Posted: 10/30/2006 2:59:18 AM | | ...what do you consider to be acceptable, comfortable height differences (flat footed...no shoes) between you and your significant other? Is there too big a gap (lets say over 1 ft)...is there an 'ideal' difference...can the girl be taller than the guy? etc. etc. etc. What are yer thoughts on this one? | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 3:46:15 AM | yes, a woman can be taller than a guy. I'm ok with it...if this is what someone is basing a relationship on..wow! pretty shallow...why would you want to be with them any way?
i perfer that a woman be in a heigth range of 3"shorter or same height...but right now any height would be accepable....except for shallow! | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 3:49:07 AM | | ...i don't know if shallow is the appropriate word...i mean would you be comfortable standing under a woman towering over you...or in the same context...be with someone who is eye level with your nipples? I mean...this has nothing to do with what other people think... | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 4:01:20 AM | in reading some women's profile they have guildlines...
"you must be this tall to ride"....is that shallow...
if your within an inch or 2 what's the big deal...to sum it's all about how other's shall view them...so yes i do think it is an appropriate word | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 4:04:16 AM | | maybe....but would you date a chick who would have a "you must be this tall to ride" in their profile anyways....stuff like that, to me, is the biggest WHATEVER.... | |

At my friend's wedding a few years ago, I met her uncle who was 6' 11" and his wife who was 4' 11". Yep, an even 2' gap between them. Looked a little odd to watch them dance, like a man dancing with a little girl but so what? it worked for them, and that's all that mattered. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 6:02:57 AM | I am 5'10" well maybe 5'9 - 3/4" and she is 5'10" (so she says) but I am thinking she is 5'11'" because I am not below 5'10" if you know what I mean...
Regardless, she is taller... | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 6:06:17 AM | The fella I am currently dating is 8" taller than me and I confess I like it...when we hug I can snuggle under his chin...we just fit perfect. Just my preference.  | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 6:41:53 AM | all the girls I've dated/seen in the past were all taller than me.. only an inch or two.. The y always asked if I had a problem dating a taller girl.. I tell them "I don't really have a choice when you're my height."  | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 7:53:08 AM | | I've never been one to care about the height of a guy but I'm dating one who's alot taller than me and I have to admit I really like it. When wearing 6" heels, I am almost mouth to mouth. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 7:58:36 AM | | I prefer the guy to be at least my height. I once dated a guy 4 inches shorter. Yeah that didn't go over so well.....especially when I was on a top stair and he stood three stairs down and attempted to kiss me. OMG! It was awkward. Never again! | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 9:38:39 AM | | I don't think it makes any difference. Height is an external characteristic and I hope I've learned that external qualities are really only important for about the first 5 minutes. It's the internal qualities of a person that I'm looking for....those are the traits that matter in the long haul. I've dated guys that range from 4'11" to 6'2"....some of the shortest guys I know carry themselves taller and with more confidence than the taller guys. To each their own I guess, but it really shouldn't matter. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 9:48:30 AM | | I am around 5'5 - and I have dated guys over 6'4 and a guy that was 5'3 - the guy that was 5'3 was the funnest and greatest guy I ever been with. I usually look for the guy to be at least 5 inches taller than me - just because i like that 'big strong arm' thing - but I wouldn't have traded in the little guy for anything :) He certainly made life fun and brought out the best in me. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 10:16:31 AM | | I personally would never even consider dating/sleeping with or even hanging out with someone shorter than me. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 10:23:53 AM | i prefer to be the shorter one in any relationship... there is just something about getting a great big hug from someone taller than you... make you feel safe and stable. most of my friends are the same height as me with a few exceptions to the shorter side. i have to say that i am easy either way in that sense.
i dated a guy that was shorter than me by about 3 inches and it didnt work out.

Posted: 10/30/2006 10:30:27 AM | | As a rule i dont tend to care, but i am 5.10 or so. If i need a stool to kiss her that's uncomfortable for both of us. But eh, i wouldnt let height stop me from meeting and seeing where it goes. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 10:45:39 AM | Height makes no difference to me at all. I have dated a guy WAY taller and one much shorter.
I am actually surprised how many height threads there are on the forum and how often it comes up.
I wonder why I don't care about height? LOL
Weezy | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 10:58:30 AM | If I was a foot taller than my guy, I'd feel like a giant....most of the men I have dated have been over a foot taller than me and I like it.....tall men are yummy!
OK, enough about that.....now I just need to meet one.
