Q4Women: Can you honestly say, with a straight face, that you prefer a man that is 5'7 compared to one that is 6'1?

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2017-10-31T00:20:05+00:00

a random man or a specific man? i dont "prefer" ever 6 4 man or disprefer every 5 7 man

shoup88 · 2017-10-31T00:33:45+00:00

Is everything else about them the same? I can honestly say, 100% would prefer the 6ft guy.

Wow that was brave of me.

[deleted] · 2017-10-31T00:31:49+00:00

I doubt I could even tell the precise height unless somebody told me.

SpaceWhiskey · 2017-10-31T02:53:52+00:00

It really depends on other factors. I don’t have a height preference. My fiancé is about four inches shorter than me.

[deleted] · 2017-10-31T00:32:53+00:00

If he was a spherical cow on an incline with no friction and in a vacuum at zero Kelvin, then sure. I'd prefer the guy to be taller than me.

justhanging92 · 2017-10-31T07:20:54+00:00

Idk, height is something I never considered for attractiveness, I always thought it was as relevant as hair or eye color. Also I'm 5'1, almost everybody is taller than me by default.

EliteSpartanRanger · 2017-10-31T00:26:23+00:00

Yes actually that's my ideal height because i'm short.

A 6'1 guy would be too tall next to me, I'd feel weird and short.

Honestly it's probably my issue but I feel shitty enough about my height. I don't want to feel any shorter than I already am.

RockinSocksII · 2017-10-31T00:30:26+00:00

Both are taller than me so I don't really give a shit.

metric_units · 2017-10-31T00:33:27+00:00

i can say with a straight face that all things considered equal for a guy i'm already attracted to, i don't care if the guy is 5'7" or 6'1". i've found myself attracted to guys around either height. if he's 5'7", he's closer to my height (no awkwardness). if he's 6'1", he could be extra fun to cuddle. why choose?

BlueRabbit21 · 2017-10-31T00:36:56+00:00

I can honestly say that I don't give a fuck. I am very open about my preference for highly attractive partners. Looks are my first and main criteria when picking a SO-- that said, I don't actually give a shit about height as long as he is taller than me.

I'm very small. As long as a man isn't a literal midget, he is taller than me.

speltspelt · 2017-10-31T03:08:01+00:00

Yep. 5'10" better than either though.

rpwthrowaway2016 · 2017-10-31T04:22:46+00:00

What if I say I don't care? Current bf is 5'4.

1UPZ_ · 2017-10-31T04:46:20+00:00

Men, can you honestly say, with a straight face, that you prefer a pretty women compared to an average woman!?

Lyanina · 2017-10-31T11:31:11+00:00

I can honestly say, with a straight face, that I don't care. All other things being equal, it would be like choosing between two clean glasses when I just need to drink a glass of water.

I've been very attracted to guys shorter and taller than me. 5'7 and 6'1 are both taller than me. Whatever.

pinkgoldrose · 2017-10-31T11:44:05+00:00

Honestly I used to before coming to reddit and realizing being short is bad.

Before, I didn't think about my preferences, I just went with what I was naturally attracted to, and I dated guys around my height (5'6) and I disliked tall men.

Even my schoolgirl crushes were on guys about 5'7. I didn't notice it, but thinking back I see they were all short.

Over time I had a bunch of guy friends and the ones I wanted to date were the ones around my height (5'6) and I didn't want to date the 6' ones.

weaver420 · 2017-11-01T18:32:58+00:00

I could honestly say that, but my preferences are very unconventional.

ayovita · 2017-10-31T02:30:15+00:00

I almost dated a guy who was 5'6 back when I was 20 (28 now.) I thought he was incredibly cute and loved his olive skin and curly hair (I think his mom was black and dad was white or something). But yeah, didn't fuck because I found out he fucked dudes too and had HIV.

But I can't honestly say I would prefer a man shorter than myself (I'm 5'8). I don't think I ever dated a guy who was under 6'0.

Butt-Factory · 2017-10-31T03:05:22+00:00

It depends on the man, obviously. I have more issues with men above 6' than men below 5'9, being that I'm under 5 feet tall myself. I was engaged to a guy who is 5'6.

the tallest man I've dated was 6'3, shortest described himself as "5 foot nothing", but was probably 5'3ish

nemma88 · 2017-10-31T08:29:08+00:00

Well, 5'7 man is probably going to fit standy up sex, bendy over table sex etc better than 6'1, I won't hurt my neck as much and he's still quite a bit taller than me.

crapaudface · 2017-10-31T12:33:43+00:00

shit you're a woman and more defeatist than a incel guy? lol are you telling me there's no chance you'd "fall for" a short guy and that you're always comparing people

Feyra · 2017-10-31T13:20:11+00:00

No, I cannot honestly say that. Nor can I claim the inverse. Both are taller than me, and I've never met anyone interested who was my height or shorter. For me, the question is moot, either because I have no experience with shorter men or because I genuinely don't give a shit when other attributes are vastly more important.

philomexa · 2017-10-31T14:37:19+00:00

I can honestly say I don't give a fuck. Although to be frank, my dream man is 5'7" and my husband is 5'8" so...I guess I'd prefer the 5'7" man, although truthfully I doooonnn't care.

iminit77 · 2017-10-31T20:58:21+00:00

I would pick the 5'7" guy. I actually prefer shorter men in almost all cases. I wouldn't turn down a tall guy just for being tall, but I prefer shorter men. I like their bodies better, they're more compact and well proportioned (assuming they're fit). A tall, fit guy can look good but take his clothes off and his body won't look as nice (to me) as a shorter guy's. Just a little too lanky for my tastes.

That being said, I do prefer the guys to be taller than me. But I'm 5'3" so that's pretty easy.

CatchPhraze · 2017-11-01T10:19:08+00:00

I'm 5'1 on a tall day, what the fuck do i care after a certain point? I do get wanting your dude to be taller then you, 5'4-5'6 is just fine because it leaves room for heals. After that it's really all the same besides the awkward bending thing he'll have to do.

goatismycopilot · 2017-11-01T15:29:37+00:00

I am 5'2, so either way both are taller than me. So, it depends on the guy. I am going to pick the 5'7 guy who is active and shares common interests over some out of shape 6'1 guy who I have nothing in common with.

kwantum_fisiks · 2017-11-01T23:52:07+00:00

I'm 5'2 so yeah, easy.

xKalisto · 2017-11-02T17:24:42+00:00

Yes, I find and always did find (since elementary), shorter men more attractive than taller men.

I don't want a mountain looming over me.
