The "height thing" in dating
I'm 5'5, while I have not much height limits in dating (long as it's not too tall or too short), there have been men who get annoyed when me, or other women, wear heels near them because we get slightly taller than them. Current bf is 5'6, thankfully, he's ok with it. You guys/girls? Jun 08 12 06:47 pm Link Noy Liron L wrote: If he wasn't okay with being 5'6"; what would he do about it?

I'm 6'1, my boyfriend is 6'5 (holland has a lot of giants), I wear heels all the time I had shorter boyfriends and they got annoyed as well, but that's really their problem and not mine. can't handle my height, then don't date me. and even though I really don't mind dating shorter guys, I am very happy that my current boyfriend is taller than me... I love being able to feel small next to him (which rarely happens), that I have to lift my face or stand on my toes a bit to kiss him, that I can lie in that cute little hole in his armpit/chest at night, that when he spoons me, his face can rest on my shoulders, that when he hugs me, I feel like I can disappear in his arms, and that I don't have to be the strong, independent one all the time. and heels, of course  oh, and he sometimes lovingly calls me "the little one", or refers to me as the little one to others (last time his mother told him he should shave because his beard was getting kind of long, and he replied with "nono, the little one likes it like this"). I love him even just for that  Jun 08 12 06:51 pm Link haha ask an actually tall girl about her situation anyway other girls notice height discrepancies, the taller girl you are with notices the height discrepancy, and subsequently the guy will notice it too don't know why it original became a point of contention, but its something people will be self-conscious about for you, until you are self conscious about it Jun 08 12 06:51 pm Link Personally, I tend to only date guys taller than me. I'm 5'7, but I really really love my 4 or 5 inch heels. So basically, if the guy isn't 5'10 or taller it's probably not going to work. I donno, I've just always been that way. I like feeling small compared to my guy. All the guys I've had a serious relationship with have been 6'0 or taller with the exception of my first bf who was 5'11.

Never bothered her when we were dating, and apparently still doesn't since we have been married a long time. Doesn't matter to me either. When she puts on heels, the difference is even more apparent, I can look over her shoulder quite nicely. Jun 08 12 06:53 pm Link Anna Adrielle wrote: The Netherlands thing is sooo true. Being 5'10 in there is like being being 5'7 in the US.

Jun 08 12 07:02 pm Link A woman's height shouldn't bother you. Whether she is 5'0" or 6'2" all women are exactly the same height in bed. No seriously a man who cares about your height is really just insecure with his own. Personally I like tall women, that way I am just the right height when I am on my knees  Jun 08 12 07:04 pm Link I have no height limits too. But I wouldn't date a guy whose ass I can kick in a few seconds.

I am tall and come from tall stalk. My late old man wasn't tall though. He was the shortest of the siblings. 5'5" isn't what I'd call tall. More like average.

I'm 5'2, he's 6'4" yet 69 still works out, the human body is amazing, height doesn't matter  Jun 08 12 08:32 pm Link The "height thing" in dating For me is only one, of the many, girls problems ... Jun 08 12 10:49 pm Link This is a first. Usually, from my experience, it's always the woman whose very extreme about height. I hardly ever hear of men rejecting women over their height. Doesn't mean that it never happens though. I'm not a tall guy, I'm only 5'6. I've never had an issue with a tall woman, but I've been rejected my whole life for not being at least 6 ft. or taller.

Jun 09 12 07:15 am Link Never been an issue, and i've dated tall guys and short guys. Jun 09 12 10:01 am Link I'm 5'10. I haven't met many women who are taller than me. For those who are ... it will either work or it will not. Most things about a person's appearance, including height and weight, are a non issue for me. It's more about who they are than what they look like. If I were 5'2 or so, I'd still date a woman who was 6'4 or more if she were interested ... I'd just be really annoyed that I was so much shorter than most other people (not just women). It seems that when I go out now, I'm the shortest guy in the group. I've always thought I wanted to be 6'7, but it did occur to me that people who are that tall wish they were 7 feet ... and those who are 7 feet want to be 7'6 or maybe even 6'6 (it seems like after a while, more height is just an annoyance). So ... I just stick with what I have (not that I have much choice) and cope with "always" being the shortest guy in the group. Jun 09 12 10:54 am Link i wish i had that problem  lol jk.. at least you're not too tall or short.. sometimes I feel obligated to wear heels when I go out, or see my friends wear them bc i'm 5'1.. it's hard either way..Jun 09 12 11:00 am Link I'm Short.. girls don't want to date short guys... When you hear a girl describe who she wants to date you always hear "Tall" in the part of the description... I have never heard a woman say "OMG! I just meat this GORGEOUS man.. HE - IS - SOOO - SHORT!.... I can even put him in my purse and everything!" Jun 09 12 11:04 am Link |
