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?

you're 5'5 and men get annoyed when you wear heels?
lol...
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
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
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.
My wife is 3" taller than I am without shoes. 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.

The Netherlands thing is sooo true. Being 5'10 in there is like being being 5'7 in the US.
yup :p
the average dutch guy is 6'1, but that's REALLY average... my boyfriend is actually 6'4 and a half, and he's annoyed that he isn't 6'5. sometimes, he's the shortest in his group of friends.

Pretty much all of this I feel the exact same way.

He's 6'4 1/2" and he's still complaining? The hell?
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

No offence
yeah well, he was 6'2 by the time he was 12 (no joke...), and doctors had told him he would be 6'7 in the end, so for him it's a bummer that he stopped at 6'4 1/2 :p. plus that in his environment, it's not even *that*tall. he never gets comments like "wow you're tall" or anything like that, he's just pretty normal.

Some people should just realize that human attributes over time cannot be perfectly calculated.

Here in the Bay area the men and women are taller than the average compared to the rest of the States, minus the southern States, Alabama etc. People here are tall and lean. 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.
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.

the 2 shortest guys I dated were both barely 5'7.
One was superstrong and confident, and could easily pick me up and push me against the wall. he didn't mind that I was taller because he was still confidetnt enough to feel like the man in the relationship. it was supersexy.
the second one however made me walk on the street while he walked on the sidewalk, so we would appear the same height, would always stand one step above me on an escalator and once we took a trip to the canary islands together and when some random dude yelled from across the street "she's too tall for you" he spend the whole day in the hotel room crying. not sexy. he eventually cheated on me with a girl that was 5'2 (and superpetite, and blonde, and bigboobed, and quite frankly pretty stupid). should have seen that one coming

Women aren't really hung up on height where I come from....
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.
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..
