Does his height start with a 5?

Unless you're a dwarf, your height shouldn't start with a 4' either lol jk.


Seriously, why is everyone so anti tall women? There are a decent amount of 6'5" guys out there, do they really prefer a 5'0" woman over a 6'0" one? If I was that tall I'd definitely prefer the 6 footer.

Funny you mention that because I have a cousin with a 6'5" dad and a 5 foot mom. He's 5'11" but when you think about it, he could have ended up anywhere on the height spectrum.

That's interesting, inheritance tends to work on an 'either/or' basis instead of an 'average of' basis.

I'm sorry but to me a 5'0" woman and a 6'5" man begins to look a bit wrong. She'd need stilts just to kiss him!

Yet to some people this would probably be more acceptable/normal than say a couple where the female was slightly taller.

Not that many 6' 5" guys. I would say most men of all heights prefer a woman 5' 8" and less. Probably more like 5' - 5' 6" as the poll indicates. The gargantuan women are going to have a hard time finding a guy even 6' 5"ish who would prefer them of the shorter gal I think. Not all but many of them will. It's just been in the last 40 to 50 years or so, women are getting taller than many men. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but it's not my thing. I agree with the others, many of what you see day to day if they don't gag themselves and barf are far from slender as well. I would even go so far as to say they were down right HUSKY!

They got divorced. Maybe the extreme height difference is a bad thing after all. But if you met her, you would know that the height is not the only reason they got divorced

But isn't it relative, though? To a 6'5" man a 5'8" woman would look small. Kind of like how a 5 footer would look to a 5'8" man.

For what it's worth these large gals seem to be really attracted to me for some odd reason. Like way too many to be a fluke. I don't know why though? They hit on me all the time. Maybe I look like someone who they can beat up and knock around and take it? LOL LOL I don't know really? LOL
