Needs to be slightly taller, but more important to have broad shoulders & nice eyes. ;)

i like my men shorter, but am a man too, does it count?

I've noticed that frequently petite women on the whole go for MUCH larger men where as 'average' sized women tend to go for more 'average' sized men. Are they trying to average out the height of all the people on earth?

It's a good job I'm not insistent on my man being taller than me, or I'd spend my life rather lonely- I'm taller than all bar a very few men.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not important. It would be an issue if he had an issue with my height, since I can't change how tall I am, but luckily there are men in the world who are self-assured enough to not be threatened by a woman who's taller than them.

So how do you go on when snogging them ? :cool:

I dont lfind men attractive if they're really tall. I'm 5' 8'' and I feel insecure if someone is more than a couple of inches taller than me.....

overall I say I tend to go for 'short' men, but I dont find blokes who are really short attractive either.

My usband is about 5' 9'' and I think he's gorgeous!

I love taller men, they make me feel safe!

And you can't kiss properly when they're smaller! Poor Katie Holmes!

taller men are longer

If you mean what I think you mean you're completely incorrect.

So how do you go on when snogging them ? :cool:

Well- it depends on how much shorter than me he is!

My ex-hubby is 5'8, so if I was in heels he'd have to stand on the bottom step or something, but BF's a little over 6', so he's just having to get used to kissing uphill.

Or I develop a stoop.

Or sit down.

I like em 6ft ish and wiry ... it's just nice to be able to look up to your man :D

But at the moment, anything over 5ft8 would be ok - not that I'm getting desparate or anything :hihi:

Or lift them onto a stool.!!;)

I like my man to be taller than me and heavier, but it's not stopped me going out with short guys in the past.

So how do you go on when snogging them ? :cool:

My recent ex was about 16 or 17 inches taller than me. If we were both stood up sometimes he would have to stoop down a bit and I would reach up. :)

Sitting down was better.

Lying down was sooooooooooo much better. ;) :)

I like em 6ft ish and wiry ... it's just nice to be able to look up to your man :D

No of course not ruby. Desperate you ?(By the way what does wiry mean?) :huh:

Or lift them onto a stool.!!;)

I've stood on a chair once or twice. :)

Or lift them onto a stool.!!;)

And of course, no man would have a problem with that, would they?

(actually, I'm pretty sure that BF would think it was hilarious, but I think he's in the minority).

well, i'm 6'5" so anyone tallish who likes to wear their heels is ok with me :D

And of course, no man would have a problem with that, would they?

(actually, I'm pretty sure that BF would think it was hilarious, but I think he's in the minority).

No of course not,as long as theve got all the right tackle.!! ;)

what do you think i mean, are you really tall?

i have been out with 1 taller women than me i am 5.7 and one the same height as me
i never felt threatened by them at all

Yes, carry on !!

Well, I have the eyes, and I'm as 'broad as wicker arches'...:P

This thread saddens me :cry: LOL

is it because its easier to kiss our butts?

Well, I have the eyes, and I'm as 'broad as wicker arches'...:P

In what way Lindos ? ;)

I'm around 5'10, and I like women around my own hight, or an inch or two either way. Being quite heavily built, it doesn't bother me at all.

That said, most of my gfs have beem 5'4 or less, which seems to suggest women prefer a taller man?

Oh well...:hihi:

In what way Lindos ? ;)

Why, in the best possible way, Pat ;)

This thread saddens me :cry: LOL

Why does it sadden you?

Why does it sadden you?

cos he's 4'10" lol :P

Wont disagree with that.

couldnt really be serious about a taller woman. im about 5. 10. (that obviously means 5.9. but i feel uncomfortable with tall women and ive never had a taller girlfriend. thats probably down to insecurity on my behalf but i just prefer smaller women size 8/10.

Yes, carry on !! OK!!!!
well kissing is great as no bending over and you can do it standing up as well not kissing:heyhey:
so its a big yes to girls as tall as you :thumbsup:

but i just prefer smaller women size 8/10.

lol what about smaller women, size 16/18 ... luscious, gorgeously plumptious ones?

