How much importance did/do you put on someone's height?

None.
Well, above one feet.

wow I’ve never dated. But I’m usually attracted to people taller than myself. But I mean, the world is an interesting place so it’s always good to keep one’s options open.

None. I’ve dated everything from 4’ 5” to 6’ 8” & I’m 5’ 4”. For me it’s all about the person. My husband is 6’ 5” but that’s not why I married him

I agree that height doesn’t matter for many people, as we tend to judge by other factors, But there is such thing as initial attraction.

I am six feet exactly. I often think about the challenge I’d have if I was much shorter, under five feet. I do not think women are attracted at all to men of short stature—it has to do with a primal need of physical security and protection, even though the need is virtually null and void in these days of civilization, law enforcement, guns, etc etc.

I have always been attracted to women who are much shorter and smaller than myself But it has occurred to me that physical attributes are something you get used to or start ignoring rather quickly unless someone is butt ugly.

I don’t think women are attracted to men who are shorter than themselves but its not absolute.

It mattered to me. I much prefer my men to be taller than me.

When dating, I do prefer the man be at least my height 5’6” even better would be 5’8” so I can wear a little bit of a heal. When I was younger my heals were higher, so I used to say 5’10” is just perfect. I actually don’t find over 6’ appealing either, so I guess that’s sounding very picky. My husband is 5’10”. My ex was also. My dad was 5’8” I think, he’s shorter now. I don’t think of my dad as short though. My FIL is my height, and I don’t think of him as short either, unless I’m thinking about it for a Q like this.

As far as outside of dating height means absolutely nothing to me, except I will say I don’t like being much taller than other people in the room, whatever room it is. I’m talking about a group of women, I don’t like being 5’9” in heals when the other 4 or 40 women in the room are under 5’4”. I know short women hate feeling short, but it sucks to be towering also. I don’t know if men feel that way.

Part of it is I like to dance. It’s hard to fit together well on the dance floor when a partner is much shorter or much taller.

My DIL is about 5’ 1”, and my son is about 6’ 4”.

I am barely 5’ tall. Somebody who can reach stuff is very attractive, at least 5’3”.

None, but if a dwarf or a giant had ever crossed my path, then that may have proved problematical!
Been wanting to use that word for ages, good tongue workout

Most women I dated were 5’1 to 5’6, but I did date taller women. One girl was about 6’1. I am 6’2, but really, height was never a consideration. Neither was beauty.

I haven’t dated for awhile but prefer men to be a bit taller than me, but not the very tall men as the taller they are the more weight that in later life they will weight.

A Doctor once told me that the human body can hold a lot of weight depending on the bone structure..meaning a huge man will have a bigger bone structure say like a football player etc so that unless they keep fit there body will add on the pounds and it will show.

As in a friendship it doesn’t matter the height etc

My first husband was 5’6” & my last 6’6”. The first kept an attitude, the last didn’t. The ONLY benefit to the shorter of the 2 was that the last put items on shelves that I couldn’t reach & the first couldn’t reach much higher than I could so my stuff was always within reach!!!

My first wife was 0” because I have never been married.

Being 63”, I have small likelihood of dating a man shorter than me.
While watching Pixels recently, I commented to a friend watching with me that the game expert was the sexiest little man I have seen. My friend asked if i would actually date him I said you bet. That earned me an eye roll.
He seems fun to me.
Peter Dinklage is quite successful as an actor, always busy. He’s married though, so I would not be on his radar.

It matters. I hate that it does, because it shouldn’t, but I’m a tall woman and I’m self conscious of that and so I think that’s partly why I prefer taller men, though that’s just about the only thing I am superficial about. It’s my own insecurity.

@lucillelucillelucille How much importance did/do you put on someone’s height?

It’s up there, with length.

@Pinguidchance -Taller usually.
I dated a man my height 5’7.5” but he was twice as wide, so that counts.
I also dated someone 6’9”. He dressed as Frankenstein for our Halloween date.
I wasn’t surprised but he looked great.

My BFF is 5’10” & she always said her man must be over 6’ with a college degree. Then she fell in love with a man who was 5’2” & who barely made it out of high school. They’ve been married for 11 years…12 this April & still in the throws of wedded bliss!!!

Hugging someone shorter than me usually ends up bad. I clip them with my collarbone.

A lot of tall men are awkward about hugging short women. Try to remember to pull her toward you, but not up.

My husband was 14” taller than me. As we discovered, he had most of his height in his legs & most of mine is in my body. When we sat next to each other, we were almost the same height & we used those moments for many of our hugs. When standing, my arms were usually around his waist & he’d give me the BEST hugs!!! I don’t remember him squatting & I know he didn’t lift me up, but dayum they were comforting!!!

@LadyMarissa -My husband’s 4” taller. He gives great hugs. :)

Little to no importance. I’ve been attracted to guys of a wide variety of heights. I’m on the shorter end of average and was quite petite during my adolescence, and the attraction to men taller than me is maybe a little more prominent, but it’s never been a priority.
