How Short/Tall?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'2". DH is about 5.5". If I were new on the dating scene, 5'8" is about perfect. 6' and over is too tall.

Haha! I'm a PP in this thread (preferred short guys when I was younger but now prefer tall guys) and same here! He was as big around as a coke can! Your guy didn't happen to have the initials HR?

Funny. This was my experience too. Super endowed guy was 5'8". Still "dream" about him. Well, part of him...

I'm 5' 9 1/2", married a guy who is 5' 11 1/2".

I prefer women with big boobs. Could never date or marry a flat-chested woman.

How funny! This must be the case with short guys fairly often.

I'm a 5'9 guy. Back in my single years I only dated thin women with a C cup or greater. Worked out great.

Apart from his massive manhood, smartest and most in tune man I've ever been with. Totally self confident, in control, very experiemced and capable, but also with a sense of humor and heart and self deprecating; never a braggart or cold or unavailable. Bona fides confidence as a man and a lover -- he knew he was as good as he was on both counts, and wanted to (and did, in spades) share the wealth. A hugely giving and adventurous person.

He did not believe in monogamy, however. Didn't think it was "natural". I agree with him in many respects, though subscribe to monogamy for the sake of family and marital longevity, so, well, you know. I can't blame him, frankly, with his sex drive and hunger for women, and all kinds of intense experience. If the interest in monogamy had been there, I think he would have been the one.

You're describing my ex! I still fantasize about him sometimes. Do you ever miss that FULL feeling?

I married a 5'6" guy. He has a bit of a Napoleon complex.

The shortest guy I dated was 5'2" (I am 5'6"). That was a little odd. He always wanted to sit with his arm draped over my shoulders. But he was so short that when he got his arm up there, I felt like it was pulling my shoulder down too much. Other than that -- his height was not really an issue.

All in all, I prefer a guy 5'10 or over. But it comes down to so much more than height when finding a life partner.

Uh oh, you're going to piss off a lot of hypocrites.....prepare for the onslaught!

Who will be pissed off and who is a hypocrite? Did the OP not ask about height? It's well known most men don't like fat women, I don't think that comes as any surprise.

It is the exact reason why a man would choose a thin woman with an eating disorder and issues and stay with her over someone who was 20 pounds overweight

And women would do the same. I would take a guy who was starving himself or roiding out in the gym over an extra 20. The weight attacks go both ways, cupcake.

And I'm a slim woman with an a cup. Only date guys who are 6 feet plus. Works out great.

Same here. Ended up with a man 6'3".

Our boys will probably be a bit taller than that. We wanted tall kids.

I had several boyfriends who were around 5'5", 5'6" and married one of them. Now that I'm middle aged and single again, I've learned to like the tall guys and have dated a couple of guys over 6 feet.

But- but- but... I thought all women's dating prospects dried up like a prune left in the sun as soon as they hit 30, let alone middle age!

PP, there are going to be some very angry men chiming in in 3, 2, 1 about how it's not true because no man will date an older women and blah blah blah...

But from a younger woman, I say get it girl!!!

I'm not the PP, but it's easy to ignore those posters because I know they're not telling the truth. The single or recently attached women in my circle prove that wrong. Someone repeating it over and over again on a message board doesn't make it true.
