Men and height.

So, a colleague of mine (mid 30s, divorced) went out on a date at the weekend. They'd met online, been chatting for a few weeks...
So how did it go?
'What is it about men and height? He told me online that he was 5'8. I'm 5'6 and I was four inches taller than him!'
*Note: she says the shoes she was wearing had heels barely an inch high.

I wouldn't mind betting a lot of women can tell similar stories. I don't blame men: there's so much evidence that the taller tend to be more successful, that a bit of exaggeration is understandable. But do they really expect to get away with it?

Maybe they think their charm will win women over and they'll overlook their lack of height......

My dad hated it when he was a kid - apparently, adults automatically assumed he was the eldest and blamed him for anything his mates did - but he rather enjoyed it when he got older...

I went out with blokes who were shorter than me when I was younger, but I'm not sure I'd have been too impressed with someone who lied about it...

see, my mom has always liked men that were tall. I don't get it. I like to be able to lay my head on my mans shoulder when hugging him. So about my height or a couple inches taller is about it for me.


And if you lie about your height, what else are you lieing about?

I'm 6'4".

I don't care about a guy being freakishly tall. I would like for him to be a bit taller than me. My boyfriend is about 5 inches taller than me and I'd say it is perfect lol.

I've always had a thing for women who are taller than me.

In college, I dated a girl who was 6'3".

No idea how tall I am, so I randomly picked 5'8" as my height.

It'd be nice to be taller, but as long as I can deal with zombie midgets by holding their the top of heads at arm length and kicking them in the balls I'm content.

Plus I have New Rocks. I could nut Darth Vader in those babies. He'd force choke me to death afterwards, but he'd have to spend half an hour panel beating his face back into shape.

I'm 5'7" and I'm just fine with it, mainly because I like girls that are 5'0" to 5'5". XD

yeah, but yer also, what? 300 lbs?

I dunno, but it sucks when you're honest about your height 5'9"/5'10", depending on how rough a day I had.

meh
6' if i don't slouch and I'm still the same waist as high school

6' even right here. Sometimes I feel HUGE, standing next to small people.

My height doesn't really concern me, but I think I prefer shorter women.

yeah?

What's wrong with shorter guys?

Shorter man usually = smaller man => smaller appetite => smaller grocery bill => larger bank account => more fabulous trips to Disneyworld.

Makes sense to me.

^ But the stepladders and ladders must be bigger and therefore cost more!

I'm 5'3" and have always prefered men taller than me by a few inches at least. Not sure why. I did go on a date with a guy shorter than me and it totally turned me off. The So is about 5'8-10" and it's pretty much perfect.

5'11" here. The tallest woman I dated was 5'9".

My ex-wife is 5'8" and my kid is 5'6".

6'1" unless I'm having a really rotten day.

6'2". It's easy to see why somebody who is less than six feet might have a complex about it. Real men tower over such boys.

I tower over you by 2".

^^^
Yes, I consider myself to be average height at best. Anything less than 6 feet is a birth defect.

I can see why some guys would want to wear really tall shoes....

I like guys who are a few inches taller than me, preferably at least 5'9"

Of course, anything past 6'2" - 6'3" is just "meh"...

5'9" is below average - just ask gul.

Yeah, well, I'm 5'4", which is also below average.

So there!
