Dermot O'Leary & Short v Tall

I thing dermy is lush! I do prefer a tall man though, always have. OH is a smidge over 6ft and I am only 5ft 3.

In absolute terms, I prefer tall men. That doesn't mean short men can't be attractive (although I don't fancy Dermot O'Leary). But there's a limit on shortness - 5'7'' is too short, sorry.

Having been out with a shirt bloke, and now married to a tall bloke there is no comparison, tall is tons better IMO. He is 6,5" and of rugby player stature. Feel extremely safe in his hands [wink] and there is nothing like getting a cuddle from a big hunky man. Also, cos he is so big the bonus is I always look small next to him, no Matter how fat I get ?

?

That makes my OH a munchkin as he's only 5 ft 6 ?

Wouldn't change him for the world though, he's perfect height for kissing!

And Dermot is a little bit lush.

My H is 5ft 4, i am 5ft 7!

ive have exes that are over 6ft and there isnt really a difference. obviously i prefer H as i married him but that has nothing to do with height.

when we first started going out I would avold wearing heels but now im not fussed, doubt H is either as he gets a better view of my clevage!

So long as they are taller than me it wouldn't really be an iusse. So any thing over 5'6'' really. Dermot's still in with a chance!

?

Dermot is a fitty, fact. and i dont see him as being short at all? hes the same height as Mr F!?!? The again, being 5"1, i have a different perspective on whats tall and short i guess!!

He comes into work occasionally as his good mate works here and always seems incredibly shy but always very polite. I just can't stand the thing he does every single bloody week when he comes on stage where he flings his arm up and kicks his leg out and spins around. Don't know why but it bugs the hell out of me!

This. Dermot - totally would. I'm 5ft 7 and H is 6ft1. Couldn't go out with a dwarf.

In my list of qualities for my ideal man, I would list tall as one of them. I'm 5'8, which isn't exactly huge, but I do like to wear heels quite a lot.

Mr B is about 5'11, which makes me shorter than him barefoot, but around the same height, or even taller in my highest heels. I don't like that I don't "fit" under his arm when we're walking together, so he'll rarely put his arm around my shoulders because it's uncomfortable. Although he's average height, he has to wear short leg jeans as he has an unusually long back but short legs!

It's the best part of the show!

It's the best part of the show!

sames!!

? It all adds up!

At least us girls can add a few inches with heels, must be horrible to be a short bloke.

This made me smile. Blaming lack of height for a high BMI!

As long as they taller than me I dont really care, which at 5ft 2 isnt exactly hard.

My H is 5ft 10 and that is perfect for me.

This makes you sound like you have been 'busy' * ?

* I'm only making a joke of this as I know you haven't.

I'm 5'6" and Mr R is 6'2". I would say i prefer taller blokes because i feel quite tall (compared to my other female friends.) I can also wear heels al not tower over Mr R which is nice!

One of his exes was 5'11" so compared to her he thinks I'm "small" Hilarious, before being with him I had never been called small in my life!

Me and the hubby are the same height, which is fine by me as I prefer short men.

Nothing worse than an tall, gangly man....

Actually, you have a point.

Dermot is the exception,he is gorgeous and i love his dancing.

For my ideal man i like tall and a rugby players body.

We look really stupid together though and i am so small but i don't care.

Dermot IMO is an average 5 out of 10, well maybe 6! Definitely tall men for me.

?? It does doesnt it?!

Agree with HT and Tricks, as long as they are taller than me it's fine. OH is only about half n inch taller than me, I am 5'11" though! I couldn't date a smaller guy.

That half inch makes all the difference pinky!

I'd much rather date someone the same height as me than a lanky, glangly man that towers above me.

Dermot is the exception for me too!

I like tall men. And preferably slim but muscley. I don't know why, but I've always wondered if it was because the first boyfriend who I was in love with was 6'4", slim, and very muscley.

Also I've always had this idea in my head that short, stocky men must sweat more!

As long as they're taller than me, i'm happy (I'm only 5'5" anyway!). H is 5'10ish which works quite nicely. I have an ex who is 6'8" and built like a brick sh1thouse and that was terrible! He used to rest his pint on my head in the pub... It didn't help that he was also a complete psycho and very, very intimidating when he was in one.

I'd definitely prefer a guy to be taller than me. I've never dated anyone shorter, so I don't know if it'd be a deal breaker or not. I'm only 5'5", so shorter than me would be fairly short for a guy.

I don't think I could date anyone if I could beat them in an arm wrestle. And I'd prefer not to weigh more than anyone I dated too. (Though I'm pretty sure I'm going to be heavier than H in a few months, but it doesn't count during pregnancy!)
