ella23 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Oh, yeah, the legs that go on forever. I'm gonna brag a little and tell you that more than one man has told me: "I wasn't a leg guy till I met you." And this beautiful short woman I know once said, "Can I trade legs with you just for one freaking day?!" Yes, I'd like to be taller and have longer legs! OP, I'm only 5'5" and I'd love to be your height.
sagetalk Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Im 6' and I wouldnt want to date a girl taller than me, that's it though, otherwise I don't care. same here, 5'9 is fine for most guys that are tall.
Stockalone Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 What are your thoughts on dating girls who are tall? I'm 5'9". I like tall girls.
bananaboat11 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I'm 6'1".. I've dated a girl who was 5'... I've dated a girl who was 5'11" (OMG... long legs!!! yummy) I love tall girls. If she was ok with being an inch or so taller than me... I'd be fine with dating a girl 6'2" or 6'3" I'm comfortable with myself enough
Mr White Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I prefer petite girls, but height is certainly not a dealbreaker is everything else is in order.
Johnny M Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 What are your thoughts on dating girls who are tall? I'm 5'9". I know it's not very tall but I've always been self conscious about it. No matter how thin or in shape I am, I feel bigger. I know it's stupid and hopefully I will grow out of it but I find myself envious of petite girls. When it comes to women, height tends to accentuate their natural looks. So if you're good looking and in good shape and tall, you would look stunning. On the other hand, of you're plain looking and/or obese, height would only magnify your unattractiveness.
Johnny M Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 It's just one of those things I'm self conscious about I guess. I keep dating guys who have previously dated smaller chicks. I don't know if it's a fluke or what. No, it's not a fluke. You're considerably taller than the average female, so it's natural that most men have not dated someone as tall as you.
citygal1 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I'm 5' 9". I'm sure there are some men that wouldn't date me due to height. But I think the majority of men either don't care about height that much or in some cases they actually prefer taller women.
Disillusioned Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 6'6 really? Shopping must be fun. Don't you worry there are plenty of tall girls out there who would love to spot you on their horizon. Its probably taking alot longer than you had hoped and you maybe keep thinking about the love you lost but you shouldn't think your whole life will be like that! Fun, shmun! When I go out anywhere, I always get the cross-eyed stare. I've actually seen a few people bump into things because they were staring at me instead of watching where they were going. Honestly, though, once I got involved with the singles groups I found on meetup.com, I stopped worrying whether any of those women in public thought I was cute...
cognac Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Read my post in the ISO forum: "Being tall ain't so great". I'm a man who's 6'6", so I think I have a pretty good idea what I'm talking about. BTW child-sized women never interested me much... sounds like some kinda fetish... I'm almost positive the majority of women would rather date a guy at 6'6 than a guy at 5'6. To the OP, I am 5'7 so you most likely don't give a crap if guys are attracted to you or not, but here it is anyway. Men don't care about height, they don't see tall girls like women see shortish guys, as ugly, weird, defying their gender because of their height. I have found quite a few girls taller than me to be extremely attractive, girls I've liked were everything from 4'11 to 5'11. If you are open to dating guys at your height or only a little shorter (most likely not) or guys just a little bit taller, make sure to give these guys a lot of signals to approach you. The reason you may not be getting hit on as much as you want is because most guys assume from past experiences with women that if you are only a little bit taller than them, the same height, or especially if you are shorter, there is very little chance of making them attracted to you.
Patient Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I am a tall girl..Im 5'11..I've never had any guys have a problem with my height..even though the short ones are always the ones trying to date me.lol..but I say you are just running into the wrong ones..I am tall and I embrace my tallness..many people wish they were tall, be grateful you got something somebody else wants..I say if they can't accept your height ditch them..most guys dont care as long as your not completely taller than them..my current guy is 6'5 and he's never complained..get the right ones sweety...
cognac Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Don't know why, but girls tall and short both are equally accepted and loved in society. There is a lot more balance and the odds aren't completely in one direction or the other. Tall girls= elegant, mature, just beautiful. Short girls= cute, sweet, just gorgeous. Tall guys= Heroic, supermen, unbeatable in a fight, "HOT" and "mr right" regardless of everything else in his physical or emotional profile. Guys under 5'8= Don't exist in a woman's eyes. If a woman does ever date a guy under 5'8 she feels like she's doing him a favor for forcing herself to overlook such a hideous and horrible trait. As soon as a tall guy comes into the picture shorty's kicked to the curb.
monkey00 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 You're gifted to have your height. There are a lot of short girls 5'~ who would do anything to have your height. I find the shorter the girl, the more insecurities she has. I'm 5'10" and currently I'm going out with someone who's 5'11" and she's crazy about me. For the record I've always loved tall women. She's the first person I've dated who's actually around my height. So for the guys who aren't willing to go out with you because height is the factor, I wouldn't bother with them. They're just a bunch of insecure schmoes.
