To me height is such a superficial, silly thing to care about! If you are smart, funny and moderately attractive that is good enough for me! Just had my second date w/ a great guy who is 5 inches shorter than me. No complaints!
I'ma stick with the cats, thanks. The last thing that little ambulatory snot-factory needs is enhanced mobility.
I can agree that tall girls are more self-conscious. You're treated like a freak show if you dare to date a guy shorter than you. Examples:
I'm 5' 10.5" too. I was terrified of heels from age 18 (before which I didn't realize how short most men are) 'til about 29, when I decided that since I'm taller than most men I might as well be RIDICULOUSLY taller than most men (and also mad sexy).
Hey all you tall girl haters, news flash: y'all are short. Tall girls are where it's at and we have legs for days. We have our fans, trust on that.
Hellz Yeah... I'm 5'10.5 ...almost 5'11...super annoying how a lot of men don't consider tall women 'feminine enough' or whatever...
Congrats for not being typical, I guess? I once had a guy who I was on a date with walk my 5'9" in flats self up to a 5'4" cashier and loudly say, "See, (cashier), YOU'RE the perfect height for a woman!" Needless to say, that was our first (and last) date.
I'm 5'9" and dated a shorter man only once in my entire life. It felt awkward and I looked like an amazon next to him. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, but most tall women don't. (I'm married to a man who's 6'5". Heaven in every imaginable respect.)
Your lumberjack — does he like to skip and jump, press wildflowers, and have buttered scones with tea?
A-fucking-men. 5'9" with no shoes, 6'2"+ in my preferred going out shoes. They love it until they don't (yes, I know, there are those of you out there that do like us tall, but it's not often).
She's not imaginary, she's from Canada. We met at summer camp. I don't have any photos cause her family is really strict about that stuff.
Your....your bear hands?
A deer once murdered my entire family and I strangled the last breath out of it with my bare hands.
Yes, this. And then you always have the friends with significant others who are all "But I know SO MANY people met their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife on there you just gotta keep at TELL ME EVERYTHING that happens," like you are some sort of cute science experiment to be observed. And you have to sit there,…
When I was on OKC, I always mentioned my height to shorter guys who messaged me. I'm 6'1, and most men don't read the profiles so I was always curious as to why a 5'6 man would message me. At least 90% of the time they would say 'Oh...didn't realize you were that tall, nevermind' or just ignore my messages from then…
What if maybe those women decide to break the gender role that women should stand there and wait for men to walk up to them? What if....THEY walked up to men?
Is that really a good thing? I admit that I suck at online dating. I find that meeting online is a great way to meet friends, but I've never had really good chemistry from those encounters. Maybe I don't know how to quantify what I want?
