Do girls like short guys?

Post Reply New Topic

I could 'like' shorter then me guys just fine, but... (there's always a but) I wouldn't be initially attracted to shorter then me guys.
I rock a pair of heels and I'd stand eye to eye with a 6'1-2" guy while wearing them. There's something to be said about a guy taller then me by a significant margin. *sigh*.

Heels are cheating.

Girls do like short guys! Especially the tall ones. He's 5'4" and she is 6'9"

no way he's only 5'4...she would tower over him way more. or she is not 6'9

The heels have nothing to do with it, I'd like to be able to wear them and not tower over said man like that ^, I've been told I'm intimidating enough without height coming into it too. Not that that has anything to do with it, I like height in a guy but it's not a complete deal breaker (in heels anyway.) But height is just one factor I prefer.

those heights seem about right to me

i like her.......nice abs nice smile

If any chick tries to give you grief about your height, just tell her that you're only short so that the sheer awesome inside can be more concentrated. Then proceed to say something awesome.

lol Perfect!

I have noticed men don't seem to care so much about my height and I definitely don't intimidate them. It comes down to attitude. Lots of tall women and short men seem to have a chip on their shoulder about "proving"that they can compete with people theatre "society normal". This can be seen as aggressive and not particularly attractive.

I am easily the tallest woman on here at 6'4" tall. My only issue with my height is that I wish more people were tall so that clothes are easier to come by. It is actually quite funny, the adjective most of my friends use to describe me is "cute".

My personal preference for ratings usually men over 6'8" up into the 8foot territory. They are just much more layed back as the have the same issue as me....once you get into the "freak" territory all you can do is laugh about it as it is just funny. My boyfriend is only 6'4" and he has more issues within heightthen me mostly due to bedroom issues

I prefer a man to be taller then me, but that's just me. Everyone is different.

Tom Cruz
Jonny Depp
Mel Gibson
Alex Plank
Jack Russell terriers have such an appeal

all short asses
say no more

Alex Plank? Never heard of this actor. Is he a comedian of some sort?

They are all also 1. loaded, and 2. are considered "pretty-boys," so they don't count.

I'm 5'4 All of my past and present male sweeties have been taller than me, most of them 5'10", the remainder 5'6", 5'7", 6'1", and 6'1". I felt more comfortable around those who were 5'10" and under -- possibly because the men in my family of origin are shorter than average so that's what I subconsciously think of as "family"?

BUT I also prefer dating someone who gives off the visual and tactile impression of being fit and physically stronger than me, though more the "mesomorph who exercises regularly" type of build than an "obsessive bodybuilder" one. The kind of person who stops at the gym for a bit on his way home from their software engineering, applied scientist, or academic researcher job, perhaps on his way home to engage in his creatively-oriented hobby.

That being said, my initial attraction to someone seems to be about 90% based on the type of intellect, creativity, and common interests they have, 10% physical. (Later on, sensory considerations (voice, cleanliness, their particular pheremones, the way they feel) can be dealbreakers). Almost all of them later (or sooner!) reveal that they have ADD like me, and some have turned out to be fellow Aspies as well. Actual job/lack of it/income have all been pretty irrelevant to me as I consider it my responsibility to provide for myself -- on the other hand, good communication, and anger management are a big deal.

My co-residential partner is quadruple-diagnosed with AS/ADD/major depression/anxiety disorder and manages to do all of the above, BTW. He is, predictably, 5'10" but even if he were extremely short of tall, it wouldn't matter to me -- he's awesome.

So... are you working to be as balanced and "together" intellectually, emotionally, creatively, and physically as you can stand to be? Stretching yourself to learn the best communication skills you can? Do you see women as potential friends rather than only as potential dating partners? Are you trying to date women based on looks alone, or do you show that you're interested in them as people as well even if they never, ever choose to date you? Do you like yourself, regardless of your success at dating, or lack of it, at given time?

IMO a lot of women WILL be put off (at least initially) by your height and neuro-atypicality, yes, but you can do a lot to attract some of the rest, as above. And you only need one if monogamous (or a few if polyamorous), right?

Best of luck... dating is an inherently frustrating process for everyone I know, Aspie or not.

If I had to choose between 2 guys, one 5'2 and the other 6'2, with all else being equal, I'd pick the 5'2. I'm 5'4 and I was married to a guy a foot taller than me and it drove me nuts when he patted me on top of the head.
