Can a man be too tall to date?

just as waistbands are a popping so too are feet out the ends of jeans I have noticed. This is because about 30 years ago we were invaded. No one noticed because the invaders were a plant lifeform called the triffid. Susquently after some limited interbreeding experiments they decided that human dna was mixed with triffid dna was the way forward. Simultanously they have engineered global warming to produce an environment conducive to rapid plant growth, i.e high CO2 and high temperature. That is why you now see a lot of young people who are much taller than us older folk. Women in their teens and early 20s are as tall as tall men were 10 years ago and the young men now are reaching over basketball hoops without jumping.



You think I am making this up?


Go upto one of these unusually tall young people armed with a can of weedkiller and see what happens. They will either overpower you and suck your brains out before their skin splits apart and their true plant form emerges, else if you manage to get the drop on them, just watch as they melt into a horrible puddle of green slime with one touch of DDT.

I can offer further evidence in support of this fiendish plot against earth. As said above, our waist lines are expanding. Why? simple because as we grow fatter, we cant run as fast making us easy prey to the armies of triffids about to engulf human kind.

Time is running out for humankind. I beseech you before it is too late, buy DDT and use it indiscrimentally on any tall person.

love and peace

When I was in college, I dated a guy who was 6'7 and I am 5'7. I came up to his waist! He was a basketball player for the University of PA. I usually date short guys, but I will always remember him since we were a foot apart!

Yes. But it can be overcome just like any other physical characteristic ....

You'll read on her quite frequently laments from the short men - nobody will date the short guys, and they always get told that is is what's on the inside that counts. So yes, I do not seek to date tall men, but if one comes along that rocks my sox off I'm not going to turn him down just because he is not my preferred height.

I like them tall (6' to 6'4") but on the slender side. I definitely do NOT like big-muscled or stout guys; I find them overwhelming. Also, I don't need to gag ... sounds weird but I prefer smaller 'equipment' .. and lighter hair. Somehow it seems gentler for some reason; less intense.

So give me the blond, shy, goofy and lanky nerd any day. He can tower over me all he wants, as long as I won't be suffocated or squashed.

That is hilarious ... I can't imagine someone saying something sooooo incredibly exaggerated.

From my waist to the top of my head is almost 24 inches. From my armpits to the top of my head is still 14 inches. Yet the poster states that at 5'7" she only came up to his waist. That guy who was 6'7" most likely had no head or shoulders ... OR he was really 7'7" ...

OT ...
I don't really care how tall a man is ... but I do prefer he be at least as tall as me or somewhat taller. I don't mind if he is much taller than me.

A man too tall is like a woman too pretty.

I have a friend who's 6'6" and he's the sweetest guy in the world. The first time I met him I told him he was perfect for me because I like tall guys. If only he didn't live a couple of hours away...lol

Prime example of what I have been saying. Tall men seem to seek out short ladies--why I do not know?? Personally I am five feet, six - barefoot and never hear from tall guys in my age range--60-78. Maturity comes at different times for all.

I for one love tall men and would like to meet some. Tall is not everything but it does mean something to my chemistry. Tall men stand erect and don't bend at your shoulders, bend from the waist and be proud of your height. My son is 6 ft, 4 in and I am very comfortable standing next to him.

No, a man is never too tall but the lady may be thinking too short!!
Where are all you tall older guys hiding--come out and play.

I don't mind dating a tall guy as long as we are compatible.

I would think it would depend a great deal on the personality of the guy. Before the spinal collapses I was 6 feet tall and my wife was 5 foot 2 inches. She said I made her feel safe. Granted that's only 10 inches, but I'm sure you get what I am saying.

No, not at all. Some tall men in fact prefer taller women, but though I am short, I have always preferred big guys.

Height wouldn't matter to me, have dated shorter and as tall as 6'8" . In my opinion, a man is not measured by "inches".

I am 5'6" but could stand to lose a little weight.. and I dated a 6'5" guy not to long ago and loved it cuz I felt so petite beside him. His hands were so big that I could not intertwine my fingers with his because it hurt my hand to do so.. and his pinky was bigger than my thumb.. "sigh"

It was somewhat awkward so when we kissed goodnight I made him go down a step on the stairs heheh and we fit hand in glove then.

I have been seeing a guy off and on recently who is only a little taller than me and we fit like hand in glove.. I love cuddling with him. But he is built large on top has big forearms and shoulders.. so I still feel petite next to him.

So there are pluses to each..

I'm only 5'1", so 6"6" would be quite the neck sore.

the tallest I've dated was 6"1" it was ok...I wouldn't like to feel like a dwarf standing next to a giant though

"A man too tall is like a woman too pretty."

tall does not equate pretty and yes a 7'5'' man is not gonna have anymore success with woman as a 5'4'' man once you are over 6'2'' I don't think those extra inches help THAT much

I'm 6'5" and I know I get some looks that I wouldn't get if I were 6'2" or shorter.

Seems like I can't get women taller than 5'4 interested in me. Ex was 5'5. Girlfriend before her was 5'0. She use to like falling asleep on me all the time like a cat.
