Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

[The Gentleman]

I don't often run across such ladies, but I don't believe I could make a lifetime partner of someone who's taller than me.

I am not sure of his reasons but the simple fact is that few men approach tall women. One of the reasons this is so is the whole arm in arm entering a room. You are subject to no end of jokes like do you stand on the curb to kiss her and dozens more that are more ribald in nature.:eusa_doh: You avoid that whole mess with someone the same size or shorter than you.
Another thing is that women themselves sort men by height and that limits chances or opportunities. Tall women will date a shorter guy but he has to be some celebrity like Dudley Moore or rich to make up for the height difference. lol lol The funny thing is that as a result you see and hear them complaining about not getting dates. :rofl:

Well, I believe a man is supposed to kind of be his wife's protector, and if she's taller than you - makes it awkward it that sense, I would feel more like her poodle than her boyfriend.
Besides, I feel I would get more admiration from a smaller woman than from a tall one. Size matters!

I'd dispute whether he who so limits himself for such reasons deserves to be called a man.

Funny timing on this thread.... I found myself in this situation earlier today. I come in at a dead even 6' and, while I was at the local big box store I was getting the "eyes" from the not unattractive cashier.... who was around 6'3-4.... If I had read this thread yesterday it would have been a no-brainer. "Of course I would! who cares about a little height difference" but now having been there and.... passed.... I can say "nope" wasn't working for me.

If she has massive tits I think it can work.

Being the subject of these kind of "jokes" can be very useful to find out who's a jerk in a matter of minutes. If I was dating a taller woman, I'd enjoy to hear those comments... and to answer some of them back

I tend to agree with this.

The proof is always in the pudding. When we get responses from me who have MARRIED women who are taller than them then we will see experience talking. lol lol

I see an if in there. Does this mean you have dated or married a taller than you woman?

Ah, experience talking.

its a challenge being only 5' 7" like climbing Everest in a good way, Being short I often encounter taller ladies and its fun and gives you different view point on things!

I kind of have to be. A lot of women I meet are taller than me (though not by much fortunately).

 

[Widebrim]

The tallest woman I went out with was a 5'9" Brazilian. The first time I saw her, she was wearing platforms, and was almost my height (6'). At first, I was a bit surprised, but since I like tall women, I had no real problem with it. (I must admit, though, I preferred it when she wore "regular" shoes...)

Now the truth comes out.

^^But as I wrote, it was okay her being close to my height with platforms...It was just nicer hugging her when she was her own real height...
