my boyfriends a bit shorter than me and im kinda more healthy-looking. he eats alot but he just doesnt seem to gain weight . normally i see it as the guy being taller than the girl and i love tall guys but whatever, life works like this i guess lol. i still love him :d.

does the height difference matter to you guys?

sorry im new to this blog

Well im new to here too and to me its like...no matter how tall he is if he gives you that 'special' feeling and you love him and want him den it doesn't really matter...but thats my opinion...

my boyfriend is taller than me... but then again most people are taller me so i guess it's what i'm used to. i don't think it would bother me to the point to which i would break up with my boyfriend if he were shorter than me, but i can't honestly be sure. i guess it's all a matter of what you like and are comfortable with.

I consider myself short, so if he's shorter than me, it's probably a no go. But guys that are shorter than me are few and in between.

As a fairly short (5 foot 7/8) guy, I still don't really like the imagery of a shorter guy than girl. I mean, obviously, it's not a big enough deal to determine the fate of a relationship, but still, I wouldn't generally be attracted to a girl who was taller than me. Especially because I'm slim, which kind of doubles the effect.

I dunno. whatever floats your boat, I guess. I mean, it's not less reasonable to be put off by a guy/girl's height than by any other aspect of their physical appearance, I suppose.

Sometimes height does matter. It can create confidence in somepeople such as if a guy were shorter than a girl, that can cause the guy to question his masculinity. Same thing for a girl, if she were taller than maybeshe might feel uncomfortable. Although i don't care much for height, its the personality.

I have two guy friends that are shorter than I am, and even as friends I think it's a little odd that I am taller than them. I'm not THAT much taller than them, just enough that it makes me feel werid.

I'm 5'2", and my girlfriend is 5'7". And neither of us are superficial enough to care about something like a height difference.

you guys are awesome . i need to change my attitude!

If you both like eachother, why should height matter at all? :)

lol HEIGHT DOES NOT MATTER AND NEVER WILL!! I mean as long as you guys are committed to eachother, it shouldn't even be a problem really. :P
Just don't care about what people think! If they say haha. he's shorter than you. Say Haha you're taller than me but I don't see myself liking you.

My boyfriend and I are the same height. We're both like.. 5"3. o.o Well yeah. We both stopped growing. Hahahaha

It's always better to have them taller but you know. If they're not, who gives a s~hit. XD

I dont think heigh matters much.
im 5'8 and my boyfriend is 5'6 though i swear he's 5'7
Thats not much of a difference but still if height mattered to me i wouldnt be going out with him.
Before i believed that the guy should be taller.
But my emotions had other feelings i guess : D

Why do people have the traditional feeling that men should be the tallest in the couple? I never understood it?

I guess it's the girls wanting to be protected by a bigger man so they can feel safe?

I feel like tha sometimes. It just feels nice when you can get close and he holds you. Its like you fit in his arms perfectly.

I would PREFER a taller guy.

There is nothing wrong with boyfriend's being shorter then the girlfriend.

My opinion, of course, is I'd like the guy to be taller then me.

I'm 5'4 and a half going on 5'5 so I'm pretty sure there's quite a few guys that are taller then me.

To me, I don't really think height matters. I have a friend who has a mother who is incrediably tall and her dad is just a little bit average sized. I think its cute, because I don't believe that the guy always has to be the taller one in the realtionship. As long as the girl is confiendent in herself, I don't see what the problem is. Height should not effect love!

...unless, he/she is so short that they need a ladder to kiss ya....

I hate to be shallow but i really would feel uncomfortable dating someone shorter than me. =/

I'm a sophomore 5'2 1/2 and don't let it get to me when I like a girl if they're a little taller. To me you just have to be confident, and looks help to plus I got time to grow.

I prefer having a guy taller than me. I'm about 5'4" so there aren't too many guys that are shorter than me. My boyfriend is about 5'11" and it's the perfect height difference I think.

Height still wouldn't be a deciding factor in a relationship for me. but it would be kind of strange to go out with a guy shorter than 5'4"...

personally, i'd prefer someone who's taller than me.
but i'm 5'8 so not all guys are taller than me.
but if i really love him then height shouldn't matter.

i would like to hav a guy thats taller than me, but im 6'2ish, and most guys my age are short lol. so i dont really care

<< 6'2... ...

DAYYMM... fukenn gurraaffee...

the idea of height being an important factor depends on the people. I personally refuse to date anyone shorter than me & I don't even like same height because that's short for a guy; I wear heels & I don't want to tower over the guy I'm with...midgets are not my thing...average isn't my thing. 6'0-6'6 in guys is the perfect height to me.

I don't think height is too important, but I'd prefer someone taller than me. Which I've found isn't a very hard group to fit into, seeing as I'm only 5'3"/4" tall.

fuu reel ARBY... daym... dat aintt hardd da finee boiifrrienndd huh..

Err, perfect height wise it isn't.

I find 5'6"-6'+ to be great heights for guys to be. I mean, I like 6'+ better, but I'm not too picky.

I think it's great that you love your boyfriend despite the height difference.

Honestly, I mind if my boyfriend is shorter than me. But only if he's my boyfriend. If my friends have a relationship where the girl is taller than the guy, I don't have a problem with it.

i kno

I don't think it really matters but I have a friend who absolutely will not date someone shorter than her... so I guess it can be a factor to some people. I'm usually more attracted to shorter guys anyway... they're just so cute!

lol thank you!! yah, who gives a shit

honestly for me, it depends how much shorter. the tallest guy i've ever dated was like 5'11", almost 6 feet, and the shortest was probably my height. so i really don't know what i'd do in that situation. i PREFER taller guys, but if he makes me happy & i really like him, it wouldn't matter.

height does matter 2 me.
he has to be taller than me.

I'm short, so their really is no guy shorter then me.
Except some. Right now I'm dating a guy and I'm to his chest so yeah.

He must be 5'6''+

I'm 5'5 and my boyfriend is almost a whole foot taller than me. :O He has to be either my height or taller. ><

I was wondering that too. Im 5 foot 1. Really short. Theres a girl i like but she;s aller then me so im not sure if it will work. And there is another girl who is even shorter than me. For me I dont! DONT! Want to date anyone taller than me.

Why don't you want to date anyone taller? I am 5'2" and I dated a girl who was 5'8" for a year and a half. Neither of us had any problem with it. Height's really a pretty superficial thing to be worried about.

It is a big problem for me. I'm not really self conscious about my size but it I feel so not masculine. It would just be weird to have a girlfriend and she wouldn't have that protected feeling cause im half her size.

But thankfully ive been feeling more masculine cause puberty has finally kicked and im growing taller.
And longer.

haah, I had too.

^TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

I'm not sure if I've ever been attracted to someone shorter than me (under 5'7"). It's a bit different in high school, though, because shortness usually goes along with "I don't look as old as I really am"-ness. I don't want to date someone that looks twelve.

^I am the same way. Even with guys that are an inch or two taller, if they look 14-16 I wouldn't even consider.

i think it does no matter what.. unless you don't care.

Lets say you met a guy who had all the other qualities that you want in a boyfriend, except for one problem: they're shorter than you
I'm talking, your DREAM GUY; not average at all.
What would you do?

Size doesn't matter.
If you really love him and he's your dream guy, then that shouldn't be a problem.

Topics Merged.

Well I'm a guy and I'd personally like a girl who's shorter than me but that has never happened because I'm 6'7 3/4". My tallest girl friend ever was 6'0" and my shortest was 5'4".

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

well if you were blind, it wouldnt make a difference, right?

I am still a little worried about the whole height thing. My girl, is 5'2 and im 5'1. :(

How does that not make sense?
