Stung Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I get the 'feeling protected' thing, I mean it's not super-high-priority but it can be kind of sexy IMO...however, for me it never equated solely to height. I mean, one of my best girlfriends is 5'1" but she's like a little berserker warrior chick so you never know, right? I found that protected sensation in other ways, like my former 5'8" guy who was a third-degree black belt, he was hot. I had a little streak of martial artists going for a while. Also people who are very smart...in the admittedly unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse, I will be wielding the sawed-off shotgun in short-term while my H builds us the most ingenious little toys, boobytraps and weapons so we can survive in comfort for decades. Not that I have thought that out or anything.
hopeless4u Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I dated a guy for almost two years who is 5'5" (I'm 5'7") and broke up with him for good in November after a failed reconciliation attempt after our first breakup in September. For about the last two months I've been seeing a guy who's 6'2" and I'm finding it frustrating. I have to stand on my tippy-toes to get kisses, and it's awkward in bed--he's very gangly, long-limbed. And I have a small bed (dorm furniture, I live on-campus). No, we can't go to his place because he still lives at home and his churchgoing mom would never let us share a bed. I've normally been in relationships with guys who are no more than 5'10", and have hooked up with guys 6' and above. There's just something about being at eye-level with someone instead of having them tower over you that I really appreciate, and that doesn't come with dating a 6-footer even at my height--unless I wear heels all the time, and that's not possible, especially in this recent weather. I like this guy and I'm trying to not let his height get to me, but I guess after all the time I spent dating "shorter" guys it'll take a little more time to get used to him. Perhaps I'll start feeling better when spring arrives and I can wear heels again. Anyone else ever feel like they have to adjust to someone's height/lack of it? HaHa this makes me smile:) My x was 6'4" and I'm 5'1" in flat shoes......I loved it:) I loved it when he put his arms around me and his whole body just protected me from the world!

Not that I have thought that out or anything. Sawed off shot gun? Why not just the regular 12 gauge w buckshot or slugs - longer effective range, w slug and you can't be THAT bad of a shot. I learned that from a videogame. Your guy is going to need some kind of weapon to protect himself while he goes out and sets the zombie traps, if he can't shoot he can also pack a shotgun. If he's got training, well something with up to 500 yards effective range will due - personal preference. Got that from playing Ghost Recon on the play station.

PJKino Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Good to see how a women can prefer things about a shorter guy though obviously every response is how Tall Guys are gods gift to to the world and how height protects imaginary monsters from attacking them..

One of my buddies uncles is from the phillipines. He's not the tallest guy out there, but man he knows how to use a billy club. Must be some kind of martial arts training or something? Would that be considered protective? Likewise another friend of mine is quite a tall, big fellow. He's got pin point accuracy with a pistol - but that's not because he is tall, I think.
