irony of life.

as I am, my wife must be taller than me.

first thing I will continue looking out for in the woman I want to marry is her height, she must be obviously taller than me, then other things follow.

if I'm taller than her, we can't marry.

however, short or tall in height is relative.

what you see as short might be tall to someone else.

imagine Anthony Joshua calling Cristiano Ronaldo short man because Jushua is taller than Ronaldo. whereas, Ronaldo is not a short guy.

You must be real short, I mean, you must be brief. You are so pained over this 'short' of a thing. Why are you taking it personal? You're not the only Nigerian girl here.

Strange that you'd want a woman towering over you, but hey, to each their own.

What's the issue you guys seem to have with short girls? I swear it's the 1st time I'm hearing about it here. Where I'm from it's not an issue. My mom was only 4'11 but had a 6ft + guy spinning her around like a pizza dough or whatever they did in private grin
Anyway imo, couples look "good" together, when the guy is slightly taller than the woman. Imagine having to look down at your guy, I'm sure it makes the woman feel masculine or like she's playing with dolls all over again cheesy

I heared short guys are psychologically intimidated by ladies taller than them. Also, the short girls like the really tall men to complement their gene pool. Are these facts or mere assumptions?

Not 100% facts, not 100% false either.

So, for some ladies, choosing a short partner don't matter to them cos there maybe other inner qualities that make up for that..
Same goes for Guys who would choose a short partner.

Many short ladeis are irresistably beautiful inside and outside hence Guys with good eyes can't pass that up.

don't get it wrong, sis. there is nothing strange about this at all. it is just a perfect one for me.
and, don't think any woman taller than her partner would be dominating, height doesn't give domination.
a man will always be a man, no matter how they see it.
seems u don't know how manly I feel when talking to a girl that appear taller.
now, imagine me having such as a wife. it is such a perfect bliss.

I don't think any guy should be having issues with short girls, though. cos naturally, men prefer having a partner they are taller than, cos to them, that's how to appear manly to a woman.
I will never have issues with short girls, cos I had dated short girls in the past, and I'm still having some today. height is nothing to me.
but my wife must be taller.

the bolded, though. grin grin you is a funny person.

imagine having to look up at your babe and she keeps kneeling down to greet u as her husband, seeing you with a briefcase and she walks up to you with smile+hug+kisses and collects the case from you and says 'welcome sweetheart/darling', and goes to the kitchen and makes some delicacies and brings it to you at the dining table, etc.

see, no matter how it is, the man is always the husband. no two ways about it.

And another thing is; The height considered tall for a lady might not be considered tall as a man.

A lady of 5'6 or 5'7 will tag herself tall, unlike a man

You're so right about this. I'm 5'8, and I consider myself as a short guy embarassed e dey pain me gan anytime I see all these small small boys wey don dey tall pass me cry

5.8 is above average naaah.

which kind thing be this.

are u expecting urself to be taller than everyone u see? Same as u will always see people you are taller than.


the only guys that should be complaining are the ones shorter than 5.5. even at that, there is alway a woman for everyone.

you can only be short in the eyes of someone 6ft and above.


you are taller than average female height in Nigeria.

I'm 5'6 though.........i don't know if I should consider that as short or average, but I would rather have a lady of my height or 5'5


I don't want 5'3 or less
Re: Does Height Really Matter When Picking A Partner? by Nobody: 12:27pm On Mar 07, 2020
Well...from my experience not so long ago, I'll yes.
Short guys feel intimidated and this tends to make them edgy or angry at the slightest.
I met one recently who was always feeling less of himself. Any little thing he'll think it because of his height he's being taken for granted or he's not loved because of his height.

I tried severally to allay his fears that I'm not after heights but due to his past experiences with girls who dumped him because of his height, he didn't believe me.
We broke up anyways. He seems to be intimidated by his height and feels no one wants him.


As for whether to it matters, hmmm I think from my experience, it now matters. I can't stand an edgy man. And they can be very unforgiving. Yes! Quote me anywhere. They are hard hearted too.

Tall guys tend to find petite ladies attractive which is kind of annoying since I'm very tall and most of the guys eyeing me are at least 3 inches shorter than I am. I'm 6'1.
