Yeah sure... but I guess that it has it's limits in terms of practicality. Besides; if I were to limit myself to date someone who is exactly my height, it would be impractical either.

I like tall women more than short women. Though it should be proportioned correctly. Don't want to date a pair of stilts, lol. As for practicality... I probably wouldn't be that interested in dating someone who is well over 7 foot. It's just quite impractical. I notice height issues with myself a bit and even more with my dad. I'm about 6'2/6'3-ish... my dad is 6'6 and he has some issues with his bed and adjusting the car till no end when he has to drive. It's not something I'd be that interested in when dating someone. Nor would I be that interested in putting everything a foot closer to groundlevel so my partner can reach it. But that's practical stuff.

As for attraction, I like tall women like I said... but that's not all there is to it.
 
well i'm a 5 ft 2 guy and I would date a taller woman since there are a lot more woman who are my height or taller then there are shorter woman.

It seems like shorter guys are more likely to date taller woman and taller woman are more likely to date shorter guys. Because if your a tall enough woman, you have to date someone who is shorter since there isn't a lot of taller guys.


Also it seems that height wise, woman are more picky than men. Especially if the woman is around average height or shorter. Most woman that are average height are not going to be initially attracted to guys that are shorter than them.


There are plenty of girls who wouldn't mind dating short guys. I'm not sure if there are a lot of woman who wouldn't mind dating shortER guys.

Basically I don't judge on that. Yes I find smaller girls attractive, which a problem in my country, but not in the rest of the eorld. But I guess it is more of a convidence feeling. And maybe because a short girl, is complitely immune to any weight difference effect. But I really really go for the inside. And I am just going to have to accept the outside that inside was given this lifetime. :P.

But as I said, it does have a confidence effect. You are not so much worried about what the other might think, or worse society might think. So at most it seems to be a choose the path of least resistance thing. But otherwise........well I wrote already. ps. when I say society, they go a bit easier in lenght things. More or less implying all the other things. But I think I just declared 'war' on society, so that should be solved now to. :P
 
Of course, as long as they aren't more than a head higher than me there's no problem. Plus, if she was incredible I wouldn't mind her being far taller than me.
 
I remember knowing this very tall, at least 1.90 super beautifull blond woman. We had a lot of fun with her. She was a friend of a friend of mine. All I seem to remembrr where the descriptions of the reactions of men when they saw here. I was to young to understand the details. But apperantly these men did know what happened to them. Somewhere between awe and scared to death. :P.

I respond basicslky to, 'if she was imcredable'. She had a good sense of humor to. I guess that is how she learned to deal with the situation I think. All I remember is the first glimps how pathetic men can be. :P.. I am trying to remember as much as I can. Not directly an personal answer to the question. But maybe still of intrest for people. Bevause that was an extreem rare situation. And all I remember where how we laughed about the reactions of men. I can tell you, they didn't come over as very strong and confident then. :P.

So I guess ehat I feel the message I experienced is, if you are short for a man. Or tall for a woman, it might not make life easier. But thrust me, if you see the pathetic behsvior in the other. Really, that is where the problem is. So maybe a more intrestimg question would be. I know we humans are who we are. But would be willing to change. Could we change? And if so how.

Or are we so fantastic the way we are, because obvious when you run into the perfect woman, but you can't deal with it. That is the best, or at lesst most adapted way to be. :P

sorry if I am wrong, but I don't think any body here has two extreems so strong in ky life.

ps I don't know how tall it was. Might have been more than 2 meters. But I didn't measure. :P
 
Height taller or shorter is not on my list for what I seek in a woman. It's mainly that we share interests and work together towards a common goal.

Sadly most women don't like final fantasy and RPGs with a hint of history loving as well as checking on historical sites
 
Being 6'4" women taller than me are rare enough that I've never actually met one. I don't think it would stop me if I was interested, but I can't say for sure.
 
My home area was full of short and squatty people. Thick bodied, bow-legged, and generally low to the ground. While I would have quite happily dated some of those little guys, they were very intimidated by me being about six inches taller than them. so that was a no-go and I never went on a single date with anybody from my territory. Very rarely, I'd find a guy that was the "normal" height taller than me in other towns and counties. Ya know the ratio, the girl comes up to about the chin or the nose on her man. That was very attractive, I wasn't used to looking up to men that wasn't my grandfather! But, I ended up with a guy that is about a half-inch taller. I love it too, he is literally "just my size". It has provided endless hours of fascination for me comparing our hands and feet and shoulders and hips and other parts, as if we're the perfect representation for male and female counterparts for our height. It also makes shopping much easier, we wear the same size pants. The only difference is that I like carpenter pants and he doesn't! :yum:
 
Height doesn't say much to me when looking for someone (apart from preserving the species, as Darwin's theory said haha).

I personally have always dated taller men but for no particular reason... Well, perhaps the fact that I'm 1.56 m tall (something like 5.12 ft I guess) is a good reason. I even dated almost 2 m guys (had to stand quite a lot of jokes about that) and believe it or not, height wasn't the first thing I noticed in them.
I'd rather look for someone sharing the same interests, that I can have a nice talk with about anything, etc.
 
I don't date, so height becomes an irrelevant consideration in that context. Would I make friends with a taller woman that might develop into a deeper relationship? I've already done that before.

I don't believe in making lists of traits and behaviors in looking for in a mate. So I don't carry a measuring tape either. :p
 
I actually used to be attracted exclusively to smaller men. Then the guy I actually fell for was large. Personality trumps everything.

I think what you say is very beautiful, and the deeper message. I don't think we judge on height. But it is like a search term where we focus our search. Where we focus our efforts. We set the domain of our search area. But that is not a hard limit. I remember, nobody good online, widen the sewrch. :P. About if personality is the key factor. Close, but i feel it. It is how somebody makes us feel about our self. Does that person make stronger or weaker. Wil that person increase or degrees my survival changes. That is the deciding factor i suspect. The rest, just search terms.

Your territory wouldn't be Mordor, would it?

:D
 
I'm about 150cm so being on the shorter side I don't have a lot of options in that department. (But if Peter Dinklage comes knocking, I'll give him a go ;))

Heh, the accent can certainly be just as incomprehensible! And some of them are pretty heavy drinkers... Hrm, my locals can go either way. Does this mean I'm surrounded by Harves or Dwobbits?

Well, if I guess correctly and brawls and such break out, I'd lean towards dwarves. Hobbits sound clannish but very peaceful.

'Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!'

But as far as a tall woman dating a short man or shortness in general, I like this saying:

'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.'
