A majority of my friends like taller guys for some reason they like looking up my perfect man is 5'9 (I'm 5'3") tan skin, green eyes , black hair , athletic build. My sisters man is 6 foot (she's 4'11") strawberry blonde, pale skin, brown eyes, big build. My oldest daughters "next ex boyfriend" has Black hair , darkest brown eyes, super tan, 5'6", ( she's 5'9 and loves hills), slim build. My youngest daughter likes larger build geeky guys. My point is we are all related and brought up in the same fashion yet our choices of mates vary. Not everyone is the same and sure you'll run into women that won't date you because of all reasons including your height. My motto is " do the best you can with what you've got." Example if you drive a 1980 Honda Accord give the old thing a nice paint job, some rims, a awesome sound system, a turbo motor, and make sure the interior is in good shape, just because it's not everyones dream car doesn't mean it can't be kept up to attract attention.
As a tall person, I've never had any women tell me they want a relationship with me because I am tall. I'd say height is of no importance. Personality matters more.
Being brutally honest about it....women like tall men. It's def. not a deal breaker or anything and since there is nothing you can do about it I wouldn't worry about it and just play up your positives. But for the love of god do not be one of those short guys that has a huge attitude like they're overcompensating. Big turn off.
There're gonna be women like me who are tallish (5'8") and because we grew up with tall men in the family that's the norm for us. The men in my fam. are all between 6'2" and 6'5". It's hard for me not to be disappointed with a guy who's under 6'. But like I said, it's not everything. play up the positives about yourself. Don't underestimate personality. I've dated men that are a bit short for my taste because of other assets that they had.
You might keep growing though. I'm 26 and just grew half an inch. Just worry about the things you can control though or your life will be one major headache.
But I'm pretty sure I'm shorter than 90% of people my age.
I might as well kill myself, because I'll never get married or a girlfriend.
That attitude sure as heck won't get you one. My BF is about my height, which is 5'4", he might even be a bit shorter. Doesn't bother me a bit... I love his personality and looks, and he works out and is really strong and built. I'm one of the weird women that doesn't like tall guys, its not too common but I hate someone towering over me... goes back to a bad childhood I guess! Never dated anyone taller that 5'11 and most were quite a bit shorter. Height is one thing you can't do anything about; just make the most of what you have.
But women like tall guys because he can protect her/their children from harm.
Women like tall men, but not because of their height but because of the way they feel around tall men. Safe, secure and protected for the most part. If a shorter man knows how to make women feel the same way around him, he will have as much success as taller guys. One thing I DO know for a fact that women avoid like a plague, is short guys who blame their height for lack of success in dating and let it impact their lives and their level of self-confidence and self-esteem.
