myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships4 months ago

Is it necessary for the boy to be taller than the girl in a relationship as boyfriend-girlfriend, or husband wife or living relationship. Or have you ever seen any exceptions. What's the common things that are seen in your country before marriage or relationships?
You can even give your own personal views about it.

Not in my opinion,I think that relationships should be based on love not Hight,Race,body type,eye color,hair length/color or anything else.

my husband is 2 inches shorter then me and we have been married for 10 and a half years:)


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Well, love is okay. But, then, what is the situation in your country in general.
I am happy to hear about your married life.
But, you know it does matter in other cases.

In my country height is not the primary thing we look in a partner, however I have always wanted to have someone who is just a bit taller than me but my boyfriend with whom I am for more than three years is very tall and at first I was feeling a bit hesitant to go out with him as I have to wear high heels every time but then gradually I do not find this s big problem as being together with the person is much more important for me.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Well, that is a nice thing.
Yes, girls always search for taller partners means at least a bit taller than them.
Good for you that you two are such good partners.

I live in canada where there are so many different kinda of relationships that it would be very difficult for me to say what would be normal or standard for another here. For myself I do not worry about height when thinking about a relationship. there are far more important things to make sure fit. Like values moral and how a person wants to life their lives. Also I am 5 foot ten which is pretty tall for a girl so that would really narrow the men I could date a lot, especially if I am wearing heels. LOL


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

WEll, I want to know more about the relationships in Canada. So, have you dated, guys less than 5'10" in height.

Height and age really do not matter. My daughter has been taller than me since she was 14yrs. Her husband is shorter than me. It bothers her sometimes. I tell her, "You have been together 7yrs. and you have 2 children, what were you looking at that you didnt notice his height till now?"


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Well, what does your daughter says?
Does, she even doesn't bother that.


myLot reputation of 81/100. jdyrj777 (2316)   ranked 1,951 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

She says she hates it when they dance together and he is shorter. I told her just look beyond over his head like hes not there. Lol!! She thinks im crazy. I just dont know why she continued the relationship for 7 yrs and had 2 children before she ever mentioned anything. Why make a big deal out of it now? If ahe thought he was too short in he beginning why get into the relationship at the onset? Not all relationships have to be guy taller than the girl or guy older than girl.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

lol Really. LOL. Yes, 7 years of relationship and now complaining. Well, she is just having problem dancing. That's all. So, why not change to some other form of dance.
You surely asked her the right question.
"What were you looking at that you didn't notice his height till now?"


myLot reputation of 81/100. jdyrj777 (2316)   ranked 1,951 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

I guess after having 2 children we know what she was looking at. Lol!!! Come to think of it when they were dating they usually just went to movies. Recently they started dancing so that may explain why she didnt notice the dance heigth. But still she should have noticed the height difference. Maybe shes having the 7 year itch?

Not really necessary, but I guess people got use to it, like the guys being taller than the girls. It can draw attention though when the guy is shorter than the girl.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Have you or any of your friend have any experience with shorter guy. How was it?
And, isn't it difficult for a girl to accept the proposal of a shorter guy.

This can be quite difficult for me because I am tall for a Filipina and when I walk in a crowd, its as if I am Gandalf walking in a village of Hobbits w00t. I don't mind if I am taller than my boyfriends. I have never had a boyfriend who was taller than I am.

But it is still nice to look at a couple where the guy is taller than the girl. Oh, well sad.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

What is your height?

Yes, it's so, always a good pair will be having the male taller than the female.


myLot reputation of 97/100. anne25penn (870)   ranked 566 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

I am five feet eight, which is tall here even for males.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Oh! that is the really tall for a Filipino.
But, then, In India it is okay as there are even more taller boys too.
Also, there are girls even as shorter as 4' 8"


myLot reputation of 92/100. jellymonty (1420)   ranked 54 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Gosh if your gandalf then that makes me Godzilla thenlol

I'm five foot eleven but fortunately there are guys here in the UK who are that tall or taller


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Well, different places, different ergonomics. Hope its fine with everybody in their countries.


myLot reputation of 97/100. anne25penn (870)   ranked 566 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Hi jelly! Well I do meet some guys who are taller than I am who are not my brothers who are six footers. I remember growing up we had problems getting shoes or clothes because the sizes were small. Yup, if you do come here, you would find that your head sticks above everyone else rasp.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

lollollol

A really happy to see par tin this discussion.
REally there are differences as iI said earlier.
So, jelly, be careful, not to crush or hurt anyone when you visit her country.
Well, gandalf you surely have a place to find better partners.

