, ect all my life. I got at LEAST 8-12 hours of sleep a night. Still I only reached 5'7.5

[darkangel]

I know it's wrong to feel this way, but I never could go for a guy who's shorter than I am. On the other hand, I dated a guy who was a foot taller than me and although there was a little of that "protected" feel, I also felt somewhat overwhelmed and let's just say the logistics of sex were sometimes... challenging. I'm much happier with my hubby who's only a couple of inches taller than I am.

[exnihillo]

I'm sorry, I could not date a guy who is 5'7". Most of my girl friends are 5'7"

That is fine..I don't think my wife would let me date you anyway...

I actually had a major crush on a guy who must be 5'6"

Personality and looks can win over, but I prefer <5'10"

[anb1683]

Aren't you 5'8...5'8 isn't too bad, I've found a lot of guys are this height...With my heals on I'm 5'8 so it works, sometimes I'm 5'9 but I dont mind being taller...as long as he doesnt. I dated a guy who was 5'6 and that wasn't bad, just didn't wear the shoes I loved...:( so we broke up.

How old are you? Are you taller than your father? What is/was your diet?

Do not know my mom was short 5'4" and dad was tall 6'1"..

I did not know about that, my mistake if you mentioned it previously. I was just stating that certain actions could stun growth while others (like exercise, proper diet and sleeping habits) could promote it.

I'd have to agree with you there, it is perfect.

[Most Muscular]

Throughout my life I was always the shortest guy around... growing up (well...okay, I never really grew UP...) in school and such I was always "looked down to"... and it does give you a complex and a feeling of insecurity, although over time I just didn't realize how short I was until perhaps I seen myself in a picture standing next to someone I knew.

When I got into bodybuilding I finally found a "sport" that I could excel at "because" of my height. At a little over 5'-2" with a muscular base I looked much bigger on stage (if standing alone) and people would tend to always guess I weighed more than 200 lbs (never been close to that).

The confidence that bodybuilding gave to me I feel has alowed me to carry myself with more confidence in my personal life as well. Although I know that in the professional world a shorter man will not get the respect that a taller man will... it's just life.

My wife is 5'-7" and when we walk together I suppose it looks a bit weird but I just chuckle and tell her everyone must just think that I'm hung like a horse...

How old are you? Are you taller than your father? What is/was your diet?

I'm 20. My dad is about an inch or two taller then me.

My diet was/is pretty normal. I eat brown rice and wheat bread. (health food wise). Usually eat veggies with almost every meal, and take vitamins every day (although wasn't consistent when I was younger).


I've always been short though. In school (like 5th grade and lower) I was always one of the shortest... I think only one guy was shorter then me and one other the same height.

I've never really "hit a growth spurt"... Its always been extremely slow growing over a period of time.

Thanks. How about your mother's height? If your mother is significantly shorter than your father, then that's a probable cause. Also I see that there's not much meat (protein) in your diet. Healthy diet may lead to a long life but not necessarily contribute best to growth in height. Not trying to tell you to eat unhealthy, haha; just wondering what is your protein source. eggs?

Btw, you're 20, you still have a year to go. I have known people that were 19/20 and grown taller.

My mom is like 5'0 or 5'1, my sister is 4'11.

I do eat a good bit of meat (Some with every meal lunch/supper wise): steak, fish, chicken, venison, sometimes pork (rarely cause its so unhealthy)... Also a decent amount of seafood. Usually shrimp or crawfish.

For breakfast its usually either cereal (depending on if I have time to fix or not) oatmeal, eggs/bacon, or toast if its a hurry.


I'm hoping I'll grow a bit more catch my Dad before I quit growing... Perhaps I'm a late bloomer. :p


One thing I am lucky with is my Dad has a very wide/thick shoulders/chest with narrow hips. Giving off the impression he is bigger then he is and he looks "powerful" . :D (I've heard women say that about him)

Wow This is ridiculous. You and I have the same life, haha. Everything you said is identical to me right down to the wide shoulders part.

