Does size really matter?

[where]

.....

 

[coquettish]

I'm 5 11, and I need a guy to be at least my height, and preferably taller. One of my guy friends is 6 5, and I lurve his hugs! Love, love, love feeling small for once.

 

[subish2009]

I'm 5'10" and, yes, my purely physical/instinctual preference for appearance alone would be for a man taller than me. I haven't met many dominant men in real life, not being part of any scene, but I do think that if a man shorter than me were the kind of dom that "clicked" with me, he would do so regardless of his height.

That being said, my husband is 6'; his best friend (who is also one of my best friends) is 6'5". If the two of them stand within a three-foot radius of me, I swear I get wet just from the projected physical dominance. There is something indescribably hot about a man towering over you.

But that's just a basic, animalistic reaction. I maintain that a shorter guy is probably just as capable of bringing out my inner-sub as a taller guy in the long-term.

 

[strike_gently]

Yes! Size is very important to me. I'm 5"1' so I really wouldn't be interested in dating someone shorter than me. Then again, too tall isn't that great - I dated a guy who was 6"2' .. it was the weirdest thing when we stood next to each other, haha.

 

[bouncer225]

I'd say a definite yes, with a yes +1 on the D/s side. Standing 6'2" and tipping 215-225 on most days, I have found I tend to attract women who have some, at a minimum, sub tendencies almost exclusively. And I find myself attracted to women shorter than me (though my height leaves a lot of leeway).

 

[wisk]

Well I'm 6ft 3 and slim have been involved with women from 4ft 11 to 6ft and whilst i don't pick by size or height must confess that i have preference for tall women as they fit me so much better when holding and kissing them whilst standing (a small point but then we all have our quirks). my current partner at 5ft 10 is always in boots or heels prefers men over 6ft

 

[aniven]

I'm 4'11 1/2. I don't think there are many guys shorter than I am, well at least none that I've met. My ex husband was 6'5, my current boyfriend is 5'6. I still feel short, but I don't feel towered over which is nice for a change.

 

[wonderingdude]

My take...

Beauty comes in bits and pieces sometimes. Take it as you find it.

 

[Stella_Omega]

it matters-- in reverse. I find I really love to look at men who are, evidently, five nine or under.

women? I love to look at women. I have no height requirements for women.

 

[NeverWinterNite]

Since I'm 5'7", I like guys that are taller than me.

 

[Man_in_Chester]

The eyes have it.

Yes. I'm between 5'9" and 5'10", which is rather tall for a girl. It makes me feel awkward to be taller than the guy. I need a man to be at least 6', so I don't feel like Gigantor.

The first thing I look for is her height. Then we can see eye to eye which means nose to nose and for .
Perhaps we will not meet but for now.

OK, hands up all of you who thought this was going to be about penis size. I'm talking about height, nothing more, nothing less.

Every so often, I'll pick a big city and look at that city's Craigslist entries for the relationship section (women for men, men for women, erotic services and such and such) because it's actually quite entertaining. Aside from the few entries made by people who are either absolutely nuts or utter liars, it's proven to be rather enlightening because I'm seeing trends in what crops up - you get a lot of "good sense of humour", "good personality" (which is fairly misleading anyway) and "attractive", but "tall" is quite a common request as well and that's what I'm making this topic about.

So tell me, does size matter?

I'm 5' 11" tall and I will say this. Size does not matter a bit to me UNLESS the person begins to make a big deal out of our height differences. I have dated men from 5' 4" to 6'4". The man who was 5' 4" tall was fine at first but then became obsessed with the difference. He'd constantly remind me that I should wear flat shoes because after all I was tall enough anyway. The final straw for me was when I got a heel spur, from wearing high heels and he actually seemed happy. When he suggested I get rid of all my high heels I got rid of him instead. Pity too because in all other areas we did pretty well but his obsession with my height eventually began to make me feel as though I was a freak of nature.

I do find myself to be particularly attracted to short men but that's only an initial reaction in the long run it really doesn't matter it's just a personal fetish.

Height matters to me in that first instant of attraction, when you see someone for the first time and you feel that spark of desire...Because I am taller than average for a woman, what I find to be immediately attractive is a man I can physically look up to.

That being said, height is not a requirement when I consider taking that initial rush of attraction to another level...I've dated many different types. Tall, short, buff, skinny, average, whatever....

Do I prefer a man who is taller? Sure. I really enjoy being manhandled, and someone bigger than me will probably have an easier time with that. I'm about 5'8", fit, outdoorsy, and tend to be fairly strong compared to other women I know. If I could somehow shrink myself to become one of those petite, dainty girls, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Strength is a better predictor of long term attraction for me. Strength of will, strength of mind, strength of character, and strength of imagination are all extremely important to me. And physically, well, I would prefer my man to be able to take me down if we wrestle

 

[Munachi]

in theory i'd say i find taller guys who aren't too thin most attractive, as i like to feel small ... and since i am 1.60 (i think that's about 5'3") most guys here are taller than me... my husband is only slightly taller (1.70 or, i think, 5'7") and quite thin, and i sometimes try to get him to eat more so he at least grows a bit in that direction but usually the result is that i eat more too, so somehow it doesn't have the effect i want...

i once went out with a guy considerably shorter than me, and i must admit what bothered me a bit was when we were lying in bed in like a spooning position i'd always feel his toes against my calves. it's really silly and i suppose shallow, but yeah, it bothered me a bit. it'd have been no reason to break up with him, though...

 

[Slizarus]

I'm a short guy, 5'4" and dating a girl who's 5'9" for some time (and hopefully forever more ) She's the shortest of my Girlfriends with two of them being 5'11"

For me, despite the trend, I wouldn't say that I find them more attractive, body proportion and evident physical strength are bigger indicators to me, I love Tomboys. (for way too many reasons, some psychological, many physical)

I've never had a short girlfriend, and I oft times wonder what it'd be like, but I'm in no hurry to change things up, I'm in Love.

I wouldn't say that for me, Beauty is much different between heights, there are some absolutely gorgeous Girls of any height/size and I meet each of the same

All considered though, I've always held a private reservation about not wanting to grow old with a short girl, I'm tiny enough and many elderly women appear wizened and withered in the climate of Kern County.. But I imagine that's due to poor nutrition and skin upkeep, which wouldn't be the case with my partner of any height, I'd take care of her as we age gracefully
