to think at 5 foot you can't date a guy 6 foot 4

[mommy2ash]

I've always been a bit self conscious about my height but thankfully as I've grown older I've learned to feel more comfortable in my own skin.

the strange thing about being short is the sheer amount of tall guys that ask you out.

the tallest guy I've dated was 6 foot 2 and it was a great relationship but I had to always wear huge heels, run alongside him while he walked and he couldn't hear me talk without bending down.

there is a guy I know who is really nice but he is 6 foot 4. he doesn't see the problem but I feel self conscious just thinking about it. aibu?

YABU, dh is 6ft 6 and I am 5ft 4. We have been together 13 years, married for 10. I rarely wear heels!

I'm 5'6" and my husband is 6'5" - I've always had a thing for tall men. The only downsides are:

You have to learn to walk incredibly fast.
Your children will be gigantic and quickly overtake you.
You will never again be able to book a holiday anywhere that has footboards on the beds.
You get a crick in your neck when having a snog.

On the plus side he's very easy to find in a crowd!

I'm 5'2 and most of the men I have dated or had a relationship with have been 6 foot plus. I like tall men. Once dated a guy at 5'8 and it didn't 'feel' right at all

I actually happen to like feeling teeny tiny against a tall man. While I've always been a very strong, independent woman sort, there is something about being with a tall man that makes me feel safe and small and very delicate. And I love that. It's fucking weird, but I do

5' & 6' 2 here - not a problem other than needing to re-angle the shower, and not being able to reach some stuff in cupboards.

Is Greg Davies going out with Helen Baxendale??????

5' 4'' and 6' 2'' - it makes for very comfortable hugs! Though I told him that I wasn't going to be the "big spoon" again because I felt like a human backpack

I am 4 foot 10 and DH is 6 foot. We have been together for 22 years. Not weird at all. X

DD is 5' and her fellow is 6'5". She is tiny and he used to ride BMXs competitively so is built like the proverbial shithouse. They are adorable together. The only down side is getting in the shower after him as he has the showerhead right up by the ceiling and closing windows he has thrown open to their full width. He helped fit my kitchen and had strict instructions to put things at our height, not his.

I'm 5'5" and DH 6'9" and it's great!! Not an issue you soon get used to it ??

Nothing to it. Unless you're really into spontaneous alfresco knee tremblers, but even then, you could always carry a box around with you.

I'm 5'4" and DH is 6'3" we have been very happily married for 15 years.

Any issues you just work your way round. Just be happy, so what if there is a height difference. Tall blokes are great for changing light bulbs without needing to stand on a chair

To all those suggesting you'll average out the gene pool for the children -- my rather tiny DS and very tall DD would beg to differ with you on the benefits of that one!

Oh, also note that if you are the tiny one, your son or daughter may tower over you by the end of primary school, leaving you feeling rather daft as you scold them from around knee-height about missing homework and toothbrushing.

My mum was 5'2"(on a good day) and my lovely stepdad Is 6'6"! They looked fabulous together, my mum had 2 very shit husbands before meeting stepdad and she always said that she felt lovely and safe with him.

Had to put this on here!

Well my I'm 5' 1 and Dh is 6' 6. We been together 15 since we were in college. I rarely wear heels. It's only since being pregnant that I haven't been able to keep up with his walking pass. Our wedding photos were fine no standing on boxes or kneeling! He reaches the things on the top shelves.

Lucky cow.
Go for it.
That is all.

I've never cared about height (probably because at 5'1.5" I have short, not height!), my ex husband was 6'2", my ex partner was 6'1.5", there's a bf who was 5'5"(ish) and considered short...

it doesn't make a difference. a simple "hey! speedy! you know I have to take 2 steps for every one of yours!" covers the walking thing, never had a problem in bed either.

don't let something so insignificant to WHO the man is be the reason you don't see if things can work out.

Going back to heels and walking.

My DH is just 6' and I'm 5' 2 and half (or 5.3 if I remeber to stand straight). He walks fast because he always seems to be in a frantic hurry, nothing to do with height. I wear heels because I got fed up being the shortest woman everywhere I went and wearing sensible shoes because of bunions, nothing to do with DH being taller than me.

Im 5 foot and I've always found tall men attractive

Trevor - Greg Davies and Helen Baxendale are not together. They play a (very unlikely!) married couple in Cuckoo that's all.

Tall men are sexy, I've never really understood why I ended up married to one under six foot.

Also there is much evidence that tall men are more successful in interviews, so a good financial catch.

Has Mr 6'4" asked you out yet??? Go for it.

Well I'm fucked then. I'm 5 ft 2ins and DH is 6 ft 5 ins. I did ask him how sex would work when we met PS it works just fine!

I am killing myself laughing at 'human backpack'!

Greatest height difference here was 13 inches. 6ft 6 of very toned and fit second row. Good times.

My ex is 6 foot 6, I am 5 feet 1.5! My BF prior to ex was 6 foot 4. Neither relationship ended due to height .

The only major drawback is that now my 8 yr old DS is almost taller than me! It also caused more debate over which car to buy and which shelf cereal should go on ( v minor).

We have the which car problem, DH has very long legs, and the shelves/shower problem. DD1 was taller than me before she hit the teens, but I'm still The Parent so I don't let her take advantage of it

See, you don't need a huge height difference to create insignificant easliy solved issues.