Not that I'm offering or anything :hihi:

admit it, you want me!

cos he's 4'10" lol :PWell, not quite that short :P

As long as there are people who see others as individuals, there will be people who see beyond height, weight, disability, colour and everything else to see and love the people underneath.

medusa, how tall are you?

I must admit, i like my men taller, i just dont find shorter men at all sexy, its gotta be at least 5ft 9" or taller for me.

admit it, you want me!
i think she does as well
must be your helmet
it looks hard as well:thumbsup:

i know but it needs a bit of a polish.....ruby he's a calling ya, he's a calling ya:love: :love:

Just a general observation (for which I'll probably get shot down), but why does it seem that 'cuddly' girls of limited height usually 'end up with' males of a similar stature.



Well, so it seems from behind the sticky bun counter at Morro's.

against the skin so nice you lucky man :heyhey:

My Mum always used to tell me that it p*****d her off(not her exact words) that all the short lasses pulled all the nice tall ones when she was young. (She's 5'8, which I guess in the dark ages was tall for a woman*).

Not quite sure where my height came from as my Dad isn't much taller than her. (we had a tall milkman though*:suspect:)




*just as well my Mum doesn't frequent the SF, or I'd be in for an ass-kicking:hihi:

Tall men are useful to get all the stuff off the top shelf when shopping. They don't have to get ladders out to get something off the ceiling. And you can use their heads as dusters.

When I was a store manager I always used to employ at least one tall person. :hihi:

There was a guy in the Nursery Tavern the other Friday and people couldn't take their eyes off him. He was the sole topic of conversation as people went past! I've never seen anyone so tall. :wow: He looked like the guy from The Green Mile. We asked him his height in the end as my mate ,who is tall, seemed dwarfed by him. He said 6' 7" but I think he was way taller than that as a bloke who was 6' 4" was stood next to him and looked frankly tiny. All his mates seemed about 4 foot in comparison. He seemed a lovely bloke and he let my mate go first! :thumbsup: My mate who is 5' 1" kept making lewd comments about body parts meeting other body parts! lol!

Personally I prefer tall lanky blokes but that's just personal preference but i spent my twenties with a bloke who was 5 7" so who knows?

However all the famous people i seem to find attractive are short! Alex Turner - tiny, Kelly Jones, tiny, Tom Thumb.... obviously big ego makes up for shortness.

I would wax lyrical about the benefit of long arms but this is a family forum!

Why do people feel the need to ask a tall person their height?

If you saw an obese person, would you ask them how much they weighed? I doubt it.

My ex is 6ft 7 and strangers often ask him his height. He was/is quite a shy person and self-conscious about his height and he hated it when asked about it. He is a polite person and would answer their question but never seemed to want to continue in conversation with them.

It got to the stage where I even got fed up of people asking him. We can't help how tall/short we are but some people seem to think it's ok to ask how tall someone is whereas they wouldn't ask someone how small they were or how much they weighed. :(

I like blokes to be taller than me. Im 5ft8(ish).

It just feels more comfortable when the bloke has his arms around me etc, and I dont have to sit awkwardly :hihi:

*awaits funny comments*

I'm 5ft11 and my BF is 5ft10. I don't have a problem with it most of the time, but I love my big heels and I completely dwarf him when I wear them.
He say's he doesn't mind me wearing heels, it gives him a chance to see me from another perspective. I think it's a polite way of saying it brings my boobs up to eye level :hihi:

I'm 6' 4" & love being tall. I'd also like to say everything is in proportion :heyhey:

Most of my past GFs have been shorter than me. Like, how many tall girls are there in Sheffield? (Not counting high heels!) Not seen many.

I tend to go for shorter men, I find they have a cheeky sense of humour.

I'm 5'5" and half so I like a man around 6'

I'm 6'3, then I usually wear heels when I'm going out in the evening too.

will you paint my gutters for me?

I don't know many (apart from me, of course!).

Easy answer- no.

If you mean what I think you mean you're completely incorrect.

You may be the exeption to the tall man / longer .. rule

I don't know many (apart from me, of course!).

