Would you date someone who was 6ft 6??

[Notheightest0]

Met someone from OLD.
He is ridiculously tall. He's also really big, think Anthony Joshua build.
I'm 5ft 4 and I honestly feel ridiculous standing next to him.
We both liked each other and want to see each other again.
I'm just worried about the looks and comments we may get...

Yes, I dont think it's unusual. There are loads of tall men. A 6'6 woman dating a short guy would probably get rude comments.

I'm 5'3", have had both relatively short and tall partners. DH is 6'1". The taller ones are way more use generally when you are a shortarse.

yes, because I am 6ft 2.

IME most tall men prefer petite women. This used to annoy me so much as a younger woman, as I thought I 'should' date a man taller than me. My partner is 5ft 11, loves my height, and that I passed it on to our children.

What? Why wouldn't anyone date someone they liked purely because they were tall? How odd

My DS is nearly 6ft 3 and he has lots of friends who are girls who are around 5ft/5ft 1. Initially they used to get comments, but he says no one seems to notice anymore

My DH is 6'6 & I'm 5'5
Never bothered me. I love him the way he is + I always preferred tall men. ( my preference)

Never noticed getting any looks from people.

I think you're trying to convince yourself not to like him 😬

I absolutely would. Love tall men.

My husband is 6"5 I am 5". Yes I feel ridiculous sometimes bit doesn't matter

@AlternativePerspective

I'm a 6' woman and for most of my dating life I wouldn't go out with a man shorter than me for fear of it being noticed, or me (or him) being laughed at. The difference though is that it’s more unusual for a taller woman to go out with a shorter bloke.

Personally I find short men a bit of a turn-off.

I do too but feel I'm being judgemental.

My best friend is 6' and her husband 5'11" and a bit. She always wears flat shoes so she's not significantly taller.

Remember the tall blonde woman who married Mini Me?

If the comments you might get would really put you off dating someone, imo you need to do a lot of work on your self-esteem and self-confidence before dating at all. It's absurd self-sabotage and often based on pretty boring societal prejudices.

Firstly, no one cares whether you're with a tall man or a short man or a man of any height. Secondly, why do you care if they do have an opinion?

I'm 5ft 9" and would have LOVED a man that tall to want to date me but they all seemed to go for the petite 5ft 4 girls! My son is nearly 6ft 7" with broad shoulders and his previous girlfriends have all been around 5ft 3" - he says its because he likes to pick them up and feel protective . He's single now but been on a couple of dates with taller girls and appreciates not having to bend down so much to kiss them .

But to answer your question, no there's nothing 'weird' about a tall man dating a shorter woman! However if you feel ridiculous and think you will get comments then you will never relax into the relationship properly so don't carry on with the relationship!

Yes! I'm nearly six feet myself. A big built very tall man is my ideal.

I’m 5’4 and DH 6’4 also gets mistaken for AJ.
We literally get zero comments about our height difference. Why do you think people would even care?

Yes, of course. Grow up!

@beattieedny 🤩🤩🤩

God, yes. It's the dream! You do realise how few decent, tall men there are out there? ...

I'm 5'1 and my husband is pushing 6'1, doesn't bother either of us

Dh is just over a foot taller than I am and it's really a non issue. We've been together for over 30 years and it's really not something people comment on.

The height difference wouldn't bother me.

I think that would be too tall for me personally! I'm 5ft and dp is about 5ft11/12ish and that's enough for me! I find very tall people intimidating.

Of course!! I’ve never had comments, and if I did I wouldn’t care. It’s like saying should I date a man with red hair as I have brown. If someone makes comments, it’s them being the idiot.

5'11/6' here, partner around 5'8.

Used to get to me too that men always preferred shorter women. Can't wait your whole life, rejecting men you like, just because of height.

And I was completely put off when DP first told me on t*next he was that height. But in real life, if you like them, you won't give a shite.

I'll have him.

King Felipe of Spain is very much taller than Queen Letizia, who is petite. Who cares? My best friend is as tall as I am 5,10, and has constantly rejected suitors who were not taller than her. Guess what, she´s single. Constantly rejecting really nice guys for being her height or marginally shorter. My husband is 1 inch shorter than me. His mom made some scathing comment about him looking short and he responded, in bed we are the same height. She never made any comments again.

I’m 5”6, DH is 6”8… we get looks 😂 I don’t care! People always asking if he is basketballer.. he wasn’t but was in another pro sport. The hunkier the better I say 😉 xo