Anyways, I think it's due to your mother. It is significantly less than your father, who's 5'9/5'10? But you could be a late bloomer. I'm not but we're not entirely the same. :) Also I remember you say you sleep like 10-12hrs a night. Is that an exaggeration or it is true? What time do you sleep; it largely depends on the time you go into deep sleep.

Yeah, my dad is 5'9ish, my grandpa and uncle on my moms side is both like 5'8 I think, my grandma is prolly like 5'2 (so shorter genetics comes from my mom for sure)...



As for sleep, when I have nothing going on the next day I go to sleep at like 2AM and then sleep till around 12 or 12:30 the next day.

On a school night (college) I try to get to sleep by 12 and wake up at 9:15AM (with current schedule).

When I was younger I homeschooled so I pretty much stayed up till 2-3AM every night and would sleep till 12:30 -1:30.


If I don't set an alarm clock I always get AT LEAST 10 hours of sleep before waking, If I'm really exhausted it can go to 12 hours.

[Karsk]

Heh, nice response to them Most Muscular... my ex was 6'2, and man did I get annoyed answering that question, 'so what's it like dating a woman whose taller than you?'... Never did come up with a good (civil) response.

men keep growing til they're 25... so you have 5 years left. Not one, so there is plenty of time left Guest89.

Height is mostly genetics... but it CAN be influenced by both the lives of your parents, and your own... for example, if your dad or mum went through a period of malnutrition (particularly low calcium and other bone minerals), during their lifetime, while they may be fine, it may affect your growth. Or if you were allergic to milk as a child.

Hell, it could even be a throwback to medieval times, when people were short, and really broad (and strong as oxen).

Nearly everyone has little things though that can be used to say they should be shorter, or taller... for example, by my ribcage measurement, and that height formula they use [I think it's doubling your height when you're 3 or something], I should be 6'3.... however, given my parents, and the rest of my families respective heights... that was never in any danger of happening.

How much you sleep, how well you eat, and how much you exercise has almost nothing to do with how much you grow. I know the most unhealthy people who grew up never sleeping, eating well, or exercising and they ended up being 6+, some of the healthier kids end up being the short ones and sometimes it's other way around.

But something that stays consistent... they are the same size as their parents, roughly--or at least someone in the family. It's all genetics. That's it.

[IronCamp]

6' or taller.....love tall men.

Is that why the Dutch who was once known for their short height in Europe is now one of the tallest in the world and why South Korean are 3 inch taller than the impoverished North Korea? Genetics play a key role but it's not the only factor.

I'm 5'8" (although I swear i've grown since I lost weight and started working out...is this possible at 23 years old?) and I think a guy who is like 6'2" (give or take) is perfect. I dated a guy who was a tad bit shorter than me, and it was awkward, but I tried to see past it. Before him, I dated a guy who was 6'10". It's all about whether or not they can win you over in the end...but I def like them tall.

It also depends on their actual size, too...
I wouldn't really go for a guy who's 5'8 and skinnier than me, however if they were 5'8 but bigger than me, then that would be ok... haha, I'm so picky.

Yea that makes sense, I'm 5'10 was 5'9 all through highschool and never had girls complain about my height.. well one girl who was 4,8 only liked short guys but besides that it was ok.

However I did have girls complain about my weight. Ironicly the girls who liked me most were either naturally thin and smaller then me, or fat. So it was one extreme to the other. The average girls I dated always complained I made them feel fat and they hated taking pictures next to me lol.

[MsFitFern]

i AM 5'3" and I like big men. I wasn't always this way and could probably go 5'9" at the shortest. I have big hands, long fingers and something about a man with hands as big as mine grosses me out....ya, its weird. Most men over 5'10" are hand safe for me

[stliftn8]

all in hs i was probably self conscience about my height but that also had to do with my weight(extremely skinny). Now even if i had the choice to all the sudden b 6 foot i wouldnt do it. My frame looks right on me now i think and a girl has never turned me down from it and in fact ive only dated 3 girls shorter than me the rest have been about an inch or two taller and it didnt bother them like it didnt bother me.

