Hello

This question is mostly for girls

Do you find attractive a guy who is 5.6 feet or maybe girls want a guy who is taller.

Well I know some responses may be 'a guy must be loyal,caring etc' but my question is related with first impression. Thank you girls

On first impression I would think 5'6" is a little short. However I dated guys that height and I didn't mind that much, height is not the reason why the relationship ended.

I'm 5'10" so he'd be a bit smaller than I am, but height (or lack thereof) never takes away from the overall impression, for me. It's usually the guys that have a problem with me being taller than them than the other way around.

I think some girls have types for height but I think the ones that do are shallow. I'm currently 6ft, but still growing even though I'm 16. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and he's only a couple inches taller than me, when we first started dating, he was smaller. I'm not interested in height. I think you're probably average height so don't worry. All my girlfriends are smaller than me, most of them your height.

YouWish agony auntDon't worry about it! I'm 5'7", my brothers are 6'4" and 6'5" (one's a bodybuilder/personal trainer and the other one is a forest ranger for the state of MI). I always thought I would marry someone a lot taller than me. My husband is also 5'7". One really nice thing about that is that we don't have to adjust the seats or mirrors in our cars, and that's a big deal!

Cerberus is right -- the "preference" thing goes out the window when they fall for you. He's not right that all women are liars though any more than if we were to make some asinine statement that all men are cheating dogs either. heh. ;)

chigirl agony auntLet me tell you, your eyebrows are way more important than your height when it comes to first impression. If you have a bushy unibrow then it wont matter how tall you are, you're not going to impress anyone.

On the other hand, I've met several well groomed and stylish men who are shorter than me, and all I could think of was how handsome they were...

Honeypie agony auntHeight have never been an issue for me, but with that said I have never dated a guy who was shorter then me - however that really has nothing to do with their height, growing up in Northern Europe most guys are in general taller then I was. I'm 5'7"

My first love was 5'9" so not much taller at all.

And I agree with some of what Cerberus says. Don't worry about things you CAN NOT change such as height. IT IS not the thing that will stop you from finding love. Being too self-conscious about it on the other hand might.

One of my best male friends is 5'6" and he's ALWAYS dated tall gorgeous model like girls, I think it had a LOT to do with his attitude towards life. He has personality in spades. His wife is almost 6' and she certainly doesn't seem to mind at all.

So my advice would be, if a girl you meet has a problem with your height... she is not for you.

A reader, anonymous, writes (30 October 2012):

Same height as me and my partner count is 80+.

OP women are liars (no offence ladies) what they say they want is not what they go for.

"I want a nice guy who respects me" - dates bad boy players.

"I don't care about money or material possessions" - gushes over the latest playboy celebrity.

"I don't like him anymore, we have nothing in common and can't be together." - Still in daily contact and hooking up on nights out.

"I don't find short guys attractive." - Wakes up in my bed the next morning.

OP don't ever ask a woman nor care about her preferences, make yourself her preference and only care about yours.

Women generally say to me they prefer tall guys, yet my tall friends haven't even nearly the same partner count as me when all combined. Most apparently don't find bald guys attractive either yet I'm bald and have been very successful.

You know what I actually find to be the biggest truth about women. Tall, short, bald, hairy the one thing they all find attractive is a guy who is comfortable in his own skin, happy about who he is and confident, looks aren't set in stone, but confidence and self-assuredness is.

CindyCares agony aunt Honest ? I prefer taller, ( and I am only 5'3 ) and most women I know feel the same.

But it's just a preference, not a deal breaker. If you had other things going for you to make you attractive, bot physically and in term of personality , I would not shoot you down just because of this one.

Giggles17 agony auntSo the answer would be depending on the girl. It would depend on if the girl likes taller guys or not and it would also depend on the height of the girl who likes taller guys.
