Cee Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Already done. What, you scheduled a date with her? Woo hoo, I am so excited to hear how this plays out.
ReturnToSender Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Im 5'10", 6'1-6'3" in heels... And yes I do tower over the room wherever I go whether Im in flats or heels, Im used to it and I havnt felt awkward about my height since the age of about 19 I can tell you, feeling less desirable is pretty far from the truth... People are always telling me Im statuesque or asking me if Im a model. Talk about an ego stroke! lol! Really though, Im so used to being taller than everyone that if a guy is shorter than me, it makes no real difference to me. Its not like Im used to being around people my height, so its not a deal-breaker for me. It really is as simple as that... Now I do have to say, the whole Amazon, more thing to love thing...OP I swear it, thats a huge turn off. I mean, I dont take offense cause yeah, I hear that from guys too...but that just makes me feel like a fetish or a novelty, not like an actual person they are interested in. Not good. Ive had guys approach me telling me Im so "tall, strapping and healthy looking" and then look all hurt when I tell them Im a woman, not a horse. Thats *not* a compliment! I promise you! LoL! I can imagine it would be worse if I had more weight on me... I do have an athletic build, and I know Im putting too much weight on when people stop asking me if I model and start asking me if I play basketball. *gag* lol But no matter what, my height is always looked at in envy or awe....have yet to have someone say its undesirable, and not so much a turn off to men as it is intimidating. YOu know what I think....I THINK it's because tall women think THEY are in the minority, esp. the super tall women....maybe it's because they think they are undesirable because I think there's a lot of men out there that are turned off by really tall women.....because it makes THEM feel less manly, so a tall woman would have the same issues in the dating world as a short man? Get what I mean...I guess. Get a load of this pic. LOL Edited November 12, 2010 by ReturnToSender
musemaj11 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I think taller women are actually less likely to care about height. At 5'9" I'd kind of prefer 6'+, but I could also make a whole crazy list of things I prefer that aren't deal breakers at all. A guy being an inch or two than me doesn't even register as a fault. But you do want a taller man. Thats my point.
Green Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I'm very tall and I see short guys do well with women often enough that I KNOW IT CAN BE OVERCOME. Just don't be insecure about the height or bring it up. If some one does bring it up dismiss it with a light hearted "so what"

ReturnToSender Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 But you do want a taller man. Thats my point. Yeah she said thats her personal preference, but also said its not a deal breaker. And I clearly said height doesnt matter to me. So Im not sure how your point has been proven...? You already said you have no interest in being with a tall woman, so any point youre trying to make about who we date is moot anyway eh? Theres nothing universal about personal preferences and boundaries.
callingyouuu Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 It can be overcome? lol you make it seem like being short is like having a disaease Search the LS forums for "height" from a few months back and you'll understand. Good for you, OP!
