Height for Guys - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Jack2009 · 19th Feb 2009, 04:46 PM

I was wondering if gay/bi guys prefer shorter or taller guys than themselves. I was thinking about generally Heterosexual guys like shorter girls, but it could be different for gays since tall guys are consider more attractive in society.

I like taller guys, but mostly because I am tall

**Lexington** · 19th Feb 2009, 04:50 PM

Again, it's an extremely tiny consideration. All things equal, I think I'd prefer a guy who is my height or smaller. Which is good, since I'm pretty tall, and it's easier to find someone shorter than taller.

Never really thought about it. I don't think it would matter to me at all.

**lostinthought9** · 19th Feb 2009, 05:01 PM

I really don't care. But I'd prefer him to be around my height. I don't want to have to stretch and reach up to him, nor do I want to have to crane my neck down to kiss the guy.

sdc91 · 19th Feb 2009, 05:22 PM

I prefer taller guys. They're more attractive to me and I don't mind looking up or something to get a smooch. Haha.

Plus I'm 5'8", so it's not that hard to get someone taller.

Étoile · 19th Feb 2009, 07:25 PM

I don't care, just as long as they aren't too short or too tall.

No One · 19th Feb 2009, 07:27 PM

6'5 - 6'6ish here. Problem solved.

Around my height or taller. I'd feel kind of awkard as the taller one, unless it wasn't a very significant difference. But I'd also feel awkward if he was like 6 inches taller than me...

Exactly

ricoca · 19th Feb 2009, 07:42 PM

Same height or taller... I'm almost 6' lol
i find it nice to have taller guys>>

TEres321 · 19th Feb 2009, 07:44 PM

preferrably taller. i dunno.

Joey · 19th Feb 2009, 07:51 PM

Shorter.. definitely. I actually have a fear of people who are taller than I am (being 6'2"). So, between 5'9 ~ 6'0" is like "the butterzone" for me; perfect.

Jack2009 · 19th Feb 2009, 07:54 PM

Oh ok cool I like taller guys as well, I'm 5,7. Seems better to me. I don't care how much taller, it's better taller

hiddendc4 · 19th Feb 2009, 07:57 PM

i think id prefer someone who is with in 2 inches of me either taller or shorter unless they had a really kick ass personality then i dont think id mind as much

RaRa · 19th Feb 2009, 07:57 PM

Just a few inches taller then me is enough. I don't really like shorter, but hey, it can happen.

Adam · 19th Feb 2009, 08:11 PM

I guess it doesn't really matter, as long as theirs not too much of a height difference.

Markio · 19th Feb 2009, 08:29 PM

Realistically, I'd probably prefer someone close to my own height. A little taller or shorter isn't that big of a deal. It's not what turns me on or off anyway. I'm 5'8"ish.

kramer362 · 19th Feb 2009, 08:43 PM

Ideally the guy would be within a few inches of my height (6 feet). I like equality and it'd feel immasculating for a guy to be like 5 inches taller, or for him if I were the one way taller. But I'd never let height get in the way if we clicked since that pretty much never happens.
