Would you date someone who was 6ft 6??

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...

When I had a 6ft 5 boyfriend, I had constant neck ache from looking up to speak to him.

I’m 6’5” (male), which back in the day was quite tall. I get comments anyway. “Ooh, aren’t you tall!” is a good one. So tiresome.
Never got any comments when I was dating a short woman though. There’s not a lot one could say, unless it was off colour speculation about sex?

I think when you are all y'all it is more noticeable. Nobody thinks that it is unusual for a woman to be shorter than a man. Our family are 5'10, 6' 1, 6'3", 6'6 and 6'7". Shortest 3 are female. We do get looked at and recently at Gatwick, a couple of staff remembered us from flying pre Covid!
The only disadvantages I can think of if relationship is serious is that children can be very tall and my 6'3" DD hated her height until she was about 17. And clothes are a nightmare. Inside legs range from 35 to 38" , sleeves are never long enough and they are all also slim so 38" leg length with 34" waist is not that easy to buy for on a budget. Also shoe sizes range from 10 to 14!!

I would. I’m almost 6ft though. I’d climb him like a tree. Tall men are super sexy. Has he also got big hands and big feet? Yum

@coatofmanycolors

Chances are he's hung like a horse too. Go for it OP
My 6'5" ex had the smallest cock of any man I've ever dated Grin

He was very imaginative with it though Grin

I'm 5'4" BTW

I’m very tall so it would be a bonus for me. It’s ok not to find someone attractive though. Leave him for a taller woman.

When I started dating my ex husband we were 14 years old and identical height, he grew up to 6ft 4, I stopped at 5ft 2! Never bothered either of us, but learned to naturally walk very fast and could run well wearing heels! Honestly never a problem. Our daughter however is 20 and 5ft 6 boyfriend is the same height so she complains she can never wear heels when in a night out with him unless she sits down all night!!