[raysmith]

5'10 is the perfect height. Just happens I am that tall too. :o :p

[missella5]

Yeah, I think all men could be sexy ;however, I usually stick to guys 6'4 and above just because I'm 6' tall. Plus, I love basketball players and swimmers and they're usually in that neighborhood. That isn't to say I wouldn't date a shorter guy (I went to formal with a 6' guy), I just haven't yet.

[mnmiz4me]

I'm a whole 4'11. I've dated men from 5'4 to 6'4 height never mattered to me. It's all about personality and intelligence. That's and putting up with my smartass attitude..

What time do you sleep; it largely depends on the time you go into deep sleep.

Height is almost completely genetic. The only thing you can do to influence it aside from anti-aromatose agents and HGH is to get enough food to eat. By enough food, I mean very small amounts; if you grew up in a first-world country, you most definately got enough food to eat.

In order to not eat enough to grow, you'd have to be eating the equivalent of a starving Ethiopian or something; if you're not dying, you're probably growing. You're just very insecure about yourself.

I'm 5'8" and have never had a problem with my height with girls. I've had girls give me **** tests about it before like we'll somewhere in the stage of initially flirting with each other and she'll say something like, "You're kind of short for a guy.."

That's only happened a few times though and it doesn't really have anything to do with my height; she's just unconsciously checking my confidence to see if I'm a confident guy or not. If the guy was tall, she would have done the same thing, only she would have said something different, like "Your nose is kind of long.." or something just to see how he takes it.

No girl wants a guy she holds power over and in my case any comments about my height have always just been a personality test, not a rejection; the comments didn't really have anything to do with my height in the first place.

Obviously, an unconfident guy of my height would take it the wrong way, just as an unconfident guy of 6' would take the comment about his nose the wrong way, and they'd live their lives thinking that girls hate them because of their height or their nose. They'd certainly think that, but really girls would just hate them because of their poor and unconfident personalities.

I'm 5'10 and my man is 5'6. I actually prefer shorter men. I find that they are very confident (to say the least!), but, every once in a while, they will show just a tiny bit of insecurity about their height; when they do that I think its SOOOOO adorable!!!! I definitely have a soft spot for short men!!

[goyongj]

Girls usually want their man at least 4 inch taller than them
2 inch for high heels and she can still look up you when kissing.

short girls: 'I need tall man cuz I am short and want to feel safe around him'
Tall girls: 'I want tall man cuz I am tall (obviously)'


I am 6'1", but I wish I was 2 inch taller (yeah it's about confidence)

[elitist]

The boyfriend is 5'8"-ish and sexy as all hell. I've done as tall as 6'3" but they had nothing on him.

[NatPaq]

a man can be sexy at any height, however I prefer a man to be taller than me when I'm in heels..or at least the same height. I'm about 5'7" so 6' at least is ideal.

[usedtobefit]

Well whadda know,a forum I can relate too.I am going to post these remarks specificly for any young,short guys who lack self confidence.I am 5' 4'',and I have been around a loooonng time.As long as you have a good body,and a nice personality,you will never lack female companionship.It's kinda tough when you are 16 years old and realize you are not going to grow any taller,but once you accept that,and decide you will be strong and fit,you have won the battle.Sure,there is no doulbt that the odds are tilted slightly against you,but,work out,get the bod!! and you will see,it's like magic-in my personal experience,a fit short guy will beat out an ordernary taller guy every time-unless he's walking around with 100 dollar bills falling out of his pockets-you can 't win em all!!

[RockgurlCT]

I think shorter guys are cuter...more compact. Big guys just look out of proportion! I don't like getting a neck ache trying to have a conversation with someone so tall! LOL. I'm 5'4 and have no problem with a guy the same height.

[swole2008]

a man below 6' is too short.
a man above 6' is too tall.

guess how tall i am? =)

[usedtobefit]

ROCKGURL -I'm glad you commented,short guys need encouragement-Hear that all you young guys!-Now for the -you won't believe this,what are the odds dept.-While scanning through the Ct.forum,I noticed you are from Andover.Out of over 100,000 members on this site,you would be the one to post a comment-I live in Coventry-who whodda thunk it!!Good luck in your quest to run the Manchester race.

