I was having a discussion with a female friend of mines about the significance of tallness in a relationship. I understand that some women have a preference for men that are tall. A lot of women prefer to have a man 6'0 or taller. Which is the same sentiment my female friend has. But in reality there are only 14.5% men in the U.S. that meet that height. Which means that someone isn't going to get their Christmas wish. But in defense for the bros. who aren't near that height (including myself). I asked her what does a man's height have to do with their relationship. She couldn't give a reasonable answer. Now I know that's a preference that some females have but a lot of them hold on to that preference as if it is a deal breaker. Ive heard of females not wanting to be with a man that's not physically fit also but that makes more since to me than holding out for a tall guy. I guess my question is.... If you had to choose between a guy your height or shorter that has an athletic build or a man that's taller than you with average fit to overweight fit. Which would you choose to date?

Man that's taller than me, only because of how short I am...
For women, height is just another variable that, in our minds, equates to security and "strength" in a man. I know the argument doesn't logically hold up, but, hey, it's our way of thinking...

It's just a matter of personal preference, the same way some men prefer women with big booty and some prefer boobs.
Personally, I wouldn't date a guy shorter than me, or barely my height because I'm pretty short. Some of the short men I've encountered have Napoleon complexes.. and I just like looking up INTO his eyes, not down ..lol

I could care less...mines is shorter than me though...
the answer is pretty clear
id chose a tall fit/overweight guy over a mini muscleman any day
lmaooooo
Let me clear this up real quick for you...
That whole it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog shit...throw that out.
All a woman wants to know point blank is can you put it down. Physically, emotional, monetarily, whatever. As long as you put confidence out then you will recieve results. Don't matter what her preference is.
But before you play yourself understand that overcoming a woman's preference is like throwing a bomb to a one armed wide reciever!
They gonna drop that ball most of the time but when they pull it in it's going to be one hell of a catch!

Answered it in my first sentence, buddy...
How short are you Women anyway?
I'm slightly over 5'5 and I have a love for heels that are 3 or more inches
In principle, it's obviously a question of preference. But I'm gonna have to c/s what Andey said. Makes the most sense, in practice. Given the statistics that is.
Oh and by the way ... you guys are short as fok!
Interesting how SS's response is curiously absent from this thread ...

I'm 5'8 and when i stand next to somebody thats 6'0 there is hardly any difference. I'm laughing my ass off I dont blame a 5'0 female wanting a tall guy but saying he has to be 6'1 is bullshit. If women wanna have height requirements cool, it will only make us men have fat roll requirements and believe you me some of you women start to look like the michelin man by age 30 so while your tripping about height, worry about those fat rolls on ya neck and the cottage cheese on ya ass, and the 3 life preserve rolls on ya sides.
The stage has been set and all of the players (or playettes) are present. I still feel like dude's question hasn't been answered. He said he knew all about how most women have a preference (whatever that means) for tall men. But then he asked a question at the end.
So I'm going to make it more interesting and ask it in another way. Say you are dating two dudes. Same kind of personality, decent job, in most things they are on par with each other. Except one, one dude is tall (for argument's sake lets say he's over 6') but a little chubby and the other dude is short (let's say he's 5'8) but fit and in shape. They both want to get into a committed relationship with you at the same time.
Who you goin' with?

I can understand that.
Even though I luv tall model types, I don't really holla at them unless they just outright choose me.
And even then, looking up at your lady is kinda awkward.
I fixed this for you because short is 5'5 and under.

First off fok you Sean
Secondly,I have dated men from 5'4 to 6'7",so height doesnt matter to me. Im 4'11", so anything above that is tall to me.
Nah, leave it at 5'8, because to some females anything under 6'0 is short. I want it to literally be "not that much of a difference." This is what will make it interesting. If it's something like 5'4, it's obvious what the choice will be.
This tall chick (she was like 5'11) broke it down to me. She said tall dudes tend to be more confident, she felt more secure with them, and don't have napolean complexes. Plus when she rocked heels i was still taller than her which she liked. You can't be mad at chicks for having preferences. Look at how much niggas talk about tits and ass here.
Being 5'11", I can understand what you're saying on the other end of the spectrum. Before I was married, I dated men who were the same height or 2-3 inches shorter than me. As for the preference, I'm a face person for the most part so it doesn't matter if he's built like a warrior, if the face isn't there and he doesn't have some other endearing qualities, I'd more than likely pass.
Wouldn't you like to know
Nah, I'm short...like, under 5'5...
First off fok you Sean

Thanks for answering,
I'm 6'0" according to my state ID. Reality, I am 5'11" 3/4's SMH
Who puts it down better??
I've never met a girl who has explicitly said, " I will only date a man six feet and over" but they will say I want a man taller than me ... no matter what their height
Who puts it down better??
Say no more! That's why you're special!

Pygmy?
I think the confidence the dude has is more important than the height itself...in college, I had a roommate who was 5'5 (we used to call this nigga Earl Boykins) and he always had a shitload of broads b/c he had a boatload of confidence.
I'm 6'1, and the tallest broad I've ever dated was 6'0...she was tellin me that she didn't date guys shorter than her, I was like
A broad might say she wants a nigga 6'0 and over, but it's the same thing as a nigga sayin he wants a broad w/ a phat ass and some D-cups...those are wants, not needs.
