Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

I remember once my friend had to see his girlfriend…thing is she had a friend with her so he kindly asked me whether i would keep her friend company…he sold it on the fact that she was fit, arab with long curly hair…sounded ok since i wasnt particularly busy…

I got there and the girl was huge…my frined conveniently left out that detail…im 5’10…the girl had to be around 6’1 cos she was as tall as my friend whos that height…not only was she tall but she was big aswell…she was a swimmer and it felt weird enough that she was taller than me and i was having to look upwards but for her to have broader shoulders than me ridiculous…iv never felt so unmasculine lol…hugging upwards…walking side by side…it was ridiculous…

Now iv never ever been out with a girl taller than me or even close to being as tall as me…the tallest i reckon iv dated is about 5’7…i tend to prefer girls who are shorter…

My mate however loves those tall model types and i cant understand for the life of me why he would want someone who stands face to face with him…but to each their own…

Just wondering whether anyone here prefers tall women…and even whether women would consider dating a man shorter than them…i would thing you would have the same gender issue where you would feel less feminine if the guy is shorter than you or am i wrong…i notice btw that short girl love their 6ft plus guys…and girl that iv met under 5’2 iv always been their shortest guy…coincidence or is that a general trend?..

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

well, im 5ft4 and my fiance is 6.2...so yeah i've always liked extremely tall guys

most of my really tall male cousins have married short women. Its so wierd, and the ones in between tend to marry women closer to their height.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you…

hahahahahahaha :hehe:

Nope, never dated anyone taller then myself. :smiley:

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

I prefer someone taller than me but not too tall.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

I'm taller than my hubby. Not a prob for either of us although I dont wear heels anymore and I do feel like an awkward giraffe sometimes.

But what a prince he is. I'd have missed out on my "knight in shining armor" if I'd have been picky about height.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

Why would any guy be afraid/ shy/ jealous of a tall girl?

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

...........................at the end of the day ,it's not the other person's height but good compatibility & understanding which matters

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

i dont see why height matters.... its not something in one's control.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

never really met a girl who was my height so it had to be girls who were shorter than myself.

PS: basketball players excluded from the above point

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

My friend, how easy life would be if everything that mattered was in our control.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

well if he or she is tall then carry a portable chair or ladder with ya:) :)

Hug a girl or hold her while mvoing your arms upwards just doesnt seem right...i could not even imagine a good night kiss...having to move up a little...you just dont feel like a man if the girls bigger than you...its just not about looking up...

FrozenFires...
Being ugly isnt in someones control but i get the feeling that would probably matter to you...

Hsap...
Are you a guy?...if you are then would you get with a girl three inches taller than you and if your a girl would you get with a guy three inches shorter than you?...i dont think compatibnility and understanding would matter then...

PuchiKuchi...
I can concur that...

Mamaof3...
Are you notcieably taller?...

Massive...
Yellow pages would have been fine lol...

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

nbn, I am about 4 inches taller (maybe a bit less) so yeah i think its noticeable.

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

one of my uncles ' wife is taller to him , but it does not matter to both of them. and another thing it was not an arranged marriage .

but i always felt awkward thinking that my partner would be shorter . i don't like men shorter than me . i would go for a man taller to me

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you…

You know I had been wanting to start a thread on that as I have seen that enough to form a stereotype…wats up with that???..I mean I have seen tall guys prefer the shorter more petite women, and shorter guys ..dont have a stereotype of them as of yet…but really why…is it becuz they can pick em up or something…childlike:confused: ..Any guys care to answer that??

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

oh btw...the tallest Pakistani I know still is the tallest I have ever come accross...he is 6 ft 6inches...oh and still unmarried..cant wait to see what kind of girl he chooses:)..My brother who is 6 ft 1, look like bacha when they walk together:D....

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

nbn ! forget abt me , by compatibility & understanding among a couple ( dating or married) i meant that for me it's preferable over the way they look in appearance ( shorter guy & tall girl).............. i've seen such happily married couples , not just goras but desis/ muslims as well .

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

i've dated taller and shorter girls.... the shortest one was 5'2" and the tallest one was 6'1''
There are advantages and disadvantages which i'm afraid i cant explain.... ;)
But the bottom line is.....its the company which matter the most ...atleast to me....
By the way NBN...LOL @ ur incident with the swimmer.......its was funny dude....

Re: Dating someone taller or shorter than you...

i'm the same height, but i like my stilettos, so i'm always 3-4 inches taller than him, but like mamaof3, i would have missed out on THE most amazing man ever created if i had considered height an issue!

i still wear my heels and he loves having a tall girl!
