It can look ridiculous. But fair play to any lad that pulls it off. I'm 6 foot so I doubt I'll ever be in that situation.
and im 5'1" so chances are i wont find a guy shorter than me. though there was a pretty handsome dwarf on a tv show i watched a while ago, damned if i can remmeber which one though. anyway. if the two involved are ok with it, why the hell not? i lik ehaving a guy taller than me because it makes me feel more protected, but its hard for guys to not be taller than me.
I'm 5'10 and usually end up with taller men. I've dated one that's shorter than me. He's about 5'8, so it wasn't really awkward.
I really like tall girls personally. Most of my girlfriends have been 5'8" or so and taller. I've dated short girls too, but tall girls always stand out to me, especially when they're extra curvy and meaty.
I'm 5ft 10, the majority of girls are same or shorter than me, i sometimes find a few giraffe's though, i dont think its hard to "pull off", i wouldnt say no to a girl i liked if she was 5ft 2, so why should a girl say no to me if she liked me and im 5ft 10?
Girls need to feel "protected" (from what? Are they aware of the existence of firearms and police?), and to earn less, etc. et al. Now, I'll agree that a guy that is much shorter than a woman looks ridiculous so long as a woman who's much shorter (say, W 5'2" guy 5"10") is also considered ridiculous. You know, I'm a pain in the ass equality between genders kind of guy. I've had 3 women who were taller than me, including my longest relationship and a girl who was 5'11". I'm 5'6".
I am 6'2" so most guys are shorter than me! But, to be honest, I am far more physically attracted to ones that are taller than me. It just feels silly being with a guy that is like a whole head shorter than you!
who said they "needed" to feel portected? i said i liked to feel that way, but im also a submissive and so i like the guy feeling well, more powerful than me. otherwise submitting to him doesnt relaly work, even if that game is only played in the bedroom. but good to know i looked ridiculous when i dated guys literally over a foot taller than me honestly why is the exterior packaging so important, as long as you arent turned off by them? isnt it the personality youll have to deal with the most, as bodies change and accidents happen
The exterior packaging is important to YOU, as you'll only go with taller men. Please answer your own question. I didn't suggest you were ridiculous. What I think is ridiculous is the female habit of having to feel, well...inferior to men: weaker, smaller, shorter, earning less, etc. I also think it's ridiculous for people to think a much shorter guy is ridiculous whereas it's ok for 5'1"s to be with 7 feet tall motherfuckers. THAT's ridiculous.
i didnt say id "only" go with talle rmen, just that all the guys ive dated so far have been taller than me. which isnt exactly hard with me bein ga whopping 5'1"... very few men are shorter than me, most of those who are have dwarfism and, to be completely honest, haven't run into many in my neck of the woods who are male nor in my age range let alone with a personality id wanna date
tall girls and short guys- so ok! i've been in fashion industry and there are plenty of models who date really cool guys that are maybe shorter than these girls. and when the girls are wearing heels then the guys are definitely alot shorter but damn they look hot together. Short guys who have a problem with being short or having a taller girlfriend i think it's just tragic... just plain stupid. actually i'm 170cm (which is concidered kinda short in fashion) and all my boys have been taller than i am, but i dont really care about that.
and i would never ever date a guy who had a problem with me wearing heels ( so he would look shorter next to me) insecurity is such a turn off!!! be a man and enjoy the pretty sight of my beutiful long legs and killer heels
I am 5'3, which is kinda.. er averagey/short. My current boyfriend is 5'7-5'9 or so, and I really like this height difference. Though, I once had a ex who was 6'5. I didn't care for it much. And another ex I had was 5'1 or so. Which also kinda bothered me. But I figure as long as the guy is a good person, height is irrelivant [sp?].
I am 5'11.5 inches tall ,and if a girl is taller than me we will settle it on the court. If she wins I will walk away. If she loses thats cool too.
I'm fairly average girl height (169 cm - none of this feet and inches nonsense in NZ ) and I tend to go for guys who are the taller than me just because when the guy is significantly shorter I feel like this Ginormous Hippo Woman in comparison, which isn't really a turn on.. that said, height is good - but it's by no means a prerequisite. I don't really get the girls who put on those sort of blinkers - they cut themselves off from so many great people. I don't really know how to put this but in my head, like when I imagine 'token hot dude' he would be taller than me, but in reality it doesn't matter and i'll fall for a guy emotionally rather than rationally - with my heart and not because he fits a predecided ideal. (P.S. I apologise for the cheese in that last paragraph)
I'm 5'8-9ish and won't date guys way shorter than me or way taller than me. I get too intimidated by really tall guys, especially if they're big in general. I like the same height as me or an inch or two taller. Enough room so I can wear heels and not be ridiculously taller, but not so tall where I always feel invisible. I am sooooo used to being taller though. I have been 5'8 since I was 13.
