Is this always the case?

do girls only go for height and nothing else when looking for a partner?

i am 5ft10 by the way.

of course that's not true.

Yes, I keep a tape measure in my purse for just such purposes. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Actually, when I was younger, my "go to" preference was someone my height (I'm a skosh under 5'6") but broadly built. As I've gotten older I don't look at specific traits so much any more, and I can be attracted to a wide variety of people. It's all a matter of who you feel comfortable with. My ex-husband is 6'1", and that sometimes seemed too tall for me (though I didn't really think about his height when we got married).

I am not small but i know some girls can find short sweet guys kinda cute. i think tall men are more suited to the alpha male role more than small men.

as for me i am average height.

As far as your OP goes, what Emlion said: of course not.

I *do* think in general women prefer men who are just a little taller than they are - If you can see eye-to-eye when she's in heels I think that's the ideal.

But again, PLEASE don't think that women are all the same in *any* regard, it's just stupid...

Exactly. If some guy is perfect for her but he's a little short she won't dismiss him.
Surely the same as if a girl is a little tall/short a guy won't just dismiss her.

I just wanted the guy to be taller than me.
I'm 5'3" tall.
*shrug*

A 5'11 girl rejected me for a 6'4 guy. She actually said to me "Sorry i prefer tall men"

No, it is not true that women only go for males who are at least 6 feet tall. If that were true, then all of the shorter men would have disappeared from the gene pool within a few generations. Obviously, the shorter men are reproducing just fine.

As an Aspie you would have bigger problems getting a date than just your height, anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it so much.

Ariel so is it going to be impossible for me to get a date?

Please don't take any of this personally but I'm going to straight talk:
She said that because she's not attracted to you. It doesn't mean you're not attractive. Even she may be able to identify that you're attractive or sweet or whatever it is that would make you desirable to someone. Still, she's not attracted to you. She picked height because that's easy and something you can't change. You will always be 5'10" and she will always require a man who's at least 6'. Case closed. If she did find you attractive, it's likely she would have made an exception on her height preferences. Lots of women do. All that happened here was that one girl wasn't feeling it with you. There are lots more girls and lots more opportunities. Try to understand that it just wasn't going to happen and move on.

thanks for that. I'd love to be 6ft4 though. Instead i am stuck with the boring and less than perfect height of 5ft10.

wefunction because of my AS how hard will it be for me to get a date?

I'm 6 feet tall, and I don't feel like I have any sort of advantage in this regard.

In fact I wish I were a little shorter, sometimes when I'm hugging a girl (it does happen occasionally) I look down and all I see is hair.

It's like trying to make out with Cousin Itt from the Addams Family



PS I love short girls! Just sort of a funny observation I've had...

I think 6'4" is too tall.

I don't think it'll be hard for you to get a date. I think dating becomes easier in your twenties and, if memory serves from another thread, I think you've just entered your twenties. But asking girls out can be a numbers game. You may be rejected more than you're comfortable with... and it's really okay. It doesn't mean you're a bad person. It's better to have a girl know right away that it's not going to work than to waste your time and money on an agonizing evening with someone you end up not liking. You'll get plenty of those, too.

Even though I am not that tall i do get paid quite good money.

I do earn a buck or two from a very small job of being a keanu reeves lookalike. I even dress up in the matrix suit as well LOL.

Jamesy, women worth having in your life don't give a crap what you earn. They just want you to be happy.
