Okay ladies, I need input. I never thought of height until I had a tall boyfriend. Now I am very conscious of it. What I'm thinking is men lie by about 2 inches about their height. 2 inches matters if you want to wear heels and it's a lie not stating true height if it's on the questionaire.

Maybe I'll bring a tape measure with me when meeting a newbie next time. One of the pro for old fashioned way of meeting - sight seen.

Hubby is 1 foot taller than me, so I'm used to the height thing. I run when he walks!! :lmao:

My ex was an inch or so taller never thought about it. Until now, 6 years later and past a taller significant other. Admittedly, I'm prejudiced for a taller guy. I guess I want reassurance that it doesn't make be a bad.

Any man shorter than I is a nugget. I have an aversion towards short men, I don't know why, but I once heard women tend to be more attracted to tall men. I never could stand Tom Cruise, who wants to kiss a guy and have to bend over holding your hair back like your drinking from a water fountain.:smoochy:

Hubby and I are the same height (5'11). I'd prefer him to be taller (somewhere around 6'2) and he'd prefer me to be shorter (but only because he thinks he'd be better at controlling me). My dad and brother are both well over 6 feet so I'm more comfortable dealing with tall men. I tell hubby he's short for a guy, IMHO. :ohwell:

Maybe as I get older, I'll start shrinking and we'll both get our wish.

I am 5'7'' and my boyfriend is 5'11''. When I wear heels, I am very close to his height and I am self conscious about it; I always have been about my height. I think the reason is because I lived in Japan when I was younger and I towered over all of them, even the men (I have been the same height since 6th grade). A lot of my friends now are about 5'2'' - 5'4''... I still feel like the bionic woman.

My boyfriend did make me feel better by saying height makes me different... makes me attract the eye.

why would someone lie about their height? not like it's easy to see they are bsing...

I'm 5'2" and proud to be short. :yahoo:

Beats me, but lying two inches off seems like a lot. I'm more precisely 6'1.5" but I usually say 6'2". My boss is more like 6'2.25" but he also says 6'2" but it's obvious he is taller than me.

I'm 5'2" and proud to be short. :yahoo:

And you're such a cute 5'2".

i know...i'm 5'11" but i've never said i'm 6' as much as I would love to...my lil brother is 6'5" and my dad was 6'4"

mom however is a towering 5'5" FML...

Men will always lie about 2 inches. :killingme

Is this the Keebler Elf thread...:confused:
I guess you could say that.

Short wimmins can handle bigger :gossip:

I always thought this was standard procedure for most women.




Maybe it's just the kind of women I used to get involved with.

how many times did you get caught lying about those 2 inches? :roflmao:

I'm 5' 3.5" or 5' 3.75" and I go with 5'4". It's amazing how many grown women have made me stand back to back and told me I'm tiny, I'm not that tall. It's amazing how many of those women get proved wrong. :lol: When you're short and small of frame people see you as much smaller than you are. I'm not short, you're just hefty! :dye:

Never... I've always been honest and forthcoming about my five inches.









5 inches around.

I'm 5' 3.5" or 5' 3.75" and I go with 5'4". :dye:

I'm 5' 5.5" and I've always said I was 5' 5". My daughter is 5'2" on a tall day, and she always says she's 5'4". I've been telling her for most of her life, she's not 5'4". I've proven it to her several times, she still says she's 5'4". When we stand next to each other, it's very obvious there is a significant difference. Oh well........ :killingme

I'm not short, you're just hefty! :dye:
Oh my. :lol: Is 5'4" not considered short?

We don't have anybody that little in my family. :lol:

My daughter is holding at 5' 7"... she wants so bad to hit 5' 8". Wait 'til I tell her her dating field is expanded if she stays at 5' 7". :jet:

I went to HS with a girl who was 5"11" and her bf was 5'6" their senior year. They looked odd. But a year or two later he got up to 5'9" and it only looks odd when she's in heels. He HATES when she wears heels. For whatever reason she insists on it. It puts 5 or 6 inches between them. No clue why she puts that man thru that agony. :lol:

It's short but it's not that short. I think average is like 5'5".

My niece is 6'2". Now she had some slim pickens'. :killingme 34 and still picken' thru them.

I hope she's not looking for any guy over 6'... It's been my observation the taller the guy the shorter the woman he ends up marrying...:ohwell:

I'm 5'11" and Dustin's 5'9" (maybe a smidge taller). We look fine together, but I never wear heels.

My dad is 6'4" and my mom is 5' even. :lol:

Great friends with a 'shorter' guy. He always said in his defense (about a zillion times a day)
THE LAWS OF VERTICALLITY DO NOT MATTER IN A HORIZONTAL POSTITION!

My wife is 6 foot even and as I like to tell people - the *shortest* person in her family (although as her parents age, that may change).

My dad is 5'10' which as I understand is around average. My mom is about 5'5" which is also around average. But I tell you, after being around my wife's family so much, I began to look at my immediate family as *short*. I'm the tallest in my family at 6'2", but I never even noticed height until the two families were side by side.

It's funny to me that women have such a preference for taller men, and that men tend to prefer shorter women. I was just the opposite - very much preferred taller women, and had a mild disdain for women I considered too tiny for me. (At some level, that's a shame, because I knew some wonderful women whose only "flaw" was their size). I also still tend to prefer women with a bit of heft, and I can't understand men who have to date dreadfully thin women.

But I'm glad I'm married to Bluejay. On more than one occasion we've had to carry something heavy, or she's heaved something heavy onto her shoulders, and I've quietly said "thank God my wife is strong".

It's not so much that short men are not attractive. It's more the complex they all carry. Angry little men. I always think of trolls.

I share your exact opinions on this matter. I am 6'4" and still holding out for a taller woman. I can not seem to find much around here over 5'7".

Hubby is 6'4 and I am 5'5 or 5'6. I am use to being the short one.

5' 2" :howdy:

5' 2" :howdy:I always knew I was taller. :neener:

I always knew I was taller. :neener:

Not by much. :razz:

When it comes to affairs of the heart...........height is not important.....:yay:

Short Man Syndrome, dais bitter :killingme

Tall women want tall men, short women want tall men. That is the way of things. The heart doesn't matter.

what are you trying to say ?

5' 2" :howdy:

Same here! I've dated guys from 5'7' to 6'2. I go by the person and not the height.
