| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 8:35:37 AM | Loads of respect to those taller women who see no problem in dating shorter guys.
Personally, I don't think I have much chance with anyone who is taller than me because I know that most women don't like dating shorter guys for various reasons.
But when I do, (rarely) see a tall woman walking down the street with a much shorter guy, and you know that they are 'together', I think its fantastic. They/She obviously doesn't give 2 hoots what people think, they are being unconventional and good for them. Never be a sheep of society, buck the trend, be different, live on the edge, be true to your heart!
Thats the right attitude to have. | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 9:27:25 AM | | It's not rocket science. Lots of women have an instinctive preference for a taller guy. Probably dating back to the days when the caveman fought for his woman! You see the same in reverse - albeit to a lesser extent - with some guys seeking 'petite'. | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 9:40:43 AM | | hey even short ladies from 4ft 10 inch have said i am too short so i dont hold my breath for a taller women although i have been out with someone who was 5 ft 9 in and 6ft in heels so it does happen at times, we are all the same size laying down mind doggy can be a stretch | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 12:23:57 PM | Well, I've been shorter than most people I knew, ever since I was a kid. Didn't bother me then, doesn't bother me now. I've met taller and shorter who were interested. It was mostly the 6' beautiful fit blondes who didn't seem to care that I was shorter than them. But then again, they could pick anyone they wanted. Guess that says a lot about short men.  | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 1:19:43 PM | sorry msg 8 but wasnt it you who said something about women should be slim and small compared to men, goes back to the caveman days you told me.

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 1:41:49 PM | I personally can't date men shorter then me, although saying that there can't be too many men in the world that are shorter then my 5 foot 3 inches. lol!!!! I think it's a feeling of being protected by a taller man, I also like chunkier men than the skinnier version, each to their own though, although I'd never say never. | |

I'm 5'10" and a half,when i wear heels,which is quite a lot of the time,it makes me over 6',Ive been out with men shorter than me,once or twice,and i feel personally that it looks daft.I've now met a lovely man(on here)who is 6'3",and that suits me just fine.But i think its down to personal choice,and he suits me
You've met a lovely guy off here and he's tall?
Someone pass me the smelling salts, didn't think such guys existed on here  | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 3:10:45 PM | Personaly i never had a problem with short guys, but ones who dis girls for being a size 14 i do have issues with. dissrespecting women who are a size 14 or over ok,have a proplem with.but its personal taste if a bloke doesnt find a women a size 14 or over attractive enough to date! | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 3:21:15 PM | | Sorry, but I couldnt get into bed with a man knowing my legs would be further down the bed than his, it is just not right. | |
|
| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/15/2007 4:16:02 PM | Irrelevant of height difference, if you disrespect yourself expect to be disrespected back.
Behave like shit and expect to be treated as such.
I'd have to feel pretty shit about myself to blow a guy who says I'm too fat for anything else ! | |

Bernie Eccleston is what 3ft 5 and 186 or something and hes married to a 21 y.o. 10ft blonde supermodel and any picture I've seen of those two together looks normal to me, i mean it's bound to be love and feck all to do with him being wealthier than God. hahahahaha I prefer men taller than me, but then i have said it before and ill say it again, the only men shorter than me worked for willy wonka | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/16/2007 1:37:25 AM | I always thought it would be good to date taller guys, till I met someone 6ft 4" and felt a bit overwelmed.
I am pretty tall myself 5ft 8 without heels and have to say I have now dated some shorter guys and there are some pretty hot one's out there! So for me, dating shorter guys is not a problem.
Oh yes, there was one guy who had a complex about his height and asked me once to stand at the edge of a road whilst he was on the pavement, needless to say that did not last long.
I think some girls associate tall with big, strong and manly.But do we really all want that type? Im looking for good personality, humour and intelligence, none of which are obvious to the eye. Mind you having said that i do think the eyes give it away.
Might be better to stop looking up or down and see the person for who they are. That's all any of us want really, isn't it? | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/16/2007 3:19:57 AM | Ooops Sorry. Thought I'd stumbled onto the gossip and back biting thread.
I grew up with 5 brothers taller than me. They're all 6' and over, as is my Dad. I'm 5' 9 in bare feet. I've usually gone out with people 6' and over but have dated people the same height or slightly shorter than me. It does feel a bit strange to be with someone smaller than me, must admit. Not that it stops you having a good time. But can give you a crick in the neck after a while. | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/16/2007 3:27:22 AM | I'd have thought this was pretty obvious really
Both socially and instinctively there are mental images of what makes someone a compatible mate that we apply
Masculinity is to an extent defined by stregnth and stature, whereas femininity is more defined by delicateness and grace
Many women will feel more "feminine" with a man who is physically larger than them and almost masculine with a smaller partner
Many men will feel more masculine with a daintier smaller partner than they would with some hulking bruiser of a woman
Some women will see a smaller man as almost "feminine" in their eyes, and some men will see a larger women as more masculine, which gender confusion aside wont have as much appeal to a stauch hetrosexual person
Obviously these arent constant and will vary in degree from person to person which is why peoples tastes vary so much and hy there are always SOME exceptions
Whats I do find really funny tho is women who bemoan men who wont date women larger than them that also wont date men larger than they are, and men who complain women who are taller wont date them but wont date women fatter, but the same hieght or shorter than they are
Bit hypocritical really | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 11/21/2007 3:40:15 AM | I have just seen the following comment on a profile - I hope they forgive me for using it
I am only 5 ft 6, but it is better to have loved a short man, than never to have loved a tall. Quite apt I thought, and very true. | |
|
| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 3/21/2009 4:54:17 PM | yeah I'm 5ft 4 and its an issue for the majority of women. its worse on these dating sites. i've even had dates arranged off here and then suddenly they've said " I Cant meet" and then never messaged again after being really nice in the emails as they never noticed my height in the profile... doesnt bother me to be honest.. I wouldnt want to be with someone like that anyway so they've done me a favour. I think the best thing is to go out and meet people because these sites are too easy to just move on to the next one... You only live once so just enjoy life and don't get bogged down with superficial stuff... If your happy and healthy thats all you need!!! | |

| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 3/21/2009 5:03:45 PM | Bernie Ecclestone is only 5'2", but managed to marry a 6'2" woman....you can't help but wonder how many of the " I WILL DATE 5'10" AND ABOVE ONLY! " pof girls would change their tune for a short, charming billionaire...  | |
|
| short men dating tall women - why not? Posted: 3/21/2009 5:06:51 PM | Paul Daniels + Debbie McfeckinGee = Silly! lol, rotflmao, haha, hehe and all that...
I think short men should wear heels.
Seriously at the end of the day, we all have preferences, people need to accept them and not take offence. | |