[Bodysteele]

I agree wholeheartedly.



Naw but 6.1 1/2 is right about perfect to be honest. 225ish/240ish.

Its that OLB build.

[BOLDERNECK]

Posting a poll to see how the ladies feel about this subject! Much debate over on the Misc. about the topic! i am not a queer...but what does a guys height or lack of have anything to do with it? i like short girls or tall...does not matter...isnt the real question; does a person have high self asteem or low...the only reson aperson would care about someone elses height is because they care about what other people think....pretty wimpy to me! i mean if you like someone....you like them! why would it matter...espeicaly something you cant control

[missmarina]

My man is 5'8, I have always gone for taller guys, but with his personality he could be 4'9 and I wouldent care. Any other guy on the street I would prefer he be atleast 5'6 to be "sexy" to me. my size or bigger.

[Eddie-M]

I don't like short girls that much. Ideal is my height, or within a couple inches. Its nice being able to drive each others cars and not have to move the seat. Tall women are sexy, I tried to date a taller girl a while back, but I felt demasculated. But her legs went on forever-hot!

[martina92685]

Any guy can be sexy, but I could never date a guy shorter than me.

I reached my full height of 6'2 at age 13, and I have ALWAYS felt like the giant in the room. I would prefer not to feel that way with my significant other.

And oh yeah, someone mentioned that guys lie about their height on the internet....well to add to that they do in REAL LIFE. I know for sure that I am 6'2, and I always have guys coming up to me and telling me that I must be 6'6 because they are 6'4. So annoying. :( What is the reason for lying?

[Protagoras]

The reason I say this is because 90% of the tall men I know were too afraid to approach me or ask me out on a date. They were stricken with fear which resulted in low self esteem. This is due to society automatically giving them the "MAN" trophy due to their size so they are not use to challenges or facing situations that will build their confidence.

Shorter men have it hard and they spend most of their lives proving to society that they earn their "Man" trophy. Therefore, they obtain the self esteem and confidence that most tall men don't.

In my entire life the majority of men who asked me to dance, date or to dinner were under 5'10" and that's says a lot.

Just think what kind of courage it takes for a man 5'5" to ask me out.


interesting theory, maybe some truth in it.

i'm 6'4 and very rarely approach taller women. i don't know why that is, as i'm not unconfident.

one thing is that often taller chicks have bigger heads, which i'm not into.

plus, they really have to be skinny with a perfect figure if taller, as otherwise they just look too 'big' if tall also. she needs to have a model's figure if over 6' in my view, as even an 'athletic' look on a taller chick looks too big for me.

in general, my favourite height for a girl is when her ankles are right around my neck.

Lots of people lie about their height in real life, I know a guy that claims to be 6'2 and he's barely 5'10 (if that). When he's wearing boots (which add a solid 2-2.5") he's barely taller then a friend of his thats 5'7.


I've another friend that claims he's 6', but he's only about 5'8 or 5'8.5 max.

The list goes on... Its quite funny actually. Most celebrities are 1-2 inches shorter then what they are listed at also.

[tryn2getstrong]

This is kind of the opposite of the thread, but I'm 5'8" and dated a 5'11" chic for a while. Tall girls are soooo sexy it's ridiculous.

good for you most men dont have the balls for that ,,,,,

[usedtobefit]

I am 5'4'' and I have never lacked female companionship.I made up for my lack of height by working out and having a better than average build and developing a pleasant personality.The only disadvantage was that I would not try to date anyone taller than me,but I did not resist dating any girl taller than me if she showed an interest in me,and there were a few.A looong,loong time ago,when I was still in my 20tees.my wife and I went to a dance with a couple we knew and we sat with some of their friends.There were about 6 couples,and as people got up to dance,the husband of one of the couples asked my wife to dance,and,of course she accepted.Now,that left me and his wife the only people sitting at the table.She was a beauty!!,probably 5'7'',5;8'' with high heels and a very low cut dress.I asked her to dance,and being a good sport,she accepted.As we were dancing,my eyball were just about level with her well endowed breast peeping out at me from her low cut dress.I looked up at her and said,,-I never realized dancing with a tall woman could be so much fun!!-She placed her hand on the back of my head,and with a big smile she said,- be quite and just keep dancing,as she gently pushed my face into her breast!!,and that werre I left it till the end of the dance!!AHH memories!!

