Height policy when you were dating?

LuckyYoungBride

Minimum height? Don't care? Does the bar lower (ba dum pshh) if he is smokin' hot?

my ex-BF was about 2 inches taller, so we're talking 5'7" (on a good day).  I would rarely wear heels but I kind of liked not having to stand on my tippy toes to kiss him.

I say as long as he's about equal, you're good to go.

i never really cared. ?you'd have to be a midget to be shorter than me.

This. However, I was far more attracted to taller guys than shorter guys.

I dated guys from a couple inches taller to almost a foot taller (I'm 5'7"). If I had to pick an ideal height I'd say 6'2". But then I met my husband and that went out the window. We're the same height!

Eventhough I'm way short (5'0"), my minimum height was 6'0".

I took a chance on DH who is 5'10". He's the shortest guy I've every gone out with.

I'm 6ft tall, so I can't be too picky about this.

MH is actually an inch shorter than I am. This is not my ideal situation, but it's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

I don't have a policy. The shortest guy I ever dated was the same height as me (5'8") and I got a little bummed that when I wore heels I was taller than him, but he was super hot so it was okay.

As long as I was taller than him was all I cared about, but I'm way more attracted to taller guys than shorter.

So how did you end up with YH?

The only advantage of being 5' 1", height has never been an issue. I think my husband's 5'10" or 5'11" or so.

No policy but every guy I dated was at least my height (5'7") or taller.

hmm, guess I should proof read my posts before hitting post, huh? ?lol?

I'm 5'6" and have always liked taller guys, think closer to 6' and above. MH is actually the shortest guy I've ever dated at 5'10"ish- go figure.

zeesbride

I am only 5'0 so this has never been a problem...in fact MH is 6'3...lol

I'm 5'4" and almost always wear heels, so I preferred guys that were at least 5'7" or so.

I always wanted the people I dated to be two inches taller than me (I'm 5'8") so I could wear heels and not feel like the big one in the relationship.  DH is 6'0" and it's perfect.  If I went out on a date with someone shorter it was a bit of a turnoff for me.

i wanted them to be at least my height, but preferably taller (Im 5'4")

mrsmj2008

I'm 5'5" and preferred tall enough than me that I could wear heels. I went on a date with a guy that claimed he was the same height as me but turned out to be a few inches shorter and I couldnt do it so I never called him back

My standard has nothing to do with looks or height, if uknowhaimsayin.

 

agnesackneback

After I dated a guy that was the same height as me, I found out... I don't like short guys.  He was pretty hot though.

DH is nearly a foot taller than me.

yeahimcat

I don't have a serious policy but I have never dated anyone under 6', ever. I don't think I do it on purpose.

laurapalmer

I always wanted him to be at least my height. Now I'm feeling kind of bad for all the short guys out there. Imagine how limiting it would be to be like 5'3''? Do you ever notice that the short girls always end up with the really tall guys too?
