Posted: 9/28/2009 5:56:47 PM | OP - I'm 6' and I have been with men several inches taller and several inches shorter than me. I never thought a man shorter than me would be interested until several years ago, and I learned my nana was correct - she used to tell me when I was a gangly 17 yr old and 5'11" that "We're all the same height when we get into bed at night". She was 2-3 inches taller than my grandpa and they had three kids.
Some of the best lovers I've known have been shorter than me. I, too, love to be 'manhandled' to an extent and some of the shorter ones didn't have a problem with my height or me possibly weighing a bit more than them. When you are on your back, held in a man's arms and his face is above you, he can be 6' 6" or 4' 6" for all I care. Its the attitude and confidence that counts.
I would suggest if a man is uncomfortable being shorter or smaller than you, if will not work. But that's ok. We can't be everything to every person we date. I was once with a man shorter than me who thought I was too tall for a certain position, I looked back at him shook my head, put on my clothes and left. He wasn't too happy but I told him "Best of luck finding a woman shorter than you who is as good as me in bed."
He still calls me from time to time. | |

You are in a unique demographic among tall women, though. I will say that I did a little analysis on match some time ago out of curiosity, given thread topics like this, and women who are tall (5'9"+) don't mind men their height, compared to girls who are average or below average height.
So it wouldn't shock me that a TALL woman wouldn't mind a guy a couple inches shorter...
But what I learned was that it's not so much the height of a guy compared to them -- it's the height of a guy compared to other guys.
But yes, there are some women (possibly yourself), who don't mind the height of a guy at all, and I would say that's in a small minority. It's crazy to think that a guy would say "you're too tall to do doggy style" (assuming that was the position)... omg -- how could you not give it your all to try?? lol | |

Posted: 9/29/2009 2:58:28 AM | Interesting the variety of perspectives...
But for those of you who don't have experience in this issue, it might be hard to imagine. Don't forget, taller means bigger hands, longer arms, wider thighs, etc. etc. I think it's a lot of these things that make some women feel less feminine around shorter guys, as much or more as it is height per se | |

Sorry BUT...a woman should feel feminine around a man because 1) she IS already and 2) his actions, NOT his body, makes her want to be.
I used to work in a mall and would, when the store was slow, people watch. I was always surprised and gladdened to see a tall woman with a shorter man. Or an average height woman with heels on and her guy walking happily beside her, usually grinning like a fool. Surprised because some men's egos wouldn't allow that. Gladdened because the women saw PAST THE GUY'S HEIGHT and saw what a great guy he was. Every man I've dated that's my height or a few inches taller? They know upfront that I'm prone to wear heels and that if it's an issue, they need to move on. So far not a single guy has complained. And some of those heels are 4"...which would put me almost a full head taller than some men. You know what they see? Me. Not the height.
I'm not saying you're not right sweetie. But what I'm saying is, like I first said, if you're not comfortable with his height at some point it'll win out over whatever else it is you like about him. And if he can't get over your height, then it'll be the same for him too.
I sure hope that you decide to get to know this guy and ignore his height. Apparently you all see something in each other that is attractive. Don't let a few inches and how society USED to be deter you from enjoying each other's company. | |

I have often heard it said that men prefer shorter women to women that are close to their height.
Generally, a man would prefer a woman who, when he is holding her close, her head would rest on his chest/shoulder rather than the other way around. | |

Posted: 9/29/2009 11:38:47 AM | I'm 5'8" and very confident in my masculinity. I have dated woman that are taller and it really did not feel awkward at all. One woman I dated for about a year was 5'10" and loved her high heel shoes. Kathy was a stunningly beautiful woman. Her physical beauty matched her inner beauty. She was also a very confident woman. She didn't need a man taller then she was to make her feel like a woman.
If two people click then why would you let something silly like how tall someone is to get in the way. | |

Posted: 9/29/2009 7:10:24 PM | I like it best when a guy is at least a little taller than I am, but since that's pretty hard to find, I don't consider it a deal breaker. My husbands were 6' and 6'2", but my last LTR was about an inch and a half shorter - and he LOVED the high heels, plus he was the most dominant of any man I'd known to that point. Height doesn't have anything to do with dominance. I have an occasional long distance lover who is exactly my height - and I outweigh him by a good bit, although he is solid lean muscle - but he is definitely The MAN. heh heh.  | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 5:33:31 PM | I like it when the man is taller, I'm 6'1" and have been this height since I was 13. I have been made fun of most of my life. I still cringe when kids and even adults say "you're tall!" Really? How am I suppose to reply to that statement? I have dated shorter and taller.
I love the comments in this forum from the shorter men that don't have an issue with dating taller women! | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 5:47:27 PM | ^^^^^ooohhh don't ya love the stupid comments like, hi shorty, how is the air up there, do you play basketball, you don't ever need to wear heels, gahhh like we need to wear heals. You wear heals so your legs look nicer, they pull the calf muscles.
Secure men know that tall women like men, they don't have to be taller. | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 6:10:07 PM | Im 5'11 and have dated men of all sizes and shapes. It hasnt been a problem to me..but some men have an ego problem with it..or they say things that are really stupid. As, if I can somehow change my height or would want to change it.
Ive been this tall since I was around 10 years old. I dont equate height with authority or masculinity the way alot of petite women seem to do.
I will say that most lovers that were really great were shorter than me and had ummm.... bigger parts. 
lol...
My best lover was 6'1. Man, I miss him..*sighs...but that's a whole 'nother story.
I say, be yourself. If the outfit calls for heels then wear them..If youre happy, then I dont think it really matters in the long run. | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 8:16:10 PM | I've never had an issue with taller women. My ex was 6' exactly, wore heels often, and was very attractive. My 2 daughters are both tall, one 5'10, the little one 5'9.
Somehow they seem to be more self conscious about their height than their mom was.
What does height matter anyhow? | |

Up til last July, the woman who cut my hair was 6'10". Thin hips/full lips. Her legs (often wondered where she found jeans to fit) went up for friggin ever! 'Course, I was always sitting, or semi-prone during the up-front wash cycle, so some of that was an illusion, but the top button of those jeans was pretty much level with my forehead even when I stood up. Lol. I just kept thinking of that Pretty Woman scene where Julia Roberts is sitting behind Richard Gere in the tub, and telling him how long her legs are.
Yeah, I confess, I had fantasies. Lol But, she ran off to Jamaica with her boyfriend, some underwater demolition guy (civilian).
OP, the last "taller" woman I got close to was in 6th grade, my mother signed me up for a ballroom dance class, WITHOUT talking with me about it first, and Georgia, my dance partner for the course duration, was at least a foot taller than I. Sweet girl, but she was about as homely as my ears were too large for my head, and I got teased for that. At this point, I wouldn't mind looking up at a woman, and that role reversal thing has nothing to do with height.  | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 5:10:49 AM | | I am not sure I will ever have this problem, being 6'6" tall, I have not met any women taller than me & if they were, I hope they would date shorter men. | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 6:21:49 AM | I'm only 5'8"
It's awkward when my date is the same height and she towers over me in heels...but I can still throw her over my shoulder and get rough like a man is supposed to. | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 7:02:26 AM | | I'm 6'2",and my girlfriend is 6'4". She likes being manhandled too,hair pulled,hands held over her head,etc. I'm a lot stronger than she is,so I have no problem doing so. However,at point of orgasm she loses control and has been known to nearly throw me bodily off the bed. Wish that strength could be harvested. | |

and it does make us a little uncomfortable
well then get the freak out of the relationship and find yourself a big man who can really manhandle you (just keep the number of the local hospital handy)
short guys generally treat you better. | |
