I dated a guy that was about an inch or two shorter than me. It was summer so I just wore flip flops. But, not my wedged ones. When inside I wore no shoes and it was cool, but it was definitely on the brain. I'm 5'7.5" and a big girl so if I date a shorter or same height guy he should be no shorter than 2in and thick to match my weight better.

In other words yes lol. 🙂

"why freebird....is it just too arkward to deal with?"

I really have no clue if it is too awkward to deal with because I have not delt with it. I prefer men who are just a bit taller than me....I am not into really tall men - hurts my neck when kissing 😉

Ya know...it's like this - I'm hungry for a scone, in front of me are three types - cinnamon, cranberry and blueberry. I know what I want - my inner knowing....I want that cinnamon one!

::skips off with scone in hand happy as a clam:: 🙂

.....ah, blissful!

LOL this question hits me. I gotta answer as im dating a guy who is about an inch taller (5'6) and i just cant wear my heels anymore around him... 😢 But i like him although i feel less protected at times around him as im so used to having a bigger bf (all my ex bf's are 6' at least)

I can't imagine taking him home one day as i used to make joke about short men!!!! I actually never thought of dating a short guy ever in my entire life and how on earth im ending up with this guy now!

But who cares as long as im happy and he's sexy and sweet 😛

When I 1st met my B/F I did have reservations about dating him because he's short. I'm 5'2" & have always liked guys who were tall.....like 6'0" 🙂 I met him off of a social networking site & he put that he was 5'6" which is much shorter then I'm accustomed to. When we met I realized he was NOT 5'6".....NO try more like 5'2" Yeah my height! LOL very short for a guy but ya know what, I'm so happy that I overlooked that because he is absolutely the sweetest guy ever! Height does not make the man. As far as feeling protected, my guy has a rock hard buff body so I have no worries there 🙂

The physical hieght wouldn't bother me, however, the disposition that often stems from this insecurity would definitely be a deal-breaker, if the person allowed their physical attributes to give them a complex.

Short dude syndrome can be very devastating to a guys sense of happiness if he has been emotionally tramatized by it ... for he then is usually violent in nature, as if he has to prove his manliness so he won't feel inferiour.


So long as that ^^^^ isn't present .. then he could be a midget, and it wouldn't effect my relationship with him.

I'm 5'5, and I like it when the guy is a few inches taller than me. For lots of reasons...My head just nestles perfectly on his chest (right near the shoulder...You know the place!!) and it's a very comforting place to be hehe 🙂...I feel safer around a guy that is of good height (not really a reason behind it, it's just how I feel)...I can always wear heels without any dramas 🙂 which is great, coz I am in heels most of the time... And you know he isn't gonna suffer from short-man syndrome as PA said!!

I've never been with anyone really tall, tallest was probably 5'10 - 5'11.

SS, why did you have to bring tall, dark n handsome into this? *drools* Mmm-mmm...I'll have some of that too, thanks 😉

Lol GB, it's one less point you've got to worry about, coz you fill that criteria already!

Lol Shaka, get over yourself :p If you're the perfect package, how come you don't post pics / myspace links etc huh?? Hahaha

I LOVE tall dark n handsome...It's weird, coz personality is the most important thing to me - but I have noticed that all the guys i've been attracted to have had dark hair, olive skin tone (which is dark compared to me haha) and all been around 5 - 6 inches taller than me. Most of them have had light coloured eyes too 🙂

My exes are 6'3 and 6'4, and my heart is 6'7... I'm 5'7, so I obviously like height. I like when he can walk up behind me and rest his chin on my head lol. Or when he has to lean against something and spread his legs in order to lower himself to my height. It's just something that really attracts me. The kisses are so much more fun to me too. I feel safer with taller dudes, as I am pretty strong and "thick" as dudes call it. I like guys who are toned but not TOO big, so they're usually skinny with basketball bodies. I NEED height. I tried same height before and it was really awkward for me. I couldn't ever rest my head on his shoulder without it hurting my neck lol. So shorter would be a stretch.
