Guys, do you mind if your girlfriend is taller than you? Girls, do you think height really matters?

well, for me it really matters. i'm quite tall, and i always consider height in a relationship. so, that is really my problem. but i think, if you really like the person and both of you get a long very well, i dont see any problem in that. after all, all that matter is LOVE.

It doesn't matter at all. If the person is a good person, who cares if they are 6' or 5'. It is the person that counts.don think tat matters.. there r plenty more things than height..

Nope ....it should be the least of your worries. What should matter is how well you get along and how much you have in common. How tall a guy is really should not be a concern. It is nothing.

height would matter if you look at it horizontally.

It's not a problem for me, my boyfriend is taller then i am, but not much. When i wear high hills, i end up being about the same hight or a little taller. works great for me bacause i have an excuse to not wear hills lol

I like tall guys, for me it's important that the guy is taller than me because I find them attractive and they look real man no offense to shorter guys. It's still depends on a person there are girls that they are mostly attractive to guys not much taller because they find them cute.

No I do not believe that height matters, only if it matters to you. I had a very cute shorter than me bf and I loved him very much. In fact, I grew to love his short stature.

In a relationship, height never was a huge deal for me. It's not of great importance, even though I'm fairly small and such. For me, with regards to a relationship, there are far more important things than height. To some, height might be highly important, but I'm not really one of them.

I think height matters. Besides, we're all "biologically designed" to find a mate that matches us. Anyway. I think it's just aesthetic in my point of view if my guy is taller than me. In my opinion, it's nice to look at that way. Besides, if the guy's taller, it makes me feel safer, secure. Indirectly, the height of my partner makes me feel that he's superior.. and I like the image that he looks superior/stronger over me. Guys shorter than I do not attract me because they make me feel like they cannot handle and protect me. That's just me. It's all psychological and more importantly, biological. It's a survival of the fittest kind of thing, natural selection.

For me it was a problem because I wanted my boyfriend to be tall but not too much and what I got is a very tall guy with whom I am since the past three years, but now I am used to his height and I personally do not see any problem with it.

Hi louie, it is hard for me to say whether i mind or not, I'm a girl, I'm okay if my partner is same height with me when I'm not wearing high heels. I do mind a little bit if i wear high heels, and notice that my partner is shorter than me. I prefer my partner slightly taller or may be much taller than me. I'm single now, so i still can review back my choice.lol. But, if two lovers really in love with each other, i think height won't really become a matter. have a nice day =)

hai louie, in most cases guys do think critically wether their girlfriend is taller than them..sepose it has something to do with the so-called male ego? sounds ridiculous but its true.. personally, I wouldn't mind if she is a bit taller than I am..say like 1-3 inch taller(without the hills)..more than that even in neutral's point of view, people will notice something's not right with the scenery.. having said that, some guys also didn't prefer girls to be much smaller than them..its kind of awkward as if you're dating your own sister feeling.. hope the ladies will give their view on this one, and thanks again louie for bringing this one :)
