Hi my fellow C.C members we do serve a God whose ways are higher than our ways and in terms of relationships we have particular feelings about what we would like in a partner and are trusting God witg our hearts desires. When it comes to personal preferences does a persons height really matter.Would any guys have any issues being with a female who is taller than then?Would females have an issue being with a guy whose shorter than them?
I know that some guys sense of masculinity can be affected if who they are with is much taller than them for example.I know that some females psychologically like the idea of a guy whose taller as it represents social presence or a sense of manly protection...or just more physically appealing.
Be nice to hear what your views are..✍🏻😊😊

I suspect there are less then 100 women on the planet who are actually taller than me, so I have no concerns. Even if it's 200 or 2,000, I don't expect to be dating any of them. :cool:

I think it matters more about what's in his heart.

I was looking at celeb couples and about half the wives were taller than their hubbies, George Clooney and wife being one of them. So, ya, if that spark is there then that's a good start.

Being taller is important if what you want it on the top shelf.
Need to change light bulb or fire detector battery without a ladder.
Run reasonably fast
See which way to go in a crowd
Big Tall:
If you want to make others think twice before doing something stupid around you.
If you want total strangers to cross the street at night to avoid walking past you

Being shorter is better if it is on the bottom shelf.
of if you live in a place with a low ceiling
or if you intend to live to like 100
or if you want to pay less for clothing and shoes
or if you want to be a plumber or another trade that involves small spaces
or if you want to have a lower risk for back problems
if you want to be better at hide and seek
if you want to own and drive a VW Beetle or even a normal sized care for that matter.

I would not prefer a taller woman. Equal height is fine, but not taller.
Yet like many of my physical preferences it's a preference and could potentially be bypassed to a degree, for the right person.

I prefer tall men...like 5,10 or above. I just notice height on a man fairly quickly. But it's okay if he's not that tall. I think that as long as he's taller than me, we should be good. I'm 5,2.

what should i say.. hmm... flesh says wow it would be attractive if he's 6 feet. It gives sense of protectiveness, gives impression of someone elder than you i dunno. but, spirit says God knows what's best for you because flesh changes time to time and gets bored of same feature or characteristic. Hence, i can't rely on it. For example, sometimes you are gonna think ah partner with blue eyes looks so appealing, sometimes oh turkish hottie lol , sometimes asian, sometimes brown, sometimes europeans, sometime tall! Eventually after a while you are gonna get bored surely me too if i have a partner like that. But, maybe look for something which is gonna last long maybe how smart he/she is how does he/she deal with things. To be Honest, i still struggle with my flesh seeing other girls with their handsome boyfriends it again makes me think umm he should be tall...... just like her boyfriend is... i think... God... are you there? i need such a husband one day. lol After few days i forget then again another handsome guy ohh God i want someone like him and loop just continues it never ends. That's what flesh is. I am asking God to fill me with maturity and spirit so i don't listen to temporary cravings of flesh. We all need to do this it's important. Normally, majority of men are not gonna choose women taller than them but again depending upon culture this can vary. On the contrary, women are also less likely to choose men shorter than them same depends upon culture. People from regions with diversity and open mindset may accept partner like that as long as other person sees some benefit. Like, He is rich but shorter women may not just reject him straight and for females if suppose there is also something that can hold him men may choose her. Spark don't last wrong it is promise and commitment that keeps relationship going. Whatever, i say is not fact it's just my general perception.

My wife grew up with the expectation of marrying someone 6’0 or over.

I’m 5’11 and3/4! Almost a dealbreaker.

Most definitely.It takes a spark initially to create a flame (bit metaphorical here)

It matters to me coz I feel safe and he can have a damsel to save, even if I have to fake it. 😆 They get to be the superhero. But that's easy for me to say since Im only 5'1. 🤣

I am of average height for a female though am taller than both my parents most men seem to be taller than me, but I found it really annoyng when one guy I dated kept putting his hand on my shoulder like he was leaning ON me all the time. And taller people tend to look down on you, which is why you both sit down on chairs so you can be the same height. Otherwise its just too hard to see eye to eye.

When I work with children I just get right down on the floor with them since some are so little.

I used to think women wore high heels so they could be of equal height to their taller male partners, but then some guy told me oh not its not cos of that its to make your legs look slim annd Im thinking what planet are they on. WE WEAR THEM TO BE TALLER DUDE.

I remember my favorite poem when I was a kid 😊

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Poem by : Cecil F. Alexander


I am a tiny lady although I prefer 5'ft to 5'8"ft...height doesn't matter for me, as the poem says All things are wise and wonderful the Lord God made them all 😇