[TWright]

Are you trying to hijack this tread? I think you are.

If you want to debate the issue about Atlanta ranks in criminal activity then PM me but it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Remember this thread is called "How short is too short for a man to be sexy?!"

I know you're trying to find out how to push my buttons and it's not going to work. :)

You can talk badly about Atlanta all you want and you will never get a rise out of me but from now on do it via PM so that folks can get back on the subject at hand.

Nice job girl. You keep your composure well. Some people would've ranted back. Im very impressed. =)

[Crazymix]

a man below 6' is too short.
a man above 6' is too tall.

[muladesigns]

im 5'10" and never gave a thought to my height. I was surprised to see how many guys are hung up on this.
guess that explains napolian and hittlers rage.

do women worry about height?
i always liked the 5'-5'5" women myself.

In my opinion ;) you are correct... That is the perfect height!

Worry about it though?? Nah... We shorter gals have many benefits ;) and... we can always wear heels w/o fear of ever being too tall! ( I like heels! )

[-MarcusD-]

6'0 here. I have dated girls from 4'11 to 5'10 love em all haha

Aaahhh... so sweet... :)

These poll results do not bode well...

Weird note, any ever notice women seem to be with guys who are aboutish a head taller than them? I noticed when I was drawing one day, and I see it all the time. No matter what height, it seems like something I consistently see. It also occured to me, of the few girls who've approached and liked me over the years (insted of me approaching them), all three were 4'11/5'0 which is oddly a head heighter shorter. Anyone else ever come across it?

1) The poll results are mainly what the GUYS on this forum think is too short for another man to be sexy.

2) Never noticed the head taller thing, I wouldn't worry about it though. Every single guy I know thats 5'4-5'8 have girlfriends.

Yeh I know. Never been a major issue for me. Especially not in everyday life.

However, there are some extreme situations. I've seen for a few years now what girls can be like if they've got a choice of guys available to them. Four guys to every one girl. I learnt a lot from being in that enviroment.

[dukefanregard]

My boyfriends 6'1 so I had to vote for his category :D

[CandyStripes]

As long as he's at least an inch taller than me, then he's cool.

[SaifAbubaker]

My man is 5'8, I have always gone for taller guys, but with his personality he could be 4'9 and I wouldent care. Any other guy on the street I would prefer he be atleast 5'6 to be "sexy" to me. my size or bigger.

cant agree more ! :)

[NotReal]

Hmm, according to the vote I am too short to be sexy.. :(

[puraquablue]

strong poll

[vandalgirl59]

I like my guys at LEAST 3 inches taller than me.

[ConciseChick]

At least an inch or so taller then me so I can rock heals and still not be taller then him. But not taller then 6' cause I don't like feeling short ;-)

[NotReal]

Hmmm, so... does 5'10" work for you? ;)

[ConciseChick]

^^ perfect... Even in my hooker boots you will still be just a bit taller ;-)

[NotReal]

This is really good news. :)

[thecityignites]

I'm 5'8" and I think I've dated maybe 3-4 guys that were over 6'. Most of the guys I date aren't more than 2-3" taller than me. As long as a guy is bigger than me, even if not significantly in height, I can still find 'em attractive. One of my uh current "suitors" is only 5'6"....but he's a rad dude and we have a lot in common. So its good by me.

IMO height doesn't really matter. I mean I'd prefer to date someone who's at least my height, but at the end of the day - being able to enjoy someone's company and have a good time with them is far more important than whether or not I wear heels or flats.