Well, that's one person then! :)

I completely agree:thumbsup: I will probably get into so much trouble now:hihi: I am tall, but my g/f is taller and likes wearing high heels, I have no problems at all with that.

The strange thing is I have a long body and relatively small legs (28"-29" inside leg) if I had legs as long as my girlfriend I would be 6' 8" (and would have a permanent headache from hitting my head on the wooden beam in my flat!!)

I am probably sooo dead now that I had better shut up

I like being smaller than a man even when I'm wearing 3inch heels lol!

Well, in my case women don't like taller men, i'm approximately 6'5 barefoot (used to be 6'7 but i've shrunk somehow) :help:

Perhaps i'm just not hunky enough (at all) :hihi:

I'm average height (5' 5'') though like my men to be much taller, ideally. My bloke is 6'. It's simply the look I prefer.

As I've said before, short men try harder...

Tall men don't have to... ;)

Good point. I like blokes who try.

Good point. I like blokes who try.

I'm very trying...apparantly :|

It's the protective thing (along with the broad shoulders).

I'm considered quite tall in my community at only 5'6. The number of guys my parents introduced me to that were around my height or shorter :|

Finally found my bloke, who at 6ft is perfect :love:

I have to admit there is something nice about snuggling up under the duvet with a girl that's shorter than you. Quite comfy!

I hope you don't mind me doing this Kamble......I'll just post another link so you ladies who prefer tall men will get a better appreciation of the height difference between the bride and the groom:-

i have been out with 1 taller women than me i am 5.7 and one the same height as me
i never felt threatened by them at all

LoL - you would if you met me or Medusa !!

You just feel more safe and secure.

Im 5ft 6 ish and bf is 5ft10.

I just feel like he's my big security blanket when im in his arms :)

I feel threatened from here! :P

Sounds perfect to me !

Easy answer- no. he did not pull there :hihi: then

eh i dint want to pull, wanted mi gutters painting by a tall bird in short skirt. the short skirt is for health and safety reasons :D

Good job you didn't want to pull- cos I'm already taken (and thankfully he understands that tall women have their advantages).

Men HAVE to be taller than their women....well they have to give you SOME reason for you to look up to them:hihi:

it makes no difference to me at all, both smaller and taller have their own advantages, my long term ex was 6 ft 4, and i'm 5 ft 1, it did used to make me feel safe in a way. The last guy that i was with was 5 ft 3, and in intimate situations we were able to get much closer which was nice, it's all good ;)

well ..........I just manage to scrape in at 5ft ...( just ):blush:
but my fella is 6ft with big broad shoulders too ! uumm !!! nice !! :love:

clare :wave: x

Ah, little clare. Only 5ft. But a nice fella at 6ft. Do you stand on a stool love for snogging sessions ?

Good job you didn't want to pull- cos I'm already taken (and thankfully he understands that tall women have their advantages). so your gutters are well maintained :heyhey:

Yes, clare of course. ;)

i love tall men, i've attempted to date shorties and I can't do it. My ex was over 6ft and i loved that, cuddling into their waist when you walk lol (im 5'4) my current boyfriend is taller than me but I don't know how tall and he's a good height, comfy to kiss :)

I'm not THAT tall- my gutters are 25 feet from the ground!

well at least you won't be a little old lady, which used to be my fear, as I get older I shall wear higher and higher heels

i'm about 5'6/5'7, so not tall, but i console myself with the knowledge that i'm the same height as Tom Cruise...(ok, he may be considered slightly better looking by some and perhaps he's got a few quid more than me, but still!) ;)

I prefer taller men. I have been out with guys smaller than me but it just feels plain wrong. I don't really have much of an explanation really.
Having said that my fella is 'just' shorter than me, which means I won't wear heels when we go out, cos then I would be taller and it would be weird!

Im 5ft 6 and my girlfriend is 5 ft 9. we have no problems, we've been together 3 years now and never had a single argument or falling out whatsoever, and the height thing has never bothered either of us. If people think its wrong then they can get stuffed, they dont know what they are missing if they are limiting themselves to a minority of the genepool

Hear hear! If someone has a problem with my height then that's their problem not mine. It's not as though I could change it to please them anyway- but I wouldn't want to change it (ok, so maybe under 6' would be easier for buying clothes- but then I'd have to find people in crowds the same as everyone else, and lose half the storage space in my kitchen!).

