What is Your Height and Dream Partner's Height?

submitted by CJLez from self.Lesbians

As the title says - I'm curious if most people like a partner a similar height or prefer to have a marked difference.

I'd date someone regardless of their height if I liked them, but in an ideal situation they'd be somewhat close to mine as it just seems more practical. I'm 5'0" so I guess ideally they'd be between 4'9" - 5'3"

Well since Dolly is already spoken for to fulfill my dream since I was 6 years old I went out and found my own a 5’1, blonde woman with DD’s. I’m 5’6 until I put my boots on for the day and become 5’7.

I'm 5'3" and my girlfriend is 5'10". Not sure that I have a preference one way or the other, as long as I'm attracted to her.

I love taller women than me :) (EDIT: Even though I love taller women, whatever height won't be a deal breaker to me. I've dated shorter and even the same height as me)

Me too. And that is easy to achieve, as I am pretty tiny myself (158 cm, and I never met woman smaller than myself yet).

Lucky you, I'm 170 cm 🙃

[–]VioletRemi 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

At least not 188 cm like one my friend :D

Jeez, really tall! Honestly, 175 cm would be already super good to me :P it could be more, sure, but just a little taller would already be perfect! :)

I'm 5'9", I don't think I care too much, but I would feel a little uncomfortable if she was quite a bit taller than me. I guess it depends a lot on the person, maybe I wouldn't actually care. I'm quite tall, so I haven't met many lesbians that were taller than me.

I'm 5'2" so like 5'2"-5'4" not shorter than me but not too tall.

[–]Seahorse 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't care about height.

I've dated women taller and shorter it doesn't matter to me, my partner and I are around the same height 5'4".

I’m on the upper end of average height. I think the best height difference is within 4”/10 cm in either direction, which covers both short and tall women. But it’s not a deal-breaker by any means.

I’m attracted to tall women but my only very petty thought is that I get called tall a lot because of how I’m built but I’m really just hanging out in the upper reaches of average. Standing next to an actual tall woman gets rid of that illusion. Again, very petty and not a deal-breaker.

Since I am a short 5'1'' it is very likely of finding someone taller than me, which is also what I prefer. I wouldn't be against someone about my height though.

I'm 164 and my partner is 166, which is pretty much perfect for me. I do prefer a woman who's taller than me but it's not a dealbreaker - I just lucked into my ideal with this one 😻

I don't care at all about height. Everyone is taller than me at 5'0. If you take care of your body and mind, have a career, don't do drugs or overindulge in alcohol, and have no kids - plz tell me more about yourself.

It hardly matters but someone short like me would be great, I'm only 5'3". Shorties unite!

I've always thought I was short at 5'3". Wtf @ that seems common for this thread? Lol. I'm about that high, would not date anyone shorter than me. One of us has to be able to reach the top shelf at Target, dammit. I have no height ceiling.

The average height for women in the UK is 5'3" and in the US it's 5'4" - I think a lot of it depends on what ethnicities/nationalities live in your area - I'm 5'0" and in the East of England (where a lot of people are descended from Vikings and there hasn't been much immigration since the middle ages - to the point where people from just one county over are considered 'exotic' and 'weird freaks' by most older people) I'm incredibly short compared to the average person. But when I lived in London I was only a little bit short.

I tend to just jump up and make futile grabbing gestures until someone asks if I'd like them to reach something

I've been attracted to women of varying heights, but if a woman is taller than me (I'm 5'6") and especially if they're taller than 5'10 and we click, I'm puddy in her hands!

[–]knownasness 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

i'm 5 7 and only have dated women within 1 or 2 inches of my height but i kinda want a 6 footer to climb yanno. it doesn't matter but i think it'd be fun haha

[–]Lessom 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I’m 5’6. My ideal woman would be around the same height but It wouldn’t be a dealbreaker if she wasn’t.

[–]zephyranthes 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

My dream height is 6'6 (unfortunately, I'm only 5'5 IRL). My dream partner's, I don't care in the slightest, just please don't make short jokes at my expense.

[–]wherethelonelyroam 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Im 155cm (around 5'2) and Id like someone taller than me! I like feeling petite and taller women just makes me swoon 😍

[–]Rubyredpython 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm 5'2 and just want a woman who's taller than me. We both can't struggle to reach the top shelf. lol

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I'm 4'11" and I could care less since everyone is taller than me anyway lol
