What is it about height? (28)
RaynewConcord, North Carolina USA99 Threads 2,400 PostsI'll admit to being a little on the short side 5'1" and a quarter. I like a woman who is close to my own height but when going thru the profiles I see that most women within my range want someone who is quite a bit taller. Any insights?

I think you are fine just the way you are, Raynew. Height is not always the best thing and I have the lumps on my head to prove it where I didn't duck in time. Thankfully, when I worked at Tyson Foods they gave me a bump hard hat. It is thinner than a construction hard hat. I have seen some of them profiles and that can change as you meet someone that has other more important characteristics about them that they are looking for. :)

RAY,
Many men have overcome many worse things and found the woman of their dreams. I have seen real ugly guys married to the prettiest women. I have seen really old men with pretty young women. One man was a burn victim, scares for a body, crippled, nubs for fingers and toes. He married an ex beauty queen.
A woman wants a man that is confident in themselves. Confidence, charm, honesty, trustworthy, truthful, loyal, romantic, attentive, goodly groomed, clean...etc...
These are the things that women really want in a real man.
Don't let you height hinder you. It's more in your mind, than it is in their eyes. And it's nothing in their heart.

Hey Raynew,you and I are the same height,actually if I must be honest,I am shrinking,so I am not 5 foot half a inch,and just think,I will be shrinking with age.
Some of the best things come in small packages,thats how I see it,and besides,I only have to dust what I can see,which isn't a hell of alot..............LMAO

I don't let the height bother me. I got over that a long long time ago. :) The question was mainly being curious. I have had my share of dates over the years.

Me personally, i am extremely short at only 4ft 11inches, but my man has to be at least 5ft8inches or taller. i just cant imagine being with someone who i can look in the face. I like to have to stretch for hugs......

I have the opposite problem, I always put flats on when I meet a man who says he is 5'8', I am taller then him....so to look right in someone's face is what I always do.....and do not mind at all......

The thing with height my friend isthat I guess some women like the thought of looking up into a mans eyes, or being able to rest your head on their chest when you are dancing or to "cuddle" and be enveloped by your man... ect.... I don't know and then also there is the whole primal basic wanting a big burly man to protect us sort of sub consciencious thing that we woman no longer want to admit is a NEED.

I think Pookie is right. I am like 5', but I want a taller man because when a tall man hugs me I like to be able to lay my head on his chest. And with the things with having a tall burley man by my side is something I like. It's like a persoanl preference for woman, it's necessiarly about the man, the tall or short is just something a woman decides that she may or may not prefer. I just like tall men myself.

I ment to say it is not about the man, himself. It is just a personal preference.

I totally agree, here. I prefer a man who's around six foot, just because of this reason. And I do feel uncomfortable... At first.... With anyone smaller. But as it was stated before, there has been much more overcome than height, and even I, tall lover myself, went out with a man just an inch taller than me (I'm 5'2")and was happy. Looks should not matter, honestly, and I believe that all the physical traits people mention are only preferences, not absolutes. And if they are absolutes, then that person is not serious about a true, loving, caring, lasting relationship. So don't worry.

Thank you ladies. You are proving something I am finding to be true here in America, women who want a taller man. If I had the big bucks, think I'd say the hell with American women and concentrate on countries in Eastern Europe like Russia and the Ukraine where the women don't care about looks. All they want is a man who doesn't drink excessively and will love them. I've lost count of the emails from tall women I have deleted from over there in one site I am in

Good golly, he asked what was it with tall men? Everyone was just trying to put their thought in on the subject. Like someone just said, it is preferences, not absolutes. If it were then it wouldn't really be about true love. the shortest man I've dated was 5'8", but he was a big guy. He weighed like 300 lbs. Some was fat, but some was muscle, because he is a veteran and when he was in the service, he done the weight training and wrestled. Everyone that each of us dates is different. I don't see why anyone would delete thier profile over these things. Oh well.
