Tiberius Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 This is a question for tall women, who are like 6 and above. Do you prefer a man at least as tall as you, or are you fine with guys who are a little shorter as well, because 5 8 is still normal for a guy?
irc333 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 This is a question for tall women, who are like 6 and above. Do you prefer a man at least as tall as you, or are you fine with guys who are a little shorter as well, because 5 8 is still normal for a guy? i often wondered this myself, there's this ...no joking ...6'3" woman on a dating site, I was wondering if this would have an opposite effect, and they would HAVE to date a guy shorter than them, because there are no men taller than 6'3"....can you imagine how tall she would be in heels? lol
CrestfallenNoMore Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I'm just under 6' and yes, I do prefer a guy who is at least as tall as I am. I honestly prefer about 6'5" or so, so that when I wear heels, he's still taller than I am. But as long as they're 5'10" or so, I'm good. I have tried dating shorter guys. I went out on a date with a man who was 5'5". We stood in front of the mirror, back to back, and I just couldn't imagine getting naked with someone I'd have to carry over the threshhold.
threebyfate Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 One of my oldest and dearest friends is almost 5'9". The shortest man she ever got involved with is 5'11". He's also her husband of many years.
Stung Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I am six feet even in my socks. My husband happens to be a couple inches taller than me, but I have had shorter boyfriends in the past. Once I was madly in love with a guy who was 5'9" and skinny and had beautiful inky black eyes. If I recall correctly, my boyfriends have ranged from 5'7" to 6'9". Shorter than 5'8" or so I do start to lost interest, men or women. I dated a woman who was only about 5'3" once and I felt like her mom or scout leader or something, it was a big turn off in bed, which surprised me a bit because half my female friends are only five feet tall and I don't even notice it in a non-sexual context--except when they're asking me to reach stuff for them.
Knittress Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I can't believe I'm too short for this thread! Most ubertall women I've known went for taller, a few didn't care. One of them was a successful model and she was dating some dude who was 5'6"!
lizzy22w Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I have never dated a guy that was shorter, but I would not care. The only problem I would have is if he had an insecurity about it, because I like to wear heels. Other than that...no problem at all.
colliejoanie Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm going to weigh in, although I'm a mere 5'11". I definitely look for a man who's at least my height. I like being tall, but I really want to feel like a guy could "protect" me. Old fashioned, I guess. That being said, I was engaged to a wonderful man who was only 5'10". I fell in love with him instantly because he made me laugh and feel like I was the only woman on the planet. Online dating makes it too easy to be picky. My ex-fiancee and I met the old fashioned way.
Author Tiberius Posted October 9, 2010 Author Posted October 9, 2010 Thx I was just curious dating somone way taller.
mortensorchid Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm 5'10", bigger than most guys out there. I've been with guys shorter than me by just a bit to a lot shorter than me, and been with guys who were taller than me. Truth be told, I am not crazy about the idea of being with someone shorter than me, but it does not limit me in decision making as to who I am/am not with. I think it bothers the guys quite honestly who are shorter than me. It does not stop them from approaching me, but in the long run it bothers them. It's strange to say, and rather odd, but you will not understand it unless you happen to be a tall woman.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm 6'-2" and a smidge. I can't imagine getting with a girl my height or taller. I did go to school with a beauty who was about my height. But she really had a complex about her height and developed a nasty defense mechanism that often went into effect on the flimsiest of grounds. My range is 5'-0 thru 5-11". 5'-7 thru 5'-9" being money.
Dazzel Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I am 5 ft. 8 in tall and a female. I PREFER men taller than me. I feel really unfeminine being so tall and not to mention the fact I weigh has much as a damn draft horse. HOWEVER....I have met guys as tall as me or slightly shorter I have liked. My first boyfriend was shorter than me and I liked him so much I didn't care. It seems that it's a nonspoken rule that the guy must be taller than the girl. Not true. But honestly, I DO want someone taller than me simply because I have been told I am very tall and I am a big woman. Being with someone taller than me makes me feel as though it is minimizing my size even slightly. But I met someone I thought was attractive and they were a bit shorter than me? Well, it's not THAT important. I'd sure give them a go.
