There's never a yellow pages to stand on when you need one.

It does look odd a really tall woman with a shorter man.
But i suppose he'll save on the carpet burns on his knees. He'll be able to muff dive standing up.

There is research, which has shown that short men are more aggressive and insecure, than taller men!

My son is only 5ft 5" at 23 years old. He is rarely without a girlfriend, plus a few more chasing him. The majority are good looking girls, and a couple have been real stunners a couple of inches taller than him. Think it must be the sparkling personality that he inherited from his Mum that attracts them.

My last S/O was about 5'6", I think; a whole ½ inch tller than me. We went out for almost two years. I think we'd been together for about 8 months before I realised that I was significantly taller than him when I wore heels.
I only realised when I noticed that he was stood on his stockinged tippy-toes to give me a kiss goodbye, whilst I had my 4" heeled boots on.

There is more to height than how tall you are (no, wait, run with me on this), it sounds daft but I think you can have a tall personality even if physically, you're not

I think that Womens height does'nt really matter, i don't mind Women being Shorter or Taller than me, as it's whats in the heart,and weather you both love each other and get on well with each other, in a relationship that count's isn't it? :)

I heard a tall woman describing how this problem felt from her point of view...

"When we're nose to nose...His toes are in it"

"When we're toe to toe...his nose is in it"

"When he's in it...I can't see him at all".

I really dont think it would matter to me at all. I must say i find it strange that people ask such questions really, some must be obsessed with image installed by the media that dictate we must be this height, this weight etc to fit into society.

Theres more to life than image.

I've had taller s/o's and ones similar in height. I have never found height to be an issue with me, although it has bothered some males.

I think masculinity is in the persona and not the height IMHO. Some men just ooze it.

I'm 5'6" myself and I had an ex gf who was 5'8" when she had heels on she was well over 6 foot, she used to complain that she could'nt wear her heels when we used to go for a drink. She kept hinting-on that i was too short for her....

I would date taller or same height girls but think we would look silly when they wore their 6" thigh high pvc red boots out in public.

That really wouldn't bother me.. I lived with a 5'11" idiot for 13 years (I am 5'4") so finding a guy who is taller than me is not one of my priorities... I could not care less how tall my man is just as long as we get on and he treats me right...

I think it's down to our dna.

However, I have on many previous occasions wanted to go on a date with a woman who was taller. They've never been interested, always wanting, and believing, that a man had to be taller than them.

Clearly, height is a real issue for women.

i have been out with a girl who was 5ft 9 it did not affect us at all we liked each other so it is possible to meet women who dont mind about height but it is true that the majority want a taller man but thats just a preference thing

There is research, which has shown that short men are more aggressive and insecure, than taller men!

What, all of them? Do you have a cite for this? How were aggression and insecurity measured? It sounds like a piece of research I'd like to read!

As for the topic, it's down to personal preference which is determined by factors both in and out of our control. It will bother some people and not others.

I love to date tall men, they make me feel normal, petite and protected. I always have a complex that we will look like an oldfashion blackpool picture post card if I dated someone smaller especially fi he was thin too!

Personally I see no issue in height - its about the person inside isn't it? I have noticed that many "your date" profiles are set at 5ft10, so being 5ft9in is just an inch too short so I don't email or wink, it is a bit gutting, but there we are - excuse the pun, life is too short

i don't think that there's anything wrong with dating men shorter than myself.... in fact my last 2 boyfriends were shorter than myself.......and no we didn't part for that reason we just found that there just wasn't that spark to continue

I can sort of understand a extreme difference in hight putting people off but not a few inches in hight surely?

I'm 5'9" and would mind dating a woman 6 but i don't honestly think women like it much.

Maybe its a instinct thing?
