How important is a mans height to you? I was having a discussion on this with a friend the other night. Do you think its important, somewhat important or not important at all?

    Most of the girls I know, & including myself, prefer a guy to be atleast her height or taller :)

    Umm... somewhat. In general I don't like guys shorter than me but that doesn't mean I never have before. Girls usually end up seriously liking a guy based off emotional reasons, on the way he carries himself , and the way he treats them. Seriously. So height doesn't have to be a huge barrier! Initially it could be. For me personally...no more than an inch shorter, I'm not super tall

    I've always had a prefernce for a guy who is taller and bigger.... but my husband is about an inch shorter than me and I wouldn't change him for the world.
    As with all physical things, it's easy to have a preference but it really is the personality and heart that matters.

    for me height isn't a huge thing, but if i get to chose i would like for him to be taller than me. but in the long run as long as the guy is nice and treats me right and someone that i can love, the height is not what will be on my mind. :)

    i prefer taller than me, but i've never met a guy shorter than me before so can't really say for sure. I am only 5'2 though not hard to be taller than me. Of course now a days i'll take anyone with a pulse

    height isnt that important to me, but then again i am only 5'5, so for the most part the average guy i date will be taller than me even if i wear heels.

    but i have several friends who are 5'9 and over. height is more important to them it seems i guess because they are closer to the average guy's height. oh and i read somewhere that the average height for men in america was 5'10

    My husband & I are both 5'5", we've been married almost 11 years. I still wish he were taller than me LOL I know I cant change it, but it does bother me that I am taller than him in heels so I rarely wear them around him. It didn't deter me from marrying him though! :)

    I'm 5'6 and prefer my guy to be 5'8-6'0 cause it makes some things easier and some things cuter.. Like kisses and... other things haha

    No. I'm 6' and my husband is 6'4 and muscled up. But, I have seriously dated men far shorter then me. Manly acting is important. Short is not a problem. Whimpy on the other hand.....

    It is not a big deal.

    Some of the biggest dbags I have ever known were tall. I prefer a nice smart witty man over tall. Height is not a factor.

    I eb and flow with this one. I'm 5'5" and I PREFER a taller man (over 5'10") but it is NOT a non-negotiable.

    I like taller but sometimes it is very hard because I am 5'11. I love being able to look up to a guy. But at the same time if I found someone shorter and I love them then I guess it won't matter much.. :smile:

    Somewhat important......but I'm only 5'1 so really never worried about it :smile:

    As I am 5ft 10in, fairly important. I need to look a guy in the eye, so he has to be no shorter than 5 ft 9in. Oddly, I have never really gone for very tall guys.

    I don't think height matters as long as you are a good fit personality-wise, but then I would say that: I'm 5'7" and have been married to my 5'1" husband for 25 years! Yes, we look odd, and often people don't believe we're together, but we're happy and in the end, that's all that matters.

    I'm 5'1 and dated a guy that was 5'2 and round. Never, never, ever, ever will I do that again. I like to wear heels and looking down on a guy at my height freaks me out.

    So yeah, it's pretty important to me.

    prefer taller than myself but not more important that who he is as a man. But if he is short and has "short man syndrome" where he's bitter and insecure...then thats a total turn off. Just think if you are 5'8" there are tuns of women shorter than you...there isn't any thing to stress about. If a man is the same height as me and confident and happy with who he is...I don't give a crap and just wear flats.

    I like a guy to be taller than me so shorties, please, for the love of god, leave the tall ones (6'+) alone. There are plenty of shorter guys left for you! :wink:

    I'm 5ft 4, my shortest boyfriend was 5ft1, the tallest was 6ft7. My husband is 6ft3. They have all been completely different personality wise and looks wise but the thing they had in common was being able to make me laugh, and making me feel safe and secure and loved :heart:

    All of the guys I have ever been with were at least a foot taller than me. I'm 5'2. My SO is 6'4 and my ex was 6'7. I was practically portable :/
