To all the tall ladies

[leekohler]

I'm 6'1, tbh I've never liked being with guys who are considerably shorter, two or three inches is dealable with, 6" or more is not it just gets awkward.

Overall I like being a tall woman though, it has allot of advantages which make the few disadvantages worth it.

Darlin', let me tell you a little secret a lot of us gay men know- what short guys lack in height, they usually more than make up for somewhere else, if you catch my drift. They also tend to be super energetic, which is great. Take it from me ladies- date the short guys. You'll be glad you did. I sure do love 'em.

And itcheroni- don't worry. I'm sure there's a lovely lady out there for you. You sound like a nice guy.

Okay, lesson learned. Don't ask an earnest question on a message board. I didn't want this to be about being short in general but I guess it's inevitable for people to say whatever they want to say rather than what's asked. There was a reason I only asked women. And it was a convoluted question anyway.

Glad you learned your lesson then, by asking your very serious and important question somewhat ambiguously on a primarily male forum. Still, you got the answers you asked for and the topic didn't stray, you should consider that lucky enough. What you lack in height you just may compensate for in attitude.

Being 6'5", I don't run into many women that are taller thsn I am. But, there was one hostess that works at the Kona Grill in Scottsdale, AZ who is taller than me (even though she wears flats). It is actually quite scary, and I am not sure that I could handle it.

I'm going to go ahead and take that as a compliment. But seriously, I know what you mean to say. And, like I said in the beginning, and contrary to most of the responses here, I don't have a problem attracting women. It's telling to consider that if you reread my thread but changed it to a problem of being tall with everything else I mentioned, it would come across as me being a chick magnet. I can't help but wonder if, hypothetically, the situation were a black man, fully cognizant, who was in a situation where he thought white employers would automatically count him out, but then has a situation that made him think differently. Would a thread that asked for employers' opinions have people stating, "Thank God I'm White!" Or, "here are some products for bleaching your skin." (Some of the products were pretty funny but where did you guys find them?I'd only wear a platform if it had seamonkeys in the heel.)Ah, but I'm sure some people will respond to this and point out the obvious differences between height and race and they would miss my point again. I just want to make the contrast to show how random some of the posts were. (But this is also just me. I think way too much about contexts and connotation. Hope this doesn't come across as being too sensitive.)

And while attracting a woman with personality and wit is fine, sometimes I just wished someone would want me just for my body. It's a pretty nice one.

Welcome to macrumors.

On a serious note I think it goes both ways, for me there are two types of short guys, the shorts guys who will just try it on with any girl within 5 meters (that's not specific to short guys) and the type who don't who just act like I don't exist for any other purpous but to be eye candy, maybe this because they think I'm totally out of their leage or just plain scary or whatever, to quote what a (rather short) comic once said when he brought me on stage "F**king hell you're tall, do you think a girl like you could ever date a guy like me" to which I replied "I don't think so" mainly because he was a few decades older than me.

If a confident short guy showed he was intested then I wouldn't turn him down because of his height, the big trouble I forsee with such a relationship would be the guys ego and thus it comes down to him and whether he could deal with having a girlfriend who's taller than he is.

i think most ladies would appreciate a guy that can dance than a giraffe that looks like having a seizer on teh dance floor.

Income?

Height hasn't harmed Bernie Ecclestone's lovelife.

Or maybe it's because of something else...

See above ^^

I think I get what you mean. It can be frustrating to post something such as "looking for an inexpensive solution to ____" only to receive "thank god I'm rich" type of responses but such is forum life. Hopefully some of your replies have been helpful to you.

I just noticed...are those boobs in London?

I'm around 5'11" and I probably wouldn't date a guy that was shorter than me. It's not that I don't find shorter guys attractive, it's just that I always kind of felt a little masculine around them.

My boyfriend (of around 2 years) is about an inch taller than me and that suits me just fine.

With these, they'll never notice.

Tsk. They're not even trying. This is what you need

Wait a minute, when did you see me try to dance???

As others have noted, some women have a problem with guys being shorter then themselves, but not all have this issue.

Oddly enought, some tall ladies are concerned, or even embarrassed by their height. I find this odd, as so many tall girls are so stunning. Maria Sharapova, for example.
