I am dating a girl who is 5'11" right now - she says she has never and will never date anyone shorter than her... she finds those guys (no matter good-looking) to be unattractive as a potential mate.
As another 5'11" girl - while I've been encouraged by female relatives to only date guys my height or taller, I think that's a bit unrealistic. When you're this tall, you can't necessarily expect a guy to be taller than you. Not to mention that you're missing out on great personality matches when you think of physical qualifications too much. (by the way, lots of y'all do like 'em skinny. If a girl is 5'8" or taller, 140 lbs. is actually pretty darn thin. Unless you're into toothpicks (or 18-year-olds who haven't filled out yet), you're going to want no less and probably more. Unless you're just into shorter girls anyway, which a lot of y'all are (and which I always suspected ). I was thinking I would probably want to end up with someone bigger, say maybe 6'1" and 225, give or take some... that way, I would still be the smaller one and not have to feel bad for not being skinny... Of course, I end up with 5'9" and 150. Oh well. At least I didn't pick based on physical qualifications. He's a good looking guy, but I always have to arrange pictures of us so I don't look a lot bigger than him.
i would date a girl your height which i have (she was the girl i have cared the most about in my life) im 6ft tall, but not one inch more though
