Does Height Matter? : Othor Games

» Wed Jul 20, 2011 8:22 pm

What matters most is how you carry yourself, if you act confident and comfortable you should be okay, but sadly height does matter. It's just ingrained in our minds that the guy should be taller, and if it makes that person feel weird they probably wouldn't want to date you. Almost everyone is shallow, which is sad but true.

Lucky bastard. <_<

I'm 6'7" and HATE it. I have to duck through most doors, I can barely fit in most cars with either my head or knees touching, and to add insult to injury, I can't ride most rides at amusemant parks.

Amusemant parks are NOT amusing when you can't do anything at them.

Oh, and: *Insert lewd comment about height here*

This!

I'm not quite as tall (only 6'5, not 7) but let me tell you now, there are just as many drawbacks to being tall as there are to being small.

It's a classic case of 'the grass is always greener' really...tall people wanna be shorter, shorter people wanna be taller, and average-height people hate being labelled average...no-one wins in the battle of height.

Sadly, it does. At 5' 7, I'm short enough that I've had my share of being made fun of and having numerous girls bring it up as an issue.

I'm also 100% certain that my life would, in general, be easier, if I was 3-4 inches taller.

Same here.

You can't do anything about your height, so if you let it affect you it will only make things worse. Easier said than done though. I know women from both sides too, some who don't want a shorter guy and others who think that small guys are "cute", so as always it's just about finding the right partner. I'm only 6' myself but there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm at peace with that fact. And as a lot of people have said, confidence matters a lot. I've seen so much difference when it comes to peoples reactions depending on your body language. Accept and respect yourself, and others will do the same.

well you can't really force them to be attracted to shorter people :shrug:

but think of it this way, if something as little as height was enough for her to not be interested in you then you probably would not have had a very deep or meaningful relationship with her any ways.

5'1"? Ouch. I can't speak from personal experience (I'm lucky enough to have hit 6'0", so most girls are shorter than me), but from what I've seen, teenage girls tend to prefer to not go out with guys who are shorter than them. But, of course, height shouldn't matter to the right girl when you find her.

Really? I would imagine your height as being about average.

I know lots of girls find height to be a very attractive feature, but that is not the only attractive quality in a man.

I know there's much better places to ask these kind of questions, but since the people here are very intelligent and unbias, I might as well ask here. I'm a 15 yr. old guy, and I'm only 5'1". Recently, after being interested in a girl who is 5'10", I've begun to feel bad about my height, especially when she said "If only you were taller..." I, personally, don't think it's fair for some girls to be so shallow as to not date a guy shorter than them. And as you can imagine, I'm shorter than alot of girls at this age and probably always will be, seeing as my whole family is around 5'4"-5'7". Anyway, I'd like to get some opinions on the matter from males and females, even though there's MUCH less women on this forum. For the guys, have you ever dated a taller woman? And for the gals, have you ever dated a shorter man?

First off im really dumb and extremely biased

I probably wouldnt date a girl taller than me its weird I guess plus she'd have to be 6'2" anyway

Most people are shallow I include myself in that pool. All you can do just be a cool and good person and be vigilant and being a badass doesn't harm your chances.good luck bro.

I bet I could guess what race your family would be if you lived in the tes universe.:teehee:I kid I kid

Really? That makes me feel alittle better.

@aSaPp!5@, yeah good point. I have to be daring I guess.

Yea, im 6'4'' range and its not amazing. My hair touches the roof of my car when I drive cause im tall and some cars like morrwind fan said just dont work.

However I dont want to be shorter, we just need tall people acommidations.

When you stand up, do your feet touch the ground?

-Yes
You're the perfect height!

-No
You have superhero powers. Your height is not an issue.

Seriously though, it only matters if you let it. I'm 5' 7", which I consider to be an ideal height for my interests: climbing, balancing, bodyweight strength. Not so much girls (and boys), though, so maybe I can't relate on that point. If relationships were a factor, I guess I'd prefer someone shorter than or the same height as me.

And a lot of girls are relatively short, it seems to me. You'll do fine.
