Are 5' 9" guys really disadvantaged in the dating scene compared to 6'+ guys?

Edit Post

Ok guys, I was doing very well for months with height neurosis, than I was just in a situation with a girl I liked who went for a 6' 1" dude instead of me.

Neurosis overload trigger!!!

Anyway, I really hope it wasn't because be was taller, but I question stuff like this. Do you think in reality, most short or average height girls care that much about 5' 9" vs 6' 1"? Is this all a imaginary problem I've created in my head?

I should mention that every day when I walk down the vastly populated streets of New York City, I see a couple with a shorter man and taller woman, for whatever it's worth.

Would it really though? If both twins had the same personality and approached the same 10  5' 4" girls, would one have a higher success rate? I'm not really sure...

Quote from: G-Man on July 07, 2015, 12:35:35 AMIt's just usually easier for the taller dude but Alittletooshort is right, at 5'9" height shouldn't be a problem to pickup in most cases.  Also some chicks don't like too much difference as it's annoying for them to break their neck when looking at their bf.

That's a good point actually. I've noticed a ton of 5' 4" girls with 5' 7" guys walking down the streets of New York who look very happy together. Than I see a 5' 1" girl with a 6' 3" guy holding hands looking less happy. I guess the height queen didn't take into account the importance of "eye to eye" contact in the selection of her giant boyfriend.

Quote from: supergirl on July 07, 2015, 02:52:50 AMtaller is not always better, i think 6'1 (186 cm) is the most i would go for a guy! (since I will be almost 6'). so, anywhere from 180 cm to 186 cm  . don't like to feel like a dwarf. of course i can still give < 180 cm and > 186 cm a chance but ideal is 180-186.

my other model friends prefer 6'. too big eyes are not good, too sharp noses are not good. the same goes for height. you can be "too tall".

Hey, what about me at 177CM on a good day : ( ?  Just kidding, although I would date a tall girl if she let me

Since you are already a tall girl though, I can understand why you want taller guys. At least you aren't demanding 6' 1"+

My goal height is only 1.80m. for modeling purposes.

I´ve seen quit the opposite. I mostly see the short girls with taller guys, and the taller girls with average guys.

I must agree with Endo on this one. I'm very observant of couples, as it's what I do when I'm walking around on the streets of NYC. I notice many European couples with a 5' 10" girl and a 6' 2"+ guy. Less common is it that the tall girl will date an average height guy, although I do see this too, but just less often. I agree with you on the short girls wanting disproportionately taller guys (i.e. a 5' girl with a 6' guy). Pisses the hell out of me.

Everyone would be happy if short girls dated short guys : )

It's all their fault!

What do you guys think, top pic = good looking couple (5' 10" and 6' 5"), and bottom pic = two clowns (5' and 6' 6")?





Also, many people on here say 6' 6" is too tall for most women. Does that make "Big Bad Vlad" too tall? I'd say a lot of 5' hotties would go for that unfortunately, even though the couple would look odd. Vlad, like Joey Maggs might be exceptions though, because they are also good looking and ripped to shreds.

Quote from: Uppland on July 08, 2015, 12:19:10 PMDamn, imagine being that height, there is something primal about such an imposing stature.

In another life maybe.

What's with the need to be imposing? Have you ever considered that many people (women included) could be intimidated by a huge, muscular giant man to the point where they actually try to avoid them?

I know it appears I'm contradicting myself, but what I'm trying to say is that a huge man is not universally respected and thought of as an omnipotent being. Some people are intimated to be around them, and prefer to be around normal people. I for one can't imagine a shy little asian girl being attracted to Wladimir for example.

OMG, what I'd give to spend a night with Taylor. She could make fun of being taller than me all she wants. I'd still enjoy it
