i just wanna know if you agree or disagree at this matter...
im 16 and they say that my height is already tall for my age..my height is 5'6...
sometimes other ppl say to me that i will have a hard time finding a partner in life in the future, since im a Filipino and im a girl...usually the height of Filipino ladies ranges in 5 ft to 5'4..and there are many Filipino men too, who were in that range of height...sometimes when i go to school, we have only 8 boy classmates in our class, its like they afraid of me coz they're just under my chin or like that..its like they think im gonna eat them...so what do you think guys??...Have a nice day..:D

My aunt is taller than my uncle over a head, I don't think height matters in a relationship. If people are too navie to think she is tall in height and much more prettier or he is short in height and not macho enough, I think it is only their problems. Every person has their own personalities and their talents, height doesn't mean anything, so I don't think it doesn't cause anything in a relationship.

You are welcome. The boys you met maybe not brave enough, and definitely they are not your mr. right. You know, when you meet a man who really care and love you, you really don't mind the height at all, like my aunt. My uncle is a very good man, he support his family and is very hard-working man, after many years of effort, he becomes a banker now, and now many people disliked the marriage between my aunt and my uncle now refuse to admit that they thought my uncle was not good as he is short in height. That's very strange people would think people short in height is less competitive, I don't agree at all. My hubby is much taller than me and I am about 5'5 as well, but I never require my lover being taller than me when I dated a man.

i dont think height matters in relationship, as long as you have connection and chemistry i think thats a hints that you like each other, and also what matters most is you love each other and that your proud to have each other.
happy posting!!!

hi there. don't be upset. u are not tall at all. my sister is more taller than u. in case of making relationship tall, thin, fat, short are not a matter. faith and love are the main basement for a best relation. don't think that u will not get a life partner. we are made for each other. there are somebody who is already made for us but we are unknown to him/her now. cheers...dear.

Embrace your height! Height is just a number, if somebody won't date you because of your height, it's their loss!

I always thought it was just more normal and acceptable for the male to be taller one. It sort of shows his place as protector of his spouse and family. Having the female be taller can be a little awkward at first, but if there's true love, then there's absolutely no reason to let physical characteristics such as height come between.

HI, I dont think it is matter cuz now day everyone is growing up so much, even big, tall and strong. My ex bf used to be shorter than me. Love is depend on heart and feeling not depend on high. I just read a news said a guy who is very short just like a 3 years old kid but he is 29 years old. He married with a woman who is fully high of 5'6. You see, they dont even care who is short or who is high. dont worry, you will meet someone love you and the way you are.

I dont think height matters in a relationship. If you love someone you will love her/him whatever he/she was. I am 5'2 my husband was 6'6 imagined that? Now we have 1 year old daughter and i noticed that her height was different from other 1 year old kid here in our place. She's really tall with her age. Dont worry you will find the man of your dream... Did you know that before i am dreaming that one day i can be 5'6 tall but unfortunately it never happen.

When I first saw my boyfriend he was very tall for me I never ever expected him to be my partner one day and then gradualy we became good friends and I started to tease him about his height, and now we are lovers and He sometime tease me now saying that i am the one who is shorter. So if there is a wish to continue a beautiful relationship then height does not matter at all, especially not for me.

For me I dont think so , It is not important to me.
As long as I love the person I will not look her
height the vital for me is his inner self not physical
attributes.You are friendly to each other so theres no
harm for it.

Hey you should be happy! Not everyone is as lucky as you are!! :) Your height adds to your personality, its definitely a positive trait that you have. As for finding a partner, for a person of a rare height like yours in your area, there's bound to be someone of a rare height to match yours too. And I personally think that in relationships, physical heights do not matter as much as the heights of love, adjustments and care that you can do for your partner :) Cheers!

For some reasons yeah I guess so. I must say you have great height to be just a 16 year older you know. There are other that I know that they're already 25-35 but then their height is just the same as a highschooler. Good for you to have been blessed by that tall. You can be one hottie model cause of your height. Anyway,so much for that,height matters in the way that people looks at you,that's first. Second is,when your walking with your boyfriend and you're taller than him,you two would look odd and funny to be watched by others together. But why would you waste your time concentrating on your height and what others would look onto it?The important thing that you have to bare in mind is that height doesn't matter in relationship as long as there is love between the two.

i really don't think height is the deciding factor while finding a partner.Men are and always will be insecure about girls who are better than them in any aspect be that a physical aspect like height looks or be it intelligence.So just go out there and have some fun. You will find your match soon so hang on till then.Cheers..

oh that is just silly. I'm 5'7 and 1/2. I have dated guys taller and shorter than me. Height makes no difference at all in anything that matters. Last guy I dated was so short...barely reached my shoulders. His height mattered not. If you limit yourself to guys that compliment your height in pics or because others will think you "look good together" then you are really limiting yourself. don't do it. follow your heart.

I've seen a lot of people who are into relationship.
The girl is taller than the boy. It might be an issue
for a time being because they can be a center of joke
not only by their friends or family, but other people as well.
Anyhow, height is never been a problem the important thing is love
for each other.

Wow am a Filipino too, but you are so pretty as one. Height doesn't matter at all, but there are some who are to cautious to know they're partners heights in the relationship. some get insecured and most aren't. am a girl and i think some guys and even foreigners are also intriguing with a girl no close to their height. have seen it hundred times, so cool.. don't worry about your height or atleast find some who has the same height as yours.

Height does not really matter. What matters the most is your love for each other and your happy together. You should not think of what people around you are telling. It's just their opinion. And since you're only 16 and I assume still in highschool, try not to worry about boys. Worry about what course you'll be taking in college. And try to have good grades, it matter more than worrying about being taller than guys.
There are lot of short guys who are very successful in their chosen careers.
