I am only tiny 155cms and 44kgs . The shortest guy i've ever dated was only about 10cm's taller than me and the tallest was 6ft 4.
each had their own plusses which had nothing to do with height. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 5:02:49 PM | You kidding us Opie? The taller the sexier! Feeling like a little girl next to some big guy, what can be better! And if you are also strong enough to carry her around...  In fact, admit to it, this thread is billboarding is not it? Hehe. I could bet a dollar it's generated you a dozen of hits from women.

Posted: 8/7/2008 5:07:53 PM | Tall guys (or tall people in general) do not intimidate me, but as far as dating someone over 6'2"ish...I'd rather not. And yes, I've turned down men before because of their height. Since I'm only 5'2", I prefer someone between 5'6" and 6'0", ideally. I just feel too awkward being with someone who's so much taller than I am! This is one case where a woman likes "short" men! lol.
It's all about preferences. :-) | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 5:46:32 PM | | When I was younger, it was sort of intimidating..... but now, I would give anything to be with a tall man. It shows power, and makes me feel proud of your towering prowress, above the others. Wish I could be married to a tall man. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:10:32 PM | I love tall men, they do not intimidate me at all. Although, I have heard that some women do not like men that much taller then themselves
I was just introduced to a man that is 6'5" it's great. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:11:40 PM | OK 6'9"??? damn!
I find tall men, even extremely tall ones very attractive.
BUT
Standing on a ladder to kiss them? Not so much. Hugging? Seems a bit "off" to me. But really, though, it depends on the person. I am not easily intimidated (if at all) and whether or not you are tall or short, is irrelevant.
If you are a good person this will show through. Think of it this way: it is likely more heads will be turned in your direction due to the height, and one of those pretty little heads may just turn yours.  | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:37:20 PM | I swear I must live in some sort of dating hell.... I've had a good number of small women get a look of fear in their eyes when I'm basically towering over them. This goes all the way back to my late teens. maybe I really should move away from here. :)
Ask a woman around 5'1" or so to dance and she'll look up with that look like she'll run away or at least wants to... not every time, but enough. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:44:30 PM | Absolutely not- but then, I'm 5'11.
It sort of seems to me like there are more extra-tall guys in the current generation of young men. I would have swooned to have met someone 6'9 when I was your age! | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:47:10 PM | Intimidating? No way, unless you're an extremely agressive person and come across that way in person.
I personally am very attracted to tall men but I'm sure like anything else, it's a personal matter and what appeals to some, may not appeal to others. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 7:55:05 PM | Not intimidated, but prefer guys between 5'10 to 6'1. (I'm 5'8)
Taller than 6'4 I start thinking of trees.
And it hurts my neck to reach up and kiss him or look at him. I've dated very tall guys a time or two and I felt like I was being "consumed" (for lack of a better word) while kissing them or otherwise being intimate.
On the plus side, though, they're always easy to spot in a crowd! | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 3:36:03 AM | Not a bit. I dated a guy who was 6'6" in uni and believe it or not his surname was short. (not kidding)
The only problem it presented was that when he dropped me off at home he had to step onto the roadway, and I stand on the curb in order to have a cuddley type kiss.
And anyway, I grew up with a family who were all over 7' except the youngest boy (dubbed shorty) who was only 6'8". The oldest lad was 7'8". Sure he stood out in the crowd and had to duck to get through doorways, but I never noticed any challenges with his social life at all.
They did all marry (except shorty) tall and robust women though (same as their mom and dad). Shorty (who is about your height) married someone about 5'10". | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 4:22:57 AM | Wow,
you ARE tall! (sorry, stating the obvious but that was my reaction!)
I can see why some shorter women might be a bit intimidated, or just think you might look a bit silly together, but I also know a couple where he is about 2ft taller than her and it doesn't bother them.
I was with a bloke about 4" or more shorter than me for years, and it didn't really bother me except when he thought it was funny to get me to walk in the gutter  and we never really danced.
There is something very manly about a bloke a bit taller, and for initial attraction purposes I think that's what floats most womens' boat, but I wouldn't rule someone I liked out based on their size.
You would be nearly a foot taller than me, and thinking about it, well lets just say Im aware my eyes dilated! | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 5:34:30 AM | Height alone won't intimidate me, but if he's also a beef cake I may feel a little primal terror. The tallest I've been with was 6'4" and we fit just fine.
6'9" is a bit much, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'll admit I'd much rather the guy I'm looking for not be that much taller than me, but extreme height is acceptable to me. My personal preference though is 5'8" - 6'2". | |

I don't doubt you've had this experience. It probably mostly depends on the height of the woman. Although there are some women around 5' - 5' 2" here saying it doesn't matter to them, possibly a lot of women who are what's called 'petite' are more comfortable with men who are not over 6 foot tall. It's not a matter of being intimidated, it's a matter of what feels comfortable. I met a guy on line who is 6' 3" and was not comfortable with him, I'm 5' 3". For me, the tallest I'm really comfortable with is 6 foot. But there are lots of women, as these posts prove, who are of average or above average height for women who love tall men. So, I'd say, in general, MOST women are not intimidated by tall men, and many prefer very tall men. It does seem almost all women like men on the tall side, just ask men 5'7" and below.... | |

However I would like some opinions on this, do you girls get at all intimidated by guys my size?
Not all girls, but I have no doubt some would. My son is between 6'4" and 6'5", and many people have told me that upon first seeing him they felt a bit intimidated, and were pleasantly surprised after getting to know him to find that he is one of the nicest, most laid-back guys you could hope to meet. And he really is. I call him my gentle giant.
I think even I experience some of that as a 5'9" woman - well, between my height and the red hair. People do have an unfortunate tendency to believe in silly stereotypes. No matter; the ones worth having around are the ones who look past the surface stuff and make the effort to get to know us. | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 2:32:15 PM | Are you kidding tall guys don't intimidate! I am a 5'7" woman who LOVES to wear heals and I find it very hard to find guys who are taller than me when I wear them. most of the women I know love tall men (in fact I think they have found all/most of them in my area) including myself. ok so maybe you intimidate the guys a bit but only because they are jelous because of the "tall, dark, and handsome" thing.  | |

Chuck: They're not intimidated, they're uninterested.
I think that chuck meant that most women are intimidated by the idea of dating a short man (and especially a shorter man), not that they are intimidated by short men themselves.

Posted: 8/22/2008 10:05:55 PM | And again, my point is still valid. Intimidated != uninterested. Either could be the cause, but the second is far more likely. Sucks to be short.
Again, women are uninterested in dating short guys... they aren't intimidated by the idea, they find it unappealing. | |
