    I was just wondering if it mattered to you whether the person you are dating is taller or smaller than you. I am pretty small (5'2) and I know I would prefer dating someone taller than me, like way taller. What about you ?

    I'm 6'4 and I prefer dating smaller guys, because I find them cute :slight_smile: Though it is not like a requirement obviously. I have a Spanish friend who is like 6'7 and I wouldn't mind um, doing stuff, if he wasn't straight XD

    Currently I have no BF but if I had to be picky, I'd like someone under 6ft. I've dated a 5'3 guy once (but ended up becoming friends instead after a few weeks).

    Doesn't matter to me honestly. I'm like ~190 cm which is about 6ft 2 / 6ft 3. My boyfriend has to stand on tiptoes to give me a kiss. Never bothered me at all, I think it's cute. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I always found moments like that to be awkwardly cute :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It doesn't matter to me. I'm also 5'2", but I don't mind someone my height, or a bit smaller. Most of my crushes have been taller though. I don't like extremely tall women I guess......I'm thinking more like someone 5'4" being ideal.

    I'm right at 6' it really does not matter to me too much although ideally I guess someone within a few inches of my height (shorter or taller) would be best.

    Women have to be shorter, men have to be as tall as me, or taller. At 5'10.5", it's hard to find men with the body type I'm into, who are taller than me. When dating a woman, I want to be the protector, meaning I want to be bigger/taller. When dating men, I want to feel protected, so he has to be bigger/taller than me. Don't get me wrong, I've dated smaller/shorter guys before, and it didn't bother ME, but it did bother THEM that I am taller. And let's be honest, aesthetically, it just looks better (in hetero couples) when the guy is taller/bigger than the woman. In non-hetero couples, it doesn't matter as much, but in all honesty, I will feel intimidated if I were to date a woman taller than myself :grin:

    I have no preference. My current BF is close to the same height as me. But the difference actually come from arm length. I have long arms and he has short arms, so I usually have to bend my arm a little when we're walking together holding hands :lol:

    I usually like taller guys more but my ex was 5'2" (I'm 5'11") and it didn't ever bother me.

    I'm ~ 6ft 4. Not many people are taller than me especially in Hawaii. Most people i've fancy'd have been at least a good 6 inches or more shorter than me. The person I like at the moment is almost a foot shorter. I'm so used to being around people that it'd be weird to date someone taller but I don't care either way.

    I would prefer someone shorter than me, but that's nearly impossible to find (I'm 5'5, so not many guys are shorter than that).

    I think I would just like if he wasn't over 6 feet tall. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter.

    I'm 4'11, just about 5ft and the height of my girlfriend wouldn't really bother me.

    Doesn't matter a huge amount, although maybe same height or slightly shorter is ok. I'm 5'10", and my boyfriend is about 5'8" or 7" or so

    I'm around 6'3 ish (190 cm). I don't really know what I'd prefer in the long run because I've been attracted to guys both way shorter and taller than me. I guess it doesn't really matter that much as long as we like each other.

    It doesn't really matter. I'm pretty tall though, so I think itd be difficult to find a guy taller than me aha

    I am 6'3 but I prefer guys that are a little smaller. However if they are too small it feels like I'm dating my little brother so 5'11 is the minimum. of course if you fall in love by accident you can't control, but it's just a preference
