How to Ask a Guy How Tall He Is

Since I am 4’11” it is easy for me to ask a guy how tall he is. Even a guy who is considered short is taller than me, so guys never get offended. My taller friends don’t find the same ease.

After consulting with medium height girls, tall girls, and shorter guys, I put together this article definitively answering the age old question, “how to ask someone their height?”

The best way to ask a guy his height is to just come out with it. “I hope you don’t mind me asking, can you please tell me how tall you are?”

Make sure your tone is light-hearted and respectful. Be polite, gentle, casual, and considerate when asking. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Ask it in a curious and honest way.

If you are asking a guy about his height over text, you might want to soften it. Tone is lost in text, and you don’t want a guy to think you are being rude.

“Hey, I hope you don’t mind me asking, and please know I am not trying to be rude or offensive at all, can you please tell me how tall you are?”

Asking a guy how tall he is should not be seen as a bad thing. It is a fair question to ask and there is an answer. You would not feel bad asking him where he grew up or if he has siblings.

The most important thing is to be respectful, casual, and not make a big deal out of it. Be honest and curious, as if you were asking them their favorite color.
