Okay, okay but back to the topic of picking up taller girls

besides simple lines like "Hello, my name is .... , nice to meet you?"

and cheesy line "going up to a girl once and said Hi with a kid smile.... I stopped half way and looked to the ground and telling her with a embrassing expression on my face

"I forgot my pick up line."

She laughed at it kindly and smiled back... and we started talking....end up going out for a while too"

Are there any other lines how to pick up girls?

Eg situation is - You see a girl at the MRT station for 1st time and you want to get her number, how would you do it?

2nd situation - You see a girl a few times at the movie theatre and she has seen you before, how would you get her number?

Especially when you like below 1.6m and she is like above 1.6m tall...

I rarely, if ever, see a couple where the guy is shorter.

I see women taller than the man in many couples.
I am 6'. All the men I dated were shorter than me with the exception of one man. He was 6'11" That was just too tall for me, It hurt my neck to look up at him. My husband is an inch shorter than me.
When I was in High School , the guys were hesitant to approach me, but as an adult there was never a problem. I think the young guys were insecure about my height VS theirs, once they realized the height did not matter, it was not a problem. I always wore low heels until my husband convinced me he liked me in heels.


Just like any other thing you do, if you don't try, you'll never know.

Don't worry about the height. If you see someone you would like to go out with, just treat them just like you would any other girl you like. Your personality will be much more important than your height.

Thanks, kaiselin, how you would reccomend me to get to start a conversation with a girl, from a girl's point of view?

I'm curious though. Why is dating a tall girl any different? Aside from perhaps your preference and her physical size?

Well, Zongbao, you see, I am short and girls that I see on the streets are taller than me. That's why.

best advice would always be for you to make your own mistakes. Get rejected a couple of dozen times and you will start getting how your should go about the whole matter.

If you are not afraid to get rejected and humiliated in the process, you shouldn't even think about dating anyone.

You're a guy, act like one.

I'm pretty tall for a girl (5'8 or roughly 172-173cm) and I've noticed that many asian guys don't go for me because my height is intimidating =S

Most of the attention I receive are from white dudes... =/

Are you more interested in Asian guys? Joking, but I doubt it's because they think your height is intimidating. It's more that they see you probably won't like them because they are shorter. Seriously, sexual preferences aside, people should just all mix.

Really? Because I'm average height for a northern European male (5'11) and the N.Chinese and Koreans I see around are as tall as and taller than me.

Personally, I think it's just preferences. All the white girls I see with Asian guys are petite types, regardless of how big the guy is.

Maybe it depends on locations =P

Most asians are pretty short from where I come from.

I don't have a specific preference lol.

But at prom I was significantly taller than my date. With heels on I was around 5'11 and he was only 5'9.

Hi Parachutes, so how would you reccomend shorter guys like me (I am below 155cm) to start a conversation with a girl who is 160cm and above?

Also, if I am interested in a girl who is in my circle of friends, how would I make her interested in me?

[Parachutes]

Well first and foremost I think you need to be confident and friendly around the girl you like =)

Make sure you pay attention to her and listen and respond carefully to her whenever you have a conversation.

As to how to start a conversation, there are so many ways =) You can simply say 'hi' or comment on the weather haha XD

Personally, I know a lot of short guys who are attractive because of their charisma and wit =)

Would tall girls like 170cm dislike guys who are short like 150cm? I spoke to my cousin couple of days before and she said girls normally would mind guys who are short. I mean, not that I feel that inferior, I am just asking that's all.
Hope everyone would give some comments...


Well thanks, Parachutes, I would keep your advice in mind.

Well I can't really speak on behalf of all girls who are 170cm or above but personally I wouldn't really mind.

I once dated a guy who was 159cm and he was very sweet and charming and all.
