Ruby Slippers Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Would you be happy being with a woman taller than you? I just got on online dating, and am corresponding with this guy who seems really cool and who has a lot in common with me - he even runs his own biz, like me - but is 3 inches shorter. (I'm pretty tall.) I've had such a hard time finding a suitable partner that at this point I don't really care if he's shorter. As long as he's confident in who he is and cool with being with a taller woman, it's not a problem for me. Obviously it's not a big problem for him or he wouldn't have messaged me - just wondering what the shorter guys think about this. 1
Imajerk17 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I'm 5'8" and I wrote a girl who is 5'10". So no problems for myself!

I thought guys come up to you daily and tell you how beautiful you are. I guess those are the creepy ones. Any more than 2 inches, and it would be in the back of my head, but if she were real cool and we got along real well, then I'd probably just go for it. I just went for a woman that was 2 inches taller than me because I felt a lot for her. She rejected me though. I can't really say height was the dealbreaker for sure. Really, the difference was more like an inch. 1
Cracker Jack Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Absolutely. I'm 5'8" and had interest in a woman who was 5'11" or somewhere around that at one point. I didn't pursue her back then because I was lacking in many areas, but I never thought the height difference was a big enough deal to not consider it. So yes, I'd be fine dating a woman taller than me.
somedude81 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Only up to a certain point. I'm 5'6 and if the girl is 5'9 or taller things start to get really weird. If I met the perfect woman who had all my ideal qualifications, wanted me but was 5'10, I'd go for her but have some serious reservations. I'd most likely be worried about her cheating on me and I would feel small in her company and I'd always be thinking that people were judging us. Hmm, so I probably wouldn't go through with it.
Author Ruby Slippers Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 I thought guys come up to you daily and tell you how beautiful you are. It's true. But they rarely take it any further. This usually happens when I'm walking down the road, running errands, on the go - not sitting down somewhere. And I'm not to the point where I'm flirting back all that much, beyond a smile and a thank you. I'm shy, but working on it. Also, what does it mean when a guy rates you 5 stars but doesn't message you? Is he expecting me to message him? I NEVER initiate. I'm old-fashioned. And I think if he liked me enough, he'd message me. Right?
OhHey Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 5'8" here and a woman being taller than me is a deal breaker. Even same height is pushing it. I love petite woman who are cute... I'd also wanna pick them up and all that too.

Hmm, so I probably wouldn't go through with it. I'm 5'10 and this guy is 5'7. The shortest I've ever dated before was 5'9, but this guy looks pretty stout/fit, so that helps. I have never cheated and never will, and height has nothing to do with it. I dated a guy last year who was 5'9, but he walked around like he was 7 feet tall, so I never even thought about it. 2
veggirl Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 My old roommie was 5'11 and regularly had guys shorter than her chasing her. She was very pretty, she didn't care and neither did they. She didn't wear heels at all, but was still regularly 3in taller than the men she dated. Actually I never even saw her with a guy her height, def not taller.

Yea, I've been the same usually through my life. I'm about 5'5". 4 inches would be a lot. There's was a female who was 5'8" that I used hang out with a lot freshman year in college and people always used to say we should hook up (mostly in seriousness). I think if she were shorter I definitely would have gone for it. I was also around 2 inches shorter back then (if you can believe that). Now that I'm much older. If I met a woman 4-5 inches taller, I'd at least go for it and see what happens.

That's not too bad at all. The taller the woman is, the less weird it is. Like if a guy 5'10" were dating a woman 6'1" people wouldn't call them a weird couple. They'd just say she's tall. That is if you care what society thinks anyway...
Professor X Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 RS, if he knows about the height difference himself and he still shows interest than as long as you won't make a big deal out of it, he won't either.
ThaWholigan Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I wanted to date a girl who was 6 foot 5 and I didn't care . 2
jobaba Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I also find it funny that there was a thread on here not too long ago about a woman asking about if she should dump a man who was the same height (5'7") even though he had a good overall package. Except she was like 5'3" or something. Kudos to you RubySlippers. 1
OhHey Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 The new dating. It's height but not morals. Americans have trashed religion and relaced it with a feel good sociaety that promotes promiscuisty, homosexual behavior, abortion, going to occupy wall street protests instead of looking for a job. You say you're from Texas there.... Umm if this is what you think of the American way....get the eff out of here.... Oh and learn to spell if you're going to be in America and please do not take a telemarketing job....thxx.

Except she was like 5'3" or something. That's ridiculous! Kudos to you RubySlippers. Thanks. I admit that the guy being taller than me is one of my strongest preferences for the physical. Beyond that, I've always been open to a wide range of physical types. But now I'm thinking it's just stupid to rule out a whole bunch of great guys just because they're a little shorter than me. I realize that I used to care mostly because I was worried about what other people thought, because I wasn't secure in myself. Now I realize that most people DON'T think, so I don't give a damn anymore.
KR10N Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 You get out. America is failing because of a lack of morals. Should I date someone of a certain height? America has been infested by morally bankrupt people such as abortionists and fags and occupy wall street cretins who won't work. The good Christian man who values no sex before marriage, morality, hard work, traditional values is condered a joke my the elites. It's now how tall are you and how big are certain body parts. It's disgusting.WTF is this s***?!?!

PlumPrincess Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I love it when women are actually realize what they were doing and changed it. I suggest you include girls with an A cup in your circle of potential girlfriends. 1
PlumPrincess Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Americans put superficial criteria first instead of last. Every man wants hot and pretty but conservative Christian with traditional values comes first. So, a Christian woman you don't find attractive but has compatible values is ok with you?
KR10N Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Americans put superficial criteria first instead of last. Every man wants hot and pretty but conservative Christian with traditional values comes first.You said yourself, in another thread, that you wanted a hot girlfriend. How are you any different?
OhHey Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 You said yourself, in another thread, that you wanted a hot girlfriend. How are you any different? It's a butthurt troll....I did reply to him(my bad) but I reported him.... Just another bible pusher. 1
KR10N Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 The thread asked for ideal mate. Any man wants hot, but hot shouldn't come first. Conservative Christian comes first.There used to be this LS member, DreamerGirl, I think. She was a 'Conservative Christian' who felt that she deserved a hot guy despite her painful personality. You two would have been perfect for each other.
