Do You Consider Height A Major Issue In Choosing A Partner? by achorjp(m): 8:24am On Nov 16, 2012
I've got a lady with virtues i always look out for.

She has got high percentage of what i want in a woman, but her height is of average, and it has been a serious concern for me.

I've not been able to propose to her because of this. Please advise me. I'm not a short man neither a tall man yet she is not up to my height.

Do You consider height a major issue in a choice of a life partner?

See man,the only(and i repeat)the only attribute that should warrant a rethink in you chosing your life time spouse should be her Character,every other thing is secondary and not very important.
Trust me,a good number of girls lack that simple but important attribute. And if you'v found that in a girl,you need to thank your stars and work to harness other attiributes you want to see in her.
A bad character is almost never 'redeemable'.
Forget her skin color or the shape of her a.r.se or the fact that she snors when sleeping or the fact that you have to lift her off the ground a little before kissing.grin
All these are not as important as my aforementioned attribute.
My two cents anyway.grin

Well for the fact that you brought this issue to this forum is the fact that you having doubts about her already because of her height,so I will advise you just let her be and go for someone else.

We all have what we consider attractive,that a girl has a good character doesnt necessarily mean I have to marry her,she has to be attractive to me,her face,height etc.

We all have individual preferences and personaly for me I cant marry a girl who is taller than me and a girl who is shorter than my shoulder height.

So for me height is a issue.


My2Cent:Op,love entails loving everything about someone,if you are not satisfied with her height then I advise you go for someone else,also have it at the back of your mind that she doesnt have any control over her height,thats likely how she will be.
So think about this so you wont be irritated after marrying her.

Height is important to some and to some, it is not. I don't thinK I can marry a woman who is very short with respect to my height. So Perhaps you are right

So let me get this straight:
You met a nice chick that is evrrything you desire in a woman but you have a problem with her being of average height?

You claim you're not tall nor short, which means you are also average.

So whats wrong with an average height guy being with an average height woman? Shoot you should be happy she aint as short as Snooki. LOL

Height is important 2 sum pple n not 2 sum others,look @ Kris humpries n Kim K,did u c their height difference. Relationship involves compromise,u may never get exactly everytin u want in 1 person so even if u move on 2 anoder person u may still find out u have an issue with her. If u feel u cannot compromise in d case of height n u can bear 2 leave d relationship because of it den 5yn because its sumtin she has no control ova,so don't do sumtin u will regret bt if u can live with den go 4 her. But 4 me sha,my husband has got 2 b tall,I'm smallish n I wouldn't want smallish or short children lyk moi,so in d 1st place I wouldn't date a short guy

you had to site an example with Kris H n Kim K? See how that turned out.

@OP. Sometimes we let less important issues cloud our judgement, but if her height's gonna be a huge issue in ur marriage then don't even bother marrying her.

Personally i like tall guys. I pray everyday that my future hubby's gonna be taller than my 5'6" and still satisfy my other husband requirements.

As for me, height matters. Cos i‘m tall. And i personally put height into consideration even if the person is an Angel. I can‘t afford to live the rest of my life with someone i don‘t entirely appreciate.
Op, there are good girls out there with good height, take your time.
Sample well well & find the person that has got the personality that totally suits you 95%.

Bros Archorjp,

I used to have this issue too. But I spoke with someone who helped me to prioritize. It's like wanting a woman with big boobs and then when you get in you discover that there are lots of tins you don't like about her. So I say you prioritize. What is more important to you, marrying a chic that's got height or marrying a chic that flows with you and will bring you happiness? Note, that you can't have everything at the beginning.

There are certain questions you need to consider: Do you feel you can live with her for the rest of your life? Why is height so important to you? What do you hope to achieve with a taller chic? Do you think you would be happier with a tall chic than with a short one? Is she short , beautiful and presentable?

But if I were you and this chic scores like 70% in the things I want in a wife and fails in the height part only, bros I go marry am oh, cos 70% is an A, you know. And a A-chic is hard to find.
