Dating taller?
- Thread starter Warped9

I'm the tallest female blood relative, clocking in at a whopping. 5'1 3/4".
Munchkin.
I'm considered short for my family, at about 5 6". Everyone on my dad's side is about 6 feet, or thereabouts. My mom, however, is a shorty. She's about 5' 1" or 2. Whenever we come to visit, she has hubby get things down from the cupboard for her.
I'm short for my family too -and I'm 5'9"!
Any of you folk who like tall women should definitely come to Saskatoon, I'm short for round here too
Don Adams was at least two inches shorter than his Get Smart co-star, Barbara Feldon. In the two-shots, Adams always stood on a box to give the impression that he was taller. It was kind of silly, because you could clearly see in the long shots that she was the taller one.
Just thought I'd mention that.

Height is very low on the list of my priorities. It's nice when a guy is tall (but not too tall), but I pay a lot more attention to a proportionate body and masculine build, and, most importantly, strong personality and presence. The only problem I have with difference is height is practical - which is only an issue when there is a large difference; i.e. in my case, when the guy is too tall. It's generally a pain to stand or walk next to a person and have to strain your neck and look up all the time. (The "what people would say" issue is completely irrelevant to me.) I am taking tango lessons, and dancing with someone much taller is less comfortable than dancing with someone close to your height. Which isn't to say that I wouldn't date someone much taller than me, I'm certainly not going to limit myself that way. Since I'm 164 cm tall and I usually wear heels, most guys are either slightly taller or around my height, or noticeably taller, it only becomes a problem when a guy is very tall - 190 cm and over. (High heels don't help in that case.) But these days there are quite a few of those very tall guys around. I don't often meet guys who are noticeably shorter than me, though it does sometimes happen. Would I date a much taller guy? Of course, if I liked him (I guess I'd get used to the beck strain after a while). Would I date a noticeably shorter guy? Of course, if I really liked him. Would I stop wearing heels in that case... Probably not, though I'd have an excuse to stick to those under 10 cm. He can always wear shoes with thick soles. 
In social interraction, height doesn't mean nearly as much as people make it out ot be. I've met some very short people who have such a strong presence and dynamic personality that they seem to dominate every conversation and social situation. And there are lots of tall people who are very insecure and passive.

If the human guy in your avatar is a picture of you, I'd say it's very easy for you to stand out in the crowd, whatever your height.There is definitively some stigma about short men. Just like most men appreciate ladies with a blooming bosom or a roundish derrière, most women prefer taller men: it's a matter of simple biology, so there is no reason to argue against it. However, even with my diminutive height, I had very few problems due to it: sure, you don't stand out in a crowd and girls are less likely to notice you, but as soon as you personally meet someone, it becomes less important than, say, an amiable personality or simply good manners.
They used to make similar accommodations for Claude Rains. Silly. He was a giant no matter what his height.
They do a similar thing in Toy Story because of the difference in heights between Buzz and Woody (I was watching the documentaries with my kids the other day) - it's not really just to make the man not look short, but to frame a close-up properly the two people do need to be of similar height.
Aw, I'm 191 :/

Of course he stands out in a crowd. Everyone knows he tried to steal $640 million in negotiable bearer bonds from the Nakatomi Tower!
I'm 5'11"... A girl I really fancied at high school was taller than me, I'd have happily have dated her, but everyone I've dated has been shorter than me.
Oh my, I was going to joke that I'm actually the iguana on the background, but I'm blushing so brightly right now that I'm experiencing difficulties to articulate properly...If the human guy in your avatar is a picture of you, I'd say it's very easy for you to stand out in the crowd, whatever your height.
And I would have succeeded, if not for that meddling cop and his feisty wife. Let's hope my brother Simon can do better.
I'm male and only about 5'6. Probably 80 percent, or more, of the women I've dated have been taller than me. The tallest was 6'4 and several others were in the 5'10 to 6'2 range. It has really never mattered to me. I've also dated women that were quite short. After a while, the height thing doesn't really seem noticeable.
