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

Slacker16

If any of the ladies here are curious what percentage of their dating pool they're eliminating right off the bat, here are statistics by age and height. They're for the US, but probably representative for most of the first world.

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

I'm with the people who've said that there's no correlation between height and being creepy. That being said, I don't give a hoot about how tall a man is, nor would I even if I wasn't short. I've dated men as tall as 6'4 and some as short as me.

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

Were you rejected by a tall woman? Because tall women care about height.

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

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

Lol we gotta be. Besides, I am 5'11 so I am not sweating it.

I think this topic (male height and associating with creepiness) is completely insensitive and hurtful.

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

You might have missed the 'Weakest Link' episode with Ron Jeremy, then?

Everyone is entitled to their preferences.

Agreed, but preference wasn't the question. Labeling someone as creepy because of a genetic trait is stupid, whether it be height or breast size, or anything else for that matter.

I'm 5'9 and I definitely prefer a guy to be the same or taller but if I really liked him I doubt it would matter if he a was a little bit shorter. My flatmate is seeing a guy at the moment that is a bit shorter than her and I know she was on the fence about it when they first met. It was definitely noted on the cons list, that's for sure. She's a tiny bit taller than I am.

Never rejected by anyone:blushing:

Uggs and ipad makes up for height, or lack thereof

I'm already really short, 5'3" ... so if a guy is shorter than me, I'm not totally into it. I dated a guy who was the same height as me though, just can't be shorter.

_Calypso_

I'm 5'9" and I prefer at least 6', but nothing shorter than 5'9".

I wear heels too which can make it more awkward. I work with a lot of short guys and I often feel like amazon woman walking around the office. But...I love my heels.

My wife is 6'3" and I am 5'10". No problems in our 22 year relationship with height.

metaphoria

I'm 5'3" so i would have been hard pressed to find a shorter guy to date. A couple of them came close, one was maybe 5'5", but that wasn't a factor in the break-up. Now I'm married to a guy who's 6'2". Our wedding pictures are a bit ridiculous. :laugh:

lauren3101

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

Do you have an issue with tall women? Are you... you know... short?

I used to have a friend that was 6"2 and she used to wear huge heels when she went out, and men used to trip over themselves to talk to her. She carried it well and had confidence.

In answer to the question, I don't find short men 'creepy' at any height. I prefer tall, but I wouldn't write off a potential partner just because of his height.

I imagine.

Being short is never "creepy".
I am 5'2 and my hubby is 5'6, we fit perfect together.

shutyourpieholeandsquat

I'm 5'2... so you'd have to be a dwarf to be creepy to me.

Oh for Pete's sake. Wondering who Pete is. Everyone has their own preference, I prefer men taller than me, some women like them shorter. Who cares?

I like this -


You like that -

I doesn't make any of us wrong. Just preference.

wolverine66

Height isn't a dealbreaker for me. There are enough things to worry about in terms of compatability, I'd rather not judge a man for a physical characteristic that he has no control over.

i like you for this.

i'm below average height - 5'6" - it's one thing to not be attracted to someone who is shorter due to preference, it's another to to judge someone as being less of a man because they are shorter.

anro86

I have a thing for shorter guys. I am only 5 foot 1, of course, so that has something to do with it.

Shortest guy I have dated is 5 foot 2, tallest was probably 5 foot 6.

princessofredrock

Agree about the "creepy" label!

Before I was married I dated men of different heights. Don't we all look for other things in a mate besides that? Yes I even dated a guy that was shorter than me! I don't believe that how tall someone is really factors into the equation.

We all have our preferences but to say someone is too short, and that makes them creepy, well it's ridiculous!

I am 5' 2" my hubby of 24 yrs is 5' 11" We love each other for many other reasons besides that he's tall, and I'm short! ; )

ElliottTN

I'm 5'11 and I always go for the girls taller than me. Guess I'm a height creeper or just like bigger vaginas, dunno.

in_the_stars

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

Manlet ? What a nasty label.

highervibes

I once didn't date someone who I was totally in love with intellectually because he was shorter than me. Biggest. Mistake. Ever,

BlueBombers

It doesn't bother me

TR0berts

"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.

Wouldn't that just be a normal reason to date someone, though?

This is why women aren't satisfied. There is an inverse correlation between niceness and height. So, they go looking for taller men, and only find jerks and d-bags. They decline the short guys, and miss all the nice guys.

I must admit this is very true.

Soooooo... Tall guys aren't nice?
