| Can a man be too tall to date?
Posted: 11/25/2007 1:06:32 PM | | I'm 4 11' 1/2" so I prefer to date shorter men. I don't really like to date over 6' tall. The whole.... your the same height laying down doesn't work for me. I want to be able to lean over and kiss a neck or shoulder not a belt buckle! | |

that's how I feel too, it hurt my neck and back to have to strain to kiss my shorter ex boyfriend and the only time it was easy was if we were both sitting down. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 2:05:56 PM | 'Can a man be too tall to date?' Wow! Well the answer in this case is, "NO"!
I am only 5' 3" tall and the tallest man I dated was 6' 11" tall, with a size 18 shoe! In fact all have been 6' , to 6' 7" tall. I find that tall men prefer petite women from those that I have dated. They have told me things like, "petite women are just plain cute", to ...."I prefer the feeling of being protective over a smaller woman". ...and that they didn't find larger women were as feminine as petite women. One told me he did not like looking at a taller woman's large feet or hands, that for him was a turn off. There is something just plain sexy about the thought of what goes on in the bedroom with a taller man. I like the feeling of having a larger hand holding mine too. Tall men for me are a real turn on and do not intimidate me at all...in fact I get a kick out of bossing them around... & play fighting, and most I have found to be very submisive, which is another turn on for me.
It is my preference to date 'tall' however I was probably conditioned to having this preference, as my grandfather was tall and my most perfect example of a man. However, everyone is different, and your friend should be respected...it may sound shallow to have these likes and dislikes however there's not much that can be done to change the way we have been conditioned. We are all different in our likes and dislikes and there is nothing wrong with that. Bring on TALL!!  Yay! | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 2:39:40 PM | The “short” answer is no. Just caught a Guinness records program that showed the latest and former tallest man in the world with his wife. He looked almost twice as tall as her. Which should get all those with security issues drooling.
I have to thank Ms. Verygreeneyez for at least one answer I can understand. As I understand everyones right to a preference, but the preference to get close to someone and have to look them straight into the shirt buttons eludes me. As does the claims by some of being self sufficient and not needing someone other than for sharing. Then automatically eliminating 2/3 of the possible choices because they don't think they'll feel protected otherwise? Would an average size guy holding a shotgun while cuddling do the trick, or safer by yourself?
This is meant as commentary of a concept, not any one or group of individuals. And can be applied whatever the too much is. Like my talking too much.
And to save those ready to jump on their keyboards the trouble, I know the preference has nothing to do with logic, it is what it is, a preference. More's the pity.
And this just a counter point, with here seeming a reasonable place with back door to drop it in. As the other 2/3 of us can't lean against the wall and have it fall, like an elephant, we must employ tactics to spread the word, like the leopard. (or fly over like the “falcon”. But don't look up, you may get more than you bargained for.) kidding | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 2:40:59 PM | | I have a thing for giants. There's no such thing as too tall. I like to ask them how the weather is up there. Besides, they're usually pretty strong, too. Good athletics in the sack, as a rule. At least that's what I heard through the grapevine. I could be wrong...Love, Titus | |

Me too ... 
But one more thing that I had to add is, I found it alot safer because if the sky ever falls down, it will hit the taller ones before it hits the shorter ones ... lol | |

I could see where some guys would think that specific height match would be just perfect.   | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 10:23:28 PM | | This is just like saying you are too big for me (package wise). Who cares. Move on. The next one is going to say. Wow. That is so awesome. I've never had something like that. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 2:59:55 AM | I love tall men. It really depends on both their confort level, alone and in public. Slow dancing together is very awkward, as is picture taking (she would need a stool, seriously). My Cousin is about 6'6 and his wife is about 5'4, but if you're happy together who cares. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 8:55:34 AM | Friend of mine is 5'4". Her ex is 6'8".
I'm 5'3" and dated a friend who was 6'7".
Bottom line is that if she is claiming she won't date him due to his height, she just isn't that into him. Has nothing to do with his height in reality. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 9:00:31 AM | | No way. I'm 5'7" so tall guys are great for me. But no matter what height the woman is, people shouldn't judge a guy regardless of height or anything. | |

Posted: 11/27/2007 6:28:01 PM | | A lot of women prefer taller men, but some don't. It all depends on the individual. I used to prefer to date only men under 5'8". I wasn't at all comfortable with men who were signifigantly taller than I was. As I matured however, I over-came some of the attitudes that were the cause of my discomfort. I no longer consider a man's height a factor in overall attractiveness, at all. In fact, my last husband was 6'9". | |

Posted: 11/27/2007 8:36:18 PM | | Based on what I have read on these forums, I don't think that many women would reject a man because he is too tall. It is usually because he is too short. | |

... few guys that I've gone out with were 6'4" the tallest one was 6'5" for some reason, I feel safer standing next to the taller ones (and I actually prefer taller ones as well)!
