Can height, or lack of it, be a dealbreaker for you? Why or why not?
We stumbled upon a thread online wherein a guy (he’s a top) confessed that when he put his real height on his dating profile, which is 5’6,” he doesn’t get many messages. When he altered his height to 6’2,” however, all that changed and he started receiving more messages. He now asks, is height a dealbreaker for you?
A particular respondent said, “I find short guys irresistibly sexy. Please don’t change your height.” While another answered, “I didn’t think this was a thing.”
However, one user noted that although netizens in general will tell you that they “don’t really care about your height, if you go bare, dick size, ethnicity, etc., but in reality people actually do have strong preferences for these things in real life.” One respondent explained that this happens because, and we quote: “people here are often more concerned with making someone feel good than telling them the truth.”
Meanwhile, there’s a separate thread asking bottoms looking for a relationship if height mattered to them. One guy replied, “I’m on the tall side and have bottomed for a majority of shorter guys. Makes no difference when I’m bent over lol.”
Another guy, on the other hand, said, “So, harsh topic but yes and no. I am 5’9,” I do like someone around my height, probably couldn’t do very short, and much prefer taller.” He added, “Just me though.”
Having said all that, does height matter to you? Do you only date someone who has the same height as you? Would you or would you not date someone who is taller or smaller than you are? Why or why not? Share with us your thoughts and stories in the comments section below.
Since I am 6′.1″ tall…
it is always better if the trick fits nicely between my legs…with his head…nicely touching the bottom of my scrotum!
Short = Obedience & obedience yields conformity and compliance… .Admirable qualities for sex without retort!
Conscription, in the bedroom is much better than defiance on the street. Comply or die!
You sound like a horrible lay.

You wrote like a misguided missile!
Obviously, you lack both imagination & humor? Anyone who reads my retort will understand its humor.
I wrote it to be facetious…not to be “Politically Correct.”

The most apropos response..?
Rude, Crude, Common & Coarse…with a dash of wicked humor…interspersed with pragmatism!
Hugs & Kisses!
KTBottom,,and yes hieght is a deal breaker for me,,I’m on the very petite side,5’5″,and honestly could not date a guy the same size as myself or shorter,,and yes this is purely preffersnce,I love to beable to look UP into a man’s eyes,be scooped up by a taller man,it’s dominance thing to me.sense 8f safety in a taller man’s embrace.
That feeling of total vulnerability to that taller man..,yes,,very much a deal breaker
“I find short guys irresistibly sex.” I agree wtth this quote. When they are confident about themselves they’re a man through and though. I don’t ‘care if he’s 5 foot or so, just like to see him smile from within
Height makes absolutely no difference, only a petty individual would consider height an issue.
At 6’4″, for me it’s all about the sex. So I look for these physical attributes (in order): age, ethnicity, build, and type/amount of body hair. A distant last is height. I’ve had super-hot times with guys much shorter than me by being able to hold them in my arms as we kiss. But I’ve had equally hot times standing eye to eye with tall guys and lining up a hot kiss. The only possible drawback to someone my height messing with someone a lot shorter is how tough it is to align ourselves if we want to 69. But… Read more »
This is only a dealbreaker for guys that are total assholes. Sadly, there are many in the gay community, and many want to date and fuck their own clones.
In all reality, taller, slim guys and shorter guys both turn me on. I am mostly anal top, used to be mostly anal bottom, and when it came to that, I preferred a top who was around or below my height. If he’s taller, I prefer that he’s an anal bottom.
For oral, getting it from or giving it to someone I think is sexy, height makes no difference. For making out, height makes no difference. But if he’s taller, I prefer for him to be slim like me. Tall bulky guys don’t do it for me.
In general height doesn’t really matter. However, I am generally attracted to guys who are much shorter or much taller. I am 5’10” which is pretty average, I think so maybe it’s just a matter of liking something different from yourself. It is also the reason , I believe, I like uncut guys (I am circumsized) Variety is the spice of life, right?
HIs height to me doesn’t matter. I have dated taller, same height and shorter men. It’s him I like not how tall he is.
Hopelessly Napoleonic ALPHA TOP, prefer short guys because they tend to be the same, aggressive, competitive, edgy, and the Sexual Tension is amazing. Tall guys are just too well adjusted and nice.
Napoleonic “alpha” top? You know Napoleon was 5′ 6″ and had a 2 inch dick, right? Might wanna drop the “Napoleonic” bullshit. It’s not doing you any favors.
Lmao, wow, it’s funny you say that. I was just saying to someone last wk-end, that the vast majority of gay men are too fucked-up; to want someone who’s got their head together, good priorities and such, you prove my point, not always satisfying to be right.
I’m 5’6 barefooted. I regularly play with 5 different gentlemen. They vary from 5’4 to about 6’2. Height is not an issue for me. As long as a guy is nice/ polite, attractive (in my eyes) and has a nice cock and beautiful ass, I’m very happy with him.
Why does this say survey?
I was in the back room of a bar cruising the prospects and this polly pocket sized guy passed by and stretched his arm out to touch me..so I reciprocated and things got all feely and fun then he asked if he could buy me a drink..yeah..that line 😉 so I said sure.. meet you at the bar in 5 minutes as he walked off the guy next to me who was taking in the PG petting leaned over and said “that was very kind of you to give him attention” and I thought what a shitty thing to say..so… Read more »
If he was 5’9″ with those same characteristics, he be considered flamboyant and confident right? And that’d be ok.
And you fit the bill don’t ya

