i usually look for taller girls seeing as it would be quite the awkward for me to date a short girl, but if the right short girl comes along, nothing wrong with that :D

Nah, not really. According to posters in Big W, 157cm = short, 165cm = average and 172.5cm=tall. That 's for girls.

And for guys, 165cm=short, 175cm=average and 183cm=tall.
shit then im way above average :(

yeah, coming from a fairly short guy, height seems to matter...but I think it's a way of filtering out all the shallow ditz's at least (although they might take pity), because only the mature type dont care....lol i make it sound like a crippling disease.

Asian guys tend to be shorter than me and my parents expect me to date Asian guys. I am not tall, just 168cm. Most of the Asian guys I know and see are shorter than me. I know there are some that are tall.
I see that alot, but me being an asian guy, I'm 177cm I think I might've grown a bit in the last few months. But basically all my cousins, we at least 175, the tallest one being 181cm. Something must be wrong with us!

Probably you're a giant asian? Wait nope the Chinese basketball player is Yao mei?? (I Dont know how to spell his name). I'm 171 and would prefer girls who are shorter...Jeez why do girls play sport and get so tall so nobody can like them? Ah all the basketball players might get the benefit! Short girls 165-168cm are cute don't you think? :) :) :) :)

YAO MING!!!! He single handedly handed Australia their loss against China the other day. I doubt playing sport really makes people get them tall, maybe a few centimetres because they are healthy, it's mostly genetics. Yao Ming is is 229cm's btw.

Anyway, like I've already said in the other thread, it doesnt matter to me too much, but only to a certain extent. I think it could become awkward if the difference was too great.

ur parents *expect* u to date asian guys?
are u an abc or from hk/china...?


btw. i'm an asian guy....short-average: ~170cm. one of my asian friends is probably around 175ish. most are around 170-172ish. just for people's opinions...am i short for an asian guy? - i know i'm a midget compared with aussies (average 180), but i dunno if i'm actually a "short asian", coz that'd be kinda bad.
abc. I don't have to marry an Asian but they would prefer me to.
