NightLily Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 So, I have been thinking about height lately. Growing up, I always wanted to be taller. But hey, isn't that what kids want? Now, I'm slightly torn about my height (5'9"). I'm looking for some honesty here. How do you guys feel about taller women? Link to comment
Hopefully Not Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hot, Hot, HOT. I'm 6 ft. My only problem with taller women is if they're insecure about it, or won't wear heels because of it. I like smarter women, women who make more money, prefer A-cups to D-cups ... any stereotypes left? Link to comment
Samedy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well I'm a tall guy, and I like tall women. *not that I don't like tall women* When I took Salsa classes, it was so much easier dancing with the taller women for the spins and all that other stuff. (It's easier if both partners are near the same height). Link to comment
Symbolic Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm tall but a tall girl to me still looks like a normal girl. So you may be 5'9 and tall compared to other girls but I still think you are short. I'm 6'1''. Link to comment

My only problem with taller women is if they're insecure about it, or won't wear heels because of it. I used to wear heels but when dating a shorter boyfriend (than myself).. I almost feel like it wouldn't be the same "sexy" thing to do for your guy as it would be with a taller guy. My foot is F-d up right now anyways though :splat: As for salsa, I like a guy close enough to my height that things can. .. line up. Link to comment

Yeah, if the guy's shorter even without heels I can see it maybe being an issue. Ask him. What heels do for a woman's legs and butt I think is worth admiring no matter her height. It's not just salsa lessons that line up better for me with a taller girl. Best wishes for your foot healing. Link to comment

He doesn't find it to be an issue without heels. Sometimes I do feel like he would be happier with a shorter girl though. Probably me projecting. Link to comment
Huzzah_89 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I love tall women, Im about 6'6 myself so a 6ft women is gold. Link to comment
capbit Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agree, it can be an issue depending on the guy. I personally wouldn't really care. I'm 5' 10" and would be ok with dating someone 6ft. I'm not normally a leg guy, but the legs on some of the taller women win me over. Link to comment
furious Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm average height so most taller girls would be around the same height as me. which is fine because same height relationships are underrated. Long legs are nice too. SuzyQ, if your boyfriend was unhappy with you being taller than him, trust me, he wouldn't be dating you. Some guys go cold turkey when the prospect of dating a girl taller than themselves comes up. I personally would be ok dating a woman couple inches taller, like a tad shy of 6ft. but I admit any more than that would feel awkward. Link to comment

But it is like the difference between good enough and what somebody actually wants. More so though, I do wonder if heels would be a problem. When my foot gets better (if ever.. it have been MONTHS), I like to wear myself some stiletto leather boots.. Link to comment
Lucius Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 So, I have been thinking about height lately. Growing up, I always wanted to be taller. But hey, isn't that what kids want? Now, I'm slightly torn about my height (5'9"). I'm looking for some honesty here. How do you guys feel about taller women? Generally speaking, I prefer my partner to be no taller than myself. It's hardly a rule, nor is it a deal-breaker, but it is a preference. Why? I guess a person could psycho-analyze that preference in any number of ways, but for my part, a woman taller than myself just seems somehow less ... feminine. It's a preference, nothing more, and easily overcome at that - should her other qualities strike a chord with me. Link to comment
Resolute Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ive never personally found height as a problem - at the moment I am 6' 6", and my girlfriend is 5' 5", never been a problem for either of us. I grew up tall so height was never much of a problem in a sense - It doesn't matter to me because in my eyes height is nothing! you can get that idea when you get tall or you can think that height is everything, like a 6' 9" friend of mine, sadly not a quality character Link to comment
cattie1 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ive been a bit like you, on the taller side, and ive found men dont approach me as much as some friends that are of average height... im 5"11 with out shoes....i tend to wear heels, so im 6ft! It sucks but i cant date a man shorter than 6"2. I have and i felt really uncomfortable. Ive dated men who are 6"6 and 6"4. lol but be happy with your height. i have a lot of short friends. One is barely 5ft, and she hates it. Link to comment
Bella20 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well.. I'm 5'11'', my boyfriend is 6'4''... i like it. But sometimes I wish I was 5'9 haha Link to comment
Lucius Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 but be happy with your height. i have a lot of short friends. One is barely 5ft, and she hates it. Haha, my fiancee is only 153cm 'tall'. She loves it though; in her words, the only negative is "reaching things on the top shelf in supermarkets". Cute. Link to comment
FortunateOne Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm 6'1/4" tall (actually 6'1" with shoes) and I love dating tall women. I've dated short wome but I feel like a meercat when we are dancing or walking down a romantic setting with my arm over he shoulder and her arm around my mid to lower back. It just feels weird. I decided many years ago to date women that are 5'6" or 5'7" to 5'11" tall because it's very much a pleasure to show affection, walk and dance with a lady I can see eye to eye. Link to comment
jonny15 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Taller women are seeeeexy. Nice long legs. I have no problem at all with tall women. Link to comment
Samedy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't think any women were self-conscious about being tall. I mean I remember that girl from Saved by the Bell was, but that was just TV. Being tall is a good quality. Link to comment
guitargirl1607308056 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Where are all you guys hiding?! I'm also 5'9" (with a substance abuse problem when it comes to 3 inch heels) and I only get approached by midgets! Link to comment

I mean I remember that girl from Saved by the Bell was, but that was just TV. Being tall is a good quality. Probably because there is often a mentallity that short=cute and feminine. I have been told by some girls I look like an "amazon" like the Williams sisters. .. I'm NOT as large as they are. .. But maybe they are just jealous Link to comment
Timbone Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 nice midget crack, guitargirl. I'm 5'8", so I generally wouldn't approach a girl that tall, especially if she had heels on. But it's not like tall girls date average to shorter guys like myself, so my point here is effectively moot. I had a date with a girl that was 5'7" just the other day. I was a little put off by it. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing that again. Link to comment
