How important is height to you?

You must be a top or a bossy bottom.

I’m 5’7”. I like dudes my height or shorter. I tend to be attracted to built mesomorphic dudes, which are more plentiful among short guys.

Personally, I prefer very tall guys - 6'2"-6'5".

I just like the aesthetic proportions on taller guys.

Not very important. I’ve dated guys taller and shorter than I am.

The thing I don't like about guys 6 feet and taller is that they generally have lanky bodies, ugly legs, weird proportions. If they are overweight, it's a real disaster compared to shorter guys.

I love short guys 5’5 to 5’7 and average to stocky body types. Not into far or fem/skinny short guys .- or small Asian guys.

Same here, OP. I'm 5'11" and only like guys my height or shorter (usually between 5'6 and 5'10). Maybe it's because I'm a top but taller guys just don't do it for me.

R1 Vers top but I've had good sex/relationships without anal

R2 That's def my type

*--OP

R2 You are a monster!

I like pocket gays

5’8” and shorter. As my friend says, I don’t want to be with a dude and have people assume I’m the bottom.

I'm 6'1", and while height would never be a deal-breaker, my ideal guy would be somewhere between 5'2" and 5'4". I'm not exactly sure why, but its always been that way.

NYC tends to be overrun with short guys, some of them powerfully built, some of them wispy and slim.

Neither of them is my type, unfortunately: gimme a man over 6 feet, please. As long as he's in reasonable shape, he doesn't have to have an action-figure kind of body.

A personal bias: I find many short men fundamentally insecure and a little petty, a little mean-spirited. Just saying. (I don't particularly like short women, either.)

I am 6.5, a virgin and possibly a bottom! Do tops like tall guys? Are tall guys automatically assumed to be tops?

R7 Pretty similar. I either don't really notice them, or else I feel uncomfortable when I'm the short one. The other guy could be totally submissive, I would still feel that way.

I’m 6’3” - so most guys are shorter. I do appreciate their better defined proportions - much better bottoms. But my LT partner is 6’2” - definitely a subtle dynamic of equal power. I did get tired of guys fetishizing my height.

Around my height or a couple inches taller or shorter is fine. Giant tall people seem to get on my nerves.

R17 Why are tall people not well-proportioned :-(

How important is height? Not very. However, I like men.

I like 6 feet and taller. I actually love 6 foot two.

you have issues, OP, and you should probably be single

[quote] Are tall guys automatically assumed to be tops?

For most gay men, size equates to masculinity or virility, especially if a man is very tall or is very thick bodied/muscular, so yes, they are often perceived to be a top.

I am shorter and more beefy, but was often assumed to be a top as well. I tried for years to meet guys on various social media/apps and was very honest about my likes (that I was a bottom) on those profiles, as well as very truthful photos....and no matter what, guys either expected me to be a top and were disappointed, or would meet and say "Oh, but you looked so much more butch in your photos" - not that I'm femme, but I'm sort of a quiet mellow nerd, and they expected Raging Leather Fisting Daddy Top or something, who knows.

OP sounds like a gurly gurl.

I bet he uses a southern accent when he flirts.

I wonder how much overlap there is between threads like this and the “Why Am I Still Single?” threads.

[quote]Do I? Oh wow. I'm considered straight acting. I'll never be flirting with you so you got nothing to worry about.

* for R24

I'm 173 cm (5'8 in American) and marginally prefer taller guys, especially if they are thin. Really tall guys are a turn on, if they are at least vaguely attractive.

But it really isnt a big deal as long as they arent too short, like less than 5 foot. As long as they are thin and preferably a bit fem, Asians definitely a plus too. If they are pretty I really dont care about height, this and wispy is just my type. Dainty little queens are hot as fuck for me.

Big, stocky hairy masculine guys or any height do nothing for me at all. I have a friend who is a 6'2 250 pound mountain of muscle, lovely man and a good friend, but just not my type

I'm 5'11", and like guys all over the height map. If they're tall I want them beefy, not lanky. And short and overweight don't go well together.

R28 I'd LOVE to meat your friend!

I don't mind short or tall. I'm more or less average at 180cm/5'11" and tend not to take much notice of height unless someone is substantially taller or shorter.

My two height prejudices are that very short men often age poorly, and that I hate tall men who start every sentence with their height, as in "Well I'm 6'7" and weigh XX and have a size 14 shoe and turn into a whiney little bitch every time I fly in coach class..."
