It just occured to me, I've seen lots of things that some people don't give a second thought - But I do. I see couples sometimes, where the guy is really tall and the girl is really small - and where the girl is really tall, and the guy is... shorter... And sometimes just the same height. It seems to vary! But for me, I never had a preference before... Though I have to admit, I don't much care for girls as tall as me (I'm about 188cm) but I think I'd feel funny dating a girl who is like 140cm! I mean, people would think you were dating a minor! But what does it matter what people think? Anyway, what is your preference? Do you like your girl/guy to be the same height, shorter, taller, what? Keep in mind this has no bearing on body! I mean, girls can have nice breasts if they are 180cm or 150cm

Guys *usually* go for shorter girls, and girls usually go for taller guys. I remember reading somewhere that this combination has the "highest" success rate in relationships (short girl/tall guy). Who does those kinda surveys anyway?

you start some odd threads......


uh, I guess the g/friend should be just a little bit shorter (so I can feel superiour)

Yes, I believe in oddness for the world.

Shorter than me. WF is actually the perfect height at 4-5 inches shorter than me (although in typical female fashion she wishes she was taller!)

all of my girlfriends since highschool have been volleyball players so in the 5'6" to 5'10" range

well SG is your world I 'spose

I couldn't give a monkeys, myself.

That's the spirit.

I had to vote tiny to keep Sharon happy

Seriously though, I'm really not bothered, it's all academic if you plan to grow old together anyway

Umm, I always want to be a couple of inches taller. Where in particular? My legs. Just a couple more inches

As for partner, I like tall guys. I like that he is still taller than me when I wear 3 inches heels. Anyway, the height is not so important (but ideally taller). To me personality and look are the first couple of things I am interested

That's the spirit.

Nah, desperation mate

to be honest, I kind of moved away from the whole physical attaction thing a while back. Not that I'd go out with a pure munter (hey, I am only human), but ultimately it's what's in the noggin that counts. Some of the most attractive girls at uni (ok, a girl; it was a CS course....) I've known were attractive because they were smart, after all.

True. And sometimes attraction develops AFTER you get to know someone.

I think proper attraction only happens that way, to be honest, although I always figured sometimes the whole platonic relationship thing is more appealing, because it's less likely to all end in tears.

Mind you, it's the whole apparently unrequited thing that's a bugger.

Just tall enough to see over my shoulder is what I think of as ideal...but going by those people I've found attractive it's a couple inches less.

What about age? Anyone?
