Short girls are generally cuter than taller ones because they fit into the petite category.
Am I attracted to them? Yes
Would I date one? Yes
Would I have 'relations' with one? Hell Yeah!
Would I have a child with one? No, but that's just me hunting for the perfect gene pool. I'm 6'1, almost 6'2, and want my kids to be tall too. Stronger genes means increased intelligence (on average but not definitively), they'd deserve the best possible start in life.

I don't honestly think there's any correlation between tallness and intelligence. Besides if the girl you were going for was really smart there's little chance her offspring would be different (unless of course you were rather thick yourself). Plus I don't see why you wouldn't want a child with a shorter woman if she's was the one for you and ticked all your boxes. It'd be heartless to turn her down for a serious commitment simply because she was short...

Tbh I don't think I'd marry a short girl, would get a girl around 5'6 to marry probs. Would have a short girlfriend who's around 5'1 for sure though.

so like 5'1-5'4?

what a stupid question, height is completely irrelevant, if someone is a nice person, i would find them no less or more attractive if they were taller/shorter.
I'm 5 11", and don't really mind that much about height.

I said the correlation was between stronger genes and intelligence, second time I've had to say this, people need to learn to read :s-smilie:

Also, yea, it'd be pretty heartless to turn her away because she was short. I wouldnt do that, I just wouldnt have children with her. Even if she ticked all the boxes of things I like in a woman, it wouldn't be the best genetic start for our child. I'm not saying I wouldnt have relationships with them, I just wouldnt have children with them.
I'm a 5"8 guy and I only date taller girls. My last girlfriend was taller than me and my current one is the same height.
tbh im sure heels have sorted the short problem out ! it just means short girls will have more bruised and horrible feet than taller girls because they tend to have to wear heels more often than taller women.

If more than one person is having trouble understanding what you've said, that indicates that there was something unclear about the way you expressed yourself, not that all those peoplle can't read.

'Stronger genes' is not a clear turn of phrase to use anyway - that could mean genes that make a person have physical strength or it could mean genes that are desirable. This thread is about tallness and shortness, not physical strength anyway. Could you explain what you actually meant in a logical and clear fashion? Then maybe people wouldn't have trouble understanding.

Plus turning down a woman for procreation is still harsh. I like how people apparently switch on and off their romantic feelings for someone based on cultural or genetic compatability. For me turning off your feelings for someone is an impossibility

What about a girl who's 5'6, is that too tall?


6'4" guy here; 5'6" is definitely not too tall. If anything 5'6" is pretty much bang on the money for a tall SO: any shorter and we 'tallies' start looking a little creepy.

So how tall would you prefer your girl to be?

I would like a 5:5 to 5:8 :redface:

Yeaaah those are some nice heights :biggrin: I guess because it's more feminine, and it makes us feel bigger and protective over them? Can't really explain why, all I know is that its nice :tongue:

Okay the thing is I don't mind small girls (anything 5"1 and up) but it's when they're too small it kinda creeps me out a bit (there I said it!)