Michael:
If you care to read my contribution, I offered justification for an attraction to little guys!
It’s Alligator Wrestling…it starts out fierce but the little tikes tire out as they are all about fury and turmoil!
Once they exhaust, they roll over just as easily as an eggroll!
LOL…love it..Alligator Wrestling
I’m short…usually the top. I find I am attracted to guys my height or shorter…that attraction is very important in my makeup…
No. Leave it to many gay guys to demand to be
accepted for who they are then feeling entitled to dismiss other gay guys on account of any single physical attribute.
Yeah, just when you think we gay men cannot possibly get any more shallow… What’s next? Hand size as a deal-breaker? Sheesh…
I like all men, but as a somewhat sub bttm, I prefer to be with men that are taller than me. Wrapping my arms over his shoulders and looking up to kiss him is a HUGE turn on for me.
Am 5′ 2″ and yes I believe tall prefer tall. Short prefer taller than themselves. I prefer them taller than myself… 5’7 . Online, you are easily dismissed by taller fellas lol. In person, however where they get a feel of your personality and attitude game changer! Ironically this tends to happen more in the gay community. Straight guys prefer shorter women. At the end of the day unfortunately, it’s all about the looks. If you are tall and not handsome…they will pick the short cute one.

I’m 5’5″, so height has never been an issue with me (other than I always wish I were taller).
Something I’ve always wondered: WHY do people think us short(er) guys are bottoms? I’m 100% total top that hates my butt messed with.
One of My best tops was like 5’5″ or so. I’m amost 6’3″ . He didn’t let it bother him. And I enjoyed every second every time till he deployed
I’m 6’5″+ and don’t think I’ve ever been with anyone taller, or even the same height as I am. But that’s really just situational since there are lots more that are shorter than me than taller. I was a bottom for many years before being a top many years. I don’t think height has ever played a role in my choice of a partner despite being very attracted to men much shorter than myself. (I love being with a guy who I can lift completely into the air while he’s sitting on my cock !) But I’d have no objection… Read more »
YES HONEY. I love them tall and THICK but he has to be a TOP who knows how to work the BOOTY HOLE OVER. I am all into sex and if he is taller than me which most men are then I will get wett down there and let him work my hole the way he wants to. I am only 5’7 which explains the reason why most men can work me out whenever they feel like It. I get SOOOOO WETT, lol
Oh, I don’t know, I’m 6’9 and lean/athletic, so I can’t be choosey which has opened my eyes from the start. Men right around 5’10 give/take 20lbs around 200lbs., husky/stocky, I don’t mind aggressive/cocky. We’re all a little scared of each other when we’re attracted to each other anyway, right? What matters is chemistry, once that’s established, all the pretense goes right outta the window, then we can treat each other like whores who can really take in the bed, lmao!
As a man of 6’1″, I find i enjoy a man who is either 6’4″ or, a man who is 5’6″ more. Since i’m kinda average height. i do love me some petite boys though, i must say.
I’m 5’6, I prefer a Top to not be shorter than me but height does not ever equate to skills, stamina or passion.
height is not an issue with me, have had great sex with guys shorter and a few taller, I’m 6′. Now if the question were about HWP my answer would be completely different, I like a man who is close to what I consider proportionate and I know my answer sounds like I am a total jerk but I am not that picky about HWP but just don’t care for extremely overweight guys
It makes little difference for me. A munchkin top or a basket ball player sized bottom may take some getting used to, but both are doable.
I don’t think height is the probably as important as weight-height proportion on a man which far more people are critical of than just height by itself. I think when it comes to gay men, especially smaller body men, they are far more judgmental if they feel someone is overweight.
I’m successful at growing with ‘every’ experience in life, so I’m not to just swayed by a man’s visual appearance only as that’s just the bait. I teaching myself to experience one’s character/personality, their energy and spirit, almost regardless of packaging. Love can really surprise you, it comes in many shapes, colors, “heights” or lack thereof too.
I’m 5’6″. My mother, who was 4’10” told me, “as long as your feet reach the ground . . . you’re tall enough!” As long as you and your partner see eye-to-eye, height shouldn’t make a difference. My ex was 6’4″ . . . but height was not what lead to our break up.
“Speak out” I hate receiving oral sex!
Why do guys worry about such things..They must be bored at home on a Saturday night, Looser Let’s look at it this way..Tall or short has no barring on what you are thinking, even if the guy is a midget{sorry guys in the Dwarf world} height is only that height.. A tall skinny guy typically has a long cock A Anglo white man is going to have a regular size tool 5-7inches Not all black men have a Horse size dick A shorter man, I swear they all have a thicker and longer cock that come to attention after the… Read more »
