Ok ladies,
1-how much height of a guy is important for you?
2- How much is your height?
3- is a height less than 6 feet a turn off?
4- is a height less than 5.5 feet a turn off?


I'm 5"7" and I dated a guy slightly shorter, but it didn't bother either of us. I don't have a strong preference for height, but I like it when they are closer to my level, as in more eye-to-eye, so within a few inches of my own height is best. I have dated taller men too, however.

I'm done with this thread -- keep telling yourself that there are no differences in people, and that everyone is mentally balanced, and that their physical being has nothing to do with their social life, preferences, or how they perceive the world (and how the world perceives them). Maybe if you tell yourself and the world the big lie long enough, everyone will believe it. I've lost interest in listening to the yapping anymore.


This is a strong correlation between a man's height and behaviour. Many people know of small-man-syndrome. It is easy to explain. It is well known scientifically that shorter men have less children all in all. If a short man does have luck in the dating game, he is either an alpha male or a jerk. Those guys have children that inherit the same characteristics. Short woman will not inherit this condition because they are not under same pressure.

It is not that short guys consciously over compensate for being short , but only short men with the most desirable characteristic have children

I prefer men near to my height. Im 5ft 3 ish and my bf is about the same or a inch or so taller, Im taller than him in heels so he must be very near to my height.

Its very great and means we dont have to hurt our necks when kissing and our hands are at the perfect place for holding, we can look at each others faces with ease and best of all it makes sex standing up so easy!! ! Its nice at night as well as we can rub feet in bed and we can share the bath easily.

It just makes me feel closer that we are the same height and see the world from the same view.

the problem... is that there is no correlation... there is no statistical connection between a man's height and any personality characteristics... in fact, according to published research, tall men are more likely to be aggressive, not short men.

1. Absolutely don't care about height of people. It's what's inside their heads that matters to me.
2. 5'7''
3 and 4: See 1.

I'm 5'11, 170 but I've always been skinny.. it's only been recently I started working out and even so I appear thin. To me height isn't relevant at all, I like girls who are short or tall..

I did do a google search and I did find evidence social characteristics are effected.

Just read that and it makes sense. Although I don't get how average sized women are the envy of small women. From my experience small women are the most sought after. I wish I was short and delicate.

As for short men, I do agree. I've only known of one guy who is short (5'5") who doesn't have short man syndrome and is the most laid back guy I know.

The shortest guy in school had short man syndrome really really bad. I don't know that many short men but it makes sense from a scientific point of view.

I've known short women (5'1" or less) who were quite insecure about their height. It may be grass-always-greener syndrome. I don't know how strong their feelings or if they constitute anything near a majority.

Ok ok , fine.

< ---- Look , I am the Face of Boo , I must be angry and Booing at the world , I must have the Short man syndrome too!

All of us (the short men) are bullies , insecure and angry. All of us have Short man syndrome regardless of how our personalities differ, whether we are the nice type or the jerk type or the successful type or the loser type ....all these differences are lies ....fake masks....deep down , we short men are all the same , same personality : grudgy and want to destroy the world.

But we are exposed by billsmithglendale , hale_bopp , Chav and a study backing them. Our secret is no more secret.

Our secret slogan is:
"We are the the Short Men. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." (with a zombie walk)

the slogan of our elites is:

"Braaaaiiiiins"


Hmm the Short man syndrome is no more fun , nothing to be debated about it.

Let's switch to the Blonde syndrome.

I sure am insecure about it.. also bitter because I was supposed to be much taller, but didn't grow as much as I could because of an unrelated illness.

I don't think it necessarily is about the grass being greener as much as different things for different people. If I wanted to look neat or feminine or something then I'd be happy, and I'm sure there's plenty of women my height who's perfectly content. But I don't. I'd have liked being athletic and although I could always get stronger, height is a clear advantage in most sports. I also think I'd be taken more seriously if I was taller. And also out there is probably a woman of the height I'd want to be who thinks she'd look better my height.

It's just an unfortunate side effect of not being born with looks that reflect your personality.

Faces tend to be short in comparison with people in possession of a full set of body pieces.

I guess the summary of nine pages is that beggars CAN be choosers.

The shortest guy in school had short man syndrome really really bad. I don't know that many short men but it makes sense from a scientific point of view.

so it looks like the evidence for and against short man syndrome is equally balanced:

-one study shows taller men are more aggressive
-one study shows no correlation between height and personality
-one study shows that shorter men are more jealous

the studies were looking at different aspects of personality. the study that supported short man syndrome was looking at whether short men are jealous of taller men (shown to be true), and the study that did not support short man syndrome looked at whether short men are more aggressive than taller men (not shown to be true).

both studies can be accepted as supporting common sense... short men are generally more jealous of taller men, but that jealousy doesn't lead to aggressive behaviour.
