Not a problem. Although I hate how taller girls 5'8"/5'9" tend to go for guys 6' and up (i'm 5'9" or so)

She is going to realize you have problems if this is the kind of stuff that bothers you and will no hang around so don't worry about marriage and kids with her.

:-) No, we met and know each other. I might have confused people when i said my friends are setting me up. They already did that and I know her very well.

Shit, another one of these dudes "flatlining" already ...she likes me so let's go get married before she realizes I'm a giant...

I didn't know "LIKE" was the wedding bells word, I thought it was "LOVE"?

If you are worried about how tall your kids are going to be, let me hit it for you. I mean, since no other traditions about marriage matter here, why not that one? Yeah...let me hit it for you... ...hmmm...what if she likes me afterwards? Does that mean I have to marry her ass? NOT!!

as i've gotten older, i tend to be more attracted to tall, broader framed girls (not like linebackers or some shit, just not as into the petite frame anymore)
my current gf is 5'9" ish, maybe 5'10", i duno. college soccer player, so she has nice long legs
i'm about 6'1" and i would consider girls taller as well as shorter than me (if i werent with my gf)... but i just don't think i would ever go back to the short petite type unless she really blew me away.
it's weird how tastes change so much..

I don't think height should be an issue, unless for some reason, you just can't get past it. I mean, would you pass up the person-of-your-dreams if he/she was shorter or taller than you, but just perfect for you in every other sense?! That'd be pretty retarded to me. You'll certainly miss out on a lot of cool people in life if you judge them superficially on things they have no control over (do you stay away from people with brown eyes, too?).

I understand preferences, but when truly looking for someone to care about, who they are matters so much more than if they got short or tall genes.

And for what it's worth, each generation seems to be getting taller and taller (on average). Thanks to good nutrition, and all the hormones in food (a not so great thing), I don't think many children of the future will have any problem being a healthy height.

Also keep in mind it's not always a genetics thing. I'm not very tall, the reason...I hurt my knee growing up and I havn't grown since. I'm only 5'5'' but my brother is 5'11'' and my father was 5'10''. I probably would have been about there height if I didn't hurt my knee. So someone may think it's my genetics, but it's not.

Sometimes people are not as tall for other reasons.

My basic point was, height: who cares. No point in faulting someone over something they cannot control (for whatever reason).

Yea, I wasn't saying you were off. More of a supplement to what you said.

I don't give a damn about height! If it looks good enough, and my "divining rod" pulls me to it...I'm in there! I'm not walking around looking for someone to marry either!

It depends if your like me and on the short side. Then obviously I can only go for shorter girls.

hahaha Height is nothing but a number!

I'm 5'2"...but am 5'6" with my 4 inch stilettos on! haha As long as the guy or girl is not a foot or more in height from each other, then it shouldn't be an issue! I just find it hard to hug or kiss a guy if he was 7feet tall! EEK!

It shouldn't be a problem unless it's REALLY REALLY inconvenient (like a 7 foot man dating a 4 foot tall woman), and even then it can still work.

Don't worry about your kids' heights. They are only partially dependent on your own, and chances are they won't care if you don't make it a stigma.

I'm 5'7" and I have no problem with my height, or lack thereof. Short guys have better butts anyway.

If you are really in a place where you're open to finding a girl to marry, do not, DO NOT, go down that road. Finding a true life-partner is hard enough to do without filtering out good women based on how you think your kids will wind up. You have no idea how that will wind up. Genes can pop up from grand parents or great grandparents that you know nothing about.

Fall in love with who she is, not her physical dimensions.

Last point:
My family: Dad 6'3", Mom 5'2", Me 5'10", Brother 6'0'
Friend: Dad 5'6", Mom 5'3", Her 5'1", Brother 6'4" <- there's that grandparent for you

It's simple. Are you attracted to her or not? Height is just one physical element to consider, along with size, looks, etc.

typically I go for girls who are 5'3 or taller, I am 6'0"

sometimes anyone shorter than that just feels a bit awkward, i feel like a giant thanks to the height and weight mismatch, but it hasn't stopped me before...

Not an issue - I'm 6'4" and my fiancee is 5'5. For me, I would love for my lady to be taller than me (I <3 tall girls).

I'm 5'7 and I have no fucking problem!! If your height gets you laid, then I must be 7 ft tall, cuz I'm having a ball...Print that!


One other thing...it is not the size of the dog in the fight, (dog not hotdog - cuz yes that shit matters), but rather the size of the fight in the dog! I'm a bad motherfucker, and a go-getter! Height...give me a break...you fucking her legs or her vaginal walls?? Hey, if you walk down the street with her and feel like a circus act, THEN GET ANOTHER ONE THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL THAT WAY!

So I can fuck that circus act for you... and make a "sword-swallower" out of her freaky ass!!! Let it marinate!

Personally, height doesn't matter to me as long as I'm the taller one or we look the same height.

I'm 6' tall and my girlfriend is 5' 3" and it works for us.
