I’m almost 16 and have NEVER had a boyfriend. I’m about 5’11″-6″ (I’m not exactly sure). It seems to me that guys are intimidated by girls who are taller than them or just as tall. Is this true?
P.S. Not to sound conceded at all, but I’m not ugly, and I’ve been told multiple times that my sister and I are both gorgeous, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Thanks for all the answers so far! I’m not the most gorgeous person out there, just to clear that up, but I’m not ugly by far. I play volleyball, basketball, and softball so i have an athletic body but its not mannish. And I have a personality so I think it is my height… But anyway, thanks for all the answers so far. You guys are great







some guys like short girls… i do i just kinda find the tallness wrong sorta mannish i don’t like the tallness ewies
sometimes, it wouldnt make a difference if i really like someone who was really tall
im only 5’2 and the shortest girl ive ever dated was 5’8. the tallest was 6’2. im short so im definitely not intimidated by taller girls as most people are taller than me however i think a lot of guys would rather be with a girl the same height or shorter. for me its all about the personality
Nah – it makes you seem like a model… which is pretty freaken sweeet!
i think that sometimes guys just wouldnt want to date someone who towers over them unfortunately. some day soon though you will find someone who cares about you no matter what! I feel your pain though i’m tall too
answer mine:
Yes and its kinda natural. Most likely a guy thats about 6’6″ will be looking for u. Its just one of those things that is really undescribable when it comes to what guys like, but yes they like shorter girls (than themselves at least). If ur taller than them, it kinda gives them the vibe of being inferior, as i have heard from many of my friends. Its just one of those things that cant be dealt with by talking or anything. Be happy for who u are and enjoy being tall. Its a gift more than anything. Thats how u have to think of it.
If you are not “ugly”, then no, unless they are shorter than you. Guys who are shorter than you can be intimidated. I am not, but I am 6’4, so I would still be a bit taller, so I wouldnt be put off at all as long as our personality clicked.
If you’re skinny enough and gorgeous, being tall makes you look like a model! =]
If a guy is confident it shouldn’t matter… I’m a little bit taller then my boyfriend and he’s perfectly fine with it… =] I’m like 5’6 by the way… chubby but not ugly so don’t worry the right guy will come to you tall or short…good luck!
Yes. Most guys don’t like the girl to stand tall that him. Just look at couples where ever you go. They will either be of matching height or the guy will be taller.
5’11 – 6 foot in a girl is tall, but you have to remember, girls mature 2 years earlier than guys. So at 16 you have grown, but the guy, he is beginning to grow.
Honestly, when you hit 18 – 20. You are going to find your height isn’t going to be a big issue.
For most guys, being taller than them doesn’t scare them away. But they generally like to date girls a little shorter than them.
But this one time there was a girl who stayed at our house for 2 weeks from Belgium. She was 6ft 1 which is so incredibly tall for a girl.
But boy, was she confident! She was really pretty and she knew it to.
Her Boyfriend was really tall too. He was 6ft 4. But alot of my guy friends ed to make comment about how hot she was.
And there are lots of short and average sized girls out there that feel like their something wrong with them because they think they are repelling of guys too.
Im about 5ft 6 or 7. So Im and average height, but I still find it hard to date guys because im shy about the way I look.
There someone for everyone, and out there, even if you are 6ft there is BOUND to be a guy out there still taller than you that would very gladly date you if you are as gorgeous as you say.
And even still, there are guys out there that won’t care if your taller of whether your gorgeous or not, they’ll want to date you or be with you because they like as a person and think your AW SOME!
Hi livexlov,
Sometimes guys in high school do seem to be intimidated by tall girls, but don’t let that discourage you. Your time will come!
In the worlds of fashion, entertainment, business, professions, athletics, academics, etc., tall women are preeminent.
You’ll find that as your male peers mature physically (guys do mature a little later than girls), emotionally, and socially your height will cease to daunt them. They’ll be attracted to you for your personality, character, and achievements as well as physical qualities.
So stand tall and be proud of yourself. Showing quiet, natural self-assuredness in itself is a magnet.
good luck,
-P.
Well, I am 4′ 11” and this guy I want, likes the tall ones… he is 6′ 1′ but he said I was cute, but I think he meant little kid cute.
I really just depends if the guy is stuck up or not. You just have to find a good guy.
By the way, the guy I like, isn’t stuck up.
