Ladies...At what height is a guy creepy short to you?

eric_sg61

Short guys are creepy now. Wonderful. I have noticed in my dating life that girls care about height, but women don't.

I love a man to tower over me. I am 5'5 I like a man to be at least 5'9 and up.

"Creepy short" is something that I would never think.

But I am 5'8" and probably wouldn't have dated a guy under 5'5" unless there was a huge mutual attraction, plenty of things in common, etc. I dated guys 5'6"-5'8" no problem though. My ex was around 5'9" or a little over.

I admit that I DO love my husband being over six feet tall, but height wasn't my top priority when seeking a mate. Not even Top Ten.

I feel like this is about right.

I have a friend I deeply like- but not attracted too- he's just a tad too short- and actually I think he may only be an inch shorter than me- but I'd have made it work if there was a chance.

I'm 5'8" and I LOVE my heels- and I typically rock 3-4" heels- nothing shorter- anything under 3 I hate... so if I wear heels- I'm definitely taller than BF who is 5'9".

I don't care. Sometimes it makes the arm/shoulder/waist holding thing a little weird- but meh. whatever. I don't care if I"m 3-4" taller- seriously it just doesn't register with me.

2-3" shorter than is pushing it. But it's not a HUGE deal breaker- I Think it vastly depends on his personality about the height. Napoleon complex is DEFINITELY a thing. THAT'S the deal breaker.

My father always said to me when I brought a short guy home (I am quite tall) - 'they are all the same height lying down' and you know what, he was right lol

LOVE this! My dad never would have said something like that to me, but who cares? That's the truth!

For the record, I'm 5'3" and I've dated guys 5' flat up to 6'6". Pretty sure that calling a guy creepy just because he's a bit vertically challenged is wrong on several levels. Way to go for being a shallow jerk!

I'm just under 6ft tall. Anything below 5'10" is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

Well, I guess it's not really a deal-breaker, but physical attraction is an essential component to chemistry, and I never find myself physically attracted to a man while he is staring up my nose.

Good point! Lol
I just don't want a man that I have to lean down to kiss. I'm short, so I don't have a problem there, and "creepy"? Not at all, bad use of a word?

Am I tall enough???



Because my height is what makes me creepy or non-creepy right?

Right guys?

My father always said to me when I brought a short guy home (I am quite tall) - 'they are all the same height lying down' and you know what, he was right lol

So not true...all men are not created equal and that would be obvious when laying down...Did you get the "it's not the length its the girth" or "its not the size of the wand it is how much magic it can make" lecture?

skinnyinnotime

My husband is an inch shorter than me. I'm 5'9. I don't really care what height a man is...just as long as he's a decent guy.

We're exactly the same!!

They won't treat you better or love you more if they're taller lol!! Alot of women are missing out on some great guys due to their desire to have a taller man.

cursiny

I am 5 feet 9 inches and I prefer a man to be 6 foot or taller. I won't date a guy shorter than me, its just weird!!

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

i'm 5'7". My last boyfriend was about a half inch shorter. It was ok until I wear heels. Then we looked ridiculous. I prefer wearing higher heels, and would rather date someone who is 6'+. I really liked this guy, so I was ok with looking a little silly.

I'm guessing this was pre-18 year marriage when you were 18?

michele093

Any Shorter than 5'9 is too short to me. I'm only 5'2 but I like a guy to be around 6'2. 6'0 is the shortest I will date.

worldhurdler

Off topic but I never understood why tall women, 5' 11"+, wear high heels.

*Ahem* Because, when you're already 6'0" tall and work predominately with women, what's it matter if you are 6" taller than them or 9"? I'm an Amazon, either way Plus, they look dang good.

However, I rarely wear them when going out with my husband (who is 1" taller).

mayaocean

Anything under 6'0 and we're in manlet territory

iLOVEbabySARA13

I'm 5'3. Shortest I've been with is the same height as me. Doesn't bother me unless they're scrawny.

ShifuYaku

I'm 5'2, sooooo I think anything shorter than that. I rather like my guys tall. Like, 6 or 7 inches taller or more.

MapleFlavouredMaiden

There are enough other things that can make a man (or anyone) creepy without worrying about something as arbitrary as height.

tzig00

I'm 5'6" and one guy I dated was the same height as me, the last guy was about 2" shorter than me. That one got a little weird. I'm not so ok with bending down to kiss my man.

HealthyBodySickMind

You want creepy? 4 out of 5 of my long term relationships, the guy was 6'2" exactly. So is my dad. The one I married is only a little over an inch taller than me, at 5'6"

msf74

Off topic but I never understood why tall women, 5' 11"+, wear high heels.

Because high heels are less about gaining height then giving the illusion of longer legs, particularly due to even calf muscle activation.

There's also a certain amount of sexual signalling going on but I will leave it at that....

kuderstadt

I think the shortest guy I dated was about 5'6", he was super sweet and I really liked him, I'm 5'4-1/2" so we looked great together, I don't wear heels, so that was never an issue… but then I met my hubby, and fell head over heels… He's 6'4" and we look funny together. LoL.. I don't think his height played a huge roll in our attraction, if anything, probably should have had the opposite effect, and he used to wear cowboy boots that made him even taller and he was so skinny. Anyone who wears a 32/34 pant dating a short girl with self-conscious weight issues… must be crazy… LoL… what a mess we were. But 18 years later, he's still the love of my life. And sexy as ever. ;-)

So to answer your question, I'm not sure what height a guy would have to be, to be 'creepy short', but I did used to think my hubby was a bit too tall and too skinny!!! Handsome as all get-out tho… ;-)

Never dated anyone shorter than me... but that's because no one asked. Dated several right at my height and they loved me in heels. I stand at about 5'7'' normally and in my typical choice of heels I flirt with 6'. There have actually been several "shorter" guys I've been attracted to and I like to think I'm open minded enough to have given them a shot should they have asked.

However, most shorter friends have stated I'm "intimidating" and therefore they would have never dreamed of even trying.

tumblyweed

Personal preference, but I like to feel a bit smaller and shorter than my man. Shorter than I, is just not attractive to me. Friends :flowerforyou:

in4nomz

Being 5'11 I naturally prefer a guy to be taller than me. I'm not AGAINST short men, I just feel like it takes away my femininity when I tower over them. That being said, my bf is 6'3 and that's perfect for me! Gives me the option to wear heels and not be much taller!

"Creepy" has nothing to do with height. The creepy gene does not discriminate.

ZombieGeezUs

If you replaced this topic with "breast size" everyone would be up in arms.

somerisagirlsname

I'm not usually one to shout "BODY SHAMING!" but creepy was a little harsh, especially over something they have completely no control over whatsoever.

Nobody seems to bat an eye when dudes get body shamed, but utter any sentence portraying any female body being prettier/better/preferential to another and Sh** IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

If you replaced this topic with "breast size" everyone would be up in arms.

Everyone is entitled to their preferences.

just_Jennie1

I am 5'2 so anything that is remotely close to that height is too short. I've always liked tall guys.

LindyAnne12

Well I'm 4'11 so there arent may men shorter than me!
I've never been attracted to tall men though, probably because of my height.

Its ok to shame men we are secure enough to handle it.
