Also, do you date shorter guys?

[Bernadine]

I know there's no real reason why I shouldn't, but I'm having a hard time getting over it.

[callunafirefly]

My exH was about an inch taller than me. I never wore heels. Ever. The guy I dated after him was about 6in taller than me, and I luuuuved it. I don't think I could ever go back to someone on the short side and def not someone shorter. I have a friend though who does like it because she says the "parts" line up.

[doriswe]

I'm 5'7" and I loooovvveeee heels and most of mine are 3-4 inches. In my head I think it would look odd if I was dating someone my height, or smaller, and I was rocking huge shoes. I don't really need a reason to think I'm an amazon woman, you know? But I think I would be able to handle someone an inch or so taller, but shorter, probably not. Yup, I'm judgy like that!

[clw]

I'm 5'9", I dated a guy back in January/February that was 5'4". He was super cute too. The height difference didn't make a difference at all and quite frankly, I hardly noticed it.

My ex was just an inch taller than me and I wore heels all that time but he felt uncomfortable with me being taller than him. My new guy is 2 inches taller and it's nice to wear heels and I don't feel like I'm towering over him. I tend to not wear super high heels either, I'm good with a 3 inch but anything over that, I'm falling all over the place!

[bullygirl979]

I will date guys my height but I haven't dated anyone shorter. Quite frankly, I am 5'9 so it can be hard to find guys who are taller!!

And yes, I still rock heels with a guy who is my height!

[starburst604]

I'm with DorisWE. I know it's superficial and there are so many other qualities that are so much more important, but I'm 5'7" and always wear 3-4 inch heels. My last bf was 6'5" and I loved it. I always felt petite next to him and so "safe" somehow. I never really wanted to date shorter guys but it would be even harder for me now. That said, I don't get women who are like 5'3" and will only date guys over 6 feet. Save the tall guys for the taller girls!

[starryfish]

I am 5'10" and I will only date 5'11" and up. Its hard enough for me mentally to date someone the same-ish height as me. I prefer a couple of inches taller.

[farfalla2011]

No, I do not. Its a very irrational deal breaker of mine. I don't like to be eye level with my dude, I want him to be noticeably taller than me.

[marigoldgirl]

As I am only 5'2 everyone is taller than me.

[riverpestie]

I am 5'11" and I have dated guys shorter, but I definitely prefer taller than me.

[lovelybb]

I'm 5/2 and I like tall men, but hell everyone is taller than me!

I'm 5´1 and everyone is taller than me so I just didn't have an issue dating short guys.
Unfortunately, I ended up having a kid with the shortest guy I ever dated. I pray everyday for DD to be taller than us. That definitely changed the way I think about height lol.

[nextchapter]

I'm 5'6 and I would prefer a guy that is still taller than me when I'm wearing 3-4 inch heels.

[charitylynne79]

I prefer men that are taller than me. Sorry but they have to be taller than me.

[angieawesome]

I'm only 5'3, but I like wearing the big girl heels. I once dated a guy who was 5'6 and I was taller than him in heels. I like feeling petite. Usually 5'9 and up is good for me.

[wrathofkuus]

I would if there were any. I don't think I've ever met a grown man shorter than me who didn't have dwarfism.

[dakotadangerdog]

NOPE. I couldn't do it, I remember when I was 14 I "dated" a guy who was my height and I constantly was wondering IS HE SHORTER THAN ME? it totally bugged me haha.

[Lauren88]

I know it makes me sound like a bitch but I just can't date guys shorter then me. I'm kinda tall too, 5'9, so it's sometimes tough to find guys taller then me.
I dated this guy way before I was married that was just a little bit shorter, when I had flats on, and it didn't last because of the height issue.

This.
I've tried, and usually the guy doesn't care, but it really bothers me.

[Bernadine]

I'm messaging a guy that claims to be 5'5, so he's probably even shorter, right? I'm 5'4. But his profile was really funny. And he has a boat. The ability to go crabbing makes up for a few inches, lol.

[wrathofkuus]

I genuinely don't understand the woe over not being able to wear heels with a short dude, or the happiness at being able to wear heels all the time with a tall guy. Does anyone ever truly want to wear heels? They're awfully unpleasant to walk and stand in.

[heavenly]

I don't even care anymore about height! All I ask is for a kind, gentle and loving man which seems to be scarce around here.

[ravenb1111]

I can't.. Wish I could look past it.. 6 foot and up.. And I'm 5'6.. I just literally don't want to see eye to eye or look down on my dude

[hainesherway]

I like the tall ones. I'm 5'8 and L is 6'3. I dated a guy who was my height once and he always hated it when I wore heels.

I don't have a big issue with height as long as the guy is reasonable. I'm 5 6 so not super tall but not short. There is some to be said for the quote.

[cutter21]

BF is the same exact height as me. Doesn't bother me one bit though. I still wear heels when we go out and have never been worried about the height difference! I wouldn't date inches shorter than me (I'm 5'6") but same height or slightly taller are fine!

[BookLover]

My ex was an inch shorter then I was, I didn't notice it to much, but I've decided I like guys to be taller then I am. I'm 5'7 and I'm tired of always wearing flats. Superficial yes.

[mayflowers22]

I try not to judge a guy by his height, but obviously if he's shorter than me I take that as a disadvantage. Sometimes the advantages outweigh the disadvantages though

[offbeatmama]

It has never come up. I'm barely 5'1. I dated a guy who was 5'4 once. I could still wear 3 inch heels and not be taller than him.
