A woman's height is not an issue for most guys.

An issue for me would be if a 5'10" woman approached my weight. Then I'd have an initial concern, but it's not a deal breaker.

I don't believe that I would date a woman who weighed more than me no matter what her height is.

At 5' 11" the tallest girl I've ever gone out with was 6" 2" which didn't bother me until I picked her up. She was wearing a pair of come f*ck me pumps and was now more like 6' 6"-6' 7" and that was a little weird. So to level the the playing field after dinner I change plans and we went bowling instead. That made cut her down to a more reasonable height.


The three best advantages of a tall girl
1 ) They don't ask you to reach for any thing
2 ) If they use your car they don't leave the seat all the way up
3 ) uses you imagination ....

Well I know all too well about this... my girlfriend is 5'10' and so am I according to my profile... well at least I thought I was until this sexy Giraffe walked into my life... when I stand beside her it becomes obvious that she is taller then me... so we have a problem here... either I am 5'9" or she is 5'11"... She suggested she could be an inch out... what a sweetie... :p I tend to agree with her, although truth be told, I am more like 5'9" I guess... I chalk it up to old age and showering twice a day, I am shrinking...

Regardless, the best relationship ever for both of us, going very strong now and continuing to get even better...

Height only matters if you are concerned what others think about you...

Besides, the majority of us are the same height when in bed...

I've always had this dating issue... i stand 6ft tall, and i just can't bring myself to date someone shorter than me. I know thats shallow...but, the thought of bending down to kiss my date... irritates me.

Seems like most men around my area and age group...aren't very tall,and if they are..they are already taken

Never been attracted to one that was taller than me, so I guess it answers that question.

How tall is her heart?
How tall is her spirit?
How tall is her compassion?
How tall is her empathy?

Physicality aside, we are all just humans.

@BuckNut: Trolling is what you were doing. (God, love a girl on a fish dating site that doesn't know what a metaphor is..) He ain't king of the Forums, but it isn't a free for all either. What he was politely asking you was, what do you say has anything to do with the subject instead of whining for a date? And then I saw your caustic reply that how dare a man challenge you and ask you to explain and I understand part of your problem. No worries.

OT: Who cares if she's tall? Does she give good head?

BND, here's the OP's question:
How do guys really feel about dating a girl that taller then them? I'm 5'10 and I'm just wondering.

Here's your answer:
I've always had this dating issue... i stand 6ft tall, and i just can't bring myself to date someone shorter than me. I know thats shallow...but, the thought of bending down to kiss my date... irritates me.

Seems like most men around my area and age group...aren't very tall,and if they are..they are already taken

You have to read for comprehension. The post seeks male advice regarding how they feel about dating a woman in the top 1 percentile of height. Not how other 1 percentile height women feel about dating shorter guys. There are hundreds of other redundant useless threads on PoF where you can "look down" on men shorter than yourself. In those threads you can post your negative trolling thoughts.

My opinion on tall women not finding suitable tall guys to date is this: those guys are in short supply because all women regardless of their height just flock to those guys, they are essentially like PoF "hot chicks" that get bombarded with responses they can't humanly respond to in a polite way, and they can pretty much cherrypick whoever they want to date.

If a tall woman wants to improve her dating prospects, she should get past the "primordial" BS excuses for a woman to seek a tall guy to feel "feminine", "protected", whatever, start looking at "who" a guy is instead of "what" a guy is. She would then stand a way better chance to find a guy with other compatible qualities. The OP is wise enough to feel this way; she asked how guys view a taller woman, guys responded, BND you didn't add anything to the discussion, you tried to highjack the thread, that is why you are a troll.

Of course anybody can post in any thread according to PoF rules; there are lots of posts I could add useless sarcastic inane comments to steer the thread off track, I try to follow the rules.

The topic was about do guys care if the girl is taller (the answer to this is "no"); and you come in and post that you could never date a shorter guy. If this was called the "let's bash short guys" thread, then you would be on topic. But you were off topic, and the comment was negative/nasty, so that makes it "troll" status.

cheers

Well I have a couple of thoughts on this. For me personally, I do have a preference, although this hasn't really been an issue yet, but I prefer she be 5'10 or less so she doesn't tower over me. Now, if she was a real sweatheart and was six foot tall and didn't care I was shorter than I wouldn't not date her because of a height issue. And if she outweighs me that's fine too, as long as I'm attracted, not like I'm going to weigh her to find out anyway lol.

Now for your average guy, I think they are less likely to approach girls taller than themselves. Read all the shortman threads on here, and it's clear women prefer to have a height disadvantage compared to the man they're dating. So basically, a lot of us assume that we shouldn't bother with taller women, even if it doesn't bother us. Also, I think most men have a mild preference to being the taller partner. It's not set in stone like it is for most women, but a lot of men do have an image in their heads of how a couple is supposed to look. One thing I'm pretty sure on is we don't care about towering over though, same size is fine (preferred in my case), and we definitely don't need to be a foot taller than our date.

I think your average guy who's an inch or two shorter probably won't have an issue with it, more than that a little more likely, but even then probably not. I would suggest maybe putting in your profile that you don't mind shorter guys, but if you don't want to be half a foot taller you might want to mention this as well. (Yes a few on here might take issue with such a statement, but I think you have the right to whatever you might prefer, and stating so makes it easier for everyone.)

Good Luck :)

I have been tall all my life and have never met a girl taller than me. I seriously doubt that there are a lot of women out there that are over 6'3' but hey, if there are, sign me up!!

Hey guys.....I really appreciate everyones opinion....It got in a very interesting debate in the middle somewhere...LOL.

I personally don't mind dating someone shorter then me...I was just wondering how guys felt about it.

I don't care as long as I am respected (and he will always get respect from me).

If I really liked her It wouldn't matter to me if she was a little taller then me (like 5'9'' or 5'10'' ) I'm more concerned with chemistry and how much we have in common then I am with height. I also believe mutual respect is important if you wanna have any type of relationship. regardless of height or looks. Taller women can actually be very sexy. Love long legs.

Love the question. And it's something I have wondered to. I know my preconception to the answer but see now I am probably wrong. (Sorry if this is trolling as well - is appreciation trolling?)
