do you consider the height of a person to qualify as your bf/gf? would you dislike a guy if you're taller than him? or for guys, are you attracted to girls even she's taller than you?. . . my boyfriend is attracted to girls taller than him. he is barely 5'6" in height which makes him small for a guy. maybe he is attracted to taller girls simply because it is true that opposites attract.. but personally, i am more attracted tall guys but here i am having a boyfriend who's small and cute.

I'm lucky, I am only 5' so it's very easy for me to find a guy taller than me. I couldn't date someone smaller than me but then again it's hard to find that :-p. But I have always gone for the super tall guys. I once dated a guy that was 6'4. My current boyfriend is between 5'10-5'11 so he is much taller than me.

Height always mattered to me growing up. It matters less so now, but my husband is the exact same height as me. I wished he were a little taller, but I still wear the high heels anyway! I have been 6'2" since junior high, and I was taller than almost everyone in the school, including the teachers! When you feel like the Jolly Green Giant, it doesn't help to be dating a guy that makes you feel even MORE giant, so I didn't date much until college. The shortest of all of my boyfriends was 6', so none of them were really short. But the tallest one was about 6'3", so none of them were exceptionally tall either. Now that I'm in my 30s, I have just recently started to get comfortable wearing those sexy heels that most girls are able to pull off without looking like a giraffe on stilts. I am much more comfortable with myself, so I will wear my snake-skin strappy heels that make me 6'6" and not bat an eye! I do like the attention it gets me. I went to a karaoke night a couple of weeks ago and was hit on by every man in the place! Nice to know I still got it.

Physical things should never be an issue when there is a love relation. It may be so that I fall in love with a woman /girl who is a bit taller than me. This should not take away the emotional bonding that has been established between you and me. W@hat finally matters is the coherence of the mind.

Hi cainam! I think it would be weird if I were taller than my husband and kind of funny too. I would start laughing every time I bent down to kiss him, lol. It just looks better when a guy is taller than his girl. I know that sounds kind of bad but well it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks because in the end love chooses for you and not the other way around. Happy Mylotting!

height should generally mean nothing in a relatiopnship but many women have found themselves culpable of this problem, some ladies even hate guys they are an inch taller than while some even want their guys to be 5 or more inches taller than them and at the end of the day they force themselves on someone who will breake their hearts and leave them miserable

I love this question. Standing tall at just about 5 feet the answer is yes height matters for me! I am and have always been attracted to men that are at least 5"10 . .6 feet is my favorite. For some reason in my small stature when I am with a man who is "short" I feel like 2 little blue smurfs!!! I think it is all just a matter of what we feel comfortable with but a tall man makes me feel not only taller but safe. I know that might not make sense to alot of people but it is just a matter of taste. I know alot of tall men actually like petite women and then again I know alot of people who it doesnt make a difference as long as the chemistry is there. As it is said . .to each is own.

Hi there Cainam! I get attracted to really tall guys and my husband's really tall. His heaight is 6-feet flat and that is tall for Filipino men. I think that it can get women attracted to you but it doesn't matter that much in the long run. It's still the guy's personality and attitude that will make a woman fall for him. The physical characteristics just call for attraction but not love.

It does matter to me. Honestly, I don't want my partner to be shorter, can't really explain why. Besides, I can wear high heels without feeling guilty or anything if my boyfriend is taller. Lucky for me, so far, I never have a shorter boyfriend.

Many of us really cares for the height of the person. Sometimes, i became height conscious when i saw some women that attracts me. But in terms of relationship, for me height doesn't matter because it's the feeling the matters. As long as me and my partner loves each other, difference does not matter.. Have a nice day...

No, physical dosn't matter at all to me. I usually just don't see it which is why I have never been very good at descibing people to other people or the police. I tend to see the eyes and what they have to say, or maybe the smile, or what's in their voice.

Well personally I think it is a bit weird for a girl to be taller than the boy in the relationship. Even though I'm very shotr for my age, girls are about the same height as me so its a win-win situation!

I'm not sure whether or not height is an issue. Especially for me. I'm just a touch over 5 feet so it's be hard for me to find someone shorter than I am. My boyfriend is over 6 feet - way taller than me.