7. myLot reputation of 97/100. princess07031980 (1850)   ranked 56 out of 2,672 in relationships   4 months ago

I have seen many couples where the heights of each are equal or the woman is taller than the man. For me, I would NEVER dat a man shorter than me or even equal to my height for the mere fact I am very short as it is-only 5'1." That would make for a very short man anyway. My fiance is not that tall-he is 5'9", but that is plenty tall enough for me!


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

How, about a person having a height 5'6". It is still taller than you.


myLot reputation of 97/100. princess07031980 (1850)   ranked 56 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Personally, I had preferred to date men a lot taller than me in the past, at least 6', and the tallest being 6'6"! I always had a thing for height, and it has to be the fact that I am so short. My faince is plenty taller than me, but I think about it sometimes-he is one of the shortest I have been with, and I really wouldn't want him any shorter. Stereotypical, I know, but we all have our own tastes!


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

But, I think most girls like taller girls. But, then lets see what the results will tell.

8. myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1806)   ranked 1,942 out of 2,672 in relationships   4 months ago

Normally a man is taller than the girl he is courting or he marries. There are obvious exceptions you do see from time to time. Just the other day at a mall, I saw a girl so much taller than the boy she was going out. They may just be friends out shopping. Height has been a problems with stars like Tom Cruise. As such, most girls rather go out with tall boys than short boys.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Well, then, what is your view. What type of boy do you like?


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1806)   ranked 1,942 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Someone who can charm me will be the top criteria. Humorous to make my day. Smart conversationalist. A team player.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Yup, girls do like team players. Center of attraction kind of boys.

9. myLot reputation of 92/100. jellymonty (1420)   ranked 54 out of 2,672 in relationships   4 months ago

I dated a guy shorter than me once and that was very awkward for me. I felt like a giant taking advantage of a midget. So even though height should not define a relationship but I personally wouldn't date a guy shorter than me. I'm quiet tall for a girl (I'm 5'11) so most guys are intimidated by height. Besides most men prefer their women to be shorter than them


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

So, it was awkward with the shorter guy. How, is the guy now and with whom.
What about you, did you find a taller guy?
Yes, men do prefer shorter women. But, its not so always.


myLot reputation of 92/100. jellymonty (1420)   ranked 54 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

dunno I haven't seen him in like three years.. but he likes to date taller girls as he's really short for a guy, about 5 foot six inches. I dumped because he had a horrible temper and was not as pleasent as he seemeddoh


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Oh! then, you did the right thing. At least taller guys have the advantage of making a girl feel more safe and it looks more good a pair.

Below is an extract of this discussion
Thanks for your response. It was really important to our mylot population. Your opinion is right but, the most girls experience says they like tall guys. Love is more important thing that height for sure.
for indians and chinese in my country we still look for tall man and shorter girls but for the Malays here it is quite common to see the taller woman with shorter man
Well, Sure, you want your man to be taller than you.
Every girl wants the same. But what is the social practice in your society or place.
Yes, girls always search for taller partners means at least a bit taller than them.
Have you or any of your friend have any experience with shorter guy. How was it?
And, isn't it difficult for a girl to accept the proposal of a shorter guy.

Well, different places, different ergonomics. Hope its fine with everybody in their countries.

It's so, always a good pair will be having the male taller than the female.
In India it is okay as there are even more taller boys too.
Also, there are girls even as shorter as 4' 8"

In, the UK, as I saw one more of the response, one would easily find taller guys.
Thanks, hope to hear back from you.

No, height has nothing to do in a relationship. A taller woman or a shorter man could both make good wife or husband. It's not necessary; it's just stereotyped that men must marry someone shorter.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago

Okay, so it is stereotyped. Now, whom will you prefer to go with?
A taller girlfriend or a shorter one.


myLot reputation of 75/100. jamesnitp (759)   ranked 113 out of 2,672 in relationships  4 months ago
