In high school I attracted a girl who was about 6'5" (a foot taller). I didn't ask her out for fear of what others will say and think. I also attracted a woman who must have been about 6' 7" or 6' 8" while on a line in a convenience store. I was up to her shoulder, and had fear again of what other people will say. I know these 2 height differences are extremely substantial, but they showed me something about self-confidence and making taller women feel good as well. For years and years I was turning down numerous chances to date more than a dozen women who are taller than me. Several were much taller. That's when I began to realize that tall or short, women have a heart, a soul, and personality. So I began to just treat women with respect for all of the characteristics that make them ladies. Being relaxed, friendly, personable, and sharing a sense of humor, has been among the reasons why I've had so many tall women show interest in me. Short ones too. But when I look up at a lady who is a few inches taller, or even 10 + inches taller, I don't treat them differently or look at them like they are different. I never ask a tall lady, "How tall are you?", unless I get to know her enough, and in conversation she wouldn't feel uncomfortable telling me. I never ask women who are 5'10" and over, "Do you play basketball?" or "Are you a Volleyball player?" Some tall women are nurses, lawyers, teachers etc. I also don't ever say to a very tall woman, "Wow, you're so tall!" I'm not informing her of something she doesn't already know. Besides, I don't want for her to say, "Wow, you're so short!"..."Do you play miniature golf?" Ha Ha :-) All in all, I've become so used to just treating any lady, with class and talking with her because she is interesting, has a great sense of humor, or a great personality. At this point, I don't even think much about the height of a taller woman. This has made me confident enough to get dates, as well as having made taller women feel good about themselves and dating me or other short guys. We are all born with very little control over what our height will be as adults. But we have a lot of control over how we percieve others, and how we connect. We also have a lot of control over how we communicate with people no matter what their height. To me, it is not about a taller woman's height, it's about making a taller woman feel good, appreciated, and respected for who she is as a lady. Plus, making her laugh and feel connected in interests as well as personality, can easily make height of lesser issue. The lady who is 6'5" and wrote the post, has a great point, that how a man makes her feel is more important than what others might think if she's seen together with a shorter man. Confidence and mutual respect make a huge difference in such relationships. When taller woman date shorter men and vice versa, ultimately others who may make comments, would see that other compatibilities exist. Love, care, and friendship would be the tallest of all.

Is it weird that I would want to be with a woman that might stand a head taller? It is a thrill to have that long body taking up all my visual space as we stand close or dance with those arms all around me. Jodi? If you still look at this piece. I want to say you're a rare find. You give hope to those guys that do like the tall side of the female world. I know of many guys (me included) that are attracted to a taller woman.

I work face to face with customers all day long. Young ,old, men and lots and lots of beautiful women of all types and sizes, working in such an environment has boosted my condidence no end and now i will brush off any hurtful or inipropreate comments about my height because i'm the bigger man (so to speak?). I have found that a woman will fall for you because your the best man she has ever met and if she can see past the height difference thing , i can't see why the relationship won't work. hi there.! i am a 5′2″ indian male (short,fat and ware glasses)not looking good so far.

Nearly every where I go I can spot easily hundreds of people that are taller than me, and a good deal are ladies. I've got a preference for tall ladies, and don't feel intimidated by taller women at all, but I feel as if I've not a chance in hell to get with them. I've got a female friend who's around 6'2" and she told me she would never date a man who was more than an inch shorter, which to me, was a fairly progressive stand-point (awfully insecure and shallow, but better than some other things I've heard). She obviously never even considered that she'd be hurting my feelings (not that we were dating, but still, way to make me even less emotionally stable). It seems to me that women who are tall only date short men when, in your case, they've really got no choice, or, rarely, they aren't overly shallow. Tall women are insecure because they feel like everyone stares at them, and don't want to be the freak on display. I would never want to be with someone who feels the need to be that way. Amazonian babes, listen up, short men are really cool. We treat you right because we will be really grateful just to hold your hand, or be seen with you in public. We're funny and truly interesting to make up for our lack of sex appeal, and we'll make you feel like goddesses. You've just gotta give us one chance to prove ourselves. Tall men will treat you worse than a short man will. They are spoiled and brash. They will cheat on you and make you feel bad. The next time a short man asks you out, consider him for a minute. You might just find your next true love.

I'm 5'5 and regretably turned down a lass I fancied in my teens because she was about 6'2. I regretfully bottled it because of what others might think. Now I've grown up (lol, in my outlook on life etc that is)Im more than pleased to say that fate has thrown us together again after some 20 yrs and I am proud to be reunited with my tall girlfriend.So to hell with what others might think,e know better! We have a fantastic thing together and height difference is certainly no longer a concern. Good on ya 6'5 babe. :-) Nice to read sensible comments for a change!
