For starters, i'm 6 ft. 3 inches so i hardly meet girls that are as tall as me bt i've
noticed with surprise that most chics say that they can't marry a guy that's shorter
than them ( by 3 to 4 inches or more) so i'd like to sample the opinions of the very
beautiful and intelligent women-folk of Nairaland on this issue. A friend of mine
recently broke off a 4 year old relationship with her (now) ex-bf on the grounds
that he was too short to become her husband. Would u have done the same if it was u?
Does height really matter that much?

I am 5'10

He is 5'7

I also love wearing high heels as well

We are going to marry - I can't wait!

Yes - I will and am going to marry a man who is shorter in height - I adore him!

Russell Simmons - 5'9 and 1/2
Kimora Lee - 6'0 - barefoot


Nicole Kidman - 5'11 - barefoot
Keith Urban - 5' 7 and 1/2

ahahahahaha

oooo Omolola

Yes o Shy

are u surprised? lol

Guys listen:

It is NOT ABOUT HEIGHT

It is about presentation and packaging and confidence and really, really loving that other person - for who they are

And honestly speaking - if you look good and you are taller than your mate and you are a woman - stay in shape - simply put - be somebody that everybody wants to wrap their arms around, dress well, smell good

you can keep the focus on "who you are" - because they will see a gorgeous woman who happens to be tall and looks great on that fella's arm - that shorter man will be revered and envied

I don't feel odd with a shorter man - because if he is masculine - he is such a powerhouse to me - I can't wait to get with him.  Tom Cruise still looks good, masculine, confident, happy and both his wives were taller than he.

@ Omolola

No - I'm not surprised - you know most people would feel odd - I used to be in that category as well - I always had all height men approach me - taller, same height, shorter.

I didn't date shorter men before.  But this one - ooo boi - I just crave this negro - his height isn't a deterrent for me - I too am surprised - he is sooo such a perfect match, we are very very similar so, oh well screw the height.

I gotta have me some HIM.  It is as simple as that.

Shy, people are different jare!
Personaly, i dnt lyk short guys, av never bn approached by a short guy nyway. . .lol

I know mommy

But this ONE FELLA - ooo girl

I gotta have me some HIM!!!! - I eat, I sleep, I breathe him - he is everywhere I look

Hey how tall are you?

Not so tall gurl, am 5'7

You and this ur bf, u really do love him, i like love stories like urs. . .smiles

Lol. Nice one

I just got off the phone with a friend and i asked her the same question. Her reply
"It's not about height, it's the[b] length[/b] that matters". lol

koolchicco:

Rotfl.

Woke4all:

@OP, [b] These days the ladies don't have a choice provided he have a di.ck. [/b]

ROTFL

Sincerely, they say different strokes for different folks, well as a dude never would i feel comfortable with a lady who's taller than i am even though she's money to lure me into married, i'll only pretend just to rob her 4 sometime nd disappear.

Besides, how do you want me to cuddle that kind of lady in public? i won't even hv the courage to cos i'll definately look like a child playin with his mama nd "d girl go come dey use her hand take rob ur head like a baby?lol". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I go wan kiss my wife i go go dey borrow apoti to stand on? NEVER!!! [for instance] i don't care if i'm 4feet tall, i'll go for 3'6feet lady. Well thank God am 6'3 tall anyway.

really?

u will change your story if u find someone when u aren't looking who u have everything in common with as well as if you are sexually attractive and if u are perfectly matched.

your daily happiness will be more important to you than what a stranger thinks about seeing you from afar with someone who is taller.

this shorter man and I have more in common than the previous men who were all taller than me - over 6 feet

so u will overlook a beautiful bombshell because you can't handle her height being taller than you?

being a man - has NOTHING TO DO WITH HEIGHT

OP,

No, I will not marry a man that is short. I married a tall, black, and handsome man.

omolola u dey vex o.who knws whether na ikeregbe u go fall for?

^^^Awesome, thats the defination of me lol

Shy-One:

being a man - has NOTHING TO DO WITH HEIGHT

lol.
Shy you must be kidding me.
Do dwarfs count??
I mean the main conc. Congo 'midgetic' dwarfs??
Short arms, massive hammer heads and lil' legs. Lmfao.
Imagine such a freak on ya?
But i heard they've the most active tool though. ROFLMFDO.

^^^Refering to what Mrs.chima just said.

Shy-One,

Forget about what you just said to me, with my height i rarely see ladies that are up to my height not to think of 'em taller than me.

Moreover, with my height, i end up falling in love with a girl who's taller than the way i am just know say i be OLOJU KOKORO lol

MzD@rkSkin:

What kind of shysty backside option is "if he's rich?"
this "women are gold diggers" *ish is getting ancient!

anyway i sure would. dated a guy i was taller than before
(the Liberian) and he made up for his short stature in other ways!
