what is short for guys? Also how long did you wait?

Ok i've just started seeing a guy, thing is i'm 5'9 and he is either the same hieght or an inch or 2 taller...i can't tell cos i'm either wearing one inch heels when i see him or my converse..which probably add another inch! Anyway im usually looking very slighty up at him and when we are sitting down he's always higher than me (if that makes sense). Anyway tht probably makes him 5'10 ? DO you think this is short...especially since im soo tall?? My type is usually really tall dudes and even my friends were suprised when they found out i liked him...but i really fancy this guy and we get on really well.

Also on a totally different note...how long did u wait till you slept your current/previous partner? i've been seeing this guy for 3weeks and i have no intention of jumping into bed with him anytime soon but i was talking about it with my friends..one friend slept with her boyf of 3 years on the 2nd date, another after 6 months another after 3months (all of them were virgins)...i know it totally depends on how close and comfortable you feel with the person ur with...just wondered about everyone else? :smile:

Average height for men is 5ft 10 so he is OK

Average height is 5'8" for males, 5'5" for females.

As for when you should sleep with him - whenever you feel like it. What did you want to hear?

Ermmmmmm about the height thing, average height for men in UK IS 5ft 10, 5ft 8 will be considered as short or are you talking about average men's height from another country?

As long as he's over 4 inches, you're good.

I'm 6'5. Grah.

I'm 5ft9 and when I'm out with my male friends or in school, I feel so inadequate, but they're not even that tall - even an inch makes all the difference :eek:

Um we waited 4 weeks but we'd been friends for months before we started going out so we felt very comfortable with each other.

I'm 5ft 9 but have a thing for short guys :redface:

It can be a bit embarassing at times but to be honest I think it must be worse for the guy hehe.
I don't think you shouldn't get with someone just because they're a teensy bit shorter though.

It's not the size that matters but how you use it :wink:

umm i think shortness is all relative? 5'10'' certainly isn't short in my books... but then i'm 5'3'' and am fine with any guy who is about 5'6'' plus. if you really fancy him, don't worry about how tall he is!! i

5'10 is not short thats average i would say,
and i think a couple who are pretty much the same height is quite good, no strain on the neck for iver of you :wink:

Also on a totally different note...how long did u wait till you slept your current/previous partner? i've been seeing this guy for 3weeks and i have no intention of jumping into bed with him anytime soon but i was talking about it with my friends..one friend slept with her boyf of 3 years on the 2nd date, another after 6 months another after 3months (all of them were virgins)...i know it totally depends on how close and comfortable you feel with the person ur with...just wondered about everyone else?

i waited just under a month with my exe and let me tell you it wasn;t worth the wait lol

but you have to feel totally confident in yourself so whenever you feel ready to you can;t force yourself into something as you just won't enjoy it if you do that!!

I usually let the girl decide how long till we have sex, I never put any pressure on them.
First girlfriend was after bout 4 months
My ex we didn’t before we were going out
Girlfriend now was after 3 weeks. :biggrin:

I'd say that 6" or taller is good, but as for being "too short" basically anyone my height or shorter. (I am 5'5"/5'6".) (My boyfriend is 6'4"!)

As for your second question, I am still waiting.

I am 5'6-7". Pretty short for a guy actually, but taller than most women I know, so I'm not embarrassingly short. However I subconsciously don't want to end up dating a girl whose taller than me, I don't think my alpha male pride could take it. I waited about 4-5 months to have sex with my first girlfriend, but with others it was a far shorter period of waiting.
