Shorter boyfriend.. experiences? Thoughts?

(and I'm not talking penislength here!)

Hey all

Just wondering.. I'm taller than my boyfriend (he's asian) and I was wondering if there are more couples here where the girl is taller than the guy. What are your experiences with it?

To be honest.. this is the second time we're dating (long story). The first time I really missed having a 'big man' to cuddle up to and be the 'little girl' with. But now (finally!) I realised that my bf is more masculine than a lot of 'big guys' will ever be.. I feel loved, protected, secure etc. It's weird sometimes though.. I'm a lot more concious about what I wear (eg. high heels) and being on top with sex or doing 69 is not always as easy as with a taller or equal length person. But overall.. I wouldn't want to miss him for the world!

Some (female) friends of mine however still bluntly state that they would NEVER date a man who is shorter than they are.. well.. I hope true love will come in the package they are hoping for

So... what are your experiences/thoughts on the subject?

 

Hehehe...I know it's shallow but at 5'2" I would NEVER date a man shorter than me

 

If I really had feelings for someone then it wouldn't matter how short they are. while I am naturally attracted to bigger, taller men, I don't go around saying "nope too short". But I do know what you mean by bigger men being more cuddly.

 

Yeah.. at first it was strange and kinda difficult.. but now I only think it's funny when I snuggle up to him in bed and my feet stick out.. hehehe.. we joke about it and all is fine. I think that it's also very compensating that he is WAY stronger than I am.. so he's not 'boyish' or anything.

Any more thoughts/experiences?

 

I am rather tall for a chica (5'8) and I met this great guy a few years ago... the problem was that he was only 5'1 and I just couldn't handle it. I couldn't take him seriously.

He was in the military and everything, absolutely ripped with muscles, but I just felt clumsy around him. I also LOVE heels and knew that they would just complicate things.

My hubby is 6'1, and I am much happier with a feller that I can dance with. What can I say, I like to be dominated. But if your short guy melts your butter, by all means, stick with him. Different strokes for different folks... Peace, sister!

 

well, I'm only 5'2" so I'd be hardpressed to find a guy who was shorter than me who was at least my age or older... and no, I wouldn't date them unless they had an amazing personality that shone through.

 

Yeah.. I really had to get over myself.. I felt big (although I'm pretty slim, but because he's shorter and all) and hairy (I'm not hairy but he's asian so has practically no chest of facial hair) and all.. but hey, that's just ethnic stuff and you shouldn't be depending on your boyfriend for your selfimage anyway so.. was a good learning experience. Esthetically speaking we look rididulous together.. but we are both slightly odd people so in a way that's a perfect match as well.. teehee

 

I'm pretty tall for a girl (5'9", or 1.75m) and I'm kinda conscious about my height, so I'd feel very weird dating a guy who's shorter than me. I know it's weird and kinda superficial, but I also know I wouldn't feel comfortable with a shorter guy. I think it's great though that you don't let the height issue get in the way. I should be more like that too.

 

one of my best friends is a dwarf man. i'm only 5'1" and he's just 3 inches shorter than me (tall dwarf)we get weird looks when we hang out, but who cares it's nice for me to once be able to look at another adult straight in the eyes without having to strain my neck looking up.
other than that the shortest man i ever dated was 5'6". i think i have a thing for short men. i find myself 'checking them out' when i go places.

 

Im pretty tall for a girl (Im about 5'8") and Ive dated (serious relationship) one guy taller then me (6') and I slept with a guy that was about 6'4" or so and I loved it. I like to feel safe and it can be hard to feel like that with someone that is 5'5" or so it makes me feel kind of awkward. I would never say that I will only date men that are taller then me but I deffinately like it and prefer it over being with a guy shorter then me.

*CHEERS*

 

I'm just over 5'8". I don't consider myself to be especially tall or anything. Actually I like my height. I've had crushes on guys of all heights. I don't think I've dated anyone shorter than me. Not noticably anyway. I wouldn't have a problem with it. Especially an asian guy. I love asian guys.

Anyway, we're all the same height laying down! LOL

 

Exactly!.. hehehe.. and yeah.. I have a thing for asians as well.. plus he has long hair (shoulder length) which makes him look like some kind of ancient warrior type of guy.. *sigh*..

 

I'm 13 and 5'3", so i'm sorta normal height for my age... The guy I like is way shorter than me!!! Aargh! Even when I'm wearing flat shoes. Not cool. But I really really like him and he's got a TOTALLY awesome personality so I kinda ignore the height thing. My m8s all say "he'll get taller don't worry" but his mum an dad are quite short and i have two 6 ft tall aunties so .... i normally go for tall guys but I guess not this time.

 

The only reason it'd suck, that i can think of, is that i wouldnt be able to wear heels at formal occasions LOL. I hate it when guys are shorter than me, im 5"7 you see.

 

Hey..
I'm Asian and I'm 5'2. My boyfriend is white, of European descent and 6' so...there is kind of a height gap here as well but he has no problems with it. I used to be so self conscious about it. I knew that I am not tall but I didn't think I was THAT short either but all of a sudden, I'm like a tiny bird. I used to love being able to kiss a guy's lips without having to tip toe even in my heels. Also.. because I have black hair, it just seems so stark obvious... and I would envy my blonder friends' hair color as they don't stick out and then to blend in as part of the body. But he's turned out to be the guy that I've dated the longest!

And aesthetically, I think mix couples look pretty cool AND mixed children are always so gorgeous. MOst of them anyways. I grew up with many mixed people so I would worry so much about how you guys look together.

I wouldn't trade him for any other person of my race so I understand how you feel.

 

Hi, I am a short guy (1.63 = 5.3ft, I think). Anyway, my girlfriend is much taller than me (1.78 = about 5.9ft). so, there is a 15 cm discrepancy between us. The begining was the hardest. many were the mokings and the laughs, but I guess, the gossips beated them all...even from our closest friends.
We have been going out for more than 2 years now, and things seemed to have came to normal, giving the fact that we love eachother so much. I pretended not to have any problem with that, even thought it seemed akward to kiss her standing, but I kind of felt stronger, more special, like a star dating a model or something (she used to be one, acctually). We are both 23, and have a full life ahead of us, and do not intend to let some poor narrow minded people stand in our way to live happyly.

 

I am 5'6" and my gf is about 5'7". I don't mind it at all. I have dated a girl that was 5'9", that wasn't great. But being an inch shorter than my girl doesn't pose any problems.

 

yeay! My bf's 1.62 and I'm 1.72m so we have about a 10 cm hightdifference between us. There were some friends joking but since I'm pretty sarcastic and all I coped like I usually do, by making better jokes about it I used to call him 'mini me' hehehe.. ah well.. it's love that matters (unless it's an old perv with a kiddo ofcourse)

 

I prefer taller men, over 6ft...

I did date a guy the same height as me once (5'7) and never wore heals

I wouldn't rule out a shorter man, depending on how lovely his heart was

 

speaking as a guy, i'd preffer a gal to be a bit shorter than me, just for cuddles and such...i'm 6'2 so it's no big deal really, but also i kinda feel weird around my mate anna, who's about 5'.


i mean, i used to have a crush on her, as she's an amazing gal, but when we hug her heads at my chest, arms round my belly, it's weird! so i guess a bit shorter is ideal

saying that, i wouldn't give a monkey's about height if i felt she was special