SincereOnlineGuy Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 What are your thoughts on dating girls who are tall? I'm 5'9". I know it's not very tall but I've always been self conscious about it. No matter how thin or in shape I am, I feel bigger. I know it's stupid and hopefully I will grow out of it but I find myself envious of petite girls. Oh god... I could sit here and type for hours, trying to express my true, actual feelings on the matter... but you wouldn't GET it... because your mind probably just won't let you sense anybody feeling/responding this way. (so let me save hours of typing and summarize with this: ) There is no other trait which simply WOW's me about a woman as much as considerable height! The exhilarating part of it is being more "with" someone than I would otherwise seem/feel/be.
carhill Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I know it's not very tall but I've always been self conscious about it. IMO, if you developed early, and were much taller than your peers during your adolescent years, those experiences of being 'different' have formed a particular self-image in your psyche which apparently is causing you distress. Because the 'differences' are still very visible as an adult, you're replaying the child tape and it is affecting your life and relationships today. One potential. I'll bet you have no shortage of male attention, but, still, something isn't right. There's a part of you which thinks that you're unworthy, even if, overall, you appear as a well-balanced person. As you suggested, you will probably 'grow out of it'. The more you develop your inner self, the more accepting you will be of how it is presented to the world, in this case as a tall-bodied woman.
Satisfaction Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Fun, shmun! When I go out anywhere, I always get the cross-eyed stare. I've actually seen a few people bump into things because they were staring at me instead of watching where they were going. Honestly, though, once I got involved with the singles groups I found on meetup.com, I stopped worrying whether any of those women in public thought I was cute... Actully bumping into things eh? That's hilarious, celebrities have to pay so much to get that attention but all you need to do is leave the house. hahahahah I've check out meetup.com was worried it would just be american stuff only but they have uk things too gonna try that out
Stockalone Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Tall guys= Heroic, supermen, unbeatable in a fight, "HOT" and "mr right" regardless of everything else in his physical or emotional profile. That's not true at all.
OndaChin Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hardly any guys care about how tall or short a girl is as long as you're attractive. Just think about it this way: you're 5 inches above average height. If a male was the equivelant to you, 5 inches below average height, he'd be 5'4 or 5'5. He would have it 10x more difficult than you to get laid or get a girlfriend. In fact, unless he has some amazing charisma or skills, he's damned to be a virgin for the rest of his life. I always laugh whenever I heard tall girls crying about being so tall when short guys have it 10x worse. Message Approved by: Nutz Ondachin. (Nicely put and very accurate, brother!)
Jersey Shortie Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Ppge4, we always want what we don't have. It's easy to see the pyschology in the "if only" type of thinking about what we preceive is more attractive. We can't preceive the draw backs of something we don't have. It's less exciting to have a certain trait for the simple fact that we do have it. My brother dated a beautiful girl with big blue eyes and she would actually want to wear brown contacts because she thought brown eyes were more attractive. My cousin has gorgeous curly brown hair with these blond highlights. Completely natural. She wishes she had straight hair. I've heard so many girls eiher complain about having boobs that were too big and others complaining about having boobs too small. I think women always manage to find something about themselves to not like. It's really easy to especially in the type of culture we live in. Now, everyone here can tell you being taller is better or being shorter is better but that's not going to matter much either way. What is going to matter most is how you carry yourself. How comfortable you are with your own body. If you really dislike the way you feel with certain guys, then don't be with those guys. There are lots of sexy 5'11+ guys that you could still feel smaller with if you like the feeling of the guy being bigger. And that's totally okay if you want to be with someone that makes you feel smaller then him.
Ruby Slippers Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 There is no other trait which simply WOW's me about a woman as much as considerable height! The exhilarating part of it is being more "with" someone than I would otherwise seem/feel/be. How you doin'?