It isn't wrong. People go for what they're attracted to. If a short (or tall) bloke doesn't do it for them, then they'll choose someone who does (taking into account personality etc etc ).

Not everyone in the gene pool is a woman's (or blokes's) potential mate, as they're not all equally attractive to that person. People will always limit themselves to a small proportion of the gene pool, due to many other factors than height.

I didnt say it was wrong. Theres a difference between being attracted to it or not. I mean i know people who have fancied someone, but not gone out with them because they were too tall/short, and were pretty much more bothered about how it looks to others then how they would be together. Its shallow in that case.

I didnt say it was wrong. ...
I didn't say you did. You said: "If people think its wrong then they can get stuffed". I was (sort of) agreeing with you.

Too right. Nothing whatsoever to do with them or anyone else. I like your attitude.

Quite possibly.


As I said earlier, my ex was a good 17ins taller than me. One of his parents commented on the difference in our heights saying we would look stupid together. :(

Being 5” 2” all men are taller than me anyway but I do find that I get a crick in my neck if I have to reach up too far.
:)

I'm a shorty but my fella is 6ft 3 which is handy for changing lightbulbs without getting the ladders out, good for dusting in the corners, pretty handy for cleaning windows and a right pain in the neck when walking with an umbrella!
ALways preferred fellas taller than me but it's never been an issue as most people are taller than me anyway!

Taller men lie longer in bed

Taller men lie longer in bed

i bet they do

Really, well I never knew that.!! :cool:

The 'average height' women hold their umbrellas at just my eye level, I've never understood why they make them with loads of pointed sticking out bits. I hate walking in the rain when in a heavily populated area:hihi:

I'm pretty sure the few that are of similar height to me can relate to this (John Locke, Jonnh, Medusa and Sharpsinger)

Oh yes! Umbrellas (and specifically shorter people using umbrellas and totally forgetting that they have loads of points sticking out above their heads!) are one of my pet hates. Deeply unpleasant feeling hemmed in with so many sharp things if you're in town when it's rainy.

well, I have my glasses to protect my eyes from the brollies, but it can be a trial walking down fargate in the rain, I tend to just lengthen my stride and blaze a trail, a bit like richard ashcroft in that verve video. :hihi:

I think it is... Its very nice to have a hug from a taller guy... :) Kinda makes you feel safe :)

I guess it makes me feel more feminine to have a taller man... Cant quite put it into words but I feel that I attempt to exert more power over men my own height or marginally taller and thus bossy power-mad Twinkle comes out... haha! But with a taller man I smile and giggle and get all girly haha strange!

Enter stage left... one queue of very tall chaps wishing to make twinkle go all giggly and girly :hihi:

Enter stage left... one queue of very tall chaps wishing to make twinkle go all giggly and girly :hihi:

haha well not very tall chaps... perhaps within the regions of 5ft 11 to 6ft2...
I'd have to go shopping for larger heels if the fellas were too tall! :D

Well that's me and Sharp out of the girlie/gigglying task then:hihi:

:suspect: <<< has side tracked into popping into Specsavers to ask for some umbrella proof glasses :suspect:

What gets me is those men who suffer from Small Man Syndrome! The ones who drive the massive cars, acting as though they're 'hard' down town on a night out etc. Had a mate like that once, and in the end he told me that his insecurities boiled down to him being short that he felt he needed to do something to be noticed. He was (and still is) 5'5", but still has plenty of g/f's

I'm 6'1" with a deep voice and broad shoulders. I used to be called Frank all the time (after a certain boxer), but I'm not bothered now! Water of a ducks back!

I've had women say I'm too tall and they're about 5'6"-5'7"(which I didn't get), but I suppose it all boils down to the preferences of individuals.

Good job you didn't want to pull- cos I'm already taken (and thankfully he understands that tall women have their advantages).


exactly, so will you paint my gutter?:help:
