If you have a partner/DH, what’s the height difference?

[stoppedinmytrax]

I’m (cautiously) dipping my toe into OLD and as a bit of a titch (5:1), I am definitely attracted to ‘the taller the better’. I did once date someone who was 6:4 which presented a few logistical challenges but overall I loved it.

If you have a DP/DH, what’s your height difference? Does height matter to you?

I am 5'7". Dh is 5'11".

I once dated a guy who was 6'8"!

11 inches
Im 5’1 he’s 6ft
I love it. I’ve always liked tall guys. Just don’t fancy short ones. I think it may have something to do with wanting my kids to be tall as I’m not. 2 sons. One already quite tall lol

5ft1 and he’s 6ft4 found it weird at first and I always wore heels to make me taller 😆 Hardly ever wear heels now and couldn’t care less it’s so normal to me, well 20+yrs later lol

I'm 5" 5, he's 5" 7 or 8. I'm not interested in tall men, I don't like being towered over. I dated a guy slightly shorter than me for a while and had no problem with it.

I’m 5’4, DP 6’2
i stand on the coffee table if we want a proper snog, other than that it’s great.
it’s definitely important to me, I would always look for a tall man.
though I have dated women too in my past and I don’t like a big height difference!

Me 5’, 10” smaller than DH and one DC, 14” smaller than t’other DC. DGC rapidly about to dwarf me too. Send help!

I’m about 5’4. DH is about 5’10. Neither of us particularly tall but he’s tall enough for me. And wide.

I wasn’t that bothered about height I just didn’t want to feel big around my partner. I prefer to feel small and feminine.

My cousin is 5’11 and wouldn’t date anyone under 6’2 for the same reasons!

I’m 5’11 and DH is 6’1. He was the shortest guy I’d ever dated when we first started seeing each other 25 years ago. Previous serious boyfriends were 6’6 and 6’3.

Sorry I havent read every post.

Dp is exactly my height and a few kilos lighter than me. I adore him. The number of women who limit themselves just not to feel bigger than their partner is a constant mystery to me. One of the loveliest guys I’ve ever known struggled for a partner because he was short. He had absolutely everything a woman could want except height it seemed. More fool the women around him.

I’m 5’11, DP is 6’2 so not much difference.

Height doesn’t matter to me at all, but it did matter very much to a guy I went out with who was shorter than me. The relationship didn’t last because he was an insecure sexist dickhead, not because of his height.

I’m 5’3”, they’re 5’4”.

Perfect height for kisses and cuddles. They’re the shortest person I’ve been with and I love it!

I’m 5’10 and husband is 6’3

A foot difference

That is a weird height disparity IMO, 15 inches!

You will of course get lots of posters saying (on here) that there's a foot and a half difference between them and their partner, and it's never been an issue and no-one has ever noticed or commented ... 🙄

DH and I have a 6 inch difference by the way. I'm 5 ft 4 and he's 5 ft 10.

I could never be with a man who is taller than 6 feet tall.

.

Height is totally irrelevant.

Not to everyone.

1 foot.
My husband used to be 6’3 and I used to be 5’3 but we’re probably both about half an inch shorter these days.

I'm 5ft 7 and dh is 5ft 6. Doesn't bother me - and it meant I was 'allowed' to wear flats with my wedding dress which I was very happy about.

All my friends tell me I'm so lucky cos he's such a good guy and then in the same breath say they couldn't go out with anyone less than 5' 10. What's more important?

I'm also a real titch (4ft10) and ds's dad is the shortest person I've ever dated at 5ft6. Tallest was 6ft2 which was a bit awkward. Current bf is probably 5ft10 ish at a guess. My mum and dad are 5ft and 5ft10. I don't mind a short king but in my experience taller men have liked that I'm short. I have no idea why, it's not because I'm particularly child like because I most definitely look like a grown woman, I don't have a boyish frame by anyone's measure. I suppose they think it's cute?

I'm 5.5, OH is 6.4.
I've always preferred considerably taller men.

I'm 5 ft 4, my partner is 6 ft 1.

An inch and bit. I am just under 5 11 and he is 6ft.

My husband is a foot taller than me! I'm 5ft2 he is 6ft2. I like it 😊

4 inches. It is a nice gap. Biggest gap I have had was 10 inches. We were together a year and I can’t remember his eye colour. (Which might be because it was 30 years ago or might be because I never got to see his eyes!)

That depends on your proportions. I'm 2 inches shorter but with much longer legs, so I have to move the seat back when I get in!
