Would you ever marry a guy the same height as you

[Sergio4]

I wanted to know if most women would ever consider this. What is the minimum you would settle for? How many inches taller does he have to be?

On my ideal man wish list, he’d be significantly taller than me- I’m 5’7

But.... I have realised that this is really stupid. My ex was very tall and an utter cunt. DP is an inch taller than me, obviously smaller if I wear heels, and is amazing.

Hmmmm.

I didn’t have a preference.

Ive dated some shorter than average men. Good jobs, handsome faces etc.

I found all had massive chips on their shoulders and wanted me to compensate for it?

It was like they wanted some really “impress all the other guys” kind of girlfriend. So they’d want me to put on loads of makeup, be sexually available 24/7 - all to “compensate” for the slights they felt they’d suffered as short men.

I used to have a short manager at work, who treated me like I was invisible

I’m BME, he basically introduced himself to every white woman wearing make up when he first met them - with me he said “why are you doing that procedure wrong?” and talked over my head to another manager about me as if I was invisible.

When he found out his 6’4 senior colleague fancied me, and that outside of work I do scrub up ok, he was all nicey nice.

Fuck off you munchkin

I’d go for the more societally conventionally attractive guy EVERY time now. Dating isn’t a sympathy game.

I don’t like tall men

Personally no, because I'm short and then there would be no one to help me reach high up things in the house.

I did. He's ever so slightly taller than me (half an inch). I've always said he's the perfect man but I would love to add an extra four inches to his height so when I wear heels I don't tower over him. As I've grown more comfortable in myself though, I don't wish this anymore. DH is perfect exactly as he is and when I wear heels I can use him as an arm rest. Win win.

I’m 5’11, so I would be seriously restricting my options if I insisted a man must be x inches taller than me...

I assume that women who dismiss men because of their height would have no issue with men dismissing them because of the size of their breasts.

My DH is 6 inches taller than me and it has always given him some pleasure when he points this out. For whatever reason he seems to think it is important.

I worry more about our adult son who is 6 foot 6 inches tall and a rugby player. He prefers girls who are quite tall and amazonian, yet there are not many of them around. For some reason young men are often very tall yet girls less so. My son is 6 inches taller than his Dad, yet our daughter is the same height as me at 5 foot 6 inches. It doesn't really make sense.

I would totally have married Tom Cruise (5ft6) or Michael J. Fox (5ft4) in their younger days. I'm more interested in confidence and good looks than height.

Yes I did. Still together nearly 30 years later

Odd question though!

I'm taller than dh. He's the love of my life and I still adore him nearly 20 years later. He has never had an issue about his height and neither should he as he's bloody amazing!

Dh is only 2 inches taller than me...I don't care and it didn't even occur to me to THINK about it when we met. I just knew I liked him.

I have a friend who constantly talks about her "wonderfully tall" DH ...she goes on about it so much that I actually think it's a sort of fetish for her.

I'm 5"4. Dp is 6"2. Being with him is not to do with height but it's nice being enveloped in his hugs, makes things a little tricky in the bedroom though as his thighs are longer than average and he bangs his head on the wall or im at the bottom of the bed!!

@bonniefnMen are perfectly in their rights to discriminate according to breast / bum /frame size. You like what you like. Most of the tall younger men (under 30s) I know in this country over prefer tall women (over 5 9).

Amongst family in India too, tall men there tend to prefer taller women (over 5 6). Several quite beautiful neices have struggled to find boyfriends there because of their height - but when you gently suggest maybe lowering their height expectations they won’t do it

It’s perfectly valid, either way.

My husband is exactly the same height as me, slimmer than me, extremely fucking handsome and I never gave his height a second thought. In my life I’ve been out with very tall guys but honestly I’ve very often been drawn to men who might be considered shorter, aka, 5’7 or less.

I like someone to be about the same height and size.

I am attracted to men taller than me. I'm 5'3", and Ex is 5'7". I'd prefer taller, but that just initial attraction.

Once you get to know someone, you can choose to overlook this, I guess it's bridging the gap between what you are attracted to and getting to know someone, so I wouldn't rule out someone shorter.

I'm 5'7".
ExH (1) was about 5'6".
Late-DH (2) was about 6'2".
Current P says he is 5'10.5" but there is no way he is 3.5" taller than me 🤣

I'd marry the man I loved too as one PP said regardless of height, but, I am attracted to taller men just as I'm partial to a redhead so attraction would be a factor.

I want to feel protected by a man. I would never date a man shorter than me.

I’m 4’11 and don’t meet many smaller men, strangely enough. But I have dated short blokes as well as taller ones and it makes no difference to me. DP is about 5’8.

I’m 6’1” so taller than most men. If I had limited my dating to men taller than me, I never would have gone out.

My husbands only 5 7" but feels gigantic as I'm 5 1. I dated a guy in my 20s who was about 5 3, wasnt his height that bothered me, just the little hands lol. I like to be wrapped around so it's not shallow just a preference for a taller (than me) " guy

I would but am generally attracted to taller men.

I’m very shallow. Luckily my husband ticks all my boxes!
