A 5’9 male checking in, statistically I am pretty average, walking into rooms my height will not garner attention. To really tall people I will seem short, and to very short people I come off as tall. But to most I am in the average range.
I am open to dating women who are much shorter than me and those who are taller. Hard to tell what my cutoff is, I have met some women who I thought were 5’3 but told me they were 5’0.
I think like plenty of people what I picture a height in real life versus on paper is different. Some will say 5’9 is small, but this is nonsense, it is actually quite a good height and is not diminutive at all.
Generally I prefer a woman to not be too far off my height, I don’t like to really tower above my girlfriend. I am open to dating in the range of 5’0-6’1. So I guess women eight inches shorter and those roughly four inches taller. I’m secure with a chick being taller than me. Strange but if a woman who is say 5’10-6’0, it kind of turns me on in a weird way. Don’t know why. In my large apartment building there is an attractive young woman who is I would say no shorter 5’11, most likely 6’0-6’1, and her boyfriend is roughly my height. Seems they gave each other a chance and hit it off. I would not be opposed to dating a tall woman.
Tall women vary in attractiveness, some strikingly beautiful, others pretty odd looking, for some it enhances their beauty, for other women it detracts. I think over 6’2 is too much, gives somewhat of a masculine quality. Especially with black women, I know it is stupid but for some reason very tall black women don’t look good to me, think 6’2 and above.
On the flip side I don’t like if a woman is very small, to my waist.
Speaking of height I think many women, especially younger ones are growing much taller, catching up with men in height. Everyday I see women my height or taller. But most are no taller than 6’1, with 6’2 plus being rare among women. Even those who are taller than me, I still am at least up to their neck if not above. So even at 5’9 most women don’t tower over me.
I was swiping Tinder today and one profile was of a chick who was 6’9, and her pictures proved it. Cute gal I must say, but I would feel weird dating her, she is a foot taller than me. Too much.
That must be both awesome and a drag at the same time. Something tells me a woman who is that height can’t afford to be very picky, even tall men are still much shorter. Or else she will be alone for a very, very very long time.
