<p>Inspired by the "date a fat person" thread:</p>
<p>I have been attracted to girls who were taller than I (I'm 5'10" for the record), very attracted because they have such long legs, but I've never actually dated a girl who is taller than I... and this is a tremendous bother for me, because as a male, I am supposed to be secure and confident, but the idea of dating a taller girl hits me right in my insecurity...It's like the more height she has on me, the more insecure I would feel about dating her....</p>
<p>So....</p>
<p>Men, Would/Have/are you date(d/ing) a girl who is taller than you? And for the ladies, would/have/are you date(d/ing) a guy who is shorter than you?</p>
<p>Hahaha, I dunno, I'm 5'10" too, so I guess, 6'4 or 6'5. After that, it just looks ridiculous. But that goes the other way, too. I couldn't date an extremely short girl because we would just look silly together.</p>
<p>hahaha my old school had the cutest couple ever...!!</p>
<p>the tallest guy in the school(kinda fat too) was dating this really really short girl..</p>
<p>whenever they are walking together, he hunched over(since he had his arm on her shoulder), and i actually saw this girl going up about 3 stair steps juss to kiss him on his mouth!</p>
<p>I don't really care how tall anyone is. One girl I dated in the past was really short and then another girl I dated was a little taller than me. I've never really payed attention to it to be honest.</p>
<p>adconard, so if you were to meet a girl that is, say 7" taller than you, it wouldn't cross your mind that she seems a little tall to be dating you? I think there is a sort of two-way issue that goes on here...girls usually (by social standards, female need for security) desire taller dudes, and guys (because of this, and the whole male psych) usually desire shorter girls. Short term flings can go either way, probably, but long term stuff usually has higher standards for me at least. </p>
<p>I know this guy who is married to a girl who is a foot and a half taller and at least 50 lbs. more than him, and it's strange for me to see it...The dude has to be pushed around in bed, and could you imagine the cops ever showing up at their house on a domestic violence dispute? LOL</p>
<p>To be honest, I wouldn't date a guy that's shorter than me...or even the same height. I'd want someone at least a couple inches taller than me (I don't want to be taller than him in heels ;)).</p>
<p>I don't care much about height. As not as she's not so small that I feel like I'll break her or not so tall I can't reach her. I'm about average height (5'6), so a lot of girls are a little taller or a little shorter.</p>
<p>There was a study done awhile back...taller men (defined as over 6 ft) are more likely to get married, but the divorce rate is higher. Tall men are also more likely to become executives, and have more kids than shorter men.</p>
<p>I don't think I could find a guy shorter than me. I'm around 5'4'' or 162 cm. Most everyone is taller than me. If I could find a guy shorter than me I don't think I would mind.</p>
